Juan Pablo Chooses Nikki, Doesn’t Propose On The Season Finale Of ‘The Bachelor’

If you’re one of the 8.5M people who tuned into the two-hour premiere of ABC’s The Bachelor , you probably ready to embark on Juan Pablo‘s epic scripted journey to find true love on a reality show. But if you want to go ahead and drink all your wine now, the final four ladies in order of elimination are Renee, Andi (who somehow eliminates herself), Clare and Nikki. Juan Pablo doesn’t put a ring on it. Reality Steve, who ABC legally wants to wipe off the face of the earth, reports:

Episode 9 (airing March 3rd): St. Lucia Overnight Dates (3 to 2)

An interesting overnight date episode to say the least. Now, we’ve seen in the past a few people leave before the actual overnight take place. Frank left Ali a crying a mess in Fiji when he decided to leave because he wanted to be back with his ex-girlfriend. In Brad’s second season, before the rose ceremony started, he pulled Ashley aside and eliminated her to spare her the embarrassment of not getting a rose at the ceremony. And then in Ashley’s season, Constantine and Ashley decided it’d be better for him to leave before they even entertained the idea of jumping in bed together. There might have been others eliminated before the overnight took place, but those are the most recent ones that come to mind.

Well, Juan Pablo definitely had his overnights with all three girls. However, on the morning of the rose ceremony, Andi met up with Juan Pablo and told him she didn’t want to be there anymore and was removing herself from the competition. So the rose ceremony turned into one of those, “Only accept this rose if you really want to be here. I mean, REALLY want to, so we only have to fake this thing for another week or so.” Both Clare and Nikki accepted roses.

Rose Ceremony Elimination: None. Andi Dorfman eliminated herself the morning of the rose ceremony.

Episode 10 (airing Mar. 10th): Women Tell All

Episode 11 (airing Mar. 17th): Finale (2 to 1)

The overnight date portion of this season took place at or near Sugar Beach, which was where the rose ceremony was. Then for the final rose ceremony which took place Tuesday, November 12th, I originally reported it was going to be at The Landings resort. That was mistaken. The final rose ceremony took place at or near the Cap Maison Hotel. Both Clare and Nikki showed up, he didn’t send one home early or anything like that. And in the end…

Juan Pablo chose Nikki, but he did not propose.

Hey, gurrrlll. Don’t cry. I see a bottle of red over there. How about we open that baby up and see where the night takes us. Taco Bell closes at 3am so keep that in mind.
