Married at First Sight Finale: Did Your Favorite Couple Stay Together?

And that’s all she wrote for another season of Married at First.

The Lifetime reality series concluded its latest examination of husbands and wives who barely know each other on Tuesday night, as many viewers tuned in to find out which twosomes would stay together…

… and which would finally realize, What the heck was I thinking marrying someone I only just met?!?

Let’s begin our finale recap with a look Dave Flaherty and Amber Martorana, shall we?

Amber very much aware of Dave’s apprehensiveness and hesitation about the future, which, naturally, only made her even more insecure.

However, she soon realized that she spent a lot of time focusing on Dave’s feelings rather than her own. Perhaps it was time for a self-examination, you know?

Forget what Dave was thinking, she reasoned and wondered.

“What if there’s someone better for me?” Amber said. “I haven’t really stopped to think ‘What do I really want? Is this marriage right for me?’”

In the end, the answer was yes to this final question.

She and Dave surprisingly chose to remain together and ended their storyline looking forward to having more time to work on their union.

But what about Bobby Dodd and Danielle Bergman? Well…

We mean, do we even need to say it?

The most predictable couple on the show never fought and were totally obsessed with each other during the entire process. It was both adorable and sort of sickening to watch.

Only one thing was holding them back overall and that Danielle’s inability to tell Bobby that she loved him.

“I’ve told Danielle time and time again how much I love her,” Bobby said. “The only thing I really need to hear is Danielle say that she loves me. It’s just something I always thought I would have by now.”

Right?!?

Especially considering how smoothly the marriage has gone.

When decision day arrived, Bobby did all he could to make Danielle happy and secure, even getting down on one knee, pulling out a ring and pouring his heart out to her.

“These eight weeks have been the absolute best eight weeks of my life,” he said. “I’m just glad that I got you. Ultimately, I want you to know that I chose you.”

Did it work? Did she reply with the L Bomb?

YES!

“I feel like I got a best friend and I’m completely head over heels in love with you,” Danielle said.

Finally, we get to Tristan Thompson and Mia Balley…

These two went through more than any other couple on the show, that’s for certain.

If you’ll recall, he kicked her out of the house… she threatened him with divorce … we learned that Mia was once arrested for stalking.

So it wasn’t exactly a shock that, going into decision day, both sides were apprehensive and confused about what to do.

“It’s a lot more downs than been ups,” Tristan said. “I care for her … but with everything that’s happened, we still have a lot of work to do.”

Incredibly, the two somehow chose to remain together and give their relationship another shot — on air, at least.

The finale was filmed many months ago, remember.

In September, long after shooting wrapped, Mia filed for divorce.

It’s probably for the best, don’t you think?

Alaskan Bush People Finale Trailer Teases Fire, Ami"s Health, and a Wedding!

In real time, Matt Brown has checked into rehab. That is a brave and smart decision. On television, the Browns have other concerns.

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 has scarcely begun … but it is almost over. This season ends on Sunday.

But we have the season finale promo trailer for you, promising danger, medical news, and a wedding.

The official Twitter account for Discovery"s Alaskan Bush People tweeted this promo for the season finale.

"We"re not ready to say goodbye," the tweet laments.

No one is — like we said, we"re only a few episodes into the season.

"Join us for the season finale," the tweet invites fans and followers. "Sunday at 9p on Discovery and Discovery GO."

Time passes so quickly these days.

Within the promo trailer itself, the family faces a new menace as they battle the elements in Washington.

"We"ve had floods," Gabe lists.

Gabe continues, saying: "We"ve had road issues."

"And now," he laments. "Fire."

"The fire seems very serious," viewers hear.

"I"ve never seen that much smoke," Bird confesses.

Those of us who have been around massive wildfires can attest — it"s a unique experience. And it is not a fun one.

Bird explains: "The fires are just that close."

Watching the trailer, fans can see that for themselves.

We just hope that Ami Brown was in California. That much smoke is not good for a lung cancer patient.

Speaking of Ami, the finale shows her return from her checkup.

"How"d it go?" the family asks.

"We finally got the results in," Billy begins.

His voice sounds a little uneasy. Whether it"s genuine emotion or played up for the cameras (or both) is difficult to say.

"Everything is, uh …" Billy continues.

Naturally, this is a teaser trailer., so his words cut off there.

Fans do not get to hear those results until they watch the episode.

That said, Ami"s cancer was reportedly in remission as of last July.

We expect that they"ll deliver good news after the show plays up the tension.

Ami"s health is not the only (hopefully) good news to which viewers will be treated.

"And a new Brown joins the family," one of the trailer"s internal cards teases.

We know, of course, that Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha back in August.

At the time, we had hoped that viewers would get to see this special occasion. Clearly, they will.

Additionally, that card"s phrasing — referring to Rhain as another Brown — is further confirmation that Rhain will take Noah"s last name.

Hopefully, that will lay those nastily persistent fan rumors to rest.

Not every family, even on reality television, has to be consumed by feuding just because that is more entertaining to viewers.

We look forward to the finale — and to even more of the Brown family.

Bachelor in Paradise Finale Marred by Stunning Cheating Scandal

On the Bachelor in Paradise season finale Tuesday night, Jordan Kimball got down on one knee and proposed to Jenna Cooper.

It was a beautiful moment, as you can see here:

But the proposal, the acceptance, the finale and possibly the entire relationship has now been marred by an explosive allegation:

Has Jenna been cheating on Jordan?

Indeed, the same day ABC aired footage of Jordan and Jenna agreeing to marry and asking Chris Harrison to officiate their June 2019 wedding, Reality Steve shared text messages between Jenna and the man with whom she has allegedly been sleeping.

Reality Steve, as you may know, is the Internet’s leading purveyor of Bachelor spoilers and Bachelorette spoilers.

The man has his connection. He knows his stuff.

According to Steve, Jenna has been cheating on Jordan all summer with an unnamed man that she met prior to Bachelor in Paradise filming.

A professional relationship between the two, during which they teamed up for a failed business venture, eventually turned intimate.

This is an exchange Steve alleges took place just this past weekend:

In another exchange published by Steve, Jenna apologizes for her actions on an episode and tells this lover that she’s only on the show for her “business.”

There’s also this semi-graphic back and forth:

Yikes, right?

Poor Jordan, right?

This is what he told People Magazine about the depressing development:

“I’m weak in the knees and I feel like I have rocks in my stomach.”

Did Jenna actually cheat, though?

No, she tells this same publication in a statement:

“I am aware of the allegations being made against me and they are simply untrue. I am choosing to focus on my relationship right now. Thank you for respecting my privacy at this time.”

We aren’t exactly doing that.

We’re a celebrity gossip website and it’s our job to discuss allegations of this nature.

All we can do is share the information we’ve received or we’ve seen, however. We cannot verify the above text messages with 100% certainty.

Kimball says he has spoken to Cooper since this story broke — and that he believes the cheating charge to be true.

“I know my Jenna, and I read those texts and in my heart, I know it’s her,” he says, adding to People:

“She was saying she didn’t do it, but hinting towards the fact that there’s a possibility that it happened. In all reality, I don’t expect her to own it.”

Jordan also says the two were planning an engagement party next month in North Carolina. His parents were planning to attend and everything.

What now?

He can’t say for sure.

But Jordan denies all assertions that the couple faked anything for the camera (“This was not a TV romance. This was real. And whether you like me or not, I deserve love.”) and admits his universe has been rocked by this scandal:

I don’t know how to handle this. All I know is I obviously only knew a limited amount of information about Jenna. This is embarrassing and it hurts my pride. And our friendship is just tarnished.

I don’t even know what piece to pick up or how to put it back.

The Bachelorette Finale Recap: Who Did Becca Kufrin Choose?

The Bachelorette just aired an iconic 14th season finale, and we can confirm what The Bachelorette spoilers foretold months ago:

Becca Kufrin is engaged!! But to whom?

Viewers have waited all summer (whether you read Bachelorette spoilers or not) to see how this thing ends for beautiful, sweet Becca.

For Garrett Yrigoyen and Blake Horstmann, this is what they’ve fought for: To be the last man standing, holding a Neil Lane ring.

After what was, by and large, a fairly conventional season, might an epic twist still be in the works, After the Final Rose style?

To channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment … this was NOT the most anticipated, controversial finale in Bachelorette history.

But it wasn’t half bad.

The beautiful Minnesotan spent 11 weeks paring down 25 suitors to just two. The two handsome men standing before her this evening.

So would she give the final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen, the once-divorced, instant frontrunner with the shady Instagram history?

Or would it go to Blake Horstmann, who has emerged as the dark Horst (sorry) over the past couple of episodes especially?

Both gentlemen met her family as Becca struggled with what could be the most difficult, consequential decision of her life.

Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially after what happened with Arie?

So which guy got the rose? And Becca said all along that she got engaged, but has it lasted? Is she still engaged right now?

Man alive, The Bachelorette producers sure can cut a slick finale, keeping us guessing and methodically ratcheting up the drama.

In the end, though, they can only do their best with the material Becca gives them, and there was no major shocker in store:

Becca Kufrin is engaged to Garrett Yrigoven.

Yes, the first impression rose recipient many weeks ago is now Becca’s fiance, having proposed (she said yes) at the end of the night.

That doesn’t mean he was a lock, though.

The finale focused hardcore on Becca’s “second thoughts” (again, those producers are good) and Blake really bringing his A-game.

Maybe it was editing, or maybe it was just his feelings and their chemistry peaking at the right time, but Horstmann made it a contest.

Just when you thought no one could match Garrett’s connection with Becca – and Becca’s family – Blake came awfully darn close.

His final date, capped off by that amazing scrapbook, seemed to push Becca over the edge … or at least right up to the edge.

Not unlike his competition, he started to look like a 50-50 partner, the kind she’s been dreaming of, and hoping he would be.

As such, she was 50-50 when it came to the two guys, or so it seemed. Sadly, there could be only one, and Blake lost out.

Rough. Holy cow that was … wow.

That’s all we can say about that Blake breakup. Yeesh. It’s never easy to watch that sort of thing, but this one was super bad.

He got through that whole speech and everything. She just stood there, Gone are the days when the show lets them off easy, apparently.

Say what you will about reality shows, the pain on Blake’s face was pretty real, and Becca’s too for that matter. That was just painful.

Guy was legit trembling out there.

Even on the LIVE After the Final Rose special, it wasn’t much better. From the look on Blake’s face, you’d think it had just happened.

That’s love. That’s love.

Ronnie Goes at Mike in EPIC Jersey Shore Finale Fight

On the season finale of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Mike told Ronnie that he thought his friend should go to rehab.

And Ronnie replied no, no, no.

No, really. Amy Winehouse references aside, this intense argument was at the center of an explosive concluding episodes.

(Not concluding forever, mind you. Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2 will premiere in August.)

This is how it all started:

While having dinner with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Pauly D, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino and Deena Cortese, Ronnie confessed to getting “crazy” when he goes out. 

However, he maintained this partying never really affected his life

Heck, he was even “blessed [that] Sam didn’t come” for the season so that his roommates could at last see Ronnie himself… and not someone only known for having a toxic relationship.

(Note to Ronnie: We know this finale was filmed months ago, but have you read the recent headlines about you and Jen Harley?)

“I think Ronnie is confused about where he is in life,” Vinny told the cameras. “He’s trying to convince himself he’s happy, but when Ronnie gets drunk, he’s talking different.”

In his own confessional later on, Paul D agreed:

“Ron’s scared of not having that perfect life, which is bullsh-t. This is the modern family now.

“You don’t need to be married to have a child, you don’t need to be with the baby mama to have a good relationship with her daughter. He’s scared of all that.”

More prescient and profound than ever, the DJ continued:

“I also think Ron’s scared of being alone as well because I’ve never seen him legitimately single.

“I think that’s where a lot of the issues stem from. He forces relationships to happen because he thinks he needs to be in one.

“He needs to get himself right because you can’t jump into a relationship until you’re fixed. He’s not fixed from his relationship with Sammi.”

So this was the background for when Jenni came right out and said during the quasi family meal:

“Mike, why did you say Ronnie needs rehab?”

Oh. Boy.

Someone hold Ronnie back, folks.

First of all,” he said immediately in anger. “I’m having a kid in like six weeks. When I drink, I like to f-cking party. I didn’t make it my life. You made it your life. You let it affect your whole life. You let it destroy your life. So don’t sit there saying I need f-cking rehab.”

He wasn’t done screaming at The Situation, either.

“Bro, look at you! You f-cking got a tax evasion! You almost lost everything you f-cking earned.”

From here, as you might expect, it was totally on between the close friends.

“Did you not call me two weeks before we came here and say you needed rehab?!” Mike yelled back, to which Ronnie corrected Sitch by saying he asked for “help,” not rehab.

(You may be picking some nits there, Ronnie.)

“You put people’s dirt out there,” Ronnie said, truly starting to lose his temper and screaming at Mike:

“Your sh-t is public! Your sh-t is real news! That sh-t is on the papers! That’s why I talk about it. I don’t bring your dirt in the house. I don’t f-cking sweep your name in the f-cking mud.

“I just say what the facts are.”

Mike tried to remain calm.

“You need help,” he simply said in response.

“I don’t have a problem, bro!” Ronnie fired back. “I help myself. You never help yourself. Lauren [Mike’s new fiancee] helps you now. I take care of Jen, I take care of my kid, and her f-cking kid. Fact!

“End of the story. Bottom line. So don’t ever f-cking say I need help.”

Eventually, Ronnie went outside to cool down, admitting to Jen that he would have “literally beat [Mike’s] ass” if they had talked for even 10 seconds more.

So, what happened when mike went outside to continue the chat?

Was said ass beaten?

Thankfully, no.

“Number one, I care about you. Number two, I was f-cking wrong. I’m f-cking concerned about you,” Mike told his muscle-bound colleage, continuing as follows:

“You told me while we were in here that you are gonna get your act cleaned up when we get out of here. But, I went low.”

Ronnie: “And I went lower and I’m sorry for that. That’s something I need to work on.”

Would you look at that? Maturity and progress!

Then co-stars then hugged. AWWW!

As we said, Jersey Shore will return in August.

If Ronnie ever stops fighting with his baby mama, that is.

Grey"s Anatomy Fans, Stars React to Epic Finale

Now THAT"S what we call a season finale!

And, incredibly, that"s what we call a happy season finale.

On Grey"s Anatomy Season 14 Episode 24, Sarah Drew said goodbye as April and Jessica Capshaw said goodbye as Arizona.

But did the series kill off these character, as it has killed off so many before them?

Scroll down for a summary of these sad farewells and then for a rundown of how various stars and fans have reacted to the shocking developments from the finale…

1. A Double Farewell

With Capshaw and Drew’s firing announced weeks ago, fans were prepared for the worst. This is Grey’s, after all, so everyone assumed the characters themselves would be terminated. Literally.

2. How Did April Leave?

But… shocked! The show did not kill April off last week. Following her near-death experience, April chose to quit her job to do “God’s work,” helping the homeless.

3. And Then!

After Jo and Alex’s wedding was a disaster, Matthew actually got down on one knee and proposed! And April said YES!

4. And From There!

The couple didn’t just get engaged. They decided to get married right then and right there… with Jackson (Jesse Williams, pictured here) and Arizona there to watch and support them.

5. What About Arizona?

This one was a little bit less shocking, as Arizona realized how unhappy her daughter was in Seattle and chose to move to New York so the young girl to be closer to Callie.

6. Wait… Callie?!?

Yup. Sarah Ramirez did NOT appear on the finale, but Arizona hinted strongly that she’d be open to a reconciliation.

Tonya Harding Advances to DWTS Finale, Fans Tweet Their Fury

Ever since it was announced that Tonya Harding would join Dancing With The Stars to compete against other athletes, controversy has been building.

From the moment that it was announced, fans were disgusted that she was giving a shot at public redemption after the Nancy Kerrigan assault during their "90s rivalry.

Now, Tonya and her dance partner Sasha have continued to avoid elimination throughout the competition.

After their Rumba, they are advancing on to the finale.

Tonya"s story — from mourning her father to feeling that she"s been unjustly blacklisted for years — has won over some fans who are rooting for her.

Others are not won over, and they are incensed that she"s made it this far. In fact, some think that the show is deliberately keeping her on in order to boost ratings.

1. Some are mad at the voters

Remember, Dancing With The Stars has a panel of judges, but fans and viewers also cast their votes.

2. Some people watch with their parents

Those who remember Tonya from the ’90s may find her less sympathetic than those who are just now seeing her on television.

3. Some fans are enraged

No, please don’t time-travel back to 2002 and destroy a TV. They were so expensive back then!

4. Other fans are simply bewildered

For government or for a reality competition, democracy is one hell of a system.

5. Some think that casting her is morally irresponsible

Those who feel this way see the error being compounded with each episode that features Tonya.

6. Tonya’s history is hard to forget

Speaking of which, yes, plenty of folks have joked that Adam Rippon should be extra careful.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who Made it to Finale Night?

It’s hard to believe it, but Dancing with the Stars: Athletes is already gearing up for a conclusion. 

Episode three found three competitors being sent packing as the stage was set for next week’s big finale, but who danced to the top of the scoreboard on Monday? 

Let’s break down all of the performances and find out who exited the series. 

Mirai Nagasu and pro Alan Bersten – Quickstep

Mirai and Alan are a match made in dancing heaven. Every single moment of their routine was filled with memorable set pieces, and they showed off that they work very well together. 

The true test will be whether viewers have warmed to Mirai because she’s been one of the more polarizing figures on the show. 

Judges’ Score: 35/40

Jennie Finch and pro Keo Motsepe – Viennese Waltz

Jennie is not the best performer, but her charisma and chemistry with Keo more than makes up for it. But this is a dancing competition, and there’s no way these two are going to make it all the way to the end. 

Judges’ Score: 29/40

Chris Mazdzer and pro Witney Carson – Foxtrot

Chris has been one of the more consistent athletes, but there’s no denying that this week’s performance was a step in the wrong direction. 

He works well together with Witney, but there were a few moments that made it look like some parts were less rehearsed than others, and it made them suffer in the scoring department. 

Judges’ Score: 33/40

Tonya Harding and pro Sasha Farber – Rumba

Tonya has been steadily improving since the season debuted, and that’s what everyone at home looks for when they are voting. Progression is the key to success, and Tonya is going to garner the votes on that front. 

Judges’ Score: 33/40

Adam Rippon and pro Jenna Johnson – Contemporary

Adam has been one to watch ever since this truncated season debuted, and that’s in part due to his finesse when it comes to performing.

The man has overcome every challenging routine set out for him, and he should have no trouble winning the entire competition. 

Judges’ Score: 39/40

Josh Norman and pro Sharna Burgess – Contemporary

Like Adam, Josh went with a contemporary routine, and it was not one of his best performances yet. But it was still up there as one of the best of the night. 

Judges’ Score: 36/40

Couples Advancing 

Adam Rippon and Jenna Johnson

Tonya Harding and Sasha Farber

Josh Norman and Sharna Burgess

Eliminated

Jennie Finch and Keo Motsepe

Chris Mazdzer and Witney Carson

Mirai Nagasu and Alan Bersten

Okay, what do you think of the eliminations?

The Bachelor Finale Recap: Are You F--king Kidding Me?!

Whether you hate him or really hate him, Arie Luyendyk Jr. will go down in The Bachelor history books after this epic three-hour finale.

Who did he choose, Becca Kufrin or Lauren Burnham … and what happened after that? Were The Bachelor spoilers correct all along?

Before we could find out if said Bachelor spoilers were on point, the remaining two ladies got to meet Arie’s family, seeking their approval.

Lauren Burnham hit it off with the Luyendyks, while Becca Kufrin seemed more shaken by the high stakes as decision day drew near.

Yet Arie’s family eventually gravitated toward Becca as the woman they saw a future with for their son. And Luyendyk seemed to agree.

As both ladies prepared for their last dates of the season, he seemed like he had made up his mind, but this is Arie we’re talking about.

Lauren went from long shot to even money, overnight.

After she finally opened up to him and talked about a future together that he envisioned in much the same way, Lauren turned a corner.

Arie was clearly infatuated with the 25-year-old all season long, but wondered if she would truly become vulnerable and let him in.

It wasn’t until this date that she did, and it made him question everything. Finally, he could picture himself spending a lifetime with her.

BUT … then it was time for Becca’s final date, and well, she’s the same, pretty, funny, smart, authentic girl next door she’s always been.

She got the nod … and the final rose, and the ring.

Prior to his proposal to the 27-year-old Becca, of course, Arie had to break up with Lauren, who was expecting a proposal herself.

Suffice it to say, she did not receive this well. 

Apparently, neither did he … because he remained obsessed with Lauren, around the clock. This was after his engagement to Becca.

As weeks went by after he popped the question, Arie’s thoughts turned to Lauren, not the girl he’d gotten down on one knee for.

Becca was absolutely over the moon at the final rose ceremony, and afterward. But his heart was elsewhere, and he knew it.

He made a mistake, he told the cameras, and as painful as it is to admit it, he has to follow his heart and end the engagement.

So it was time to blindside Becca … on TV.

In a hilariously overhyped yet nevertheless gripping sequence, producers filmed the breakup and aired it, unedited, in a split screen.

The footage was as raw and uncut as The Bachelor – or any reality show – has ever aired, and Becca’s pain was devastating to witness.

Arie tried to let her down gently, but there was no chance of that. The f-bombs flew. The tears flowed. The awkward silences lingered.

Caroline Lunny’s comment on last week’s “Women Tell All” special that she “knows what Arie did” sure makes a lot more sense now.

So does the odd emphasis on Arie falling in love with two women, and ABC’s relentless promotion of this historic, unexpected event.

It was nothing short of savage. Brutal.

Seeing this story play out in real time was unlike anything we can compare it to – Chris Harrison was right about that – and it didn’t end there.

There are two more hours to go, and we’ve yet to hear from the beautiful woman Arie couldn’t get out of his mind, Lauren herself.

Stay tuned.

Arie Luyendyk Jr. on The Bachelor Finale: I Made a Huge Mistake!

Looks like The Bachelor spoilers we’ve been telling you about for weeks are on the money … and we’re gonna see some crazy s–t.

For once, Chris Harrison might be telling the truth when he says this finale is shaping up to be the most dramatic in Bachelor history. 

Rumors of what happens after The Bachelor gets engaged on the hit show have taken the Internet by storm, and for very good reason.

Suffice it to say, after an epic two-part (!) season finale on Monday and Tuesday, Arie Luyendyk Jr. will have some explaining to do.

Okay, a LOT of explaining.

“I know people are going to be hard on [me],” Luyendyk Jr. tells People, all but confirming what the Bachelor spoilers already revealed.

“I made a mistake,” the race car driver admits, but insists, “I’m prepared for the backlash. But all I can say is I had to follow my heart.”

The mistake he’s referring to can only be the choice between Becca Kufrin (left) and Lauren Burnham (right) at the final rose ceremony.

It’s a hard choice, no doubt. They’re both beautiful and wonderful people. But Arie’s been almost hilariously indecisive from the start.

If there were ever a Bachelor who struggled to make up his mind, it would be Luyendyk, as he’s shown time and time again this year.

Now that he’s down to the final two women, it’s apparently too much for the 36-year-old former Bachelorette runner-up to take.

“They’re both great in their individual ways,” he adds.

They sure are. But former contestant Caroline Lunny slammed him earlier this week for “what he did” to one of them at the end.

“This whole time, you’ve said that you are here because you are trying to find a wife,” she said at the Women Tell All reunion.

“I know what you did,” she added, channeling her inner Lauren Conrad, “and I don’t know how you could do that. I just don’t understand.”

“I really hope you found what you’re looking for.”

Caroline didn’t go into the details, but she’s very close to Becca Kufrin, so you can draw some strong conclusions based on that.

As for why she spoke out, Lunny explained:

“I needed to say what I said. When somebody burns somebody you love, you want to have that moment where you get the last word in.”

“I don’t think Arie knows what he wants,” she reiterated. I hope he can move past the glitz of being the Bachelor and take it seriously.”

Arie, a notorious playboy who reportedly broke up with his girlfriend to be on the show (he denies this), says he did find love in the end.

But he says he knows he has to own up to his actions, explain behavior that fans may not like, and handle the ensuing blowback.

“[My decision] might not be the most popular,” he admits. “But for me it’s so worth it. The finale is going to be very interesting.”

“[Both] fans to watch and my journey to get there, but I’m very happy and it’s been an experience that I will remember forever.”

“I really have no regrets doing it. All I can really say is that I’m very happy and it’s going to be fun for me to watch that back.”

“I think there’s criticism every season and I think that I handled that well,” he says, though Bachelor fans may have other ideas.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about finding that person for myself and being happy after all this. I really feel like I will be.” 

View Slideshow: The Bachelor & The Bachelorette: 31 Most Stunning Exits Ever!

So … if you haven’t figured it out or read the above links (spoiler alert, duh), can you parse his words to figure out what he does?

Do you think Lauren or Becca is a better fit for this guy? And can Arie stay committed to one or the other once the dust settles? 

Grab a hat and hold the f–k on to it.
