This post has spoilers from tonight’s Bachelorette so if you haven’t watched it and don’t want to be spoiled, don’t read any further.
It came down to two bachelors who were both madly in love with her. One was devastated and the other was elated. We saw the final dates where she was in love with both of them and acted the exact same way with both of them. It was weird to see how thrilled she was to see them when they arrived in the exact same way.
Here are some things being said on Twitter about her decision to choose Garrett.
Blake I’m so attracted to how strong & independent she is -I love the way we challenge each other -I can’t wait to be her equal partner
Garrett she make me smile -her eyes r brown -my tummy firework
Blake: Being a survivor of a school shooting really changed my whole perspective
Garrett: You give me eagles
Blake: “we’re a great team”
Garrett: “she’s going to be a great wife and mother”
“I will choose you every day” – Arie, 2017
“I will choose you every day” – Garrett, 2018
Becca: please tell me you guys would choose Garrett…
Becca’s family: I like Blake. Blake will challenge you. There’s something about Blake. Blake will go to war for you.
Becca: …. ok so Garrett then?
“You don’t give me butterflies cause they’re small. You give me eagles” –Garrett This would have been the deal breaker for me.
Blake: “I’m attracted to how independent and strong she is” Garrett: “I like the way she says bag” #actualquotes
The man reason social media is in an uproar is apparently Garrett likes some Instagram stuff that was racist and homophobic and he believes that school shootings are fake. Or something.
Garrett is a 30-year-old man, at what point does the I didn’t mean it excuse not fly anymore when you are liking memes calling a child who was the victim of a mass school shooting a crisis actor?
Basically Garrett is dumb and Blake is hotter. Oh and Garrett was married for two months to someone who looks EXACTLY like Becca.
Did you watch this season?
This has been spoiled for months, so no surprise.
I hope they do well.
You seem to always want to state the obvious. I work really hard to avoid spoilers on shows like this which is why I don’t recap them.
I hope you are not a Project Runway fan, because that would be an issue.
Didn’t watch ONE episode after the dummy Garrett was caught with the social media stuff and she DEFENDED him! I knew then who she had picked…don’t like him OR her, but at least the second guy was saved from being tied to a dummy! So there is that.
Great quote comparison..Blake is a clearly more evolved than becca as well. So she chose the more equally shallow one and perhaps deserves the racist homophobe who offers an empty apology that “he offends you” which not actually displaying any depth or culpability about his asshole views. The contestants I want to win never do but they still suck me season after season. 😔
So b/c he doesn’t have liberal views, he’s wrong? Just b/c he thinks being transgender is wrong makes him a homophobe? You know, not everyone in this world thinks it’s ok to be transgender! I 100% side with Garrett on this. Thank God, people have different views or this world would be booooring!
Are you just getting home from the Charlottesville rally?
Usually the bachelorettes are better at choosing a fiance than the bachelors but not this time. Never choose the big, cute, dumb guy. I actually preferred #3, Jason but he would have to lose the grease from his hair. Sadly, I don’t think this engagement will last.
yeah, about Blake….I know the school shooting was traumatic for him but I still thought it weird for a guy his age to be still hung up on High School and showing her his football MVP? seemed too immature. I liked the guy from Buffalo but cant remember his name. I was wary of Garrett too much emotional baggage and family butting in for me….
Thank u TT! I too like the way you have the quote comparisons, & especially the appearance of the purple pen! I think Arie really pulled the rug on Becca and so now she wants a guy that she is always one step ahead of intellectually.
I don’t watch and always try to decide is the Bachelor the one to start with, or The Bachlorette, or Bachelor in Paradise? Lol.
Love eagles love speak (?) Very creative. Lololol.
Once I start, I probably will be hooked. 😊💕😉
I’m sorry, I think it’s love language, not love speak. (Or compliment?) Just find very creative and the visual isn’t pretty.
Thanks for the recap, 😊
Congratulations to the couple. Personally, I thought Jason was the best choice for her. Their relationship was developing at a slower rate but sometimes greatness takes time. He was definitely the most mature and rational of the three. Next season’s bachelor?
I’m ready for BIP.
I didn’t really watch this season more than a couple of episodes because I’m not home a lot in the summer and it’s not one of my must see shows, however I did watch the final rose and could not stand to be around Garrett for more than a couple of minutes. She is from Minnesota so maybe her type is redneck idiot.
I liked both Jason and Blake but I think Blake would be a more compelling Bachelor since he is so sensitive and wears it so transparently. He’d be a completely different kind of bachelor, and Jason reminds me of Ben Higgins (but Ben was great!).
As for Garrett, well I do believe people can grow and evolve but based on his canned comments last night I don’t think that has happened. I really hope for Becca’s sake Garrett does interrogate his harmful views, and finds this process transformative. I feel bad for her, but I can not support her complicity if he remains unchanged. If Garrett does grow into an empathetic person I really hope he shares this process publicly in a meaningful way. Here’s to hoping.
On ET or one of those shows Tuesday night, they grilled him about Becca being a carbon copy of his first wife and they both said they didn’t notice a resemblance. When they tried to pin him down on what his feelings were on the IG posts he liked, he said “I’m going to stick by my apology about you know double clicking on accident and not knowing what I was doing and I’m sorry”
Yeah I just binged watched a bunch of interviews and they both keep saying he didn’t mean to offend, which is not the point. Ugh I can’t believe I wasted 10 weeks rooting for this woman.
