The Final Rose!

Spoiler alert ahead, so if you haven't watched Ben propose yet, sorry!

Come on!!! We knew it was Lauren from like, week two! 

I sent a tweet when she got out of the limo that said something like "oooo, he likes Lauren!" How did I know? The freaking look! He looked at her in a way that we all want someone to look at us. He looked at her in a different way than any of the other girls! 

"But he loved JoJo, too!"

True. and the best argument I've heard on this is that he called her his best friend (I've got my own personal thoughts on falling for a best friend. I'm saving that for another blog.) and I agree 100% with the argument, but I was having a conversation with one of my best friends and if he really did love JoJo, then how is it that once Neil Lane asked if he made a choice, he easily, confidently said yes. 

I think his connection with JoJo may have been more of a physical attraction, where as Lauren is definitely a 100% emotional love. The real kind. 

And you JoJo lovers get to watch her give out roses come May!

I heard that the terrible women on "The View" today we're pissed that he called her dad before popping the question instead of mom. Well okay, miss "I take women's rights to a new low," are you kidding!? It's tradition that a gentelman call and ask for her dads permission. People like that have too much time and aren't happy with their lives. Come on! 

There is one thing that did throw me off, and again, maybe it's because of a personal connection, I don't know. I posted on Twitter and Facebook that I was annoyed when Ben said he was worried that things seem so easy and comfortable with Lauren. HE'S SCARED ABOUT BEING COMFORTABLE with the one he loves!? Why!!!??

Aren't you suppose so be at ease and comfortable with the person you spend your life with? Are you not suppose to feel like you can tell them anything, laugh, cry and be best friends with? Why does that scare people!? Ggrrrrr!!! Happiness and good comes from giving into your fears! *pulling my hair out and shouting this 

Anyways, that's what annoyed me

most. That and the extra long, corny speech given at the end when Ben took over for Chris Harrison, it was way past bedtime. Oh! And the ring. Of all the ones he had to choose from, why that one!? I didn't know Neil Lane had ugly rings! 

I say every year that I'm not going to obsess over it, that's a lie. I'm looking forward to May when JoJo starts passing out roses, one to the brother of GB Packer, Aaron Rodgers! 

Be sure to join me in tweeting about it, follow me @RadioKatie1

Until next time! 

Ben loves her, but he loves her too?

One of my guilty pleasures since going to college in Mankato had been the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. I'm a JUNKIE!

I look forward every week to live tweeting it and sharing snarky remarks that do or do not make sense and I love it even more when the Twitter world responds!

I lived in Montana over the summer and toyed with the idea of going to the casting call for this season of the bachelor. Why I didn't go, again, no valid excuse! I'm still kicking myself because it ended up being Ben Higgins!

This week was the overnight date week, let's be honest. Who wouldn't take a fantasy suite with Ben? 

The thing that stood out to me the most happened in the first 5 minutes of the show, when he was talking about the three girls left. JoJo, Caila and Lauren B!

The way he talked about Lauren. The hopeless romantic in me couldn't help but smile, his voice was different, he was emotional, he needs to marry her like yesterday!

And then I started hating him. He made us all cry when he broke the rules and dropped "L" word to Lauren. But then, he said it to JoJo too! What the eff, Ben!? 

And the hatred grew. Caila. Oh, Caila. The poor girl was so happy going over there. Producers more than likely saw how happy she was and knew she was going home so they ruined her day on purpose. 

This was so hard to watch because we've all been there, we've all poured our hearts out to someone and expressed our feelings only to have them not reciprocated. It just plain sucks. So I feel for her, we all do. 

Also, her exit was the perfect set up for for next Bachelorette. I like Becca, but this was her second time around, amber has been on a few times with the franchise and the runner up, well, she won't be able to compare to Caila's exit. Let's be honest. 

The real question I have is How can he tell both women that he's in love with them!? If you love someone, to me, there's no one else. Even when you break up with someone but still love them, you can't love someone else and it would take a fight to convince me otherwise. 

So, do I think he loves either of them? No. I think he's got a better connection and he really really cares about Lauren in all the right ways, but likes JoJo's ... Umm, whatever. He can't love both of them. 

He gets emotional and all adorable when it comes to Lauren, like I said, just choose her!

What's with the previews? The phone call? Does he pull a Jason Mesnick and propose to the wrong girl? Has he not stopped thinking about our girl, Caila? 

I've had a hard time really getting into this season, but I'm super excited to see what happens there. 

I don't think I'll watch the women tell all because I never enjoy them, it makes me embarrassed to be a woman and seeing all the name calling and emotional breakdowns. We all have them, just behind closed doors or in our cars screaming to loud music. Any place other than national television, girls! 

On a completely different note, so many sweet words about my last post, even Heidi Powell saw it and gave me a virtual fist bump, yes! Your kind words are my motivation, so thank you again!

I went completely out of my comfort zone and took the next step in this whole journey. What was it? Check back tomorrow ;).
