Every girl loves the Cinderella story. We believe love would exist at least in children's books and tv screens. What happens if this is not the case anymore. What if even the Bachelor couldn't find love among 25 gorgeous women?
I'm glad and also sad that I was curious enough to watch the Bachelor finale last night. I have not seen any other episodes this season, but certainly I was expecting a normal ending--the bachelor, Brad, would pick one of the girls, and send the other one home. This heaven for the lucky girl and hell for the unfortunate girl ending would be very typical.
However, it changes in a split second. Here's a recap from ABC,
"Brad is excited as DeAnna arrives, saying that she has all the
qualities he's always looked for in a wife. He admits that as hard as
it was to say goodbye to Jenni, he's even more scared and nervous about
what he's going to say to DeAnna.
She arrives in a short gold gown and Chris leads her to the garden. In
voiceover, we hear her say she can't wait to see him again and that
it's the happiest she's been in a long time. She's not sure if she's
going to end up engaged to "the most perfect man I've ever met" or if
she'll end up in a limo going home with a broken heart. If he proposes,
she intends to say yes, saying she'll be the happiest person in the
world.
She joins Brad and he tells her she looks beautiful. He
says he's never met anyone like her in his entire life. He remembers
the night he met her and the first time he kissed her. He asks,
"Remember when you told me that marriage for you is one time and one
time only?" and he says he feels the same way. He tells her he just
said goodbye to Jenni and DeAnna smiles, starting to become confident
of what's coming next.
Brad seems to get a case of nerves and
suddenly walks away. He comes back after a moment and takes her by the
hand and says he's going to be completely honest with her. He has so
many feelings for her and just wants to spin her around and give her
the diamond ring, but he can't look her in the eye and tell her that he
loves her, he says sadly. He refuses to give her any promises that he can't keep. "I have to tell you goodbye," he says.
"I don't understand," she says, starting to cry. She doesn't understand
how he can watch her walk away if he really has such strong feelings
for her. She believes the difference between them is that she's sure,
and he's not. "Do you know how much I care about you?" he asks and she
says, "No, I don't."
She says she thought she had everything
figured out, until this moment. "This is why I don't wear my heart on
my sleeve," she tells him and Brad hugs her.
"What happens
when you regret your decision?" she asks him and he admits he doesn't
know. He says he's sorry, but he has to walk her out, right now. At the
limo, he tells her, "I'm sorry, so sorry," and gives her a long hug."
I can't believe it. It is so crude for him to say that he can't look into her eyes and says he loves her. So does that mean he has been faking all these times? I would understand if he says he cannot marry her, but not loving her is just too harsh.
Poor Jenni and DeAnna. I think both girls are better off without him. Who knows what happens in the future if they did get married.
I wonder if ABC would still run the next season as usual and how many girls are brave enough to get on.
