I got home about an hour into the show, but taped the beginning. I have to admit that it was much more interesting than Monday's show, so I watched the taped part after. First thing I noticed was that on Monday when we last saw Cassie, she had finished packing & was ready to go. Her hair was poker straight (looked good). Colton knocked on her door. Last night when she answered the door her hair was curled. A big bit of editing tricks. Clearly some major time had passed. Chris Harrison was a lecherous jerk. He made me uncomfortable just listening/watching him. I could imagine how Colton felt. His obsession about Colton's virginity was way over the top. Even more than previous episodes. When Chris pushed the lose your virginity thing when they were both on stage at the end, I would have loved for Colton (or Cassie) to say "None of your business, Chris. Will you just shut up about it & get a life?" I did like Colton's answer though. I hope we never have another virgin Bachelor or Bachelorette for this reason. I have to admit that Demi (What on earth was she there for anyhow?) behaved like an almost normal person last night. She actually had a gracious comment or two for Colton & Cassie. All in all I enjoyed the show last night. Possibly because I really didn't know what was coming & how it would end. It was nice to finally see the lead & a contestant handle this like real people. Kimmel said something like this on his show last night. He was very complimentary to them for this, and very nice to them. Not his usual snark. Colton turned out to be an OK guy & the season was OK too. I wish them well. Glad we got a happy ending. Phoniness of the show or not, I do like a happing ending. My major problem with this season was the youth & immaturity of the contestants. We need contestants, especially the women, who are in their late 20's at least, instead of very early 20's. As to Hanna-and-her-teeth, she didn't improve my opinion of her last night. Very vapid. But I think I can tolerate her enough to watch her season, at least for a while.

Ugh. That Nick Viall guy (clearly a RS reference) was gross. Oh look, they have more time to kill, so Hannah will "suddenly" give out her first rose. embarrassed to ask but what is RS?

I agree, although they also do take after take after take..
Reality Steve, it's where most people read spoilers of the season..if they want.

I don't feel so good about this. He basically talked her into feeling the way he wanted her to feel. He railroaded her into the relationship when she was ready to go home. When you break it down in to today's vernacular, he stalked her. He has shown controlling and possessive tendencies that in the long run are not good in a relationship. She seems happy right now, and I am going to give her props in that she is going slow and refuses to become engaged before she seems to be ready to.
Still, if this one breaks down in a few months, it is going to be one of those clear cases where the editing pointed to the possibilities for everyone to see.
Sigh....I sound like such a Debbie Downer, but some of us have lived a long time now, and we have crashed into life. We have learned from those crashes - the hard way, and it is so hard to see other people head into the same situations some time imagining what can and very well might happen.
OK....I am done.

I hear what you're saying, and if that's the scoop, I really hope she'll bail sooner rather than later. But with this show, it's really hard to know what's real. It's just as possible that she was really into him and the producers manipulated her into thinking that she should leave if she wasn't ready to get engaged. They will do whatever is needed to get the story line they want (and they likely knew that she was his first choice and wanted to mess with him).* I was watching a recap video today and saw the footage of her getting ready to leave before he came to ask her to stay, and almost all of it was voiceover, which means that the audio could come from anywhere. All of that stuff she was saying about it not being fair to Colton to stay when he wants to much to be married was likely from an ITM filmed before the breakup. And talking about how good it will be to see her family again and get back to normal life is probably something that all of them would say if asked the right question. I used to create corporate training, and just with the little editing experience I have, I know how easy it is to repurpose things and use something in a totally different context than what it was originally for, so I tend to look pretty carefully at what's voiceover vs. video where I see lips moving and saying stuff in a specific context, and there's a whole lot of stuff that's done as voiceovers that look pretty fishy to me. I wish them luck, and I guess we'll see. You could be. right. It's just hard to know. *The first time I remember seeing them mess with an outcome was on Jason's season. It was so clear to me that he was into Molly far more than Melissa, and they flew in Deanna to mess with his mind and tell him how she had screwed up by choosing Jesse and not to just go with the person he had the most chemistry with. So all of a sudden, he was choosing Melissa, which I found shocking. I wasn't at all surprised when things turned out the way they did. Molly was so clearly the one for him, and I'm sure the show loved the shock value of what happened. I don't know if that's what they were hoping for, but they certainly didn't care at all about what they put Jason and Molly (or Deanna, for that matter) through in order to get that scene of Jason on the balcony and, even better, the After the Final Rose drama.

She laughed at the thought, he was stalking her..she seems much more level headed and aware in their interviews..so I'm going to wish them luck and happiness, and if it doesn't work out( like most of them) they tried..

He does get credit for trying - for not giving up without giving it everything he had. She gets a boatload of credit for going so slowly - given the edit we were shown. She has not moved in with him and seems reluctant to be tied down to say when. It is Colton saying they are going to buy a house and move in when they get engaged or married. Again, she is slow about getting engaged or committing to talking about a time to get married, only saying they talk about all of it. I think she is being wise about all of it. Let this first year with all of the speaking engagements, etc., pass. She needs to finish her Master's Degree, and they need to let the new wear off. Where do they stand at that point? The history of this show has not been kind to the Bachelors...more so to the Bachelorettes.

The history of this show has not been kind to the Bachelors...more so to the Bachelorettes. They need to go through what all the TV couples have to go through. One interview they mentioned being engaged and waiting, and Cassie said , not too long! I'm reminded Arie stalked Emily, going to her home, when the camera weren't on!.. They have both moved on..

I loved Colton's season alternative ending and looking like we'll have a 4th Bachelor seasons resulting in marriage.
Hannah B has personality and the girl isn't milk toast ... happy she is TPTB's selection!

I'm so glad the season is over. I always feel this way whether the season/bachelor/bachelorette is interesting or not. I feel free from watching every week.

Ok. I have to watch the bachelorette now. My hubby is friends with one of the contestant’s mom: “Connor Jenkins: 28, Newport Beach, CA. His mother is Nancy Loo, a TV reporter for WGN in Chicago, who apparently is known for the phrase, “Don’t be stupid.”” Nancy and my hubby went to college together ar the University of Oregon. I haven’t meet her or her husband (Brian Jenkins formerly of CNN), but I met her parents at their restaurant. Really nice people. www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/tv/ct-ent-bachelorette-connor-jenkins-nancy-loo-20190315-story.html
