Since I have about .3 seconds before my baby starts to cry (he is currently doing 'tummy time' on the floor and NOT thrilled about it) let me just skip through all the mundane details leading up to the final rose last night. Brad picked Emily, and the whole world rejoiced. Poor, 'widowed', single-mom Emily finally has her fairytale coming true! Brad made her (and our room full of girls) cry when he professed his devotion to her and her daughter-even after she had given him the 3rd degree about being a dad and beaten the dead cat into the ground about how NOT fun that is...
Chantel made a very classy exit, uttering heartbreaking words about how she could have been so wrong about him ever loving her at all....sigh....
Then came After The Final Rose where it all fell apart. WHAT in the WORLD has gotten into Emily? Poised, classy Emily turned into the Ice Princess. She was cold...stand-off-ish, and just...SO uncomfortable to watch. Does she love Brad? Do you think she is happy to be the final one standing? What about his temper? What about HER temper??? I can't believe that she is falling apart while watching the episodes, that is as annoying as when girls who are on the show complain about him dating other women. Seriously? Her whole demeanor was killing me. Her 'I love yous' seemed shallow and empty. I felt really sad. Sad for Brad.
When the final episode ended, I felt like Brad had made the right choice choosing Emily.
When After the Rose ended, I felt like he had definitely made the wrong choice.
What do you think?
In other news, I had a little gathering at my house to watch the finale, and each of us brought a little treat to share. There were some YUMMY foods consumed (especially by this stress-eater right here!) and I thought I would share my treat since it turned out so yummy.
So if any of you have ever heard of Popcorn Indiana popcorn company, they make delicious popcorn in all flavors....and my friend, Amber, turned me on to their cinnamon sugar kettle corn.
It is ADDICTIVE!!! So yesterday as I passed it in the store, I thought to myself, "Hey, I can make it at home!" So I pulled out my Whirly Pop and gave it a go....and it turned out SO good!
Here is the recipe:
Cinnamon Sugar Kettle Corn
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels
1/2 cup sugar
topping
1/4 cup cinnamon/sugar mixture
3/4 teaspoon salt
Pour oil and popcorn kernels into popper, spin them around until you hear the first kernels popping. Lift lid and pour in 1/2 cup sugar. Continue to spin until popping stops (this happens all at once and can be crazy loud there for a minute!)
Carefully pour into a bowl and then IMMEDIATELY sprinkle salt and cinnamon/sugar mixture over the popcorn. I found it works best to pour onto a shallow wide bowl instead of a deep bowl in order to get the salt/cinnamon/sugar mixture evenly on there.
YUMMY!!!!

Joy,
I think everything you said was right on!!! When she was giving Brad the "parenting is not fun speech" for the 10th time, I thought she may have lost the rose. I can't tell you how awkward that was for me to watch! Maybe her sweet demeanor was just an act! I also felt really bad for Brad! Poor guy.
I agree and it will be interesting to see how it all works out (or not!)
I completely agree about After the Final Rose. It was heartbreaking to watch Brad, I felt so bad for him. Emily was cold, and acted like she didn't even love him. It will be interesting to see if it works out for them. I hope it does, but I don't think it will! Also, I love Popcorn Indiana!! Yum!
Just devastating, really. I am so disappointed. I so wish I could be a fly on the walll in their lives. How will things all turn out? I am just dying to know.
