Way to go, umngirl! That was a fantastic way to commemorate your 1000th post!

You know, looking at those pictures, I'm struck again by how it couldn't have been more obvious that these two would be together in the end. And I still sort of can't believe that there were people who thought she was going to pick Ben. I'm thinking specifically of the picture of them hugging in the water in Fiji, the one where he's got that super cute dimple, and she said to him, "I've been waiting for you to get here. I've been counting down the days." I mean, really. How much more clear did she have to be? She all but told him straight-up on several occasions that she was going to pick him. And I think it's a shame that some people get so caught up in "THE EDIT!!!" that they can't see what's happening right in front of them. "But an F1 has never had the jealous edit before!" "He can't be F1 because he's getting the chemistry edit!" "Sure, she was edited as telling JP first and privately about Bentley, but she might have had a talk with Ben that we just didn't see!" "He can't be F1 because his dates don't last all day!" "Ashley didn't bring a gift for his family so it means he's not F1!" Edit, schmedit. Sometimes a cupcake really is just a cupcake. :27:

Watching this now is even better, knowing her story about listening to "Hazy" while she was in Fiji. heartbeat

Everyone should seriously read this before the next season begins. Forget about the all-important ( :dripdrip

) edit and stop concocting crazy theories. Just open your eyes and see what's happening right in front of you.

umngirl, thanks for the wonderful memories. Those two are fantastic!! :sprinklehearts

Heh. You mean like the one that Nicki's pregnant with Ben's baby, or that Courtney and Lindzi are going to hook up after the finale? Those theories are the only things keeping me interested in this season! rotfl

Also in that scene, she starts to show him on her fingers exactly how she was counting down each day. Aww! So cute.

And EE, say it ain't so!! The almighty edit doesn't know everything?! Wha?!
