BBs! I am SPENT after that finale! Spent I tell you!!! But before we get to why I’m so emotionally drained, we have a lot to cover. So let’s dive in!
It’s time for the guys to meet Jenn’s family! Her best friend Nicole is here, plus her brother James, mom, and her aunt. Devin comes to meet everyone first. Mom isn’t holding back and tells Jenn that she doesn’t feel that Jenn and Devin have had enough time together. James is v protective of Jenn and when Devin asks for James’ blessing to propose to Jenn, James declines. Devin leaves feeling insecure because Marcus is still in the picture, plus not getting the blessing.
Marcus comes to meet the family and something occurs to me. We never get to see the gifts the guys bring the families! I wanna see!!! All we see are gift bags. Shame. Anyway, James sits down with Marcus and later says that Marcus played ring around the rosy with my questions. Marcus gets emotional talking with mom and aunt. James asks Jenn how long are you willing to wait for Marcus? Jenn says I have hope but I don’t want to repeat history. Apparently Jenn has dated lots of emotionally unavailable men in the past. Jenn asks Marcus how do you see this ending, but he dodges the question. Jenn says I love you and Marcus replies with I know.
Final Dates
Devin’s date is first and they have a Hawaiian spiritual ceremony. That night Devin gives Jenn a stone he was given by the shaman in New Zealand. He was told to hold onto it until the right time, so this really touches Jenn.
Marcus meets with Jesse before his date with Jenn. Jesse counsels Marcus that if Marcus loves Jenn he needs to tell her or he’ll lose her. Jenn goes to Marcus’ room and lays it all out on the table. Do you want to date? Do you see me in your future? Marcus deflects some and hems and haws but then says my highest aspiration in life is to find my person and start a family. Jenn- But is that with me? Marcus gets emotional and BBs when I tell you that one tear sliding down that beautiful face about wrecked me….LAWD help me get through this episode!!! Marcus then tells Jenn I know I love you (!!!) I don’t want to give up on us. Jenn steps away for a moment. She comes back and breaks up with him then leaves his room. She says she just can’t wait around anymore for someone to get there. My heart!!!
Marcus is v emotional and says AGAIN that he thinks there’s something wrong with him! It’s so heartbreaking!!! Then we cut to LA where Marcus is there looking handsome as ever. Jenn comes out and they are so respectful to each other.
Back in Hawaii, it’s the next day. Jenn tells Jesse she’s going to propose to Devin!!!
Cut back to LA and a v somber Jesse. WHAT IS GOING ON??? Jenn is there and is sobbing!!! Jenn says she and Devin left Hawaii engaged but then immediately Devin started pulling away. That he dumped her in a 15 minute phone call and that he didn’t love her anymore. That he refused couple’s counseling. That he denied ever being in love and that he regretted getting engaged. Again I say, WHAT IS GOING ON??? Devin comes out on stage. He apparently dumped Jenn then the next day, THE NEXT DAY, followed Maria on Instagram. WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH MARIA??? Seriously! Someone make it make sense!!! Jenn lays into Devin about his behavior and the whole time Devin looks like he’s about to laugh. So disrespectful! AND he apparently went to NY right after the breakup and went clubbing with Jeremy. To this Devin says can I not have a life? UGH!!!
Jenn is just in tears the whole time. Then, THEN, they show the proposal! They make this poor, heartbroken girl sit there and watch her proposal!!! And just before they cut to the proposal you can hear Jenn say “Do I have a choice??” when Jesse says can we roll it? I mean, I know it makes for good tv, but that’s just not cool ABC. Not cool at all. Poor Jenn is sobbing through the whole thing and she just looks wrecked.
Then they show us a preview of the Golden Bachelorette. I sure hope ABC pays for some therapy for Jenn. She deserves better than she got. Justice for Jenn!!! Thankfully, Golden Bachelorette doesn’t start for a couple of weeks. I’ll need that time to recover from this emotional wreckage BBs!!! Until then…xo 🌹
Bless Your Heart
