I am just not sure

I had mixed emotions going into the Season finale of The Bachelor on ABC. I have watched every episode, and also read the spoilers about a month ago (I know what you are thinking and sorry I can't wait - I even read the last chapter of every book I read before I get started). They all said it would be Chantal O. So that is what I was expecting. I know better than a lot of people that reality shows aren't nearly what you see on a screen. There is so much that happens behind the scenes of a show before you ever get to the happy ending and things are definitely not always as they seem. But here is the thing - Brad definitely liked Emily from the absolute beginning but it didn't look like she was that into Brad! I feel like I have been on both sides of that relationship so many times and it is frustrating. I think I am so interested in it because I have been going through my own relationship drama in the past few years and their banter on the After The Rose hit a little close to home. If you are really in love you just go for it right? I don't think Emily is all there - maybe it will come but right now things look rough.

On another note, I am really excited for the next season of The Mormon Bachelorette. One thing that I really love about doing this show is all the amazing people that I get to meet along the way. So many deserving girls are ready to put themselves out there to find true love and it is heart warming and empowering. It takes a lot of faith to put yourself on the line and go for it like they are. I am excited to meet all the new friends along the way and help another couple find true love.

Here's another thing - Ashley as the next Bachelorette? Really? She did nothing for me - I hope the guys out there feel differently. Great opportunity but wow I can't believe they are going in that direction. Honestly I think ABC would have been going out on a riskier and more exciting limb if they would have chosen Michelle - what an interesting twist that would have been. Plus, I was converted to the Michelle camp after "Women Tell All". Maybe it was my bleeding heart but after those harpies tore her apart as a mother and person on tv I was ready to go brawl. She deserves a shot at love - even sarcastic girls need romance. Especially if they are incredibly entertaining. Who's with me?

Regardless, I am thrilled to start another season of TMB and also watch the train wreckage of The Bachelor Pad on ABC next month. It gives me ideas left and right...
