I agree with who she picked -- it seemed like the right decision for her.

Did anyone else remember seeing previews (I thought it was after the rose) of Chris acting hurt or betrayed by Ali and she getting mad back at him? Both DH and I saw it -- but never saw it in the after the final rose show.

Can someone spoil the ending for me, perhaps pm me. I have moved to the middle of no where and cant open videos, so I have to go to the library to watch, and dh is out of town with the car for the week. I can't wait that long...

Hmm, pretty good ending. I knew it would be him. I guessed it from the beginning. I'm probably completely fooled, but to me it seemed real...realer than some of the other times, anyway, and I hope it is and it lasts!

Ali picked Roberto, and he proposed.

All the promos were cut to make us think that she picked one, but that he didn't pick her back. They kept saying "this never happened before!" and "who will Ali bring to GMA? Roberto? Chris? Or will she be ALOOOONE????"

What the "this never happened" thing was, Ali had her final date with Roberto and it went well, then when she arrived at Chris's tikihut for their final date, she was a bundle of nerves and Chris (who was previously very comfortable and confident with her family) immediately caught on that something was bad. She broke up with him, told him that she loved 'someone else' the day before the Final Rose Ceremony, just to save him that pain. Personally, it was AWFUL to watch!!! So awkward, so raw!!!! I felt sick to my stomach, really, and was still hoping that maybe the 'someone else' she was in love with was Frank and that she was going to break up with Roberto too, but not so.

When she was walking back to her hut there was a giant rainbow over the lagoon, it was portrayed as Chris's "look for me in rainbows" mother, which I guess means Chris will be ok. At first I thought it was a feign-bow, it looked fake to me and waaaaay too convenient, but DH believed it was real and then when they talked about it on After the Final Rose, I believed it more.

Frank skipped out on his After the Final Rose appearance. Shocker. However, if I were Frank's gf, I'd be like "you ain't goin' back on that show!!!" so maybe that happened, but he should have never committed to the appearance in the first place if he was just going to flake out yet again.

It wasn't until late into the ATFR episode that I could really see Ali and Roberto together. I can't deny that getting the First Impression rose is huge, and considering he's the one she had the Lion King stunt with, it's almost like they told her to pick the one she was leaning towards so they could wrap the series up with a big Disney bang with "Can you feel the love tonight," which was so cheezy I wanted to throw up cheez. They DID seem happy and she DID seem confident in his commitment to her, I will wish them the best! (I still don't see why a 26 yo hunk ball player would genuinely be love-starved and looking for it on tv, but whatever.)

One thing that freaked me out was...during the whole awwwwfullllll breakup scene (for me that was 10x worse than Melissa and Jason), the ever romantic and emotional and over-the-moon-in-love Chris's eyes never welled up. You could see in his eyes he was traumatized, but where were the tears? Whenever he broke down into his hands, they never showed him lift his face back up to see tears. When they showed him after she left, there was no redness or puffiness near his eyes and his voice was as solid as ever. I don't know what to make of that! My DH says that he was being 'a man' and keeping it in, which is completely possible, but I felt something more was going on, that either it was all fake (please don't let it be so! ) or that he had cried all his tears for his mother and there were none left, not for any woman.

His feeble posture on ATFR made me want to crawl into my easy chair! And when Ali kept giving him puppy-dog sorry looks, it was the only time I really wanted to punch her and tell her to STOP!

I foolishly read Reality Steve earlier in the season so I knew what Chris's outcome would be, but I never told DH. The way the family date went with Ali's family ended, with them on the docks, my DH said that he knew that Chris was getting kicked to the curb, I asked him how he knew, and he said she was giving all the unspoken cues that she's not gonna let him in. Knowing my hubby for 10 years, and knowing how much he can't stand the show and only watches it sometimes and ONLY because I do, I was shocked that he picked up on that, because I thought she played it well (if playing it well means she's not supposed to let on who she's choosing/not choosing.)

Now I'm really embarrassed that I have so much to say about this show! Bring on the Bachelor Pad, though...looks hysterical (and DH thinks it's much more his style. )

So what cues did he pick up on at the family visit? Cuz I could not tell at all what she was thinking after those dates. However, I have always thought she would not pick Chris b/c you could just tell the chemistry wasn't all there, and it was with Roberto.

Yeah, I did think that was weird that Chris was not more tearful or traumatized at the breakup. Almost like he had already heard the news and wasn't shocked or was expecting it.

I will be watching Bachelor Pad, but i confess, it looks a bit too trashy and over the top for me! It almost makes it obvious that the people going on the show are just trying to milk their 15 minutes, and I like to stay in my little bubble and convince myself that it's all REAL!

YES!!! I was super curious about that too!!! It showed Ali basically yelling "THAT is NOT true!" in a really upset voice...I wonder wtf it was about and why it wasn't actually shown despite being in the preview!!!

I think it was really subtle, but on the dock she kept the convo a bit platonic, his advances were met with civility, there was no down-n-dirty making out and no princess romance either, it was her controlling the situation, not being coy, not letting him in.

I too wondered if they already told Chris, just to bolster him a bit before she got there. I liked him the whole time because he never seemed to succumb to jealousy or Frankish neurotic behavior...he was always "one of the guys" and totally romantic, bottom line is he's a good catch for someone out there.

I'm in complete agreement. On one hand, I love that these people are coming back, but on the other hand...the total 15 mins thing, at any cost, yuck. It looks like that teasy Elizabeth girl from Jake's season is going to be a handful!

I didn't catch that promo fight, now I'm dyyyying to!!!! I wonder what the deal is!

I just YouTubed the Jimmy Kimmel show with Ali and Roberto - when did it air, last night I guess?

They are super cute together and I couldn't help smiling as I watched them. I hope they last!
