On the night of the actual finale my local TV was running the memorial for the victims of the Aurora movie theater shooting. Kinda puts things into perspective. With the unscheduled delay, my DVR caught the first half of the show, getting me through the Arie farewell and up to Jef getting ready to propose. Good enough. Congratulations on, what, two or three months of happiness? By now, Emily & Jef are unofficially broken up, official declaration to follow. Apparently Courtney and Ben are recently broken up as well. Ali and Roberto, also done. The only loose end left is what's-her-anorexic-hand-talker and bald-nice-guy-from-New-York. Ashley! and...I want to say something like Jon. (This is how profoundly I care about these people.)
But of course I'll be tuning in for the next really entertaining train headed for a wreck. The victim at the front of the train? Sean Lowe, the blonde beefcake. Let's just hope they don't cast any of Emily's friends from the park. See you in January!
