I agree on the "winner"....but I would not want to be Jesse and have to tell the "barfer"!!!

Ehh...I hate how they have filmed this finale.
How can you show what is supposed to be a romantic moment,
and then flash to someone throwing up?
...Off to watch what Tara has to say...

SPOILER





Yay! I'm glad Jessica B won! If I had been going for Tara going into it, I'm not sure I would have liked her after all of that! Now if I could just find out for sure if Jess is a DZ....

What did you all think about him not proposing? Did you see the way his hands were shaking? Cute.

[ADPiShannan]

I like them both. I thought for sure he would pick Tara though. I feel horirble for her cause I think she really fell for him. I think Jess is adorable though.

[MTSUGURL]

I thought it was good that he didn't propose but made it clear that this is where they're going, and that he wanted her with him and gave her the ticket. I'm SO glad he picked Jessica. Tara already knew she was going home - I thought anyway. I hadn't kept up with it as much as I did the other seasons, but even just from tonight I thought that he and Jessica were a fit. Especially after the two women in his life (Jenny and Mom) confirmed it.

Go Jessica!

After Trish(and yes I liked her, regardless of how the show protrayed her), I started pulling for Jessica. Tara was too drawn in and didn't show her feelings until the very end of the show.

I know everyone will be watching next week, because it looks like Tara has some things to say!

[AGDee]

He was on The View yesterday and they was pressing him to tell them whether he had found true love and how things were between them now. He was very evasive "Only time will tell". He said he was looking forward to being able to see her publicly (which they aren't allowed to do while the show is on) and said she was very mature about seeing him with all the other women and understood the process of the show.

He also said Trish is a good person and that they portrayed her worse than she was.

Is it just me, or did Tara and Jesse totally 'do it'?! I think that's why she got so pissy..."Things that were said and DONE on our final ALONE date..."

It probably won't last, but they did look so darn cute during the credits! I like Jessica! I can't believe the one I liked actually got picked!

That's what I think she was referring to. BUT, if she was that worried about how she'd look or feel if she did that and didn't get picked, then she should have kept her legs together! If he was going to pick her it would have been the next day and she could have given it up then. But she didn't wait, so tough cookies!

I missed their "final" date, but I did manage to record the last 45 minutes, which was the rose ceremony.

So as for them "doing it", I can't even hazard a guess, but I mean how would you want to do something like that. I mean it's not the Real World where you pretty much expect most of the cast members to have sex, but not the Bachelor. Who knows.

I too am so excited that he picked Jessica. I'm bad though. I cheated and looked at this forum before the episode even started to air. It doesn't matter though, the Bachelor FINALLY picked the woman I wanted. LOL.

As for it not lasting I really think it depends. I think they both have to put a lot of time and energy into saving the relationship. I also think she should definately move to NY. I know she would have to quit law school (wherever she is going) but there are law schools in NY. I think it is definately important that they be in the same state/town, otherwise the relationship will most likely not survive. I also think that she needs to get used to the publicity. We know that that was Jenn and Andrew's problem. He was used to the publicity and the cameras while Jenn was more of an introvert. Until things calm down it comes with the publicity, she is just gonna have to get used to the cameras following them around. They just really have to work on saving the relationship because the odds are against them.

I know that I would love for this relationship to survive though, because they look adorable together and they truly look very much in love.

He definately chose the right woman.

[SATX*APhi]

I feel he chose the right gal, but secretly I was rooting for Tara. Like Jenny, Tara was my favorite, but I know Jessica was a better match for him.

Was it just me, or is the first person out of the limo always the one that is being sent home? If they switched it around this season, I am not a fan of this twist or any of the others. I like the Bachelor/Bachelorette how it was prior to all of these shenanigans.

As for Tara, I felt so sorry for the girl.. puking her brains out on the way there, meanwhile Jessica and Jesse are professing their love for each other. I think Tara and Jesse definitely got it on during their last date and she totally called him out about it.. saying over and over that things were INAPPROPRIATE during their last date. The thing is, she knew that there was a possibility of not being picked when she did it, so I don't really feel sorry for her at all when it comes to that.

oh yeah, and Jessica watching Jesse say goodbye to Tara from afar.. at least give Tara a little respect.. that just seemed kinda wrong.

Two things:
1) I think it's awesome that Tara called Jesse out on his behavior. Obviously we don't know what went on behind closed doors - and yes it takes two - but, if he slept with her knowing that her was likely going to pick someone else, that's just wrong. It was refreshing to see someone comment on the fact that the Bachelors/Bachelorettes kiss/sleep with/say they care, and have little regard for the discarded people's feelings.
2) I thought it was tacky that Jessica was standing in the open window watching Jesse and Tara. I don't know if she was able to hear - and granted she could see it all on TV later - but that was rude.

I totally agree with you for the most part. But, they did show Jessica eventually walking away from the window. I'll admit that I probably would have watched for a little bit too. I'd be curious to see what the other girl was wearing!

I don't see how Jessica's age was such a big deal seeing that Jesse is just 25 himself. I thought she responded beautifully to Jesse's dad when he questioned her age. I had a feeling he would pick Jessica after his mom gave her the thumbs up!

I'm just happy for Jesse and Jessica. They seem like a great match and they're my favorite Bachelor couple behind Jen and Andrew. Hopefully they'll make it. When I first heard he was going to give her a plane ticket, I was afraid it was going to be cheesy, but it was really sweet. It was also really cute that he had her dad's note.

Yeah, I think it was awesome that Tara called him out on his behavior also. I would have most likely done the same thing. I am just saying I don't feel sorry for her because she knew that this outcome was a possibility. I don't think Jesse did anything with Tara, knowing he was going to choose Jessica.. he wasn't even sure what to do up until the last day (supposedly)

The first person out of the limo is usually the person sent home. But my thoughts are that because Tara got sick the limo had to pull over and that delayed her. Since the show was edited we don't know how long the delay actually was. I'm sure the camera men contacted the producers and said "what should we do". The producers then probably just decided to allow Jessica's limo to arrive first. I don't think they did this on purpose. Plus, Jesse states that he hadn't seen Tara yet, which I guess proves that she should have arrived first. B/C I'm sure Jessica and Jesse knew the name of the game and that the first limo carries the girl you say goodbye too.

As for if they (Jesse and Tara) had sex. I hate to say this, but she knew the name of the game. She knew that their were two women left. It takes two people to consent to sex. So if they did in fact have sex she knew that it might not come down to her in the end. If they did in fact have sex, it sounds like, with what she was saying about inappropriate behavior, she figured the sex was an automatic rose for her. I don't say this to be callous or to diminish her feelings but if you think having sex will keep a guy you are sadly mistaken.

As for Jessica watching. I would be curious also. I too would want to see what she was wearing, but she didn't stand at the window long.
