Nice pics all around!

@albean99 I didn't know Chris's dad lives with them. Did they mention that last night? If so I must have somehow missed that.

I remember them working on their house. It's beautiful.

Happy to see Kurt

I enjoyed watching the recap of Ali's season. I felt that she made an effective lead, being confident and outgoing. Her guys overall seemed like a good bunch. As much as I liked Roberto, I never got the feeling last night that he was the right one for Ali. In fact, IMO she didn't seem to be in the right place emotionally to make a good pick at that point of her life. I think that's why two guys who were emotionally invested elsewhere (Rated R and Frank) made is so far into the process.

The travel was amazing. I was entranced by Iceland and Tahiti. I can't wait until we can get back to that.

They also went to Portugal that season.

I think she really was into Frank. IMO He would have been F1 if he had stayed. Roberto and Chris had thought that as well and were surprised when he left. The fact that she tried again with him years after she and Roberto had broken up, just proves to me that he was the one.

Rated R made it as far ... as did Kacey ... because producers wanted them. They provided the drama in an otherwise chill group of guys. This group more than any other seem to have stayed friends post show. As you heard last night, some still talk, I remember them meeting up and going to some weddings.

The friendships that lasted post filming was so much fun to follow. Scroll through.

So blessed, we’ve had some amazing times over the past 10 years. Love you bro!

Thank you for all the photos @GuardianAngel. As I said, this group more than any other stayed friends and went back to their lives. This is one of those seasons that I enjoyed, not because of the lead, but because of the guys. Still the best F1 and F2 ever. They will be hard to top.

Yeah, that was my impression as well, that Frank was her number one -- which was an interesting choice, to be sure. He seemed like a decent enough guy, but something about him gave me an uncomfortable feeling, and I can't put a finger on why.

I've been reflecting on the relative lack of influencer-type personalities in earlier seasons. For the most part the cast members just seem like normal, albeit very good looking people.

@Amethyst I had the same reaction. I think the reason we may have felt that way was that we subconsciously sensed that he wasn't into her and was trying to force it.

As for the lack of influencer personalities in the earlier seasons, since it wasn't available at that time, we got more genuine people applying. They enjoyed doing something different, getting to travel a bit, making some friends and having a good story to tell about their time on the show. If they found someone it was a bonus. These days they just want to get on so they can shill and not have to work. They want to build their brand and have a podcast so they do more and more outrageous things to get noticed. It seems many get on because they know someone from the show. TPTB know they can rely on them to do what they are told and we get more and more fake, staged drama.
