Lindsay and Catherine on The Bachelor Season 17 finale

 

by Gina Scarpa

 

I woke up this morning, still in shock from what I witnessed on last night's season finale of The Bachelor. I've replayed the entire season over in my head, asking what I missed, where I went wrong. A few weeks ago, when Sean abruptly ended his relationship with AshLee, I speculated that he felt it would be easier to let Catherine down in the end because she was a stronger person and they were lacking that emotional connection that he had with other women. Once Des and AshLee were out of the picture, there was no doubt in my mind that he was going to pick sweet and silly Lindsay. And yet, a little after 10pm, Sean got down on one knee after professing his love for Catherine. Sure, they seem happy and in love, but how did I miss it all?

 

It could be that Catherine chose to keep her feelings almost as hidden as Sean did throughout the season. It wasn't until the finale where we really started to see her emotions come pouring out. After her final one on one date in Thailand, she threw herself down on the bed and sobbed, afraid of what would happen at that final rose ceremony. Fortunately for her, she wasn't the one that had to suffer the embarrassment of getting dumped on national television. No, that became Lindsay's reality and can we all just agree that she may just be the classiest person on the planet? The rejected one never seems to handle it too well and when Sean told her she wasn't the one, I was expecting her to go all Ben Flajnik on him. Instead, she smiled through her tears, wished him the best, and saved her meltdown for the limo ride back to the hotel. Even on the After The Final Rose, despite not getting her questions answered for the closure she needed, she still had nothing but good things to say to and about Sean. Why isn't she The Bachelorette?!

 

Speaking of, Chris Harrison confirmed the rumors last night and announced that Desiree is our new Bachelorette. Filming gets underway this month with the show airing on ABC this summer. Des is so excited to meet her 25 suitors that she couldn't contain her emotions and said how grateful she felt for the opportunity to find her true love. Sure, it's cheesy but you can't help but root for the girl. I don't care what Sean says. He totally ended things because of the way her brother acted during hometowns. If that scares someone off, they're not for you anyway. Bring on the men for Des!

 

So you tell me: Did you predict that Sean would pick Catherine or are you as shocked as I was? Do you think they're rushing into getting married? Of course, ABC is thrilled to be able to air it, considering their relationship track record between The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I'll be tuning in, of course!
