    @sheskrafty: I think Andi is really boring too though, so who knows!

    Just finished watching, and not going to lie, I was pretty excited Chris was sent home! I did not want him to end up with Andi. I've never particularly liked her (or disliked her for that matter). I thought Chris handled the exit well, and I'm pretty sure even if he isn't the next bachelor, he will have no problem with the ladies after this.

    DH is firmly in Nick's camp as winner. Just because he thinks he cannot be wrong on his bachelorette/bachelor winner predictions, I'm rooting hard for Josh.

    I'm eh about everyone this season. Marcus was boring but he was HOT. Chris was sweet but not her type. Josh doesn't feel that genuine to me for some reason. And Nick. No. Anyone else still thinking about the stripper episode? Hubba hubba!!

    @78h2o: I'm watching!

    I definitely liked Josh over Nick.

    Oh geez! So I'm a few minutes behind....but did anyone see the conversation with Nick on After the Rose?!?

    @Hoots: "why did you make love to me?" So awkward!

  8. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    Yeah....awkward! But I felt for him...I do feel like she led him on. Sounds like she likely slept with them both...which is fine, more power to her, but I think he had a right to be upset about the fact that she basically made saying I love you a necessity to go to the Fantasy Suite but then she said she never felt that for him??

    It really doesn't seem like she has the intellectual connection with Josh that she had with Nick, but she seems to really like athletic/manly men like Josh. I'm not that impressed, but hopefully they are happy! They will make beautiful babies.

    @Reese: I know! I felt really bad for him. I could see why he thought she took it too far. I'm really not sure how she could be so positive Josh was it--I mean, she compared Josh as the greater love-- and then go hop in bed with someone else!

    On another front...I thought we were supposed to find out who the next bachelor was? What happened to that?!?

    @Hoots: I know, the while thing is so bizarre.

    I still hope Chris!

    @Reese: @Hoots: So awkward but i loved it!!

    So did anyone else think that Andi was a stone cold bitch to Nick the second she walked out on the stage?

    And how could Josh be okay with going on stage after Nick declared he had sex with Andi?

    Also, I hate when Chris Harrison talks about someone doing good with the ring. The ring was paid for by Neil Lane. Anyone can do good on someone else's dime. Whatevs.

    And isn't Michelle Money like 40+ now? I can't believe she's going to be on Bachelor In Paradise. But I'm so going to watch it.

    Okay.. another thing... Chris Harrison laughing and smiling after the Bachelor In Paradise preview ends in someone getting arrested and someone being taken away in an ambulance and what clearly looks like an assault and battery situation. Oh my gosh... this is degeneracy.

    @MrsMcD: Supposedly it is just edited to look that way. I think this is a no spoilers thread so I won't say what happened according to Reality Steve but it's definitely not assault & battery.

    I can't decide what Nick's deal is. I thought he was playing the game the whole time but maybe he truly is heartbroken.

    As for the happy couple, I saw a tweet that said, "Clearly Andi & Josh never used Tindr." I can't believe they live 5 minutes from each other!

  14. MrsKRB

    I'm happy she picked Josh, they looked really adorable together at the end of the show!

    Nick is a psycho.

  15. Hoots

    kiwi / 673 posts

    @MrsMcD: I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought Andi was pretty cold. I also don't think what he said was below the belt like she kept claiming. I mean, if she had sex with him, then she had to know it was a possibility that it was going to come out. I hope she told Josh... she had to have, right?

    I didn't particularly like Nick, but I really didn't like the way that went down. But as soon as Chris Harrison said that the loser tried to see Andi twice, I knew Josh won. Nick seemed more the type to do that. Oh well...kinda glad this season is over. Hope next season is better.

  16. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @Hoots: YES, I thought the same thing when Chris was talking about the loser, I knew Josh wouldn't do that. I do think Andi led Nick on though, she kept saying 'you have nothing to worry about' on their last date.

  17. sheskrafty

    I thought Andi was pretty rude when she was breaking up with Nick. She never really gave him a good explanation. I feel bad for the guy - he was always confident in their relationship and then seeing him like a hurt puppy dog definitely humanized him. I did laugh a lot when he called her out for sleeping with him.

    I am happy for Andi and Josh - they are super cute together even though they look like brother/sister. I thought Josh was going to rub Andi's shoulder off at one point.

    Chris has got to be the next Bachelor. I was pretty peeved I stayed up to see that announcement that didn't happen.

    Is it terrible I want to watch Bachelor in Paradise? I feel like my standards in TV watching are plummeting quickly.

  18. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    Yeah I can't really make up my mind about Nick either... I don't feel TOO bad for him, since this is the name of the game. I feel like when you're in this show, you'll just have to accept all the messed up things that come along with it! He has all the right to be upset, but at the end of the day, she chose who she wanted.

    And I guess Josh really can't say much about the sex situation... Although in the real world that really is not cool!

    I think I might be the only one who was disappointed that Josh won! He did seem to be the better fit for her but something about him drove me nuts. Too much of a schmoozer or something, like he just goes on and on with nothing really of substance coming out of his mouth? Not sure if that's the best way to describe it.

    Not that Nick was perfect (neither were my personal favs) but I was actually rooting for him over Josh. She did seem like a stone cold B in the live part and I also got a laugh out of her being outed for sleeping with him.

    I wasn't a fan of Nick's at all throughout the entire season but I did feel bad for him when she broke up with him. She didn't explain anything to him and that wasn't fair, especially since she was sending him home before the rose ceremony. I did think his comment on After the Final Rose was below the belt, I think his only reason for saying that was to hurt her. I think she definitely seemed cold towards Nick, but if he really has been trying to track her down (stalk her) then I can see why.

    I was happy Josh won. I liked him from the start and I do think they're a great fit. They seemed so happy togeter on ATFR

    @SLR: I totally agree about Josh. No substance. That being said, he is easy on the eyes and I do think they look pretty adorable together... just wonder about their staying power if there's nothing deeper there, but who knows, maybe there is...

    @alohaorchid: I don't know...I don't really think he was stalking her. He tried to see her twice, but they had been sort of talking marriage and apparently they slept together. I totally think she led him on, especially on their last date with her "you have nothing to worry about" comments... I do feel like she owed him a better explanation. I don't blame the guy for trying to get some closure. I also don't really blame him for bring up the fact that they slept together... maybe if she'd agreed to talk to him earlier he wouldn't have had to bring that up on national tv, but she didn't.

    I really don't like the way that Andi broke it off with any of the final guys. She wasn't very nice to Chris...I think I read something where they called it "sob screaming" and I think that is right on. She didn't have to go on and on about how it wasn't Iowa, it was him, and cry so much that he had to console her. I thought she was pretty cold to Nick and the others as well and focused more on how hard it was for her than on how hard it might be for them. That being said, I do think it was kind of her to forgo the ring selection and rose ceremony. It's really bugged me on other seasons when it's gotten that far.

    @MrsMcD: Totally agree about the ring! So silly. It also makes me laugh when contestants {cast members?} gush about the dates as if the Bachelor/Bachelorette actually planned them just for them. We know it's a show, it seems like unnecessary dialogue.

    I really didn't see the connection with Josh until the very end so it surprised me when she said she loved him from the moment he stepped off the limo. But ... they seem happy so it's all good! And they don't have to move ... that's nice!

    @SLR: I was disappointed she picked Josh! I was disappointed in her final 2 in general, though.

    I never cared that much for Nick but I definitely agree with him that she led him on. She never gave him (or anyone else!) a single indication that she might have any doubts about him and constantly talked about the passion between them. As far as her claiming on After the Rose that if she had loved him she would have said it - that's BS! She "loved" Josh but never said it to him! I don't blame Nick for calling her out on sleeping with him, either. Yes, it probably should have been kept private, but he TRIED to talk to her in private, and she refused. It seemed like he was hinting to her that she knew how much sex meant to him/how serious it was for him, and that she should not have done it if she didn't love him - which is a totally valid point. I feel bad for the guy.

    Did anyone watch Andi and Josh on Jimmy Kimmel? It was so awkward! At one point Kimmel asked Andi if she knew from the beginning Josh was the one (and when she told him she had chosen him she did say she knew from the moment she saw him it was love) and she replied that she really didn't know until the morning of the final rose ceremony! Josh just gave her a "WTF??" look and she tried to back pedal. Then he mentioned seeing her at a club before filming in Atlanta, but not being able to talk to her because he was already casting for the show, and she said she hadn't noticed him at the club or else she would have canceled the show and just dated him. And he was like "I saw you look right at me!" Awwwkwarrrddd.

    @daniellemybelle: I totally agree it could be the editing. Thanks for reminding me about that. I get all caught up sometimes.

    @KelLeeLeee: I thought they looked adorable together, too.

    @Hoots: So glad you agree she was cold. I know Nick looked like a sore loser, but Andi's bitchiness trumps Nick's soreness in my opinion. Too bad for her.

    @sheskrafty: I am absolutely going to watch Bachelor in Paradise!!

    @snowjewelz: I think Josh can totally say something about the sex situation!!! My DH would have dropped me so fast if I slept with another guy in the fantasy suite. But Josh was actually pretty classy about it later on the Jimmy Kimmel show. He said he was happy Andi had her fun on the show.

    @rrachael: I agree with all you said!

  25. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @IRunForFun: Yes!!! I had the same thoughts about all of that on the JK show!

  26. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @MrsMcD: I agree that Josh handled it well. I'm sure she must have told him about it way before the after the rose episode. I think you have to know going into a situation like that that a lot of crazy things ARE going to happen. I've never seen an episode where the bachelor/bachelorette wasn't at least making out with someone else days before accepting a proposal.

  27. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    @IRunForFun: you make a good point! She would keep telling Josh about her reservations with their relationship, but she never gave Nick that chance to fix it.

  28. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @rrachael: I never really saw the connection either... totally saw it with her and Nick, but not with Josh. She would always make those comments though about it being "too good to be true" and it always left me wondering, "what?!"... "what is too good to be true? 'm not seeing anything that amazing!" I agree though that it could be the editing of the show. Maybe they didn't get the stuff where they were really connecting on film or edited it out to give the show some twists.

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @sheskrafty: And yes to the rubbing Andi's shoulder off!!! Hahahaha.

    @IRunForFun: Yes, I thought those moments on Jimmy Kimmel were totally awkward. Also.. Josh seems so much more perky now that he's been picked. He really didn't seem to have too much of a personality in this way. Or maybe it was the editing. But he just seems like a different person. Same with Chris the farmer. But oh my gosh, the farmer seems so much more confident now. That's hot.

  30. 78h2o

    grapefruit / 4441 posts

    @MrsMcD: totally hot! I really hope he's the next bachelor.

  31. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    @MrsMcD: Yeah... He either doesn't like it, but understands that's how this works, OR he doesn't really care lol and they won't last too long. Hey she can always pull a Jason and say "oops" and pick the other one still!

    I also take all of this with a grain of salt since the show is so heavily edited to show a story they want to tell. Maybe she really did want to go w/ Nick and had to sleep w/ him to know for sure?! That's not how I roll at all but maybe for her she needed the FS.

    I also thought that all the leads HAVE to act like they're super torn between the two no matter what?

  32. nana87

    cantaloupe / 6171 posts

    So I'd read the spoilers and knew she was going to pick josh and maybe that's why I thought this, but I always thought she had more natural chemistry w him! She had this different way of speaking to him than any of the other guys-- her voice got lower and she spoke faster when they were talking/flirting, and her accent got stronger. And the week with the lie detector test-- she kept saying how it'd been a rough, dramatic week, but it was only josh who had been upset-- I thought it was telling of how much she felt for him then since she was so upset about how he was annoyed

    @MrsMcD: @78h2o: I love Chris and really want him to be the next bachelor! I am not sure if he will, though. He might have met someone else, I am sure he's not having any trouble with the ladies now!

    @nana87: Speaking of accents... during Josh's proposal it sounded like he either had a major southern accent, a speech impediment or like some kind of gangster drawl. Hahaha. Anyone else notice that?

  35. loki

    pear / 1787 posts

    @MrsMcD: omg i was saying that all night!!! he was talking like... when justin bieber tries to be gangster? it was so weird. and then sometimes kinda like a southern preacher??? what was going on? he totally rubs me the wroooooooooooong way.
    i really liked nick and thought they seemed so much more natural. i feel like josh & andi have exclusively lust. obviously they only show us what they want us to see but i saw ZERO depth. and he is about as intelligent as a box of rocks. whaaaaaat does a lawyer see in that guy? also for someone who wants to distance himself from the typical athlete stereotype... he sure does enjoy bringing up the fact that he's an athlete. if my DH mentioned hockey when he proposed i woulda lost my mind! haha.

  36. IRunForFun

    pomelo / 5509 posts

    @MrsMcD: I did! It almost sounded like he was rapping his proposal speech to her, hahahaha.

    GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts

    @IRunForFun: @loki: I am so glad I wasn't alone on this. He may have sounded ghetto, but I didn't want to offend anyone if what he truly had was a southern accent. But he didn't talk that way during the rest of the show. So random. I think Andi likes that he's from her area and she also likes the sports aspect. I also think she figures she could go out clubbing with Josh in Atlanta, whereas what would she be doing with Nick? Going to work, going to gym and then making out on the couch? Just as an aside... that's like my perfect day. But apparently she likes clubbing.

  38. MrsKRB

    nectarine / 2465 posts

    I totally get what she was saying about Nick, though. He is so serious and she probably would have been miserable. She seems really happy and fun with Josh. My husband, who never watched 1 episode, watched with me last night and said Nick looks like he would beat his wife up. I kind of agree, he's way too emotional.

  39. loki

    pear / 1787 posts

    @MrsMcD: well he's from florida originally and the floridians i know don't have accents like that??? and ya it totally came outta nowhere. all night to my dh i was like WHY IS HE TALKING LIKE THAT? glad others noticed!
    have fun clubbing, talking about baseball and watching josh's little brothers football games for life, andi. i can't imagine this lasting.

    @loki: "watching josh's little brothers football games for life" This made me laugh out loud. Especially the "for life" part. So funny.
