Bach Couple Update: First they had a stunning wedding in Cancun and then they honeymooned in Greece. Actually, they’re still in Greece because Rachel and Bryan are having a long-ass honeymoon. Their life is actually unreal. How gorgeous are these shots of Santorini?

The Bachelorette Week Ten aka The Finale aka Barftown

Here’s What Happened Monday

In Chris Harrison’s match-making finale special, we find out we’re stuck watching this for the next three hours. In this year’s twist, he has Bachelorette Lindsay present with the live studio audience to show her reaction as she witnesses the editors’ revisionist history of her life for the first time with the rest of us.

To recap, it is Rachel’s deepest dream to have Peter’s true love journey fit snugly into her pre-determined broadcast schedule, but her second deepest dream is to start a new breed of beautiful gap-toothed superhumans, so she invites Peter to stay the night in the Fantasy Suite just in case.

Sleazy Bryan draws the short straw as Spain Bang #3. On his date with Rachel, he tries to brag that he was great at meeting her family, to which Rachel responds with an internal eye roll and a large sip of wine. Rachel is physically on this date with Bryan but her head is still nuzzled in Peter’s chest hair. Bryan whines about that a little, and Rachel decides it will probably bring her clarity if she sleeps with him too, because, of course, escalating three relationships at once is a great way to clear one’s head.

The Rose Ceremony

Rachel arrives in an orange dress with plastic flower-covered sleeves that probably weigh forty pounds each to give roses to two of the three bearded lovers she has left. The two are – drumroll – Bryan and Peter, meaning that Dead Eric’s hopes for eternal love with Rachel are as dead as the rest of him. He demands one last hug from her warm human body but those damn sleeves get in the way, and we watch Dead Eric disintegrate before our eyes and return to the earthly dominion from whence he came.

Last Bryan Date

Rachel takes Bryan on a hot air balloon which is fitting because he’s full of hot air himself. They spend the entire time waving at small children and slobbering on each other. Later, Bryan gives Rachel a handmade dictionary of presumptuous vocabulary words for her to learn. (How do you say douche in Spanish?)

Last Peter Date

For Peter’s last date, Rachel takes him to a secluded monastery in the mountains to either get some monks to pressure him into proposing or, otherwise, to murder him somewhere nice and remote.

Later, he tells her again that he can’t see himself proposing in the next twenty-four hours because he wants to spend more than six weeks getting to know her. It’s frustrating for both of them but it’s even more frustrating for us, because we’re watching Rachel be a butthole and not listening to a perfect human man be perfectly human and reasonable.

Later-later, Peter tells Rachel he’ll propose anyway if that’s what it takes, but that doesn’t seem to make Rachel happy either. The only acceptable out from this impossible situation would be if Ashton Kutcher popped out and said “you just got Punked!” and revealed Peter on one knee.

At an impasse, the two cry, and Rachel walks away. She walks and cries. He sits in his undershirt and cries. It’s not totally clear that it was really a breakup, but considering Peter is sitting backstage in the loser’s section, we’re left to assume he is indeed a loser which makes Bryan the winner by default. Barf.

Peter comes onstage and over the next half hour it’s made clear that they are indeed not together. If we took a drink every time they say the word “frustrating” in this segment, we’d be blissfully dead by now.

Default Engagement, I Guess

Bryan scales an entire mountain to where his windswept default bride awaits him. He says some sappy smarmy shit as usual and Rachel responds, “your sappy smarmy shit is predictable and Peter is hotter than you but let’s be together forever.”  

Rachel settles. Bryan wins. The end. Barf. Bye.

WTF RACHEL?!?!

Seriously that was the most busted proposal/acceptance/final rose ever. I mean do you, but that was the most fake happiness ever. Anyone with eyes could tell that her interactions with Peter, her BEGGING him to take a risk and propose to her, and her need to be petty towards him during the live show, everything, were far more genuine than those she had with Bryan. Bryan was a lot of physical attraction and connection. You don’t beg someone to take a risk the day before a rose ceremony to turn around and choose someone else. You just don’t. Bryan got the girl as a consolation prize because her & Peter ended things the night before. 

Then she went and lied to the man telling him that she knew weeks prior that she was going to choose him. If she knew then why was she so hung up on the fact that Peter wasn’t ready. She choose Bryan cause Peter couldn’t choose her if it meant he needed to propose immediately. And that’s rational. 12 weeks is far too soon. He said he wanted more time and experience with her cause he got two dates with her that were just the two of them. You can’t take someone on two dates and expect them to be so in love with you that they want to propose immediately.

Even during their little bit of ATFR, it looked uncomfortable and fake and forced. He just wanted to show off the ‘prize’ and the ring. Otherwise he wouldn’t have felt the need to propose again. It was bogus.

It just sucks that her long standing fear of a relationship that never progresses (cause she held on to a relationship with a man for 5 years with no ring or promise of progression ) kept her from choosing the man that would’ve been the better choice for her. Especially since her family didn’t seem too fond of him and apparently neither are her friends. Go figure. We’ll hear more about them in a few months, once again on people magazine when they’re announcing their split.

'Bachelorette' Rachel and Bryan Respond to the Constant Social Media Backlash

[queen-kali]

In defense of Rachel Lindsay: she came on this show looking for a husband not a boyfriend. It was more than clear that she had a strong connection with Bryan. Just because u (a stranger) don't like him doesn't mean she made the wrong decision. At the end of the day she's happy and engaged so shut the fuck up
