On March 13, the Bachelor Nation eagerly awaited who Nick chose to give his final rose to and if he was going to propose.
We were all hopeful that Nick would FINALLY find love on his fourth go around on reality TV. The finale was shown live when it was actually filmed a while ago, so whoever was actually proposed to had to keep it lowkey.
The final date took place in Finland where the two final contestants, Vanessa Grimaldi and Raven Gates, officially met his family and got to have one-on-one time with them. Raven did so well with his family, she just fit in and it had nothing to do with the fact that she had already met them briefly. His parents said she seemed genuine, which I 1000% agree with.
Raven is the sweetest and most deserving gal ever. Vanessa just seemed guarded and awkward the whole time. On Vanessa’s last date, they went horseback riding, then she got to meet Santa, and she voiced some of her concerns with Nick where she just annoyed me. She questioned if it would work while Raven was confident and sure of their relationship. I would kill for a date like Raven had. Nick and her went ice skating, then he brought her three, I repeat, THREE husky puppies. I wanted to snatch them right out of the screen.
At last, the long anticipated decision time had come. Raven was positive that Nick was going to propose and Vanessa was weary and unsure. Nick had a tough decision to make, especially since he has felt three times how devastating it is to make it all the way to the end just to get turned down.
He ended up choosing Vanessa, but it pisses me off that he led Raven on the way he did. He probably broke up with her in the worst way. He kept saying, “I’m not IN love with you” which probably ripped her to shreds. In all honesty, I’m glad to be done with this stupid season and excited to watch Rachel as the new Bachelorette and watch Raven have another chance at “love” at “Bachelor in Paradise.”
At least Vanessa and Nick had adorable engagement photos together and I hope they do stay together, which is totally unrealistic for most Bachelor/Bachelorette couples with all but probably two exceptions.
