...OR "Chantal"...
My sister in law invited me over to her house to watch the finale with her girlfriends from work. They all brought some goodies to eat, & Kara had a cute table & some wine glasses ready for us when we arrived. It was adorable! I was hesitant to go because I haven't been feeling well but after visiting the doctor yesterday and getting tested for strep, mono & allergies, they came to the conclusion that it was just a viral/cold/allergy infection. I told Chad after being swabbed in the throat, pricked on the finger, & shot in the booTAY- nothing could make my day better than going to have some R&R with a girly show! So I decided to go & relax over there on the couch since I wasn't contagious!
I want to hear from you! What did you think, why, & what do you think is going to happen next?
Honestly, I loved Chantal. She was a free spirit, funny, knew what she wanted & wasn't afraid to claim it. Naturally that is my type of personality so I kind of leaned for her. But, Emily on the other hand was pretty dang cute, sweet as a button, & bless her heart went through some hard times. My concern is I just wasn't sure if she was ready. I was afraid that she was going to be where Brad was, last time. Don't get me wrong, I didn't think she was a horrible match, I just thought that Chantal would mesh with his lifestyle better seeing that he was a busy owner of bars & on the go alot. I could see Chantal up at his work hanging with him, but not so much Emily due to her lifestyle, attitude, having a child etc... Doesn't mean they weren't in love, or that it couldn't be possible but under the short 6 weeks we were able to view on TV, I thought Chantal & Brad went together a little better.
I wish Brad & Emily the best, they sure are adorable & I am sure are going through some hard times due to the public; who wouldn't!? They sure would make some PRETTY babies! That is for sure!
And the new Bachelorette, Ashley... any comments?
I have been in bed all day sick hoping I feel better tomorrow!
I'm a WV Girl, So I related so much more to Emily. I'm glad he chose her, because she seems genuine. She really had her daughter's best interest in mind, so I can't blame her for asking if he was sure that an instant family was what he wanted. I went through the same thing with my daughter and my husband. I had to keep asking whether or not he was sure this was the life he wanted... and almost 4 years later, we're going strong. :) I hope somehow their lifestyles can coincide and they stay together, but again, it is reality tv.. lol :)
ReplyDeleteI personally was hoping for Chantal. I liked both of the finalists. It was a good bachelor season. It was sad for Chantal though. She seemed SO broken hearted. :(
ReplyDeleteI, personally, loved Emily and hoped he would pick her. However, another part of ms thought that Emily was too good for Brad!
ReplyDeleteAs for Aahley being the new Bachelorette, I'm pretty bummed. I'm starting to get tired of them just giving the new role to one of the "losers" from the previous seasons. I'd really like to see someone new!!
I was hoping for Emily the whole time.....but I was a little taken back by how she acted on After the Final Rose. She seemed not to sure...I also wish them the best, and she is just sweet as can be, but I could tell she has another side to her that maybe we didn't get to see on camera!
ReplyDeleteI have watched EVERY Bachelor and Bachelorette....I am hooked!!
Honestly... I'm not too excited about Ashley. I think Chantel would have been a better pick!
ReplyDeletei really thought chantal was never herself, it was always like she was this over the top, super giddy person. she would act normal with the girls, but then totally different with brad. she was a front runner for me in the beginning, but quickly fell to the bottom towards the end. i love emily, she was the sweetest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteIt's obvious this relationship is headed down the toilet. The 'After the Final Rose' show was uncomfortable. I felt odd when Chris Harrison was playing therapist!
ReplyDeleteI was seriously ok with which ever girl he chose. I liked them both for different reasons. But I have to agree, EMily on the After the Rose show made me uncomfortable for Brad! You only get one shot at life....Emily - dear sweet girl .... GO FOR IT!!!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about how much Chantal would have meshed with his life so well until you mentioned it! I liked Chantal because she was funny and Emily because she was so sweet. I hope they work out, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for the Bachelorette! I like it because there are lots of cute boys and the guys don't bring drama, they just make me laugh!
Cute post!
