I CANNOT believe she chose Ian!! Where was the connection between the two? I think I think it's on a plane somewhere doing some international traveling.

She said she always chose the wrong guy, the bad guy. Looks like she did it once again.
And Ian only proposed because he was so caught up in the moment and was thrilled that she chose him. He either will get out of the relationship before the wedding or shortly after they exchange I DO's.
It's all about Matthew. Hottie boy from Texas. He was SOOO in love with her! I don't think Ian was in love with her. He was in love with the idea of having a woman care for him, and I guess Meredith is willing to be his Mom. She said it herself: "I will always be here to take care of you. You will never have to worry." or something to that effect.
This is the ONLY Bachelor/Bachelorette season that has left me disappointed. I hope this doesn't ruin my Bachelor/Bachelorette addiction.
