The Bachelor Finale: Es Okay

Warning: this contains spoilers so if you don't know what happened and don't want me to ruin it for you, don't read this post.

As I have previously mentioned, I watch The Bachelor as my guilty pleasure and this season has been quite a disappointment. Mostly, it has been super confusing.  I'm sure the finale made sense to Juan Pablo and maybe to the lucky lady he chose but to the audience, it was simply confusing.

Here's what happened.  Juan Pablo chose Nikki (that was exciting for me because despite all the hate hype, I was rooting for her) but he didn't get engaged to her or even tell her that he loved her.


While, I think it's awesome to not jump into marriage quicker than you are ready for it, to not even tell the girl who has just poured her heart out to you and told you that she loves you that you love her is just rude.  One of the basic rules of the show is that the bachelor/bachelorette can't tell the contestants how they truly feel about them (for example, say I love you) before the "final rose."  Usually the bachelor/bachelorette is dying to say it by the time we get there and they just get all excited that they can finally tell that one person their feelings.  It's a beautiful moment.  But we didn't get that this season.  

Also, maybe it's a culture thing but Juan Pablo's constant "es okay" was super irritating.  It was especially so because he said it in moments where he should have said something else.  


Overall, The Bachelor this season was a little disappointing but don't worry because as Juan Pablo says, "es okay." And his season is over so it truly is okay.

  1. I totally agree! I didnt watch this season because I heard it was Juan Pablo, but I did watch the finale and that was enough. I was so annoyed with Juan Pablo after only a few minutes of watching him.

  2. Haha. You crack me up Maddie. I have to admit I haven't actually watched this show. I think I maybe saw an episode or two when it was super brand new. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love accents. But that sounds like it would get really annoying and old real fast!
