This is the 20th anniversary of the Bachelor. Who knew.
More of Joey crying on the beach. More Jesse trying to pump this up as the most dramatic final...EVER!
Shirtless Joey on the beach reliving his journey with Kelsey and Daisy. Usual filler. Still fears abandonment, but can't wait for the ladies to meet his family.
Kelsey is goofy, fun, kind and everything he wanted in a women. He sees what true love and happiness could look like.
Daisy is always positive. He doesn't doubt that life with her would be fun and exciting and beautiful.
Maybe it's me, but he only mentions love with Kelsey. Also more personal compliments, whereas Daisy's are more generic. Of course, it could be editing.
Joey sees his family and describes the ladies. They are excited because he has never been like this with other women. He hasn't told anyone he loves them, but feels guilty because he is asking them to give so much and then, he will have to take it away from one.
Daisy is first and commercial.

Noooo, I don't want it to end!! He's just my favorite of all time, and I will miss seeing Joey on my TV every week.

Daisy knows how to make a good impression with the family, for sure.

Lots of familiar faces in the audience: Dotun and Charity are nice to see! Gabby's girlfriend ... I'm sorry, but I thought that was a little old woman sitting next to her. I *really* hope they won't announce Maria as the next Bachelorette tonight. Joey's family seems so nice. His sisters are sweet and very pretty! Joey was sure lucky, getting his mom's pretty green eyes.

Oh lawd. Gerry's all teary eyed in the audience too. He's such a soft-hearted thing.

Daisy explains how they met and how lovely Joey was about her implant and she knows it is because of the people who shaped him. His sister is crying. So is mom.
Sisters are talking to Daisy. She admits she is IL with him and if he proposes she would say yes. More tears from the sisters. She is still scared because she knows there is still someone else. They are happy and think she is sweet and they are compatible. He fears because he thinks she is still holding back, but sisters are reassuring. She knows that no matter what happens, two people will be heartbroken...obviously the person, but also him because he will hate breaking someone's heart.
Next Daisy is talking to mom. She is scared, but thinks he is worth it. Golden Bachelor is in the audience and tearing up. Everyone is tearing up...me included. Mom likes her too. Everyone likes her. This was a great meet the parents. Love fest all around. Meeting his family, she understands why he is the way he is.
His family is also in the audience and mom is tearing up. Awe. This will be a tough one. I really like both F2. He can't really go wrong, but he will pick the one that makes his heart sing more. I hope the runner up is the next Bette!!!...and not Maria who apparently is in the audience.

Uh oh. Kelsey says she doesn't have to get married immediately, while Daisy wants to get married now. They'll spin this into a problem.

Maria could never be this gracious. They're making a mistake if they make her the next Bette.

Kelsey comes home and explains how they met and tells them about her mom. More crying all around.
Sisters pull her for a chat. She is very open about how much she loves Joey and she wants him to be happy. She is ready if Joey proposes, but she doesn't have a timeline for marriage. This sets up red flags for sisters who thinks she might have more doubts. Naturally we must have doubt in one of them. The fact that this is the one they are editing to show doubt, makes me naturally think it doesn't play out that way.
Dad is now talking to Kelsey. He asks if she is ready to get married. She is all in, but she understands that Daisy is wonderful and if it isn't her, Kelsey knows he will be very happy with Daisy. More tears.
Mom is happy that Kelsey really feels for Joey and she tells her how Joey thought about Charity picking Dotun. He knew they had a special connection, but it Charity picked someone else, she must have an even greater connection.
Joey is thinking the women deserve for him to be fully sure and he needs to figure out who he can't live without!
Darn, shot of Maria in the audience with one of the sisters. Stop ruining it for me!!!

Oof. Daisy didn't like what Joey said for his "wish."

More advertising of the latest Bachelor podcast with Susan and Kathy. Seriously. Enough already.
Joey is meeting up with Daisy for their last chance date. She is tearing up about wanting him in her life. They are meeting up with a spiritual advisor. She loves this stuff where they are cleansed. She is looking for validation, because he is trying to balance both relationships. She is getting in her head and she wants to tell him she loves him, but it hurts because he may not be sure of her.
They make wishes and toss them to the fire. He wants both of them to find true happiness...which sets her off...because he wants her to be happy even if it isn't with him. Everything feels heavy. He may love her, but still not want her.
Well, this took a quick turn.

I can't stand the stupid audience reaction shots. Just stop.
Daisy finally drops the love bomb on him.

Oof. Daisy didn't like what Joey said for his "wish." I didn't either. I felt for her -- it was too vague.

Evening portion. Daisy says the day made her think it isn't her, but she is going to chose to think it is this evening. She says she can't imagine being in his position...sign she may be next Bette??? Nobody has handled his position with such kindness. You never know when love will come into your life and she tells him she loves him and she will always support him. (Shades of what Joey said to Charity.). She feels she isn't getting any validation from him. He keeps saying it's not just the right decision, but the right decision for him and how much he will hurt someone. Again...a downer. He isn't talking about a future with them, but he is being very careful about what he says. He looks sad and so does she.
He keeps saying to the camera that it is so special hearing Daisy say ILY, but he looks sick to his stomach. I don't think this will end well and she says if she is being honest, she doesn't think it is her! Well, that is a first.

He's definitely being vague and noncommittal with Daisy. And she can feel it.

Was that pool green or do I need to adjust my TV? Look at how he looks at Kelsey...

PLEASE make Daisy the next lead, if she's not picked!!!! Kelsey comes off a little less mature than Joey (and Daisy), like this is all fun for her and seeing her future with him seems too fantastical. Poor Daisy is really feeling down.

Kelsey and Joey go for foot scrubs and facials. He does look like a serial killer with that mask. Then they give each other a massage. He looks more relaxed here.
Meanwhile Daisy is thinking that this is Kelsey's last date with Joey and she has given it her all, but she is stressed.
Look at that smile from Joey. Way happier than he was with Daisy. He was asking about her meeting with his family. She explains her thought process. He is much more reassuring with Kelsey. Much more! He is also much happier when she tells him how she pictures their life...big smile, kiss. No carefully diplomatic words of reassurance needed for her. He is still worried that he will have to hurt someone.
We see Charity and Dotun...and there is bloody Maria again. Enough with her!

Poor Daisy is really feeling down. I don't think I agree with you regarding the bolded. I just think she is overwhelmed with her own feelings. She loves him, but knows Daisy is still there. Apparently they are good friends, so she feel for her friend too. She wants it to be her, but then feels guilty because of Daisy. It's like people who laugh when they are nervous. I get it. Totally agree with the first part...Make Daisy the lead!!!

^Maybe it's her silliness that makes me think that.
ETA: her happy silliness, not that she's being goofy or weird.

Ring picking time! He picks a nice one.
I think Daisy's about to get her heart broken.

Here comes the final montages of the ladies getting ready and Joey picking a ring with Neil Lane.
Kelsey is dressed and nervous. Nice dress.
Daisy is anxious and thinks that Joey was trying to prepare her for today...oh...not me. She looks sick to her stomach. Not loving that dress on her. She knows what she needs to do and she is knocking on a door and Joey goes for the door. Pikachu faces in the audience.
I'm guessing this is the drama...never been done before.

Daisy goes to talk to...Kelsey. She says something was "off" and she got no validation from Joey. Is she trying to talk herself into leaving?

Here we go. The money shot.
Daisy goes to see Kelsey. They are both in tears as they hug.
Kelsey doesn't understand what is going. Daisy asks how the family M&G went and then the LCD. Kelsey says there was validation from Joey, but Daisy knows there wasn't for her. Kelsey says she loves Joey, which is hurting Daisy. She is thinking of walking away, but what if she is wrong? OMG. Stop with the commercials. Get on with it.

So. Many. ADS.
Why must they drag over every potted plant in a two mile radius to plop onto the final rose platform? Less is more, people.
