The Bachelor Finale Recap- No Juan Pablo, It's NOT OK!!

My friend Amy is back with a hilarious bachelor recap!  This season was one for the books.


No, Juan Pablo, It’s NOT OK!!

Well, another dramatic season of the Bachelor has come to a close and I think all of the viewers, ABC, Chris Harrison and the rejected bachelorettes are in agreement….Juan Pablo is an asshat!  Ey yi yi!!!  On to the recap!

After Andi wisely took herself out of the running for J.P.’s  ummm “heart” we are left with Clare (the girl who was slut shamed yet continues to put out) and Neeeekki (the low rent Ali).   We are still in St. Lucia and the whole Galvais family, including the cousin with man braces, is here to join in the fun.   The episode was so boring I’m only going to hit the highlights.  First, both girls meet the family and have the same discussions we have sat through every final rose.  The only conversation of note was when J.P’s mom told Clare what we all have been think….her son is an ass and sometimes need to know when to shut up.  Preaching to the choir mamacita! 

The ladies go on their final dates, which amounts to their last chance to show the world just how pathetic they really are.    Nikki’s final day was pretty drama free.  But Clare bear, oh honey, this was a shit show!!  Clare and JP take a “romantic” helicopter ride, which to me looks like the WORST possible date as I would be convinced the hack flying the copter is going to run us into the trees or the ocean.   As they are landing, J.P. whispers some sweet nothings into Clare’s ear that drive her into a tizzy.  All she will say is that his words were offensive and something no woman should ever hear from a man.  However, instead of  hopping back in the copter and leaving his ass on the island, she takes his hand and continues their date.   She confronts him later that evening and J.P. does what J.P. does best, talks a whole lot of bullshit and somehow gets back in Clare’s pants….oh honey L     The reaction from the live audience is priceless.  My girl Sharlene is having none it and neither are our favorite couples Mr. and Mrs. Grown Sexy and Des and her 2nd choice guy (I don’t even remember his actual name). 

Rose ceremony day.   Neil Lane doesn’t even bother showing up to this train wreck but we do get a shot of a ring as our Rico Suave puts it in his pocket.   First, Clare walks up and it is super awkward because Juan Pablo doesn’t speak (shocker I know).  So Clare starts talking and talking.  Finally, J.P. dumps her and goes in for the good bye hug,  and Clare is all like “HELL NO.”  She lays into him for being a supreme douche and walks away….well done Clare Bear, should’ve done this back in ‘Nam but proud of you nonetheless.    As she is walking away we finally learn what Senor Shithead whispered to her in the helicopter….”I don’t know you that well, but I sure love f^%$ing you.”   Then , to fully what a jackass he is, J.P. turns to the camera, smirks and says “damn, glad I didn’t pick her!”  Wow, just wow!   But hey, he is just being honest! 

Nikki gets the final rose but no ring.  Now Neil Lane hates Juan Pablo too because he is getting gipped on his product placement advertising. 

We move directly to the live After the Final Rose.  Clare opted not to show up and confront Juan Pablo because she hates him.  I sort of wish her beast of a sister would have shown up to ream J.P., that would have been must see TV!!!    Then the “happy” couple show up.  Nikki looks super uncomfortable and Juan Pablo has a shit eating grin the entire time.  Chris probes into what is going on with their relationship and J.P. refuses to talk because this is a private relationship (that started on national TV…umm OK).  He won’t tell Nikki he loves her and is super vague about everything.   Sean and Catherine tell him not to “bite the hand that fed him.”  Of course this metaphor is lost on our ESL Bachelor, Chris attempts to explain but halfway in says never mind, he is so over this guy it is hilarious.  


This whole interaction leave the audience with a few mysteries 1) what was the planned surprise that Chris asked J.P about. which J.P. played dumb about (hmmm if you are an idiot already can you really “play dumb?”) and 2) what was the thing that happened after the women tell all that changed their plans.  I did some blog research yesterday and thanks to Reality Steve, I cracked the case!   Apparently, there was a monetary offer on the table for Juan Pablo to propose to Nikki at the live finale.  He made ABC think he was doing it but had no intention of going through with it and wanted to make everyone look dumb….pssst Juan Pablo….this is called biting the hand that fed you!   The thing that happened two weeks ago was, because there are so many Juan Pablo haters,  ABC put the kibosh on casting him on Dancing with the Stars.  He and Nikki were all set to move to L.A. to keep up their farce of a relationship for DWTS but that ain’t happening….EVER!  In fact I am pretty sure ABC wants to pretend this whole season never happened, as do most of the rest of us.
