Pretty clear lead-in to his being The Bachelor, IMO!

Exactly!!!

I have to say although I love Chris L and would loved for Ali to choose him, she is going with her heart and she just can't go wrong with Roberto. It's the first time since I can remember where I just wanted her to pick one of them; I didn't want the RS spoilers (first ones of the no pick) to be true.

Although some don't see how she can let Chris go, at least she let him go before he went through the charade of picking out a ring. At least she didn't take that moment away from him. He can now do that with someone who loves him just as much as he loves her. He deserves that and A&R deserve happiness too. This has been a great season!!! Now it needs to be over so I can get my life back.:biglove

Chris handled this whole process, including Ali's rejection, with so much class, dignity and sincerity. The woman who winds up with him will be lucky indeed. Just wish I was 10 years younger!

That rainbow was for Chris, it was his mom confirming that the right thing happened, that Ali was NOT the one for him, she's not mature enough.

I'm not convinced his feelings for her are as strong as her feelings for him. But still. I believe there are real feelings there. They're both into each other and want to pick each other.

That's enough for me.

I thought Ali's "speech" to Chris was a little awkward, but I thought they both handled it well.

Just because a ton of viewers love Chris, doesn't mean Ali has to. She is following her heart and that's why she is on the show.

I did feel horrible for Chris. He seems like a good guy. I'm so glad Ali let him go before their LCD to spare his feelings. That was actually very unselfish of her. I'm not an Ali fan at all, but I thought that was a classy move.

Did he get the yellow diamond?

Does he know that she already sent Chris home?

I would think he will pick out a ring. I don't think he knows CL is gone. They will want him sweating it out at FRC.

Ali did the classy thing and did not go through the motions and let him propose or think he was going to. She let him go and told him why and did the right thing.
