Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette' season finale
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCI’m so happy this season is finally over and you’ve all seen how it really ended — and how beautiful that ending really was. There were more rumors, wild stories, and supposed leaks this year than ever before. I’ve wanted to tell all of you just how great this season really was, but didn’t want to give anything away and ruin the ending. Why anybody would ever want to destroy the ending of a show for you, I’ll never understand. Some people just have this need to tear down what others create.
I’ll be honest: Ali truly couldn’t have made a bad choice with her final two. Chris and Roberto are two of the finest men we’ve ever had on this show. READ FULL STORY »

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': The Men Tell All
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCI really wasn’t sure just how good this “Men Tell All” episode was going to be, mostly because I worried the guys were too buddy-buddy to give us any solid content. Oh how I was wrong! We shot this episode in a new, much bigger studio than the one we usually use. That meant we could fit even more fans in to see the show, which really helped crank up the atmosphere and excitement. I love hosting shows in front of a live studio audience.
The sit-down interviews I did with Ali to start the show were a blast. These little post-game chats have become a tradition now, and I love doing them. We shoot them after the show has been wrapped, so everybody has had time to watch the show back and really reflect on what’s happened. Ali was obviously relaxed and in a good place, so it was fun to go back over everything that had happened. As for the scenes you didn’t get to see, well apparently Ali didn’t remember all of them, either. It was hysterical how she forgot the space-helmet bit. I loved that our producer Cassie had the footage up on her computer, and we just brought it into the interview. Ali and I were laughing our butts off on that one.
We’ll hear much more from Frank next week when he appears with me on the “After the Final Rose” special, but it was very interesting to hear what the guys thought of him. I agreed with Craig R when he said this situation was very different than the Rated R situation. READ FULL STORY »

'The Bachelorette' instant reaction: The Men Tell All!
As far as stops on someone else’s journey to find statistically unlikely-to-last love on television go, The Men/Women Tell All specials are always my favorite part — juicy revelations, confrontations, and heretofore unseen (and highly entertaining) moments! But I don’t remember a special ever delivering quite so much in all those departments as this one did. In fact, this made me like this season — and all of the guys not named Justin or Frank — approximately 63 percent more than I did before. Kasey’s the best sport ever! Craig R. is a stud! Jesse’s even hotter without hair!
The full recap with a detailed dissection of the highlights will be up soon (UPDATE: Bachelorette “Men Tell All” special recap is now live) but if you’ve already watched and want to weigh in on Kasey’s kinda komeback or Craig’s powers of persuasion, read on after the jump for more. [SPOILER ALERT: Read on only if you've already watched Monday's Bachelorette. Seriously.]

'Bachelorette': Should Chris L. be the next Bachelor if Ali doesn't pick him?
Image Credit: Craig Sjodin/ABCI’m experiencing something new with this season of The Bachelorette: For the first time, neither of the final two men annoy me, and I like one of them — Chris L. — so much, I’m sort of hoping he doesn’t get picked. I know I’m not alone, which is why Bachelor producers would be smart to ask him to be the next Bachelor if Ali chooses Roberto instead. But here’s the thing: Do we actually trust Mike Fleiss to set Chris up with 25 sane women worthy of him? No. He’s got a TV show to make. The minute 33-year-old Chris decides to keep a 21-year-old who bites through a can or reads bad poetry to make a good first impression, it’s over. To quote Duckie from Pretty in Pink (because why wouldn’t I when talking about matters of the heart?): “I’m not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because I live to like you and… and… and I can’t like you anymore.” (Clarification: I do not actually live to like him, but genuinely liking someone who has appeared on this show is validation for watching it all these years.)
Should Chris L. be the next Bachelor? Let’s take it to a vote below. READ FULL STORY »

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': Episode 9
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCSomebody asked me via Twitter this week how the show changes after we get to the hometown dates. That’s a great question, especially because it really had an impact on what happened with Frank this week. Once we get to the hometown dates, everything is cranked up a notch. The guys really don’t see each other anymore — except at the rose ceremonies. The process becomes a lot more personal and emotional, and each guy has a lot more time to think about his own relationship with Ali — or in Frank’s case, to think about other relationships as well.

'The Bachelorette' instant reaction: Being Frank
Frank is as baffling to me now as he has been to Ali all season long. Part of me believes his decision to leave Ali for his ex, Nicole — as has been teased ad nauseam for weeks now — proves he’s just a Machiavellian “aspiring screenwriter” who wrote himself into his very own romantic reality plotline. Part of me believes he stumbled upon the most elaborate get-your-ex-back scheme ever. And part of me respects him for speaking his feelings now, lest he find himself forever holding his peace. This much I can say: Leaving Ali at this late stage took guts. How you feel about those guts is a matter of interpretation.
In any case, Frank’s Chicago Grand Gesture certainly stole some thunder from Ali’s romantic interludes with Chris and Roberto on Tahiti, though both suitors continued to be dreamy in their own equal-but-distinctive ways. (Chris = fun and sweet, Roberto = hot and sexy.)
The full recap with a detailed dissection of the Frank saga will be up soon (UPDATE: Click to read the now-live full Bachelorette recap), but if you’ve already watched and want to weigh in on Roberto and Chris’ continued dreaminess or Frank and Nicole’s happy(ish) reunion, read on after the jump for more.

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': Episode 8
Image Credit: Bob D'Amico/ABCI’ve said it before and I’ll say it again this season: I love the hometown visits. They are so revealing and such a good indication of who these people truly are. With that said, I can’t remember a season when the final four people stacked up like this. In my opinion, Ali narrowed it down to four great guys who all could probably make her happy in different ways. Usually at this point, there’s one person or family that makes this decision a little easier on the Bachelor or Bachelorette, but this wasn’t the case for Ali. On the contrary, things only got harder for her this week and it led to easily the most emotional rose ceremony we’ve had with her.
Ali’s week started in Tampa with Roberto. I did find it a little funny how Ali told a little white lie to his family when they asked about her first impression of Roberto. READ FULL STORY »

'Bachelorette' instant reaction: You can't go home again (unless you're on a reality dating show)
Oh, hometown dates, how you amuse me so with your bad upholstery and meatloaf and taxidermy and lawn chairs and suburban tract housing. But there is no time to ruminate here — the most important decisions in the history of the world must be made! So that they can be unmade in a year or less! On with the show …
We visited Roberto in Florida, where he looked hot in a baseball uniform, his dad questioned Ali about her rampant ambition (I mean, duh, she’s on a reality show, of course she has ambition!), and they summed it all up by dancing some salsa. We went to Cape Cod with Chris, whose all-too-real family and life proved once again too sweet for reality television. We learned about taxidermy and creepy basements and creepier freezers from Kirk’s dad in Wisconsin. And we pretended Frank lives in downtown Chicago while belaboring his insecurities once more.
The full recap with a detailed dissection of the homegrown fun, will be up soon (UPDATE: Click over to the full Bachelorette recap, now live), but if you’ve already watched and want to weigh in on Roberto and Chris’ dreaminess or Kirk’s alleged commitment issues or Frank’s appeal (seriously, please explain it), read on after the jump for more.
