Episode 10 (Finale) - 3/11 - Bachelor 17 - Discussion - Spoilers

While I do believe they will have a wedding sooner not later, I absolutely do not see a wedding for tomorrow. I think they will have a wedding at some time when they can then disappear for at least a couple of weeks.... and that isn't now.

They may announce a summer wedding, though- I don't think they'll give an exact date because any shred of privacy goes out the window. But I think they might give a time frame.

And then again, they may say nothing and leave it all to the speculators.

JMHO, but I think they'll have a better success in marriage if they wait like Ashley and JP did, and get to know each other better. If they're in a hurry so they can have sex, then I fear they are making a big mistake.

I agree 100%

Just curious about possible scenario's for this finale that haven't been discussed (that I am aware of anyway).

You are right, but I'm not sure if we know just now serious that plan was. Like, did they do any planning for it at all, meet with a wedding planner? I didn't follow Brad and Emily media closely so I don't know if that was revealed.

We do know Fleiss has said his dream finale is to have the couple get married at the FRC. Hopefully that never happens. So the ATFR is probably the closest he'll get, and even that is crazy.

I don't think they're doing it this season because they'd be hyping something special, like the most romantic and surprising finale ever. Instead they are trying to trick viewers with a train wreck promo. Sean has not been allowed to say he's in love or if he has a girlfriend or fiancée. I think they'd be handling the media and promos differently if they were going for an ATFR wedding.

They will surely be asked - CH asks that question of every final couple. We'll have to wait and see if they answer it and what their answer is. I agree that an exact date won't be given just as Ashley and JP didn't give an exact date. If a wedding is going to be televised the show wants to control when this information is released so they get the best PR they can, which is understandable because they pay for the wedding.

I think as you do though, sooner rather than later. I figure if they've been cooped up every other weekend in a safe house, not able to share their joy (assuming it's joy) with family and friends, suffer the separation in between visits, leave the comfort of the "bachelor bubble" which bursts pretty quickly once producers stop poking and prodding them and managed not to kill each other over the last 4 months then they have a real good handle if they're going to make it or not already. If they're sure, why wait? I didn't and that was decades ago and it was no mistake.

It's okay. :Smiley: I wish I knew how to add the countdown onto the banner! That would be so cool.

I added the Countdown clock to our Portal Page. Let me know what you all think. :Smiley:
