Does that make sense?

I dont think they could have played anything up in this one because they had no other recourse it was all there with the first visit with the parents when he said that he likes them equally from they came and was sitting on the couch, although at that meeting the first person name out of his mouth was Jen, that I believe is why abc let the mother throw the brunch and we got to see the handling of that date and by the time that finish I knew he would choose Jen, the body language tells me because when he was talking to them both on the couch he practically for all intense and purpose almost ignore Sadie. Watch her face she was not a happy camper. If things dont work out for him and Jen and he goes back to Sadie good luck to him and her, but for me I would not want a man who basically told me that there is another girl here that I want to be with and slam the car door like that when I leave. Agnese got a better door lock on her exit than Sadie ever did get.

But don't you think they did edit some of the FCR with LO and JEn out???? I mean he said that he told her what the ring meant.. etc.. I believe we did not see it all. Just a thought!

How do we know that he didn't immediately contact Sadie, after the FRC.... regardless IF he ends up with either of these two ladies, the formula has worked they found love on the BACHELOR and they are trying to have a relationship............I would be happy if this happen with either....

I have to re-watch that part after my exam to see if there is a part missing.

I did not have a "favorite" that I wanted to "win", rather I sleuthed out the final rose receipient very early in the process (first episode) before I even saw their edited personalities. Personally it seems a little odd to me that a Bachelor would select one girl, drop her instead for #2, which #2 does after reports (NYPost gossip Page Six) of his heaving flirting with others during the show and is friends with #1. This would have the feel of Alec of Bach #1 ~ ew! I truly do not see this happening because of Sadie, but hopefully the facts will be evident soon.

We need another Byron!

Maybe we need another Trista, it seems like Byron and Mary are putting off marriage at an alarming rate not that it's any of my business, but Mary's clock sure is ticking and ticking.........

I think Lor wanted to do a "Charlie". The problem was Charlie already did a Charlie and the network and Fliess were not going to have anymore Charlie seasons.
I would go as far to say the contract stipulated --that a final pick HAD to be made at the FRC. No Charlie repeats!!
I think as the clock got closer to final decision time, he was not certain which lady to pick. He may have leaned toward one for certain reasons--unknown to us, and have leaned toward the other for certain reasons again unknown to us.
What we do know is in his own words he stated at various times that he was
confused, he said he fell in love with more than one woman and stated he did not make his final decision until 2 hrs before the FRC.
And please--editing was a HUGE factor this entire season!! I think we got very cut up versions of what transpired with the final 2. Sadie's followers think the stronger connection was with her and Jen's camp feels likewise--and let's face it--it's probably because that is exactly how Lor felt! I definitely felt even the FRC was spliced and diced!

He did what the contract stated and made a pick. I think he had all true intentions of making it work with Jen initially--certainly up to the point of the Ellen Degeneres interview.
I think Jen and Sadie also have contract obligations and that may be why we are not hearing from them, also.
When their contractual obligations are finally over, maybe something will come out for the public. Maybe not. It's their lives now, as much as we have been invested, we really don't have any say and they have no obligation to tell us anything.
Personally, I wish them all well and to find happiness with whomever their hearts lead them and thank them for a very entertaining season and allowing us a glimpse of their lives for that short time. I am sure we all feel this sentiment and that's why it's so hard to let it all go.

They are together and happy, and it seems to work for them ~ good for them!

I would like to see a Bachelorette season though from an UNKNOWN bachelorette ~ not a repeat, but at this point will take what I can get (except Erica).

HotMomma - I agree with your analysis. I think Lorenzo thought he wanted Jen, then something changed. Thus, no follow-up shows or much news of any kind.
