Often, the editing will try to tell us things. I am going throw in what I think the editing is showing us which may or may not be true in real life. Becca told Blake that she thought he "stayed in his head too much," and that might cause problems when they had children, etc. I think the implication was he would stew and fret too much when he needed to just act or something. We saw Becca's uncle questioning Garrett closely about his short-lived marriage. How did it happen that it was only 2 months? What he could he do ( might have done) differently? The implication was that Garrett is perhaps impulsive sometimes. If the two of them had spent time or more time with his family before marrying, would this dynamic ( whatever is wrong between ex-wife and family) have shown up or at least been hinted at. It is very likely, in my opinion. If so, it may or may not could have been worked out before the marriage. If not, maybe they didn't marry. It was obvious that Garrett is extremely close to his family - much in the same manner as Becca is to hers. We did see Blake stew and "be in his head". That was pretty clear. We also did see fairly happy go lucky Garrett not appear to think very deeply about things, and it would not take much of a leap to see how he could act impulsively to his detriment such as clicking away without even bothering to real think it through. I don't think for a moment that he would really agree with throwing - throwing?? - any child over a wall several feet high, child abuse. We all have imperfections, and these are things if true both Blake and Garrett have to work on as they mature. I can't recall where I heard or read it, but there was some speculation that there was some religious reasoning that went into her choice. Maybe that her faith was very important to her and she wanted her husband to share that with her? I suppose the show didn't show us, to avoid portraying one of the guys in a way that might not be fair. (Wait, this show?? What am I talking about??! LOL) This makes perfect sense to me. For some reason this show always avoids any discussion of Religious matters. That is, unless they send them to a Religious shrine on a date. I can only remember 2 of them mentioning it: Obviously Sean's season, since it's such an important part of his life & who he is. And Emily's season. She mentioned it was important, but then the show avoided showing us any discussion of it with the guys. Why they (TPTB) do this is completely beyond me. Religion is something that factors into darned near every relationship, even if it's the absence of it in their lives. People have to be on the same page, whatever that page is. I'd love to hear these kinds of discussions (Religion, Finances, Career demands, Opinions on serious issues, etc.) rather than the air headed things they show. It might show us why the lead thinks so and so is a good match.

I think Blake is more her equal, Garrett is way too simple imho I know I am WAY late to the party....Mr. Fang and I have been on vacation but got home in time to catch most of the finale. I kinda knew she was going to pick Garrett. Her face lit up in a way around him that didn't when she was with Blake. I was okay with both of these guys being the F2, but was leaning more towards Blake. More stable, masculine and articulate. And that adorable smile .There is simply "more" substance with Blake. So...I'm wondering how fast Becca is going to get bored with Garrett and wish she'd picked Blake?

Really? I don't see it
Garrett's too goofy for my tastes (and probably not very bright, although that's most of them), but Blake isn't interesting to me either. Too immature. Really, it's not my choice; it's Becca's, which is the point of the show. I don't watch it thinking they're going to get married and be together forever. Odds are, they won't even make it to the altar. It's entertainment. I don't feel sorry for any of them if there's a break-up, because they signed up for it. You picked a serious photo of Arquette and a smiling one of Garrett. Yes I did. But it doesn't matter. IMO, they still look nothing alike. DA smiling doesn't make a difference. Just two guys with dark hair and eyes.

That's interesting, Navybelle, about possible religious commonalities.

I suppose the show didn't show us, to avoid portraying one of the guys in a way that might not be fair. (Wait, this show?? What am I talking about??! LOL) The show has never wanted to get into either politics or religion - ostensibly because they are either/or boring /controversial depending on the circumstances. At the same time, when specifically asked, the spokesperson would acknowledge that the lead has time off camera with the contestants to discuss these kinds of subjects, especially if desired - and I sure hope they do! That said, nevertheless, during Rachel's season we saw very ugly political/social issues with Lee very clearly come into play in a huge way. Again, although they weren't addressed on the show itself this season- they were able to control that much - nevertheless, we saw extremely hot, controversial issues come into play, not once but twice. Now...to address the religion issue and what I could find - by Googling, I was able to locate an article discussing Becca's tattoos and what they mean. She has 4 or so. The writer of the article focused on the 2 she knew about. Uncle Gary is a Church Pastor. He told Arie on the Hometown that Becca is a Christian, and her faith is important to her. He asked Arie would he willing to go to Church with Becca? Becca has a cross on her hand, and a Bible verse from Psalms on her wrist which says, "Lead me to the Rock when I am overwhelmed." Although the editing did not show it, I can not imagine a Pastor letting go of the opportunity to question BOTH of them about their spiritual way of thinking. That is just the way of it! Again, that said - I couldn't find anything on either Garrett's or Blake's religion.

In those smiling photos, I totally see it! So viewers, did Becca and Garrett run the talk show circuit and if so, how did they seem? Is either of them moving so that they can be closer?

Well, they both have teeth..... Yeah, zero resemblance for me. Maybe same hair and eye color and they're both male. That's it.

Look harder! Same tight haircut and same hair coloring. Same wide forehead and same pointed chin; they both have heart-shaped faces. Same straight eyebrows. Similar eyes and, as you mentioned, same color. Even their ears are tucked to their heads the very same way. And they both have chipmunk cheeks (I mean no disrespect to the all the chipmunks out there) and five o'clock shadows!

Okay, I guess you're right and I'm wrong. I hate for you to go to any more trouble looking for photos. For me, it's more than just physical resemblance, as I stated above.

I think their eyes are so much different. DA's eyes are so much closer set than Garrett's. Way different noses, too.

It'a not about right or wrong. You expressed an opinion and my opinion is that I don't see it. Similar personality is one thing. Yes, they're both goofy. I just don't see any physical resemblance. Hence, the pics. Really, I posted them the first time to make sure you were actually thinking of David Arquette and not someone else because, to me, they don't look a thing alike. We really do not need to keep discussing this as it's sort of a non-issue. I hope to never see Garrett on my TV ever again!

But I thought there was one lead who was very religious and I kind of remember some talks at home towns about faith. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it sounds familiar - maybe Sean? JoJo? Anyone else recall this?

I think it was Sean, and you're right, the couples do talk about religion, it's something we are not shown..

It was just an offhand comment. I'm entitled to my opinion, and Garrett reminds me of David Arquette. I don't particularly think Chris looks like Ben Stiller, but nobody got criticized for saying so.
