Blakely and Tony are moving in together. She's moving to Portland. Now he's getting down on one knee and proposing. She said yes.

Chris' family are deeply diappointed in his behaviour on The Bachelor Pad. His father told him that that was not how he raised him to treat people.

We find that Rachael wasted her time pining over Michael.
She is way better off without him.

Rachel lost big time. She lost Michael (a good thing) and $125,000.00 (a bad thing.)

I'm torn on this one. I feel awful for Rachel, but I can understand why Nick did it. That was certainly an interesting ending!

Hope this wasn't a setup for Rachel to be the next bachelorette.

Whether it was a smart decision for Nick, this guy is a huge, arrogant jerk. And that's being too nice. JMO

Wow, that was crazy. I can't imagine Nick will be invited to any future Bachelor parties. It certainly changed the game for sure. I think we all thought people would always say "share". I look forward to the day when they are both greedy and the fellow housemates get to split the cash. Not enough to buy a new car, but could pay off a few bills and take a trip.
I wish Blakely and Tony all the best. They just may be one of those odd couples that makes it. Does she have a child too? Or just him?
I feel bad for Rachel too. To think you've just won and then have the rug pulled out from under you. Wow.
And Chris is still as arrogant as ever. His family may be scolding him but he still doesn't seem to get it. He has a lot of growing up to do.
I was hoping they'd talk to Reid more, but I guess he went out too early. Would like to know if he and Ed are still at odds. I suspect so.

Blakely looked like she is totally at peace with herself. I don't think I've ever seen her happier. And I think she scored a much better man that Courtney did with Ben. Blakely can have the last laugh.
Nick was a total ••••••••. They didn't vote for just Nick, they voted for Nick and Rachel. A lot of those contestants were Rachel's friends - not Nick's. It sounds like they talked a couple of days before and they agreed to share the money. Obviously, when everyone was going on about how Rachel wanted to leave when Michael did and she got "stuck" with Nick, that just stuck in his craw.

I loved Nick keeping the money!! He was right, no one wanted to partner with him and Rachel did act like she got stuck with him. It goes against our kindergarten sensibilities to not share, but it's a game. The only loyalty she showed him ever was at the very end when she said share.

It's one thing to be selfish and take the money because no one liked him or wanted to be his partner but what turned me off was the way he acted afterwards.
He was not a gracious winner at all, no sportsmanship. He was still laughing in the car afterwards. Such a turnoff. He was a huge coward and wouldn't talk to Rachel when they walked backstage. Shows what kind of man he really is.
Rachel was right, he wouldn't have been there if it were't for her, she wanted to bring along her friend, Jaclyn.
I really wish Rachel would have been just as selfish as Nick and then the other contestants would have a little cash in their pockets.

Thank you Texannie. I loved Nick keeping the money. And everyone was just upset because they got outplayed by someone they gave no credit to. I think Nick made perfect sense as to why he kept the money. He did play a great game. If it were up to Rachel she would have taken Ed and Jaclyn and she still would have ended up with nothing.

I was happy he kept the $$$. BP is so high schoolish. No one really bothered to get to know Nick because they were too busy hooking up, talking smack about each other, over drinking, etc. Rachel didn't treat Nick very well and said things that were hurtful. I think Rachel lost track of the fact that she was playing a game. This was the best outcome of any of the BP's , well at least for me. Shame on Rachel for forgetting she was playing a game for 250K. She should have made sure that Nick felt like she was thankful that Nick was there to partner up with. Sometimes karma is a female dog....remember that Rachel. She acted like a complete spoiled, entitle brat after she lost.

Rachel was loyal when it really counted.
Nick was not.

I think that Nick did the right thing. No one wanted him to be in the "deserve to be here" crowd because he was a "don't deserve to be here". The others are just jealous that one of the deserve to be heres did not win and they got snowed by one the don't deserve to be heres.

I'll admit I found it exciting to see him go for broke and say "keep". He obviously did not like the comments from people about not deserving to be there, etc. However I do agree he was not a gracious winner. He was pretty nasty and cold Rachel after pulling this stunt. HE could have been a bit more sympathetic. So, this finale was just recently taped, so the people have the chance to watch the show and see all the private comments? Probably really impacts how people vote at the end. Kind of like early Big Brother when people were not sequestered and were allowed to vote. I have to wonder if the vote would have been different if they'd voted 1 or 2 days after selecting the final 2.

I think the finalé was taped maybe two weeks ago so Nick didn't see all of Rachel's ITM before the vote. Rachel sunk her own ship last at the finalé. What does suck is that I think most of those votes were actually for Rachel and not Nick. Maybe next season there won't be such an "us against them" attitude among the players.
There was nothing Chris and Sarah could have done to change the vote. They both left a bad taste in everyone's mouths with their behavior.

Yeah, the bigger issue for me than taking the money, was the mean spiritedness that he conducted himself with after. The maniacal giggling in the car after was just ugly.

Debbborra, I agree.
Ironically, for such a non-entity that Erica Rose is, her eviction is what started this mess. They were so hell-bent on getting rid of her, yet she wasn't a threat to anyone. None of the men were interested in her and she couldn't win a challenge to save her life.

Exactly Brenda and Debborra. It wasn't so much that he pulled a fast one on Rachel and took all the money, it was the ugliness that came after. No class at all.
