cantstopwatchin wrote:Just had a chance to watch and have to say those were some of the most amazing proposals on TV. It's too bad the show didn't keep airing so they could've promoted that episode.

I hope Ben and Angela have worked things out b/c boy did he look smitten when he proposed. And Tim, wow, his proposal to Jenna was beautiful. And you know he must've known for a while to have all those accompaniments join him. I was blown away and am happy to know they're still going strong.

Jeeez. must of taken weeks to get that arrangement together huh? Can you say scripted?

I can't even find any TV Show on iTune :(

Blame the edit ... not the process ...

While we know that Tim & Jenna are together and even happier than on that finale, Ernesto's tweeted that both couples are still together so that means Ben & Angela. Considering that taping ended in mid August ... 10 months have passed so that means RFL actually has beaten Bachelor's track record with many final couples who lasted under six months.

Exactly. There was a lot we simply were not allowed to see, and the edits were done in such a way that it was obvious that RFL wanted to steer the audience in certain directions, to keep interest (relatively) high.

MVMom39forever, Once again, I'm left scratching my head. Please share with us how exactly you came by that bit of information? Not that it's a problem...but there's been so many agendas on this thread...hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore.

Gee, I hate to give up my "insider sources" but let me tell you exactly what I did to find that bit of information.

1. Instead of focusing on work during the day as I should be, I logged onto www.bachandbachettefans.net for a break.
2. I had loved reading/posting about SeanCat during DWTS but since that ended, I decided that I didn't need to read their every tweet in the fan threads AND I wanted to go into Des' season unspoiled so skipped those threads.
3. I kept scrolling down and saw nothing new with other reality couples who I enjoy keeping up with but did notice that there was some active spoiler threads on here for Ready For Love, a show that I had just started watching and was kinda/sorta interested in.
4. I started to read posts and especially the sleuthing posts from Litta & Noobs & Katiebaby and anyone else who offered some great clues as to the ending & current status of three couples. I had no horse in the race, but love a good mystery and am a closeted junkie for reality dating shows.
5. I visited RFL Facebook page and read media interviews given by Ernesto, Ben and Tim promoting show to see if I could share any insight myself
6. I became even more hooked when MissMoore started posting her insights.
7. I started following some of the contestants from Ready for Love on twitter and downloading the RFL AfterBuzz show to listen to while walking my dogs.

And somewhere along the way, I am pretty certain that one of these sources left me with impression that Tim said his relationship with F1 had grown stronger after the finale. Phew! My life sounds a bit pathetic but hope that answers your question.

:WAVEY:

just saw this funny twitter exchange that shandi had. truth is always stranger than fiction!

Well,
I thought that was a pretty lame ending. Did Tim actually propose? I thought he just gave her a house key.

I agree -- that wasn't a proposal from Tim. It was an 'I'm ready to call you my girl. And sleep with you' declaration.

Yes. Very classy. Sarcasm intended.

I am SOOOOO glad this show is done with. In Tim's defense, "once burned, twice shy." He's been married once and it did not work out. I don't blame him for not proposing; it is too soon. Why should he be criticized for doing what hundreds of thousands of young couples do today, including my own children, which is to live with their SO and see how it works. You never really know a person until you live with them on a day to day basis. Look at all the proposals we've seen on Bach/ette. And how many of them worked out? JMHO FWIW.
