This week was the last competition and the "live" finale. 3 hours of pure drama!
We start off seeing the end of last week's rose drama. Holly had to vote Blake off. Chris Harrison then comes in to tell them that who wins the next challenge gets into the finals, and it is in Las Vegas!!
They arrive at their challenge to realize it will be competing against each other in a Cirque du Soleil shows. Chris Harrison tells them that the last place couple will be leaving as soon as the results are announced. They have 24 hours to work on their routine.
There were a couple of them that are afraid of heights so that obviously puts some strain on their completion of this challenge. After watching what they show is supposed to look like, they all start to freak out. Kasey and Vienna typically don't take long before they start to fight. Graham and Michelle hit a bump with Michelle thinks she's gonna get sick. Kirk and Ella can't quite get in sync with each other. Holly and Michael seemed to get it down but can't get the right pace down (oh how that shadows real life). It shows them practicing into and through the night, well that is except Kasey and Vienna. You can tell that this will be a good challenge just from watching the practice.
The day comes where they have to compete. They had some pretty dorky outfits!! Chris Harrison announces the judges. Trista, Jason, and Ali. Typical ABC, always gotta bring back the alum with a little bit of flair. First up is Graham and Michelle. Their performance was slow but they were together and obviously have chemistry. They were too cute. Kirk and Ella are up next. Ella of course is over thinking the safety of the whole situation. She sucks it up and does it for her son and for Kirk. Ella is slow right off the bat because she couldn't figure out how to make it go up and down but Kirk talks her through the whole thing. They didn't stay in sync but they sure were cute!
Kasey and Vienna are next, she counts and talks the whole time. They did very well. Their performance was in sync and they added some flair. Holly and Michael are next. Holly has her doubts. They rocked this challenge. Michael was amazing. They were almost perfect. Jason even asked if they were a couple. Awkward. The judges talk about the performances and who should go home. Holly and Michael win the challenge!! Michael ITM's in that green outfit was hilarious!!!! Brilliant! They have to know decide who they want to take to the finals with them. Ella and Kirk are sent home for coming in last place, I hate saying that they give the worst performance. Ella cries and I hate it for her, she was so upset she let Kirk down. Two of the cutest people out there in this world!!
Holly and Michael have their work cut out for them. They talk to each of the couples about the pros and cons. Graham does get pissed that Michael is worried about the money. He keeps fired up about it because he thought that his friendship with Michael was solid. Graham was extremely upset. [Sidenote: the last little scene where he was so mad, he almost seemed drunk. and there are rumors that Graham punched Justin at the finale party. Several cast members have come to defend Graham and saying that it was pushing match. But that little scene makes you see that everyone has that side to them]
Holly and Michael decide to take Graham and Michelle to the end. But not without some drama first. They have to announce in the rose ceremony who the choose. Chris Harrison drags on the intro. Holly speaks up and announces why they should choose and why they shouldn't choose each couple. Michael is next to give his spill. Michael does the whole "Kasey and Vienna we......don't choose you". Michelle and Graham react with such emotion. Good people in my opinion. Kasey and Vienna act strong until the get in the limo where they break down. They act like the ran the game and that they were so super important. NOT!!! Can't wait to see what they say later on in the finale.
Next up was the 2 hour finale show. 2 hours, man ABC can drag on anything. Chris Harrison recaps pretty much all of the season. We discuss Kasey and Vienna, alot. William points out that the "most in love couple" didn't win anything. Funny guy! They talk about Jackie and Ames. Jackie can do so much better!! Jake is talked about again. They bash Vienna on her talking about Jake. Kirk steps up and says that there is two sides to every story and that she never owned up to her part of it. The crowd goes wild for that!! There are some great people in that crew, and some not so great people!
First up in the hot seat, Jake!! Jake shows off his acting skills. Vienna trys to cover it all up but the whole situation is so screwed up! Kasey, Vienna, and Jake are all fake. Vienna needs to not do reality tv anymore. Jake is rumored to have gotten a part on Bold and the Beautiful or whatever CBS soaps are still running. This whole thing was so overplayed and talked about and fake. The cast was annoyed with the whole thing. Please let's move on!
Kasey is second in the hot seat. Again, let's drag this out another hour. Really ABC? He talks about why he should have been in the final 4. We watched the recap of them argue and argue more and more and more. Then onto the commentary. Chris comments that it takes watching yourself on tv to realize what you are really like. Sometimes I wonder if Kasey didn't take acting lessons too because he was very good up there in that hot seat. This stuff was TV gold but totally gag worthy! Again, ABC the viewers want something different! Move on please!! Chris comments that he doesn't know if their relationship has been changed for the good or bad. Guess we will see in the future!
Next up is Blake!! Again, we relive every moment that Blake lived through. Blake watches with little expression on his face. He is forced to sit and listen to all the crazy things Melissa has to say! He is forced to defend himself for what he did to Melissa. He says he never developed feelings for Melissa, and that would be because the moment he met Holly, he was in love! Melissa is kinda nuts and you are forced to feel bad for both of them in this respect. Blake didn't always play a clean game but editing was responsible for Blake looking bad.
Then Chris shifts the focus to Blake and Holly! Blake lights up every time he talks about Holly! Guess that is why they got engaged! He says he is madly in love with her! Chris talks about how it was being in the house with Michael and how that affected his time with Holly. Blake tells everyone that Holly is moving to Greenville to be with him!
THEN, they cut to the clip of Blake proposing to Holly. Kind of cute and kind of weird! Holly tweeted right after this clip that she is "SO HAPPY" - it was also tweeted that there is rumor they were paid. Holly quickly responded saying that was false and it was all in the name of love! Lord only know what is going on behind all this!
Then the bring out the final 4! This is where it gets good!! Chris gets right to the drama. Michael knows they are moving in together but doesn't know about the ring! The whole cast you can tell hates it for Michael. It states it is super awkward. They should have told him. Bottom line. Blake steps in and states he should have said something and that he didn't want to rub it in. Michael states he is happy for them and congratulates them! ABC was wrong to do this. It is an all time low for reality tv. Michael is obviously the bigger person!
Then we discuss Graham and Michelle and their relationship. They state that they are closer and that Graham was there for Michelle during her father's death. Let me state, Michelle is amazing and you have to learn from her strength from her whole situation! They are seriously cute together!
Then Chris tells them it is time to vote!! Final questions come up!
Justin is first. Justin wants to know what Holly did for their partnership. Michael steps up and defends her.
Erica is next. She states she doesn't know who to vote for. Michelle steps up and states why they deserve the money. Blake questions if their strategy was correct. Graham states that he does not in any way like Blake and states that he tried to play an honest game. Michelle is so graceful during all this.
Now it is time to vote.
10 votes for Holly and Michael (Jake, Blake, Erica, Gia, Ames, Jackie, Ali, Justin, Kirk, Ella)
4 votes for Graham and Michelle (William, Melissa, Vienna, Kasey)
So Holly and Michael win it! Now for the big decision! They have to write to keep or share the money. Share means the split it equally. If one writes keep then they get to take it all for themselves. If both write keep, then it is given to their housemates to split evenly. Obviously, this was discussed before hand since it was played out the same way last year. They both write share and take their half of the $250,000~!
Congratulations to Holly and Michael as the winners of Bachelor Pad 2! Congrats to Holly and Blake! Hope they have a long and happy marriage!
Ben F. will be a wonderful bachelor! Can't wait to see how that season plays out! He is a super nice guy!! He deserves the best!! Hoping he finds it!! :)
That's all for bachelor stuff!! But 90210 and Survivor start this week!! Get ready!
