Sunday morning, update #2: Bach guru Mike Fleiss says something "historic" will be announced on Monday's Finale/After The Final Rose show:
Monday's live season finale is going to be historic!!! Believe me... #thebachelor— Mike Fleiss (@fleissmeister) March 8, 2017
They've already announced Rachel as the first African-American Bachelorette, so what can possibly be coming next? When they've teased the finale in the past the first guess is always a wedding. Will the newly engaged couple get married right then and there? It's never happened before and almost certainly won't happen this time either. So what's the big announcement? My guesses right now are that they're moving Bach'ette filming to Dallas, Rachel's hometown, or possibly the entire cast of Rachel's season will be black men. Beyond that, who knows?
Actually, Reality Steve says he knows:
For all those asking what this "historic" announcement at ATFR will be, I'll fill you in on Monday. It's definitely something...— RealitySteve (@RealitySteve) March 11, 2017
We'll see.
Update #1: I meant to include current Instagram numbers for the final four:
Corinne: 520,000
Vanessa: 457,000
Raven: 406,000
Rachel: 284,000
Original post:
Yes, Rosebuds, I am so over Nick and his season. In the second half of the Fantasy Suites dates, Raven either did or did not have the big O, Rachel was eliminated, no surprise, and Vanessa has some doubts. Blah, blah, blah. Finland looked gorgeous and very cold. Very, very cold. For my money, a warm tropical setting, with everyone in swimsuits and flip flops, is so much more romantic than the top of the world covered in snow and ice. The parkas, the hats, Nick's turtlenecks, it just wasn't working for me.
As for The Women Tell All, I didn't even watch. It's actually more entertaining to read all the various blogs and recaps that pop up almost as soon as the show is off the air in the Eastern and Central time zones. There was even a theme with the coverage: "What you didn't see" and note that there's some duplication in the stories. The reporters were all at the same taping, after all.
From The Hollywood Reporter: 17 Moments That Didn't Make It To Air, including the fact that Chris Harrison mixed up some of the contestants and Jasmine blamed Corinne's napping on her drinking. (I did too.) The article also states that the real reason the women were screaming at each other is that they were auditioning for Bachelor In Paradise, which fits with my ongoing belief that no one goes on this show to actually find love anymore. (Read it here.)
From Entertainment Tonight: 23 Things You Didn't See On TV, including a hug between Corinne and Taylor and that the taping actually takes about seven hours. (Read it here.)
From E! Online: The Craziest Moments You Didn't See On TV, including "Make Corinne Great Again" and "Vagine" T-shirts handed out by producers and the Corinne/Taylor feud went on even long than was shown during the show. (Read it here.)
Finally, barring a Dead Celebrity or a big Celebrity Divorce announcement, Nick and his new fiancee should be the main story on People magazine's cover next week. In the meantime, to tide us over until then, let's tiptoe through past cover stories featuring true love and Neil Lane engagement rings, starting with Jason M in 2009. What's most interesting to me is how similar the pictures are and how negative most of the headlines are. (Bachelor Betrayal! I Didn't Make A Mistake! I Am Not The Bad Guy!) Right now I'm guessing Nick's headline will read something like this: "Nick Proposes, But Will He Move To Canada?" (Or Arkansas.) We'll know in six days.

I couldn't find a cover story for 2012 Bachelor Ben Flajnik; if I remember right he and Courtney got bumped for a last minute news story.
