The Final Rose

So, I watched the final episode of The Bachelor, and can I just say that it was the most boring episode ever? Did anyone really think that he wasn't going to pick Sarah? Heck, Chris Harrison spilled the beans before the show even aired. By the way, I know that the contestants can be fined like a million dollars for letting the cat out of the bag, so what happens to Host boy? Does he have to cough up the big bucks for telling Kristin Veitch that he couldn't believe they went all the way to Paris for Travis to pick a woman who lived like 3 blocks away?

Seriously, did anyone believe that Travis would pick Moana the mysterious, the woman who's emotional baggage could fill a Louis Vuitton trunk, despite their chemistry, over cute and perky non-threatening Sarah? Who would be a less demanding doctor's wife? Moana was just way too emotional for Travis. I felt for the girl though when he put her back in the limo.

I learned two things from watching The Bachelor last night:

1) Moana cooked for meals for the women in the house and they turned around and treated her like Typhoid Mary because Travis liked her. After she fed them! Personally, I would have let the heifers starve.

2) If I had drunk a shot every time Sarah said that she and Travis were perfect for each other or mentioned 'Nashville' I would have passed out before the end of the show.

And what was up with the ring on a chain? Why bother at all? It's just taunting her, this ring could be yours if this relationship works out. I hope they at least let them keep the Escada dresses they wore.

I can't help remembering Byron's proposal to Mary Delgado in Spanish, so that her parents could understand how he felt about her. It was so romantic. Dr. Dork looked like he was asking Sarah to the prom or to go steady with him.

I just don't quite get why Travis is so perfect for her besides being geographically desirable. Any conversation that they showed was all about how they lived in Nashville. Is that what makes them compatible?

That's like my saying that because Ralph Fiennes has his moon in Scorpio and I'm a Scorpio, we should be together because Carl Jung says that's the most desirable combination in a couple. Like Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman each have their moons in their partners sign, and they've been married since the dawn of time. So, I should what? stake out the stage door of the theater where Ralph Fiennes is playing to convince him of our compatability?

Moana, honey, you deserve better than Travis. You are the apple on top of the tree, and Travis is not man enough to climb up and claim you. Don't let this get you down. Be proud that you now know that you can fall in love, and that you took a risk. So many people live their lives playing it safe.

You are a winner!
