After the Rose will air tomorrow night at 7:00 CST.

So, is it 'After the Final Rose' or is it 'Women Tell All??'
I am so confused . . .
It is after the final rose and there will be some of the people he let go on there
Can't wait!!!
Andy was on 96.5 this morning with Sam Malone in Houston ... he sounds like a cheese-ball on the radio, too! Between him & Sam, I don't know who's cheesier!!!
GO BEVIN!!!!!
I happened to say this to a friend of mine, and she suggested I post it on here:
I think that Andy is the biggest tool in the shed and he deserves to be with Bevin because she has been the biggest hoe of the season...
*note*
I typically don't call people Hoe's- it just went along with the Tool joke. But remember- she did ask Andy to "examine" her.
I rest my case.
(Plus- we like Tessa and don't want her to ruin her LIKE Life.)
Can't wait for tonight? Are we there yet???
GO TESSA!!
So many people are bashing Bevin. It drives me crazy! She is highly educated, heavily into social work (Andy likes that)and edited horribly on this show. I don't personally care for her tattoos, but that is my opinion. She has made mistakes in her life. Those who are bashing her, have you never made a major mistake in your life? You can't change the past, but you can mold your future. She had a crazy teenage marriage that lasted a few years. Since then she has received her Bachelors degree and is almost through with her Masters degree. That should tell you something about her resilience and strength of character. Have you never made-out with a guy you are crazy about? Just because the editing only shows that side of their relationship doesn't mean there wasn't so much more to it...come on guys, give her a break. I like Tessa a lot and wanted her to "win" until I found myself defending Bevin all the time. Now I kinda have an affinity for the underdog! Go Bevin!!!
Neither one of these girls are cute. What on earth is he thinking?
Anon 5:27 -- thankfully he's not thinking like you, it seems. Just as your predecessor on this blog is now rooting for Bevin for having been constantly criticized, so I find myself rooting for those of us (the majority of women, alas) who aren't beautiful, with perfect features and a body to match. If Andy thinks they're attractive, and seemingly he does, why do YOU care?
I predict Tessa gets the final rose along with the ring. Why? it comes down to basic life economics. Simple. Conservative Navy pilot doctor will not pick liberal, tattooed Bevin. - Kathy
I am so 'like' excited about tonights show!!! Yet sad...cause I'm going to miss my monday nights and tuesday recaps! Thanks Lincee for making this season even more interesting and involved for all of us!
BTW I'm routing for Tessa tonight, even though Bevin was my pick after the first night. Even though she started to annoy me, I still figured she'd go far. Was surprised with many of you though that she made it through last round (Bevin). Great editing ABC!! I think Fox's Next Top Model could take some hints from you. Half way through that show I can always tell who is going by how they've edited....not so creative there.
And I just need to get a live outside of reality tv!! hehe.
Anon 6:12! Thank you so much! I hate when people say that they "aren't cute" - are you kidding me? what are you? A super model? I mean geez.
Tessa's muffin joke:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/13/science/13tier.html?ex=1179892800&en=7efdf2bd94427c3a&ei=5070
She's a schemer, I'm pulling for Bevin.
Bevin does that clenched jaw talking thing.
Okay, I stand corrected about Bevin. She handled herself very gracefully with Andy's parents. She was very open and warm. Her smile put everyone at ease and that is not an easy situation. The tattoos are still quite annoying and her quasi religion. But she seems sincere and intelligent. My bad.
good lord, the suspense is killing me!
all along i've thought tessa, and now i'm leaning toward bevin.
andy seems so desperate to hear that someone loves him. it's like in grade school...'do you like me? yes, no, maybe.'
i understand wanting to know if you're on the same page as someone. but he seems starved for affection.
i don't blame tessa, i'd have a hard time expressing my emotions under those circumstances too.
okay, good thing we're not all playing a drinking game with 'journey' or 'love' being the drinking word.
Okay, this is killing me. I'm thinking Tessa because they've played up Bevin so much and Tessa was harder to get. Though I wouldn't want him. He said "I freakin love you" to both of them. How sad it that. Whoever he picks upon watching the show will know that he said the same exact thing to the other. How not romantic. "I freakin love you", now eanie meanie miney moe?
I have so much respect for Bevin, she handled herself so well as compared to others and departed with honesty and class.
Yay for Tessa! He made the right choice.
Holy geez, where can I find a soundtrack to the bachelor? Its a grade above elevator music, but none the less, freakin awesome!
That was the best rose ceremony yet!!
What Chris tells the ladies as they get out of the limo: So, if this doesn't work out for you, do you want to hook up later?
YAY TESSA!!!
Bevin: "I put it all out there." Yeah, dear, that's the problem. You put too much out there!
Chris Harrison is married...
I have to admit I got alittle caught up with the proposal, and glanced over to make sure my husband wasn't coming into the room. They are so cute together. As always, I hope that they are happy.
Bevin had better body art than the art on Andy's parents' walls. Did you SEE the sad clown on the wall?
OMG!!! Thank GOD he picked Tessa!!!!
Yay, Tessa!!! They seem so happy. Can't wait for the After the Final Rose tomorrow.
Okay, a shout out to Bevin. We've all been there. I dated quite a few idiots before I found my husband at 30. You just haven't dated the right one yet. There's an old expression everybody knows but it's so true. "What's for you doesn't go bye you". He wasn't the one for you. He was way too conservative. And girl, if you have a million tattoos you can't date a conservative guy who's going to bring you home to his parents. And when his parents ask about your religion. Do not end the sentence without God being the focal point. Seriously, that's all they wanted to hear. You'll find the right guy. It's not you. This happens to everybody. You just haven't met the right one yet. And when you do, you'll know because it will be so easy, a perfect fit. You're an intelligent, genuine person, just hang in there!
randomness on final rose ceremony:
- windiest day ever
- hair everywhere
- plastic flower pots - kept waiting for one to blow over
- chip on table corner they showed over and over, could they have not turned the table?
- tessa had an 'oh f**k' look on her face when he said he chose her
oh, and from his earlier date with tessa. i walked out of the room so i might've missed something, but what was up with that little kiddie blow-up pool toy they had in the ocean?
He is SUCH a tool; every word out of his mouth sounds scripted. But I have to admit it, I'm glad he chose Tessa, she seems very genuine to me, and I foolishly hope they are happy together.
Nah, that wasn't an "oh f**k" look on her face . . . she was nervous and I think that was relief on her face. For some reason she is into him.
I am soooo glad he picked Tessa, now I can watch another season! I hope they really get married, that would be refreshing...
'it was wunnerful to be on this journey to find true love.'
quick...who am i?
hahaa..... :o)
i'm glad he chose tessa too.
Bevin, if you are out there...
Bless your heart, and good for you for not saying a word when Andy told you he loved Tessa more!
I'm sure the intern was prodding you to say something, anything, like "Oh, I just want you to be happy." blah, blah, blah...but I'm glad you ignored the prodding and stuck with your feelings. You were truly shocked, and I felt for you- but 10:09pm is right, the right guy will find you!
I can't wait to see Andy and Tessa tomorrow, I loved the clip of them at the end, and HELLO there were the dogtags!
Host Chris, you must explain the dog tags! Oh, wait, I fast forwarded through their date, so if I missed the explanation my bad...someone tell me!
Hi Jayhawk! All is well down here! Have a great summer!
another observation:
even as he was dismissing her, andy was still sneaking a peak at bev's boobs after he hugged her.
Yes, the dog tags at the very end. Same as the hometown date. Foreshadowing?
Did you see Andy start to grab Bevin's boob in the helicopter!!
Can't wait for the recap! Lincee has so much material this week -operation soul mate" for one thing!
Bless his heart!
I don't think it's a soundtrack so much as a continuous loop of "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong"
Hey everyone,
Be sure to watch the VIEW tomorrow 5/22/07 because Andy and his new fiancee' will be on.
Anonymous 4:42pm, Are you Bevin???
Was it me or did Bevin look 10 times prettier in this episode than previous episodes... maybe it was because she did not whine much ...
And did you notice that Andy was practically all over her while watching his old home movies. I was thinking that for sure, she was the one he would pick.
My husband (who was a Naval Officer) loved the gift that Tessa gave Andy !! He says we officers love that stuff !!
Was anyone thinking - wait a minute, Tessa and Andy are in the ocean without microphones...?
They could have said a lot to each other then.
Andy: I am getting tired of chasing you.
Tessa: Like, I know... Like, I am coming around...
Bad choice with Tessa, Andy. She's not going to be with you at the end of all this hoopla. There's just not any chemistry there. Nice try though. I know you both genuinely WANT it to work, but there has to be chemistry on top of everything else, or you have... a nice friend.
Good luck to all three of them.
Soolidge
I agree w/ 12:19.
In addition:
It's about who he saw last. He has no idea who HE is. He's totally & completely in love with being in love. Doesn't matter who she is.
I hope they all can find happiness somewhere.
Why did they bill this as the most romantic story we'll ever see? The only romance I saw was with Bevin. The proposal seemed scripted and lacked any passion whatsoever. It sounded as if he were running through a job resume qualification. I'm sorry I left the gym early to come home and watch...won't waste time watching in the future.
did anyone notice the weird chest scratching Andy did to Bevin when they were in the helicopter? yet another priceless moment that reminds me why i watch this show.
did anyone notice that Andy's face when he left Tessa's room... He looked like he had been crying.
did it seem that Andy was a lot more affectionate towards Bevin tonight than with Tessa?
A few classic moments:
The clown painting on the wall of Andy's folks' home! What the ????
Andy doing the chimp thing, scratching/grooming/grabbing Bevin's chest in the chopper!
Dog tags -- now you see 'em, now you don't!
Bevin telling Andy's grandma and mother about sexual dysfunction in post-menopausal women!
And a question: what does Bevin's shoulder tattoo say?
I think Andy realized that he'd made a HUGE mistake when he had to tell Bevin goodbye. I think if he could've he'd have changed his mind.
I also think/KNOW that the main reason he picked Tessa was because she would make the perfect (looking/acting) navy wife - "beautiful and sophisticated". Not much substance between them.
Did anyone notice Andy had a big wet stain on the back of his sweat pants when he left one of their places? Nice.
Anon 1:29am -- Give the credit to ABC editing. They were doing their damnedest to leave us wondering who was Andy's choice.
All along we've been commenting about how well Tessa "played" Andy, how being indecisive and playing hard to get was excellent strategy. But how about this: Andy actually beat her at her own game, first by insisting that she tell him how she felt, and second, by turning the tables on her, with Bevin! Think about it!
The editors blew it. One of the early teasers showed Andy on bent knee and looking up at his choice. You could also see a portion of her blue dress. Thanks TIVO!
I think it was mean of Andy to say, "I'm so frickin' in love" to Bevin. Not cool. No wonder she was so confident going in. Who wouldn't be with a guy saying, "I love you"? I'm sure she never thought he was saying that to Tessa.
I think Andy "loved" them BOTH. Whoever he was with -- if they "loved" him, he "loved" them frickin' back. It's that simple. The last one he was with was Tessa. Therefore... she won.
PLUS, the collage. OMG... the way to a man's heart apparently. Now we all know! What a relief.
Lincee... dying for your take on all of this.
I only saw the very end... most of him booting Bev and then asking Tessa. MAN... they really edited that proposal. If you watched his jaw movement didn't match what he was saying. I wanted to hear it all! Because honestly, I didn't see a lot of romance or love there. But then again, I think Bevin is just a much more emotional person than Tessa. In the long run, thats probably not so great for the conservative Navy man anyway.
Can't wait for the Women Tell All tonight!!!!!
Hey Morons. ...
The whole show is edited...they (producers) wanted you to think he was going to pick Bevin and showed no chemistry with Tessa....BTW, doesn't anybody read The Enquirer in the check-out lane?? They printed 2 weeks ago that he was spotted with Tessa since the show...this is not new news..
Hello "Rude" 9:02~
It's just a show that us girls like to watch and laugh about! So, calm down and stop calling names!
Apparantely they are not engaged anymore. E-News spilled the beans. Who is surpirsed? Not me!!
I heard that also. They are not together anymore.
<< It's about who he saw last. He has no idea who HE is. He's totally & completely in love with being in love. Doesn't matter who she is. >>
I totally disagree with this.
If he was 'in love (only) with being in love,' he would have chosen Bevin, the fawner and the easy choice. He would KNOW that she would adore and idolize him, which is appealing to most guys.
But instead, Andy chose Tessa, who is more of a risk. He sees "potential" with her.
I think that, if Andy was in this for real, that he and Tessa have a great chance to make it. He obviously WANTS Tessa, or he would not have chosen the one he had to woo.
I don't believe Tessa was playing him at all. This show took place over, what, 5-6 weeks? If a guy you like is dating other women too, do you KNOW that you love him in 6 weeks? No way. And you're on tv, for crying out loud, and expected to bare your soul? Can you say "awkward?!" Unless you're just there for the publicity . . .
Now, they had "super special one-on-one time," sure. But, still. With cameras in your face 24/7 and producers telling you to say this/that or not say this/that - - it's not 'reality,' which is why so many couples have broken up.
But Andy choosing Tessa, to me, means that he chose the one he liked the best - - yes, partially because she ended up opening up to him and admitting her feelings. But if he was just 'in love with being in love,' he would have gone with the one that was a sure bet - - the one who was obviously 'in love' with him the whole time, and that was Bevin.
I'm glad he chose Tessa. Editing or not, Bevin was too needy to be a military wife.
I mean, hellooooo!!!
She told Andy's parents that she'd "do everything she could to avoid a long-distance relationship." Well, then, Bev - you should have left the show right then because you obviously don't know what it means to be a military wife, where often, you don't even have the luxury of a phone call every day, particularly during war time.
I am glad Andy chose Tessa - - I think they do have real potential.
Anon 11:52pm
No, I'm not Bevin, but I have read her bio and articles about who she really is, not the Bevin that was edited for this tv show. She seems to be a fantastic human being.
I hope the rumors that they are not engaged are not true. Call me crazy, but it seems like they are going to be really happy. Just something about how they interacted at times (and especially after the show last night) leads me to believe they really might work out!
I don't get how people say there was no chemistry between Tessa and McMaverick . . . she was just reserved the whole time rather than coming out all guns blazing. It would be really difficult to bare one's heart and soul to ABC intern on camera day after day. She seems very classy.
PS: Hello, BFF Jenn!!! Thanks for the summertime wishes. I hope Texas is treating you well :)
We played a drinking game last night while watching the Bachelor, since we had guys with us and that was the only way they'd watch. Everytime Tessa said "like", Bevin cried, or our Bachelor said "awesome", we took a drink...there was a LOT of drinking going on. I think by the end, everyone had had 4 or 5 beers.
Go Tessa!!!! So glad she won. :)
So is it confirmed that Tessa broke her agreement with ABC by letting the news slip? If so, what will happen to her? Someone mentioned a $5 million confidentiality clause, but I’m not sure I understand how that works. Obviously, they aren’t getting paid that much to do the show, and the average joe doesn’t have a fraction of that money to pay up if they speak up. So what exactly is the deal? Would she lose something they would have given her if she kept quiet, or would they take something from her?
Unless I’m mistaken, ABC has so far not commented on the "leak" (whether it happened or not) which I find telling. Any thoughts?
Apparently, at their up-fronts (where the networks announce their fall lineups to sponsors, media etc.) ABC showed a clip of Andy swinging Tessa around and just basically showed everyone who it was that won. I read about it on eonline. SO they probably don't have much to say to Tessa if they leaked it to the media too.
I have been wondering the same thing. Since it has now been proven that page 6 was correct in their spoiler--what happens now?
I wish everyone would leave Bevin alone. She is gorgeous, free and fun loving--that would definitely have helped Andy come out a little bit more. She's definitely doing something right to be in the final two. Considering that Tessa would have given up in the first two weeks if Andy didn't carry her through to the end. Talk about whiney!!!
The page six spoiler has NOT really proven true.
The story was that Tessa drank too much and was overheard by (or told) a reporter that she had won and that Andy had proposed but that SHE HAD DECLINED, but that they are still together.
I think the whole story is fabricated - - Tessa DID accept his proposal, but at first, it seemed like she wouldn't, if he asked, because she was so 'closed off' a bit, for a while.
So, that would have been an easy story to make up, and to believe, no?
I think that someone was just trying to start a rumor.
My absolute favorite moments of last night's episode:
Bev gives Andy a watch. Andy says, "I gave YOU a watch." And he sounds exactly like Forrest Gump. I swear he was gonna end the sentence with "Jenn-ay".
Tess gives Andy a collage circa junior high with words cut out from magazines. Andy is BLOWN AWAY by this and says my favorite line of the whole season:
"Where did you get these WORDS???"
Tessa, not even knowing how to even answer this ridiculous question says, "Um, in...writing(s)..?"
OH. MY. GOSH. Hysterical.
Well, I'm happy he chose Tessa. She was classy and elegant through the whole thing. She was also honest about her feelings regarding the process. (although she knew how that process worked, so if she couldn't handle it, why was she there?). She had a whiney snap, but nothing like Bevin did.
Bev on the other hand was whiney through the whole thing and cried in more episodes than not. She manipulated dates to her advantage and seemed to be too alpha dog around the other women. I didn't think she was attractive at all and her nose kept getting in the way of their kisses. I also thought she had "man hands". But hey, everyone has different opinions of what attractive means to them, so Andy must've saw something in her other than potentially great sex. I'm sure after last nights episode, many of the rejected women were laughing at her, just like I was.
About the visit to the parents...
Yes, I saw that clown pic. What was that? They showed it several times too at different angles. Nothing too embarassing about having your grandpa say "but Bevin turns him on". I nearly died when grandpa got all horned up over Bev.
The drinking game...whenever he says "adventure" "looking for love" "electricity" one drink "electricity in my veins" two drinks. When Tessa says "umm" or "like" and whenever andy and bev have inappropriate touching. ANyone catch Andy with his hand on Bev's rear end then when he noticed the camera, up to the back it went...lol
I felt terrible for Bevin. She had truly given him her heart and you could see how broken she was at his rejection. When she saw it coming, and hung her head? Heartbreaking. Props to Bevin for being a class act and not going all foul mouthed like other women.
Andy had to make the right choice for him. I do think that bland Andy will be perfect with bland Tessa. There is nothing wrong with bland, they suit each other very well.
And I hope that some amazing guy was watching this season, fell in love with Bevin and will find her.
I'm watching the View right now, and they are still engaged.
From THE VIEW: No wedding date set, but Tessa is moving to Hawaii. Andy says "we have to fall in love all over again in the real world". Hmm, time will tell!
Tessa, not even knowing how to even answer this ridiculous question says, "Um, in...writing(s)..?"
She said in MAGAZINES......
I was actually hoping that he would pick Bevin as well. I started to really like her.
We will see if it works out with Tessa, but, I doubt it.
I can't wait for your recap Lincee.
OK, I used to crack up over these women getting all worked up over the Bachelor.
NOW, I'm cracking up about you people getting all worked up over the women!!
Andy's known these women only a couple of weeks. Anyone who puts out, says "I love you" to a someone that they've not only dated for a mere few weeks, but also full-well know is DATING OTHER PEOPLE, um, hello....is this a new story? It rarely works out in real-life situations, what makes you think it will work on national tv?
You people commenting have known them for, what, like 8 episodes? And you are labeling people for what you've seen of them for a total of maybe 10 hours. So-and-so is bland, so-and-so is annoying. Some of you people are really upset about who got picked. This is hilarious. I wonder...do you care as much about the relationships of your own family, your co-workers, your friends...people you actually KNOW??
It's fun to comment on the show and the funny things, like - 10:31am's comments. It's even funnier to see those of you who are pouting and really affected by who got picked and your opinions on why they should or should not have!
On the VIEW this morning:
Andy says there were a lot of hours of conversation between them off camera...
Lincee, where are you??
Dying to know what you wrote about the finale !!!
Anon 4:42-
I am not bashing Bevin- I myself have tattoos, etc. But- I also know how to conduct myself like a lady- like Tessa did. You never saw her acting the way Bevin did. NOt that what bevin was doing was even that bad- but come on- the cameras are right there- and how you choose to act is up to you. Danielle didn't act that way either.
Props to Bev for having her degree, etc. She's not the first one in the history of the show to be educated- she just didn't ACT like she was educated.
Why are you defending her so much- are you Bevin? If so- you handled yourself in such a wonderful way at the end- such dignity and grace and you kept your mouth shut. You didn't dog Andy either- which shows you really cared for him. Perhaps if Bevin acted this way throughout the entire show- she would have had a better chance.
can't wait for the RECAP!
Just saw them on the View. I don't normally watch the View, and now I know why. Those women are like nails on a chalkboard! I mean, they know that Andy and Tessa talk slow, right? So why keep interrupting to the point where the couple barely said anything? Altho, I was very surprised that Tessa reported that she had not yet watched the finale on tv. How could she not? Maybe Andy tied her to a chair in a basement or something, because I'm sure once she eventually watches it a breakup will be coming. I mean, who would want to marry someone who says, not just "I love you," but "I freakin love you" to both women in two days? Tessa is not going to stick with him, and I just hope that when he goes running back to Bevin she will by then know what a plastic man he is and will not take him back. He knew all along he would have to choose one and reject the other. A true officer and gentleman would not have professed his love, IN THE SAME words, to both of them, not to mention whatever else he did with them. He really deserves to be the loser in the end.
10:53 AM who said..
Tessa, not even knowing how to even answer this ridiculous question says, "Um, in...writing(s)..?"
She said in MAGAZINES......
Thanks for the correction, but who cares? That wasn't the point of the joke. The funny part was that Andy thought it was amazing that she had words on the collage and couldn't fathom where they came from. Sorry I didn't tivo, rewind, tivo, rewind, just to get Tessa's response right. Way to ruin a simple joke by wasting time correcting it. Go back to making junior high collages during your hall monitor breaks.
<< ANyone catch Andy with his hand on Bev's rear end then when he noticed the camera, up to the back it went...lol >>
Um, the cameras followed them around at all times, so I'm not sure how he would have 'noticed' it, since it hardly ever left . . .
Simmah down, 11:45 am - - I think Tessa's gift to Andy was creative and fun. I feel sorry for you if you feel that you had to give up 'collage making' and the like when you graduated from whatever landmark in your life society dictates you should have.
BO-RING.
And while I'm thinking about it, isn't the show "The Bachelor" itself quite junior high? I mean, as a viewer, I indulge my inner-teen just watching it - - the mindless entertainment, the idealist-romantic premise. The show itself is a little too junior high for someone like you, it sounds like. Not sure why you watch it, but it must have some 'draw' to you.
Methinks you just didn't like Tessa, but I think Andy made the right choice.
Ugh. I hate the phrase "methinks". Gag.
OK. Laughing at the person who STILL doesn't get the jist of the comment. No one cares about the stupid collage. THE FUNNY PART WAS THAT ANDY DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THE WORDS CAME FROM AND MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT.
See, let me explain something to you about humor. The joke gets less funny the more you have to explain it. Plus, when people correct a comment that has no real relevance to the joke, like 10:53a, it also brings the humorous aspect down a touch. That is the point. Not whether a magazine collage is a thing that 7th grade girls do for their first crushes, which it is, or whether I wanted Tessa to be chosen, which I actually did.
The Point of the original post: It is just funny that Andy didn't know were the words came from.
Obviously I watch the show for the entertainment factor. Obviously it is junior-high. No one said it was 60 minutes, sweetheart. I just said it was funny that Andy didn't know where the words came from. If you have any futher confusion about what I'm trying to explain, please reference "The Point" up above.
Geez, who know scrap-bookers and collage makers were so sensitive!! lol
What happened last night on "After the Final Rose?" I wasn't able to watch it.
I have to defend Andy in at least this capacity. He was (I think) asking where she found the words, because they were all relevant to the relationship and it must have been difficult to find them in books.
