First it was that it's either Ali picks Roberto or Ali is single and then he confirmed for sure that Ali was single.
Even with all the editing, my gut instinct was telling me that I was seeing a real love story unfolding before my eyes. I have become quite skeptical with this show, but I always saw more than just physical attraction with Ali and Roberto. I haven't really posted on here this season. I did read the spoilers from RS and that was fine with me. I felt that it kept me from getting too emotionally involved. However, the moment I saw Roberto, I felt a really strong connection, one that I do not get very often when I watch this show. He seemed to just jump right out of the screen with his charm, personality, sexy good looks, good manners and happy self. I adored him from that moment on.
It took me a while to warm to Chris, but I also decided that he was a genuinely great guy, a devoted son to his dying Mom, funny in his own quiet way, charming and so down to earth. I couldn't believe that we had two quality guys as the F2. On this show? I felt that Ali was in a win-win situation.
I have finally learned not to impose my own personal favorite on the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I have learned to respect their choice, because it's their life and they have to do what feels right for them. All I wanted this time was for everyone to be happy. These three deserved to find a happy ending, whatever that might be. I didn't trust any of the possible scenarios being discussed. For once, I thought that we might all be surprised and not know the ending until tonight's show.
I felt that there was something real between Ali and Roberto, but didn't want to post my thoughts. I also considered that Chris might well be the one. You never know with this show. I know that many Chris fans have been worried about how he might take not being picked. Watching him, I sense a great inner strength. When you watch your mother die too young, that is a loss that can either break you or make you strong. Losing Ali will be disappointing, but Chris has already experienced a shattering loss. He has the love and support of his wonderful family and the adoration of millions of fans who have watched his gentle grace and sweet nature. It appears that if he wants to be the next bachelor, it's his.
I hope Chris does what feels right for him. He deserves to find true love and happiness. For Ali and Roberto, I truly hope that they manage to triumph over the odds and have that magical wedding.
Yes, RS admitted he was wrong and that's a good thing. All's well that ends well, at least I hope so!
