Woo hoo, tonight is the finale episode of The Bachelorette! Who do you think Ali will choose--Roberto, Chris or neither? I think Chris...but who knows? I have a feeling there will be lots of twists and turns.I'd LOVE to do "live commenting" during the finale episode. Just come to this post from 8-10 EST tonight, and we can gossip and chat during the show. It would be really fun to watch it with you guys; I'm so excited! xoxo
Fun fun!!! I think I'll download the whole season now! :) I need something to watch!

I cant wait for it...I think she will go with Chris too....But as you I think something is up....Yuppie! See you soon, Joanna
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great date with Alex:) How was Toby with the babysitter?
Kisses:)
Nice picture!
ReplyDeletediana, thanks for your sweet note! toby was great -- the babysitter is super lovely, and he was happy as a clam. when we came home at 8pm, he was all swaddled up and asleep for the night. feeling good about it! :)
ReplyDeleteJoanna, thats great! I bet it put you at ease...Its good to find a lovely babysitter early on so you can trust her and Toby will feel comfy around her:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that it went well:)
Thanks for the reply:)
See you later:)
Kisses,Joanna
I haven't been watching this show. But you're making me want to at least watch the finale so I can join in the comments!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice date with your hubby!
I can't tell you how excited I am : )
ReplyDeleteTEAM CHRIS!!
www.the-blisslist.com
Don't have this programme in the UK which is upsetting me as I think I'd love it!
ReplyDeleteOMG is the final on already?
ReplyDeleteWe've been downloading the episodes and watching it all the way over here in Sydney.. (yes, we love cheesy TV.. :)
I hope she goes Chris - he is such an adorable person. Nervous now..
x C
I really really hope she chooses Chris ... he's dreamy.
ReplyDeleteI WILL BE WAITING FOR THIS ALL DAY!!!
ReplyDeleteexcited to see tonight! and espec what she'll be wearing!!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.pinkpeonieswithlove.blogspot.com
I love this show! It is so my guilty pleasure. I too hope that she chooses Chris, but I am not really sure if she will. See you tonight!
ReplyDeleteI hope she picks Cape
ReplyDeleteI feel like she will pick Roberto, but I hope she picks Chris.
ReplyDeleteSomebody told me who she picks but I'm hoping it was just a rumor. I can't wait to watch the show tonite but I'll have to run back and forth to my computer to post live! I love her dress! Have fun watching! Jennifer:)
ReplyDeleteI feel like she is expected to pick Roberto, because he is hunky and more of an "excitement " to her at the moment, but I desperately hope that she picks Chris because he is just so utterly genuine with his love and devotion to her. He is so much more realistic. And I believe that she liked his family A LOT more.
ReplyDeleteWho knows!
Cant WAIT for the live commenting session!
I think she's going to choose neither Roberto or Chris. I think in the end she follows her heart and ends up alone! She was totally in love with Frank.
ReplyDeleteSaw Chris's dad at the market but he says that he doesn't even know! I don't know whether or not to believe him.
ReplyDeletei'm excited, i'll be watching for sure. I blogged today about how I think Ali needs to be allowed to bring along some girlfriends, it's gotta be tough not being able to talk about this with your friends!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!!!!!
ReplyDeletexo Marcie
neither! and I'm sticking to it. x
ReplyDeleteI can say that I hope she does not choose Roberto, because my friend has been attending a training program with him and has gotten to know him pretty well. She hadn't yet watched the show, but ended up watching the entire season online, and says that he is exactly the same in 'real life' as he appears to be on show. So, why do I hope that he is NOT chosen?? Because he 'needs' to be with my beautiful, fun loving, and SINGLE friend instead!!! I'll be in class tonight, but have fun during your chat session!!
ReplyDeleteI hope she picks Roberto because I want Chris all to myself(:
ReplyDeletePlus, if she picks Roberto then Chris could be then next Bachelor and I would get a whole other season with him haha
Can't wait to watch it!
alison, really? that's so fascinating!!! the show is so good at building the suspense.
ReplyDeleteBEYOND EXCITED!
ReplyDeleteIf she doesn't pick Chris she's making the biggest mistake since Deanna chose the showboarder, or Jillian chose Ed, or since the Producers chose Bob Ginney.
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T WAIT!!!

What is a good idea for a delicious item to bring to a Bachelorette Finale viewing party potluck? Something cheeky would be best - such as "Roberto Raspberry tarts" ... haha :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it will be Chris, but you never know! There will for sure be some twists!
ReplyDeletexo tash
Ah I wish we had this show in London! Speaking of weddings did you see these images from a while back? I love how they chronicle the entire day from start to finish http://joshgoleman.com/2009/05/adam-and-hallis-weddding/
ReplyDeleteBernadette, what about Cape Cod Chowder? :)
ReplyDeleteI REALLY hope she picks Chris! He seems like he would genuinely take care of her and besides, he knows what true love means! I just can't see her with Roberto. She seems to have a bit of a self-esteem problem and I think their relationship would suffer if she was constantly unsure of how much he loved her. He is gorgeous though I'll have to admit!
ReplyDeleteOh it better be the Latin Lover Roberto.
ReplyDeleteStill rooting for Frank -- is that so wrong? :)
ReplyDeletei am drooling over Chris. Cape Cod? yes, please!
ReplyDeleteyay! so excited for this episode.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, after watching the opening, I think Chris may be my pick for Ali. Roberto is a cutie though!
ReplyDeleteso last minute bets? i'm thinking she might not pick anyone now.
ReplyDeleteHaving A Fin-Ali party! Ready for the MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY EVA? :)
ReplyDeletelove that white and gray dress on her!
ReplyDeleteTEAM CHRIS!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's going to stay solo. All signs point to that. She was so noncommittal in interviews before this and I truly think she won't choose anyone (she doesn't seem oriented towards a wedding anytime soon)... I guess we'll see!
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I am also thinking she might not pick anyone. I heard an interview with her on the radio this morning and it sort of seemed like that's the way she went... we'll see!
ReplyDeleteYeah i think she doesn't choose either...I know Frank is at the Final Rose can't wait to see THAT!! I miss Frankie :( :( :(
ReplyDeleteI feel like the show discloses too much in the previews. I was disappointed that they spoiled the Frank-thing 2 week before it actually happened. He might've been my fav.
ReplyDeleteyes, her dress is totally cute! roberto is so dreamy. is he boring, though? i can't decide.
ReplyDeleteoooh, ali's mom, get a hold! roberto is TOO CUTE in this scene!!!
ReplyDeleteRoberto's such a cutie but I think Ali needs to go with the Red Sox fan :)
ReplyDeleteEven just the name Roberto is dreamy :)
ReplyDeleteWell, they say that whatever happens tonight has never happened before. And someone has walked away choosing no one before. So, who knows what happens?
ReplyDeleteha ha, roberto is TOOOOO cute.
ReplyDeletei think you might be right about roberto being boring...
ReplyDeletewhat happens if she doesn't choose anyone? does she get another 25 to pick from?
the previews have been driving me crazy! what could the big surprise be??
ReplyDeleteand roberto is just too adorable... if ali doesn't want him, i'll take him!
IF she doesn't pick anyone that would be awful! I remember hearing that Chris is a bad kisser though...or at least not the best one ever that could have something to do with her choice...Also that dress is so lovely! Long and grecian and elegant!
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well tonight :)
have fun watching!
I'm not won over by him... hope she picks Chris.
ReplyDeleteP.S. They're really working the ads for the new Jennifer Aniston movie! (But Jason Bateman is so lovely, so it's not the worst.)
omg, anna, did you hear that chris was a bad kisser? bc when she kissed him on their first one-on-one date, it LOOKED like he was a bad kisser! sad!
ReplyDelete(ashley, agreed on jason bateman)
ReplyDeletedid he just say "i generally care out her?" :)
ReplyDeleteLONG pause! brutal!
ReplyDeleteI think Chris looks like a bad kisser.
ReplyDeleteFrank is going to be @ the rose ceremony?! How will that work?
ReplyDeleteSo hard for the guy if he is really crazy about her...
ReplyDeleteI came in late - Frank is going to be at the rose ceremony??!!
ReplyDeleteNever "live chatted" before. This is fun. Joanna I love your site!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope Frank doesn't show and try to steal her away... I do NOT think he is attractive. And Roberto is sooo dreamy. Can't wait to see how Chris does!
ReplyDeleteI dont know but he's been in the paper here in Chicago kissing Nicole all around the city they look so in love and I'm actually kind of happy for him?! But I heard he will be at the rose ceremony (which was pretaped) None of that is live.... oh the suspense kills ya
ReplyDeleteroberto is gonna take it home!! ooh the tension...they're both proposing!??!?!? eeek!
ReplyDeletehttp://ladulcivida.blogspot.com/
I always feel sort of bad for the parents. I'd be so nervous if I were them--and they didn't sign up to be on TV. And they can't possibly be quite as glamorous as all these gorgeous 20/30-somethings...
ReplyDeleteHe does look like he's working a little hard on the pucker sometimes.
About kissing - Chris can learn, right? As long as she is attracted to him AND he is a good guy.
ReplyDeleteYES he will be there!!!!!!!!!! 10000000 % confirmation ladies. He also has a facebook account! his mom posts on it! I feel sort of bad for their family seems like the whole experience has been rough.
ReplyDeleteSurprised Ali's hair extensions don't fall out with all these swims in Tahiti
ReplyDeleteI think there is something wonderful about being with a guy who feel lucky to be with you.
ReplyDeletewait WHAT? frank is going to be at the rose ceremony? i must have missed that. ooh, that IS dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI am pulling for Chris...to hear that he is a bad kisser is disheartening.
ReplyDeleteAli's mom sees so nice!
ReplyDeleteI think the fam likes Chris better too!
ReplyDeleteAli's Mom is buggin'
ReplyDeleteoh man...chris fits right in with her family! so many coicindental similarities...hmmm...
ReplyDeleteTHe mom is vetting him: if he was close to his mom and nice to her, then he will be a good husband.
ReplyDeleteHer heart is in love with Frank...she is falling for Chris and Roberto but she's just not the same since he left.... I honestly think she chooses neither and that it's just an awkward After the Final Rose. NO NO Frank will not be at the Rose Ceremony - he wil be at the AFTER the Final Rose i think 10pm EST time.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the confusino!!!!!
Can I marry Chris if Alli doesn't? He's so sweet...and seems a little more grown up than Roberto....
ReplyDeletethis show is sort of funny... but still entertaining! I'm very skeptical abt. finding love on TV (& when your time is so divided and everything is staged--> not realistic!). Personally, I'd wonder about someone who'd want to propose based on that. ha!...can you simply decide to date?
ReplyDeleteLay off about the mom thing with Chris! Poor guy!
ReplyDeleteI am hating being in Mountain time zone right now...I told myself I wouldn't come here and read until I saw the show but can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteDid I just read frank will be at the rose ceremony? WTF
"I am falling in love" NOT I am totally in love. He is not ready to propose.
ReplyDeleteAli's family hearts Chris. This must be awkward for Ali. I think she senses that.
ReplyDeleteokay don't kick me out out the chat ladies for spreading rumors. Frank will be at the AFTER the Rose cermemony directly after the Bachelorette not the Rose Ceremony itself SO SORRY .....
ReplyDeleteLol--loved the Roberto "I generally love her." But pulling for Chris. PS I find the harp background music so distracting...
ReplyDeleteoooh I noticed that "falling in love" part too! Hmmm. I think he is also a little bit reserved. If she ends up with Frank in the after the rose ceremony I will flip my shizz. Haven't the tabloids said that she IS engaged and planning a wedding?
ReplyDeleteI, too, felt bad for Chris when A's Mom kept asking about his Mom. You can tell that it's still hard for him to talk about.
ReplyDeleteoh my, how terrible does that Bachelor Pad show look!?!?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Ali will become the "wild card" @ the Bachelor Pad. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteaww... "wicked amazing"
ReplyDeletewow, just catching up now. can't believe that frank will be at the rose ceremony. uh oh... drama!
ReplyDelete"Wicked" - ok, I'm officially falling for Chris!
ReplyDeletelauren, agreed! i can't believe kypton is on it.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was insane how Ali's mom phrased her question about Chris' mom. She said "did she stay home when you were little or did she have to work?" tat was strange..
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who has a tear come to her eye every time she sees a man talk to his future wife's father?
ReplyDeletei really like chris, he's so sweet. but their relationship just seems so awkward. anyone agree?
ReplyDeleteor WORSE ali will be on dwts LOL oh no
ReplyDeleteChris would be such a great husband.
ReplyDeleteNew idea... she chooses Chris and he decides not to propose in lieu of promise ring? Has that happened before?
ReplyDeleteshe was all over Roberto around her fam but not chris.
ReplyDeletechris would be a great husband. he is so sweet. but wishfulnals, i totally agree, they have a weird pace to their relationship. he has awkward pauses when he talks, and when he's with fast-talking ali, it just feels a little off.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous--Agreed! But for someone else. I'm just not feeling him & Ali longterm...
ReplyDeleteHas anyone else noticed how bad BOTH boys were sweating talking to her dad?
ReplyDeletechris is so sweet when he whispers to her, i love it!!! i think he's really in love with her.
ReplyDeleteI love how Chris's hair sticks up all over the place when it's wet - so adorable!
ReplyDeleteso who do you guys think Ali will choose????? i think if frank is at the rose ceremony, she might end up with him...?
ReplyDeleteThe sexual chemistry between Ali and Chris is off...I don't feel like she wants to rip his clothes off. hmmmm...
ReplyDeleteyeah, totally a bad kisser. but she can teach him. haha, she should've said "it's not about who's a great kisser."
ReplyDeletechris is a sweetheart, but does anyone else notice ali seems uncomfortable touching him??? i really don't feel their chemistry.
ReplyDelete@christine, your baby is SO CUTE!!!
ReplyDeleteAshley, I like your idea. I think it makes the most sense. Most of them don't follow through w/the engagement anyway do they? I think agreeing to continue dating in real life is the most viable decision anyone could make. A proposal seems forced.
ReplyDeletewhat does "does he love her back" mean? they both just asked her dad for her hand in marriage, so....they obviously love her. wtf?
ReplyDeleteThey just gave it away..."Has she found the man of her dreams and does he love her back?" HELLO Ladies the answer is Yes she has and no he doesn't! No proposal.... :( Who is the next bachelor and when does the season start?
ReplyDeleteDad's are scarey! Maybe bc they know all the guys' tricks.
ReplyDeleteI love Chris - but what is the big surprise ending they keep hyping?!
ReplyDeletehttp:\\chenaultlife.blogspot.com
Evie-I noticed that too. the boys were not just sweating when they talked to Ali's dad, but on some of the one on one dates too. What do you think the temperature is in Tahiti??
ReplyDeleteChris shifted his eyes super dramatically when he said they were going to spend their life together. I think that means he knows he's lying! Roberto is totally going to win.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Riki...it seems like Ali is forcing the affection just a bit
ReplyDeletei want to go to bora bora.
ReplyDeletechris is so in love with her, but i think ali is still finding her way. roberto is so cute + charming. i think ali finds him exciting -- but i agree, i think if frank shows up, he'll get the final rose.
ReplyDeleteriki, agreed! (ps. hi!)
ReplyDeleteChris kind of evaded the "do you love her?"-question didn't he?
ReplyDeleteAli said her feelings are " all over the place" does that mean she feels differently about one of the guys?
ReplyDeleteI think the dad favors Roberto big time.
ReplyDeleteI like Roberto more so than Chris. Just by a little bit though. If Roberto does not get picked, he needs to be the Bachelor!
ReplyDelete-Minnie
CHRIS!!!!!! roberto is hot but boring. ali just has the hots for him. and in terms of being a good/bad kisser, chris is so nice he'd probably make a huge effort to kiss better if she asked hahaha
ReplyDeletebye bye robbie!
she was totally in love with frank though. she wanted to pick him since like 3 or 4 weeks ago
It seems like most people want Chris to be the one, but I have been all for Roberto since the beginning. I hope she chooses him, but I have a feeling she might choose no one....that would be disappointing!
ReplyDeleteOmg. Bora Bora. Swoon!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love my family, but I definitely don't know if I could have my family make this sort of decision for me...
This commentary is SO FUN to read! :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteIt is hot in Tahiti, anonymous! But the dad wasn't sweating....cool customer. I was surprised to hear him be on team Roberto? I would think a dad would be more intimidated by tall, dark, and handsome for their daughter...Chris, I would think, would be a safer choice as far as dad's are concerned?
ReplyDelete@minnie - i agree! although, i think chris would make a good bachelor, too, if he doesn't win. he's so committed to finding 'the one'.
ReplyDeleteEek! It seems like Chris is totally in love with Ali...but I'm not feeling the love on her end. She seems gaga for Roberto, but I'm not so sure he is 100% on the Ali train. How Shakespearean! :)
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure she picks no one, that 's the dramatic twist. She's following her heart 'just like Frank' did. She's not 100% invested in either of the two left.
ReplyDeleteshe loves off-the-shoulder!
ReplyDeleteI think Ali really likes Chris and he is a great guy...definitely a good fit with her family....I really like Chris, but y'all the chemistry between them is a little wonky....
ReplyDeleteOh, can't I go to Bora Bora? It'd be even sweeter with Chris there!
ReplyDeletewas chris the one that drove that moped/motorcycle really slow on that one date?
ReplyDeletehaha, maggie, yes!
ReplyDeleteI think you can't deny the chemistry is far greater with Roberto.
ReplyDeleteRoberto and Ali are so cute! Reminds me of me and my hubby :)
ReplyDeleteokay this STING RAY SCENE ladies........!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteok, so she said on the "guys tell all" special that it would be a bachelorette ending that has never happened before...and hasn't not choosing either happened before? The bachelor Brad Womack didn't choose anyone...right?? ahh...I hate the waiting!
ReplyDeleteSide note: those sting rays are cray cray crazy!
So I am a little late to this party, but I was kind of wondering if Ali would go after Frank.. just because of the way the show says "a never before seen ending." But I feel terrible for both Chris and Roberto b/c they both care about her!
ReplyDeleteoh no! what if ali picks roberto? she's been attracted to him the whole time but Chris seems like such a good guy!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just me, but I'm a little bored with the first hour so far...
ReplyDeleteIs anyone else a little sick of the next bach/ette always being a part of the last show? I'm so wanting a new face!
ReplyDeleteI hope hope she picks Roberto. I think Chris is just looking for a wife.
ReplyDeleteI love the comments, Joanna! I think Chris is so genuine in his love for Ali.It is so sweet to watch. That said, if she picks one of them, I think she will pick Roberto...They have great chemistry and I think she is crazier about him. We'll see who Ali chooses...Can't wait!!!
ReplyDeleteI think she is just the most boring girl. I hope she doesn't pick either and they can both get their own seasons of The Bachelor! :)
ReplyDeleteGah! Ali and Roberto are so good looking. Stop being so good looking!
ReplyDeleteok, making out in the rain...she's choosing Roberto.
ReplyDeleteshe seems schmoopier w/roberto for sure. i think she'll go for him. i've changed my mind now.
ReplyDeletehaha, evie, true.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is anything better than kissing in the rain.
ReplyDeleteI know she is going to choose Roberto!!! I agree with Riki- she looks like she's uncomfortable touching/kissing Chris.
ReplyDeleteoh man - i bet it's going to be ali and roberto! you're right mtran - they are pretty together, haha :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe SHE proposes to Roberto...thats the twist?? She is the one proposing????????? I don't know this show drives me craze
ReplyDeleteI have been on team Chris since day one, but Roberto is totally winning me over. Also, Chris is so flat and I think he's faking it. I'm thinking she picks him, and he freaks and says he can't do it.
ReplyDeletesting rays!? thats how crocodile dundee died!!
ReplyDeleteShe's diggin' Roberto....I think it will be him...
ReplyDeletePicking neither will be a HUGE disappointment. Will make me feel like I wasted all of this time following this silly show. I want a real TWIST. Picking no one is super predictable. I find it strange that the show & it's previews of coming weeks has been the biggest spoiler of all.
ReplyDeleteHow is everyone watching The Bachelorette? I'm sitting in front of the tv eating strawberries and green grapes while wearing pajamas. If my boyfriend wasn't in NY, I would make him join me!
ReplyDeleteali still seems so insecure around roberto...
ReplyDeleteShe & Roberto are hot hot hot together ... AND is that enough reason to get married?!?!? I think she's not ready ... I hope she says she needs to keep dating. Oh & Hi Joanna ;))
ReplyDeleteOoo - good call S!! I think she'll propose to Roberto!
ReplyDeletehave you guys checked reality steve today? DONT if you don't want a spoiler!
ReplyDeletep.s. i'm drinking wine and eating oreos.
Who's taller? Has anyone been able to tell?
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh--they are so adorable. Ok, I'm with you Joanna...it has to be Roberto! I hope the twist isn't him not choosing her back...? That would be so heartbreaking! Chris is so sweet though, so if she doesn't choose him it's going to be so heartbreaking as well. Ahhhh, the emotional torture!
ReplyDeleteshe's so insecure with roberto!
ReplyDelete"COME INTO MI CASA!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteguys...does anyone else think Chris is weird kisser???
ReplyDeletesarai, cute with wine and oreos. i'm eating watermelon salad with feta and mint.
ReplyDeleteanyone want to meet in bora bora for a recap tomorrow? :)
ReplyDeleteWhat nice penmanship Roberto!!
ReplyDeleteRoberto all the way.
ReplyDeletemaybe chris takes the rejection really bad and some drama goes down - maybe that's the twist?????
ReplyDeletetotally roberto. he shoots, he scores.
ReplyDeletehahah Maggie! I agree, beautiful penmanship
ReplyDeleteyeah , SLAM DUNK joanna!
ReplyDeleteoh especially now! telling ali he told her dad he loves her. definitely sealed the deal.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how they would become so comfortable like that (in bed!!!) with cameras.
ReplyDeleteCamera fade....
ReplyDeleteI feel like she might kind of be the boring one! She IS insecure with Roberto. I feel like neither are right for her!
ReplyDeleteMy boss, Jack, who is my dad's age, just texted me to say that she is going to pick Roberto...that is was in her eyes....so there is a male perspective for us!
ReplyDeletehaha, mtran, i was just thinking that! they're having this incredibly intimate moment...with three camera guys.
ReplyDeleteand notice how her voice sometimes changes with him (the "baby" voice)...? sure sign of love! ;)
ReplyDeleteWas that the first time a bachelor/ette has ever said 'I love ..." before the proposal scene?
ReplyDeleteOHMIGOSH THATS THE DRAMA!!! SHe doesn't go on the final date with CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWishful nals, you have a plane ticket for me? If so, I'm there!
ReplyDeleteyou hear that ladies? she can't go see chris tomorrow.
ReplyDeletetotally roberto.
haha, yes, the camera crew is always there! funny when you stop to think about it. wow, she admits that she doesn't want to go on her date with chris. so sad!
ReplyDeleteSHe plays around with Rico Suave all night and all day the next day and misses her date with Chris ooops!
ReplyDeletewhoaaaaaa...is that the twist???? is chris not even an option anymore?? hmmmmmmm
ReplyDeletemtran- I'm watching it with a skinny cow and a face mask on... this moment made possible by my boyfriend being out of town...
ReplyDeletehaha, evie, that's really cute.
ReplyDeleteSuch a baby voice...I totally noticed that, very funny. I think they're trying too hard to be comfortable!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I wonder what happens next...Always has to be a little drama on this show! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. Chris could be the next Bachelor...?
