in Shows by

After a lot of spoilers and lot of speculation, Becca Kufrin has finally made her choice for her future husband. She picked the 29 year old Medical Sales rep, Garrett Yrigoyen, from Reno Nevada and she sent home Blake Horstmann. In the dramatical finale, aired last night, showed the difficult choice Becca had to make between the two men. Most people were rooting for Blake based on the fact the Garrett had some very problematic issues with his social media. Also, throughout the whole season there was a very obvious and strong connection between Becca and Blake. While she appeared to have a good time with Garrett, Blake seemed more well-rounded and also was very open with his feelings. Since their first one on one date, fans thought that Blake was the obvious choice.

But it was not meant to be, after giving his full speech, Blake was sent home to nurse his broken heart. Although, there had been rumors that Garrett was going to be the last one standing, people held out hope for Blake. After fans learned of Garrett’s problematic social media use after the first episode, they were quick to condemn him but as the season wore on, he managed to win over some people with his simple and seemingly sweet disposition. Some fans were able to forgive his transphobic, homophobic and racist likes on certain defamatory Instagram posts but others not so much. During the finale, many took to social media expressed their frustration that Becca picked someone that had liked and supported all those hateful Instagram posts. Early on in the season, Garrett issued a public apology that stated the following:

During the After the Rose Special, host Chris Harrison addressed the controversy. When asked about those likes, Garrett said, “I didn’t realize the effect of a double tap or a ‘like’ on Instagram,” Garrett explained. “I didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings . . . I stand by everything I said in my apology. I’m trying to grow on a daily basis.”

Becca has asked fans early on to be open-minded about Garrett. Becca told Entertainment Tonight, “I want them to go through this season with me and watch my love story unfold with all of these men. I did things in the past that I’m sure [weren’t] the best [things], but I just want people to stay open-minded to everyone.”

During the finale, she said that although she doesn’t agree with his past Instagram usage, she believes that he has learned from the situation. She told Chris Harrison, “The Instagram situation, I don’t condone that and I know that he stands by his apology and he feels so bad for everyone that he did offend. He didn’t mean it. But I just want to move forward, to learn and to grow and continue to educate ourselves.”

Fans of the franchise were not pleased with outcome. Multiple people took to Twitter to express their outrage that Becca picked Garrett over Blake.

 

There has been no wedding date set yet but the couple appears to be full steam ahead despite the lack of support from Bachelor/Bachelorette Nation. Normally, we would say congrats but we aren’t Garrett fans either and honestly, we believe that this relationship is not going last.

ABC’s Most Hated Bachelor and his Second Fiancé Might Elope

Arie and Lauren talking about eloping After the dumpster fire of an ending to the current boring season of the Bachelor, the second place winner and Arie are now talking about eloping sometime in the near future. For anyone that watched this season, this would be a great move in order to spare us the indignity of having to watch their wedding special. If you all can’t tell, Arie was not our favorite bachelor and we would like him to go gently into the sweet night.

For those who aren’t aware, Arie’s season was a borefest from the beginning and most people weren’t happy when he was chosen to be the next bachelor. Peter, from Rachel’s season, was a fan favorite and everyone assumed that he was the front runner to be the next bachelor. People were disappointed and surprised that suddenly Arie from a previous season from many years ago was picked. There were a lot of unhappy bachelor fans out there.

His whole season was indescribably boring. Until the Women Tell All episode. One of the rejected women, Caroline, shocked everyone by confronting Arie about the ending of the season. She called him out over something that he did after the season ended. She cryptically said, “I know what you did and I don’t know how you could do that. And I just really don’t understand. But I really hope you found what you’re looking for.” There was no other explanation but fans found out a week later that Arie pulled one of the worst moves in Bachelor history.

Stale Olive Garden breadstick of human Arie proposed to one woman, Becca, and then a month later dumped her ON CAMERA and then immediately ran to the runner up, Lauren, and asked her back out. But it later came out that he had already contacted her while engaged to Becca to find out how she felt. Becca knew he wanted to contact Lauren but she didn’t know that it opened the door to Arie getting back with Lauren.

On the After the Rose special, Arie proposed to Lauren and are now talking about eloping. Arie called off one engagement, then immediately got engage and it now talking about getting married ASAP. The callous way that man move from one relationship to another makes me doubt that Lauren has found her happily ever after.

Becca, however, isn’t sweating it because she is going to be the next Bachelorette and based on the guys she met during the after the rose special, we thinks she is going to be just fine. Our favorite so far is this fine piece of man, Lincoln, we hope to see more of him this summer.
