Wow, all the hate for Helene!
I was thrilled that he picked her. The more I watched of the show last night, the more I liked Helene and disliked Brooke. I was on the edge of my seat by the end! Helene and Aaron just "click" -- they're into each other and it's so clear that they are having a great time. When he was with her, he was always smiling, unlike with Brooke where he just looked sad, and Helene is always laughing and talking and having fun. I think that of the women, Helene was the MOST real and the most true to herself because she really seemed to be acting like who she was, and he could like her or not. I think it's a shame to say that she didn't seem excited enough or should've been crying. Not everyone shows excitement the same way at all -- it's not her personality to be all mushy, but that doesn't mean that she appreciates or feels it any less. She is an independent, mature woman, and I think that she is very much in love but is just more, say, understated than someone like Brooke, and there is nothing wrong with that. I think they make an awesome couple and will be very happy together.
Brooke, on the other hand, really got on my nerves as the evening went on... She was fake. She even admitted (basically) to being fake when he "broke up" with her and she got in the car and admitted that she wanted to tell him that he was making a mistake. Well then, WHY DIDN'T SHE? Because she was being fake; she was being this sugary sweet delicate little thing who says what she feels she's "supposed" to say all the time, to make the "right" impression. She even said she was "putting her game face on" for his family. I found it very annoying when she was at his place going on and on saying how "nice" and "beautiful" everything was, but then telling the camera that it needed a woman's touch. That's fake! She wasn't being honest. She's too young to get married, and I think that she was much too caught up in this fantasy dream world of what marriage is, but she doesn't really understand the reality of it. Plus, her answers to his parents were all non-answers, like "When you know, you know." That's not saying anything!
Anyway, I did feel bad for her because I know she was very upset, but really, that's a risk you take when you put yourself in this situation. I don't think it was fair for her to say that she didn't deserve this, because she signed up for the chance of having her heart broken and there was no guarantee that it would've turned out better for her. She went into this knowing full well what might happen.
Anyway, I just wish we had gotten to see more of Aaron's decision making process. He went from being totally on the fence one day to Knowing (with a capital K) who he wanted. I think he wanted Helene all along, but I wanted to see more of how he actually, really, finally made up his mind.
