Last night, part one of The Bachelor finale aired on ABC, and it left us with one burning question: Why did Colton Underwood go after the only emotionally unavailable contestant?
Although we won’t know how the season ends until later tonight, the 26-year-old star seems to be struggling with his own emotions. And while Cassie made it clear that she’s not ready to be engaged, we’re starting to think that Underwood isn’t ready either.
Sure, he claims that he’s ready for a wife and family, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. So, why is he lying to himself? It appears Underwood is trying to fit the mold of what a Bachelor should do, instead of what he wants to do.
The producers expect the show to end in an engagement. Why? It not only boosts ratings, but it also continues the hype long after the After the Final Rose special. (Cough, Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham’s wedding, cough.)
