Thanks, Becca. Did your hubby ever get totally better? I sure hope so!

Yes, he finally came home 10 days ago. He's still doing a lot of resting and physical therapy work but he's doing well overall. We're so relieved and grateful.

We were just joking that he survived the Bachelor season..he fell ill in the middle of the premiere. Thank you for asking.

No song, no review their journey, is also such a bummer.

Sean did say he had more to say, but rushed it...and Catherine's was in her letter. But yeah, would have been nice to have MORE of them and the review.

I went into this season not really caring for Sean as the Bachelor and he didn't make me like him any better at the end. Didn't like the way he led so many of the girls on letting them think they were the one or he was in love with them. But I do love Catherine and I hope they can make it work. I thought them riding off on the elephant was perfect!

Might not love Sean so much but I really love his dad, what a sweet guy he is.

I love that elephant ride in the end.

i was tough on sean all season but I love them together, i'm a fan. I love how much he loves her.

Lot of activity on Catherine's dad FB page. Here are a couple of his comments:

Carey Giudici One big hurdle has been overcome today: Sean who never cried was moved to tears.

• Told ya! Does this mean pa-in-law will be returning to Texas to give the young whippersnapper the benefit of his wisdom?

• Carey Giudici He doesn't seem like he'll need much from me. Don't they look great

Also, it appears that Crista is the one who signed Catherine up to do the show.

^ I'm sure Crista signed her up lol.

Also, sorta off topic and I haven't been in this thread at all tonight.. but does anyone think AshLee, Lesley, Sarah, and Jackie will be potential for BP?

I don't know if I see Lesley (not good professionally) or Sarah (doesn't seem like the right environment) doing it.... and Jackie's so sweet that I'm not sure she's well suited, either. AshLee? She'd be a trainwreck, I think and I hope she wouldn't do it. Talk about not being able to control anything!

Jason Mesnick did a series of tweets about the show that are hilarious all with the hashtag "tweetingformolly" Here are a few:

Jason does looking at Sean's body make you jealous? #tweetingformolly

Is that Sean's hand on Catherine's tushy? #tweetingformolly

Jason is tearing up right now looking at that balcony #tweetingformolly

That railing looks awfully temping to Jason #tweetingformolly

Beautiful finale and I did cry watching Cat's reaction to her proposal. Only thing that always bothers me about this show is the lead going overboard with explaining how tough the decision is and telling the runner up they love them. And Sean went as far as to say it isnt even stronger with Catherine, he just knows she's right for him. I get they have to act more torn than they are but during the final rejection and ATFR, I feel they should be all about who they picked only. I find it a bit disrespectful to their final choice especially after they've had to share the leads with others for so long.

I loved hearing Catherine talk about her feelings as she arrived for the FRC -- that even though she left open the possibility she could get her heart broken, she trusted Sean.

I couldn't help but notice that despite her meltdown on the LCD, by the time FRC rolled around, she looked so calm and peaceful. And when Chris asked her if she was nervous, she replied "I feel good." Between that and the letter, she seemed like she was in a really good place by that last day.

And then she looked like she was going to throw up when she was walking down to him I feel like she (like a good Asian girl) was trying to come to terms with the potential loss, and stay poised no matter what was going to happen. The proposal and Sean's words broke her poise though!

On the contrary, I believed Sean have stronger feelings for Catherine! It tugged my heart strings when Sean was watching the proposal, he teared up and was asked by Chris, Sean said, "I love her soooo much!" (Sean still in tears while Cat looked on with much gooeyness!
