This is it. After almost two months of heartbreak, tears, and lots of drama, Bachelor Ben Higgins is finally going to choose who he is going to marry. Will it be Jojo or Lauren B.?
For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past 20 years, The Bachelor is a show about 24 women who battle it out for one guy -- kind of like the Hunger Games, but with more alcohol. Tonight, Ben will not only choose his wife -- he'll also be breaking another girl's heart (and possibly mine!)
1. It’s starting! Better get my tissues ready.
2. Oh look Chris Harris -- this is the most I’ve heard him talk all season!
3. Wait--they’re getting married on stage? In front of a live audience? If that isn’t romantic I don’t know what is--
4. If I got a dollar for every time Ben says that he fell in love with two girls I would be a millionaire.
5. Momma Higgins is the only honest one on this show!
6. Aw look how happy he is to see Lauren! He’s definitely going to pick her!
7. Jojos turn! Wait--he looks happy to see her too -- maybe he’s going to choose her?
8. Yes Ben, you have to choose between two women that you love. This is The Bachelor -- that’s the point.
9. Lauren: “I can tell that something is bothering him” -- hmmm. I wonder what it is?!
10. I want to go on the Bachelor just so that I can travel to all these cool places.
11. OMG Ben just told Jojo that he told Lauren he loved her too!
12. No Neil Lane, Ben has no idea who he is going to propose to later.
13. If it's this hard for me to choose, I wonder how hard it is for Ben!
14. Oh wait. He just had a revelation -- he’s chosen the ring (and the girl!)
15. That ring is perfect for Jojo -- I mean Lauren -- I mean Jojo
16. This must be the worst helicopter ride of these girls lives.
17. I can’t decide who I want to step out of that helicopter -- Can't Ben just marry them both?
18. Oh no Jojo! Poor girl, she is so sure that he is going to propose.
19. Ben is just making a fool of himself.
20. You’re not making things better Ben: stop talking.
21. Watching this makes me realize why I hate this show!
22. I just want to give Jojo a hug -- and slap Ben.
23. Look at Ben being a gentleman and asking Lauren's dad for her hand in marriage -- what would he have done if her dad said no?
24. Ben is proposing -- Here come the tears!
25. "Lauren, will you accept this final rose?" " I thought you'd never ask!" Aw!
And now we're back to the after the Final Rose live show. We get to watch Jojo and Ben come face to face for the first time since that day (poor Jojo having to watch that all on screen!), the happy couple's first public appearance, and the biggest reveal of all: Jojo is going to be the next Bachelorette (ah!) Oh and don't worry -- Ben and Lauren decided not to get married in front of the live audience... they thought that maybe they should spend some time dating, like normal people!
And that wraps up season 20 of The Bachelor. Congratulations to Ben and Lauren, and don’t worry, only 66 days left until The Bachelorette!
