I know I am late to the party, but I finally got back and just watched!!!!!
OMG, Nick what are you DOING!?!?!? He absolutely seemed very truly hurt and broken-hearted, but really did he have to "go there" on live TV!? Though, it was an excellent moment - I gasped audibly and grabbed H's arm, so much drama.
Have to say, not terribly surprised that she chose Josh. He seemed so...simple, easy. I think Nick was spot on when he alluded to Josh being the easier choice. They're nearby, he's sort of a known entity...I understand her choice.
Like a few others, I also enjoyed Josh's super-tight suit (WTF). Though, I actually DID really adore Andi's white "engagement gown." The other highlight for me was the baseball card Josh made for her - so, it was very cheesy but totally adorable. I can see the two of them making it down the aisle, actually.
Finally...what do we think of the next Bachelor!? Obviously ABC wants Farmer Chris. I would have loved Marquel, but seems like he did the other show (paradise).
The MM family is sort of split on Farmer Chris, though, it seems. I would enjoy it simply because I really liked the cheesy "theme" Bachelors they did back in the day (Officer & a gentleman, prince bachelor, actor bachelor, rich guy Firestone bachelor, etc.) Farmer Bachelor would lead to some awesome group dates.
Already miss my trashy TV fix. Thank god for Bach in paradise.
I read in the WaPost that there was a request for filming in Santa Fe that was denied. Isn't Ari from that area? Albuquerque? My money's on him.
mrshandy, going to look that up right now!!! I didn't even think about Ari. I wouldn't mind watching him - plus, he could be Race Car Bachelor. I need a theme for this next one

I heard that it was between Ari and Chris. Personally I'd like to see someone new that we don't "know" yet. I'm kind of over the bring back someone from and old season thing.
I would absolutely love if they chose Ari. His personality reminds me so much of H which I love, of course lol. AND he's a race car driver! (heart)
@shoegal - I thought I was the only one that liked Marquel. He had a wonderful personality too.
I can't stand Andi's personality so I didn't really watch much of this season. Something about her demeanor just rubbed me the wrong way. I think Eric Hill hit the nail on the head...she just seemed so fake, but she ended up with the right guy for her. The both seem arrogant and shallow.
1) I will be so disappointed if they choose Ari. I did not like him the first time around and I definitely don't want to see him for a whole season.
2) They should choose some fresh meat for the next bachelor.
3) When they showed Josh the morning of, H said, he looks beefier than I remember. Then he came out with a jacket that was about two sizes too small. I'm guessing he packed on a few lbs during the show.
4) I didn't like Nick or Josh. I hate the way Josh talks. Too fast, too rehearsed sounding. But Nick was worse. Socially awkward, couldn't make eye contact at all except for the last word or two of his sentences.
5) I had to rewind 5 times to make sure I heard what Nick said about them sleeping together. I was pretty shocked!! Not shocked that they slept together, but just shocked that it was finally admitted. I'd like to know how often the couples sleep together. I'd be pissed that he said that on tv. I wonder what Josh thinks about that.
6) I kept telling H there was no point in him trying to talk to her. There was nothing to be gained unless he truly believed she'd say - I made a mistake, I want you instead...which I bet was the thought going through his head. It was sad.
M & @shoegal, I would love to see Marquel as the bachelor. He is cute and funny!
And, he is very classy. He handled the entire drama with that idiot Andrew very well. Seeing him on the Men Tell All was great - I think Arie would be ok, but Marquel would be so much better!!

I remember reading an interview with a Bachelor producer several years ago and they said the "average" bachelor sleeps with 3 women while on the show. But it is never mentioned and always covered in euphamisms....fantasy suite, yadda yadda. I am right there with you that I can't believe he said that!!!
Also, remember what Nick's family said about him taking his last breakup really poorly? Seems like he is just the type that has a hard time moving on. I can't imagine him in sales, given how hard he has to work to get his thoughts out. Maybe he works better off a script??

Courtney's book (you should all read it!) is interesting in this respect.
Spoilers in white below:
Courtney did have sex with Ben (briefly) in the ocean and then 3 times in the fantasy suite. When Ashley was Bachelorette, she slept with both Ben and JP in the fantasy suite.
I loved Courtneys book. Borrowed it from the library. Now that is MM full circle.
Great idea - I just went and put a hold on our library website. For the kindle version - I have a serious love affair going on with the kindle lending library.
