Wow. Was anyone else completely annoyed throughout The Bachelor 's finale? My biggest problem with reality TV is that no one seems to be able to accurately express what they're feeling. I think viewers understand what's going on, but somehow, everyone else seems clueless. Probably because they're actually involved, so their hearts are in it or something. With that, here are my thoughts on the finale. #1 - I think it's totally fine that JP didn't propose or even say "I love you." Saying those words is a big deal, and if you don't feel it, you shouldn't say it.

Not to mention, he just went through a very unconventional route to finding someone, followed by a few months of hiding that relationship, so I don't blame him for being unsure. It takes a lot  of people a lot more  than ten weeks to say those word...

Unfortunately, I can't convince R to watch with me, or even listen to me talk about anything that is going on, so you all get to hear about it here :) Feel free to skip this post if you're not interested in The Bachelor :) Here's my biggest pet peeve about the show: when the girls say "I deserve  that rose tonight" or "Getting the rose tonight would mean more than any of the other roses up to this point" or really anything about the rose in general. First of all, it doesn't matter how much you share, or how personal what you share is; it matters how JP is feeling, and he'll give the rose to the girl that he's feeling it for the most that night. Second of all, of course  the rose means more the later on in the game it gets. Why state the obvious? Also, related but not quite the...
