Bachelorette Canada - Season 1 - Jasmine Lorimer - FRC - ATFR - Episode Discussion - *Sleuthing - Spoilers* #4

I'm sure every lead has left still having some feelings for their F2 but out of respect for F1 and not to lead F2 on, they have to leave those feelings behind once the show is over. However, the lead and contestants go on the show knowing how it's going to be so it is what it is. It's still a pretty brutal show all round IMO. Just how I see it and I still keep watching.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] he basically had to vocalize that in general all they can do is move forward & they'll all be very happy (or something like that ... watch the vid, don't take my word for it ). But to be fair, she didn't say that she still had feelings for him at that exact moment ... just that post-show taping, it was hard to reconcile being completely in love with K while still having feelings for "someone else" (which c'mon, if you're going to reveal that much, why have any pretense of vagueness then)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] yeah, this is feeling very odd, almost like a role reversal I hope the best for them, too, just for my own TV shipping purposes, I'm a little disappointed in her ATFR stuff, but I'll probably get over it in due time

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]  I guess I liked her honesty on the show itself but it felt a bit inconsiderate/insensitive at ATFR. I just realized tonight that I should have given past leads more credit for  their compartmentalization skills & consideration of their F1.

But I guess it's not like K is always the most considerate person himself  (he's not utmost aware of her feelings either when walking away from an argument to de-escalate) ... so they can work on that together.

But of course, this is just my reaction to this whole thing ... maybe I'll soften my knee-jerk reaction to this over time just like I kind of softened on K himself over time

Have only seen a few international Bach seasons and notice most don't have proposals so is this the first one ever? If so, congrats to the couple and good luck to them.

Exactly... and then even IF they can't help but retain some feelings, they don't say it out loud on national TV where all the F1's loved ones & all of the country can be privy to that info. They do the respectful thing IMO & publicly leave it in the bubble.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I can understand where you are coming from. And after such a season with "true love" story sold at the FRC, you just expect to see two people madly in love. So it leaves a weird taste in the mouth at first.
But I believe they will get past that and he will love her more for being honest at any cost.

US version and canadian ones have proposals. It's not the first time at all.
Others have a promise ring of some sort (ex of australian version)
I don't even remember what they do in french version but I doubt it's a proposal.

Yep, hopefully you're right, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] ... I wish all couples from this crazy franchise well, even ones I don't particularly like ... so since I actually really liked KJ on the show itself, best wishes to them  [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Oh wow. Somshe really picked Kevin, I got it wrong. I wish them well and hope she is happynwith her decision. Mikhel seems alright and he will find his own girl.

Its the end of another season and on to the next.
Do I like Kevin? No
Does he care! No
Does Jasmine care about my opinion? No
Does it affect my life if they make it or not? No

My point being that this is all done in good fun for me at least.
Its not that serious, its their life and their decisions and ultimately what I feel, think, say plays no part to a show thats is played back on my tv.
Now I go on living my life that they all play no part in.

Cheer to all

I have really liked Jasmine throughout the show, but she just seemed off tonight. I don't know if it was because she had to see Mikhel again and it brought up the old feelings or if something if just off with the relationship with Kevin. I'm kind of leaning to the latter since she did bring up...several times...that they have had some issues. Kevin seemed all in and trying really hard, but Jasmine herself seemed to be holding back somewhat. I can't see mama bear being all that happy with what Jasmine said. I wish them the best, but after everything, that AFTR was strangely a downer for me.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] JoJo & Des were also super sensitive & they didn't break down at ATFR like Jasmine did while outright stating they had to deal with feelings for the F2 post-show taping (although Des did have the whole Brooks thing, so ... )

Although at the end of the day, they're all different people who react differently ... I guess I'm just used to the US leads' behaviour.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] "strangely a downer" is kind of exactly how I feel about it. I think I started feeling bummed out when Kevin was crying about how she was so stressed out about the decision that he offered her "a way out" & that she could pick Mikhel & he would take it, bury everything down deep & figure his life out to which she cried that she didn't want to say goodbye to him. I found his words touching/bittersweet at the time, but now looking back & with her words at ATFR ... the whole thing actually seems super sad.

& then when Mikhel was saying how the important thing was that she was happy bc the whole purpose of this journey was for her to be happy ...

God, I don't even know what I was watching now .... maybe I'm just overthinking/overanalyzing it

After reading what you all are saying I can't help thinking about Jason Mesnick and Blake (was that his name, au`s bachelor that changed his mind). She did have feelings for both and when you rush into a decision you could easily make another decision than you would have made being in real life. I am not saying she did that, hopefully it works out, but it all seems a little odd.
