WARNING: SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU'VE WATCHED THE SEASON FINALE OF BEN'S JOURNEY TO FINDING LOVE!
Ben’s
season of The Bachelor will be unforgettable. If you’re a fan of the TV show on
ABC, then you know exactly what I’m talking about.
At
the beginning of the season, Ben made it clear that he thought he was
unlovable. With a handsome face like his, how could he ever think such a thing?
Ben was definitely the hottest Bachelor yet! His journey to finding love was
filled with raw emotion, ups and downs, girl fights, and 28 women battling for
the attention of one man… Wow… He had his hands full.
Last
Monday, Ben had to pick between two women he loved: Lauren and Jojo. Both women
were incredible and deserved nothing more than to be loved. But, in the end, he
chose Lauren, the woman he couldn’t imagine his life without.
My
opinion: I was always Team Amanda Stanton. When he eliminated her, I was not
only shocked, but speechless and pissed off. Amanda was one of the best women
on the show, and would’ve been perfect for him. And I can’t forget to mention
her two BEAUTIFUL daughters.
Once
Amanda was gone (tears), I was on Team Lauren. I flip-flopped back and forth
from Lauren and Jojo… a lot… But, I knew, in the pit of my stomach, that Ben
was more in love with Lauren than Jojo. I knew exactly who he would pick to
soon be his wife.
So,
in the end, Lauren won over Ben’s heart. He got down on one knee and made tears
stream like crazy from my eyes. He asked Lauren to marry him, in the most
beautiful way possible.
I’m
so happy for them both. They both deserve to be happy. Call me crazy, but, us
fans at home, go through this journey with these people, and get emotionally
attached like we’ve known Ben and the girls their whole lives.
Congrats,
Ben and Lauren Higgins! I wish you a happy and lifelong marriage. You two
deserve nothing but happiness. <3
P.S.
JOJO IS THE NEW BACHELORETTE!!!! Tune in May 23rd to start this
crazy journey with the one and only, Jojo. I hope she finds love, because she
really deserves it. Good luck, Jojo!
