‐ Tonight, on the shocking
season finale
of "The Bachelorette"...
‐ This is the biggest
decision of my life,
and I have no idea
what I'm gonna do.
‐ Tayshia has found the men
that she could marry.
‐ I am totally spun
outta control on this girl.
I know that I love you.
‐ It really feels like
we're made for each other.
‐ I am undoubtedly falling
in love with you right now.
‐ But is it more
than she can handle?
‐ Can I come in?
I need to finally tell her
how I feel.
I'm in love with you.
‐ Hold on a second.
‐ And tonight...
‐ Tayshia. ‐ Daddy!
‐ It's a shocking surprise
that will change everything.
‐ Frankly, I'm worried.
I don't want you to be making
the biggest mistake
of your life.
‐ Why did I do that?
‐ Can Tayshia trust her heart?
‐ I am so confused.
Oh, my gosh. This is too much.
This is too much.
‐ Will she get engaged
to her soul mate?
‐
‐ Or will she walk away
from love forever?
‐ I never wanna experience
that heartache
that I experienced
in my last marriage.
‐ Don't miss
the incredibly emotional end
of an unforgettable love story.
‐
‐ And it all starts right now.
‐ Tayshia sent me home
last week,
but I came back
because I'm in love with her.
‐ There's a Rose Ceremony.
What do I do with that?
‐ I don't know
what's gonna happen,
but I need to finally tell her
how I feel.
‐ I really care about Ben,
but I sent him home
for a reason.
‐ I should be long gone,
but there's a connection,
and I can tell
by looking at her eyes
that there's, like,
more under there.
‐
‐ I'm really nervous
because, like,
I know that she's got
a Rose Ceremony
in, like, an hour.
I know there's on her plate,
but I found a woman
that I've never felt
this way about ever in my life,
and I have to see where it goes.
Wanna sit? ‐ Hi.
I'm, like, so very shocked that
you're right here right now.
‐ I know.
I should have just told you
what I was thinking.
But I'm in love with you.
You make me feel unlike
anything I've ever felt
in my entire life.
And that's what
I'm in love with.
‐ So why didn't you
tell me earlier?
‐ I was scared. ‐ Of what?
‐ I don't know.
I never felt that way.
It was such an intense thing.
And I think part of it is, like,
I was so confident
that I would get a rose,
that I would progress
to the next week,
and I would have, like,
a perfect opportunity
to tell you how I felt.
And before I walked into
the Rose Ceremony that night,
Chris Harrison goes,
"How are you feeling?"
I'm like,
"I'm in love with her, man."
‐ So why do you tell
everybody but me?
‐ I was terrified.
I was terrified to tell you‐‐
‐ So, Ben, it's like,
down the road
and we're together,
so, what, you're gonna be‐‐
like, are you gonna be there,
or are you just gonna run away
every single time
something gets hard?
‐ I just blew it.
The way that you make me feel
is the way that I've been
wanting to feel
my entire life.
‐ I mean, I'm not gonna lie.
Have I missed you? Absolutely.
Look,
I supposed to have
a Rose Ceremony tonight.
‐ I know.
I understand that.
I just can't leave...
I can't leave
without telling you this.
‐ I'm gonna take
a little bit of time,
but you can come to the
Rose Ceremony tonight, though.
‐ Okay.
‐ And then I'll just‐‐
I just need to, like,
decide what the hell's going on,
because I'm not gonna lie.
I already have enough
on my plate.
‐ I know.
Look, I don't expect
anything from you.
I'm just here to tell you
how I feel.
I am in love with you.
- ‐ Oh, my God.
- ‐ I know.
That's to hear.
‐ No, it's not.
I just wish I would have
heard it sooner.
‐ I know.
‐ Because I was almost there.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
See you tonight.
‐ Okay.
‐ Thank you for talking with me.
See you tonight. ‐ Mm‐hmm.
Ben showing up tonight
affects everything.
And I just don't wanna
make a bad decision.
And I just kissed him.
Why would I kiss him?
Why did I do that?
‐ I can't believe
what just happened, happened.
She kissed me,
and then I blacked out
because I've never been
happier in my entire life.
She's absolutely incredible.
And I'm 100% confident
that I'm gonna get a rose.
‐ Walking to the Rose Ceremony
tonight,
I feel really confident
in our relationship
and where we stand right now,
and I think both of our lives
just align the best.
So I'm on cloud nine.
I'm so happy to be
part of the final two
and be meeting Tayshia's
family next week.
‐ Ivan.
‐ How's it going there, Chris?
‐ Good to see you, sir.
‐ Good to see you as well.
‐ How you doin'?
‐ I'm doing great.
‐ Yeah? ‐ It was a great week.
We both were able
to tell each other
that we're falling in love
with each other and...
‐ Yeah.
‐ To be open and vulnerable
like that feels awesome,
so I'm looking forward
to meeting her family,
to be honest. ‐ Well, good luck.
‐ Thank you very much, sir.
‐ Head on inside.
‐ I appreciate it.
I definitely feel like we have
the strongest connection
at this point, and, uh,
you know,
I feel that Tayshia and I
are ready for an engagement,
so this is huge.
I can't wait.
‐ Chris.
‐ Zac, how you doing, buddy?
‐ I'm all right.
‐ Good to see you.
‐ We're here.
‐ Lookin' sharp tonight.
‐ Thank you. ‐ How you feeling?
‐ Feel good. ‐ Yeah?
‐ We shared some
special moments this week.
Told her I loved her.
She actually said it back to me.
Big stuff. Yeah.
‐ All right, good luck.
‐ Thanks, Chris.
Good to see you, man, thanks.
‐ Head on inside.
‐ This week, I fell
more in love with Tayshia.
And I'm ready for a proposal.
I'm ready to do it.
But there's no guarantees,
especially around here,
so I'm just prepared
for everything.
‐ Gentlemen.
‐ What's goin' on, Ben?
‐ I wanted to
just let you guys know
that she invited me
to the Rose Ceremony tonight.
So I'm here, you know,
just to be with you all
and see what happens.
‐ Interesting.
‐ Ben's back, and I don't know
what this means for me.
Right now in this moment,
there's always a chance
that I go home.
Until that rose is on my lapel,
there's no guarantees.
I could go home tonight.
‐ Wow.
‐
‐ Hi. ‐ Hey.
‐
Um...
I was told that
Fantasy Suites week is, um,
definitely a pivotal moment,
and...
this week proved exactly that.
Obviously, you don't see
Brendan here today.
And that's because...
it just didn't work out.
And...
we have Ben.
Um, I'm still trying
to figure it out,
but I've just been
praying about clarity
and trying to figure out
exactly what to do
and how to navigate this
the best
because I care about all of you.
And so, um...
Ivan, can we talk
really quickly?
‐ What's up?
‐ Can we talk really quickly?
‐ Yeah, for sure. Let's do it.
How's it going?
Think I have
a new favorite dress.
‐ Thank you.
‐
‐ What do you think's
going on over there?
‐ I, uh...
‐ Given what she just said
about following her heart,
I‐‐I don't know if that
conversation's good or bad.
‐ How are you?
‐ I'm doing good. How 'bout you?
‐ I'm good.
Um,
with you, I feel like,
since the very beginning,
I think we started off
really strong.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And, like, we found that...
that trust.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ But also, this past week,
we talked about some, um...
important subjects that I feel
like we both needed to have.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ But there are some things
that, like,
kind of posed concern.
‐ It's so tough to tell.
I mean, I know that
she's thought highly of Ivan
this entire time, you know?
I'm sure she's just looking
for maybe some more clarity.
Perhaps she wants to‐‐
was unsure about something,
and I might be next. ‐ Yeah.
‐ You know? I‐‐I might be next.
‐ I wish I can say
that there were
a lot of red flags
prior to this week...
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And there haven't been.
It's just, like,
at the end of the day,
religion's, like, part of
my morals and my beliefs.
‐ I definitely get it. Yep.
You know, we found out
a lot of stuff about each other
and, uh... ‐ Yeah.
‐ I was definitely struggling
with bringing it up 'cause,
like, you know, all the girls
I have dated in the past,
you know, it never ended
because of religion or anything.
But I know that is something
that's important to you,
and I do apologize for that,
and I wish I did bring it up
a little sooner.
You know, that is the roadblock
for the two of us.
‐ Yeah.
‐ I don't know what to think.
You know, obviously,
I kinda hope he's gone.
There's two roses,
there's two of us up here.
So... ‐ Yeah.
‐ Look,
I really do think
the world of you.
It's just...
‐ I get it. No, I get it, Tay.
But, yeah.
‐ I'm sorry.
‐ It's all good. Um...
It just sucks, but...
I meant every word
when I was saying
I was falling in love with you
this week.
And, uh,
I just hate that
it couldn't work out.
All right. Ready.
‐ They're walking to a car.
‐ Best of luck, Tay.
‐ Thanks, Ivan.
‐ You deserve it. ‐ Thank you.
‐ Yep. I'll see you.
I knew in the back of my mind,
I was like,
"This thing could
really just be the b*mb
that just explodes
everything here,"
and it just happened.
This is definitely gonna
sting for a while, for sure.
You don't just fall out of love
overnight, you know?
I think this is a lot harder
than Tayshia imagined,
and I don't know if she'll
feel comfortable, really,
with anybody by the end of this.
'Cause I think me and her
made the most sense.
It's gonna be tough on her,
but I don't‐‐
she's not gonna pick anybody,
I don't think.
‐ Um, I just sent Ivan home.
And unfortunately,
there was just some things
that our future didn't align on.
He's an amazing guy,
but I think
this is the best way for us.
I wanted to go into this week
fully confident
with who was by my side,
and I feel really good
about you guys.
And this is
a very big deal for me,
'cause you're actually
gonna be meeting my family.
And I can't wait
for you to meet them.
So...
‐ I'm in shock right now.
There's two roses,
two of us, and I'm like...
‐ Zac.
‐ The only person
standing between me
and marrying the woman
I'm supposed to marry is Zac.
‐ Zac, will you accept
this rose?
‐ Yes, and I can't wait
to meet your family.
‐
‐ I'm very, very, very excited
to meet Tayshia's family.
‐ Ben.
‐ But I didn't think
Ben was gonna be here tonight.
‐ Ben. ‐ Yes, Tayshia.
‐ Will you accept this rose?
‐ Always.
‐ I know there's a possibility
of heartbreak, so...
Yeah, it's nerve‐racking.
Really nerve‐racking.
To love.
‐
‐ Last night was very stressful.
As much as I hate
that I had to say goodbye
to Ivan,
I feel like
I did the right thing.
I have two amazing guys
going into this week,
and proposals
are around the corner.
But I feel like I'm nervous
because I've been married
before, and...
I don't wanna make a mistake
and end up in a bad situation
ever again.
This week, Ben and Zac
are meeting my family.
‐ Yeah, I wanna make sure‐‐
see how she's been‐‐
whoa! ‐
‐ Hi!
‐ Oh, my goodness! ‐ My gosh!
‐ Hi!
My family is here!
I love my family.
My family's support and approval
means everything to me,
especially
when it comes down to a guy
getting down on a knee
and asking for my hand
in marriage.
Mom, don't cry, it is fine!
‐ I know, I‐‐
‐ Hi, Mom, I love you.
‐ I love you so much, baby.
‐ I'm really excited
to have my family
meet both Ben and Zac.
It's very important.
‐ So what has‐‐ Tayshia.
What are you doing? I‐‐
‐ I mean...
I've just‐‐I've been living
my best life, I feel like.
I don't know, I'm just enjoying
the ride and the journey.
‐ Where are we at?
What are we doing?
‐ Okay, so I had 20 guys here.
‐ Wow. ‐ Now we're down to two.
‐ Two. ‐ Wow.
‐ We have Ben,
who you're gonna meet today,
and then we have Zac.
‐ Ben and Zac.
‐ Uh‐huh. ‐ Nice.
‐ So why these two? What‐‐
‐ Okay.
‐ How come‐‐ ‐ So, actually...
‐ We'll start out with Ben,
right?
‐ Let's start out with‐‐
fun little story with Ben.
So Ben is someone I've liked
since the very beginning, and,
um, I actually‐‐so I met
his family at Hometown.
‐ Nice.
‐ But I actually decided
to send Ben home,
so Ben actually went home.
But Ben came back.
So... ‐ How'd he just come back?
‐ Well... ‐ He just showed up?
‐ He showed back up
on my doorstep.
‐ What? ‐ So then, um,
I don't know,
I had a conversation with him.
He, like, reassured me,
and I finally got, like,
what I was looking for
when I sent him home.
‐ Okay, so he had a wall up
at first.
‐ Yeah, he did. ‐ And then...
‐ I kinda brought it out of him.
‐ Okay. ‐ But I think that
that's kind of, like,
where I kinda need you guys
to come in and, like, just talk
and just get to know him
and see what you think.
‐ Mm‐kay.
‐ He's a really good guy.
‐ Sounds good. ‐ All right.
‐ I'm gonna go get him,
and we'll be back soon.
‐ All right. ‐ We're here.
‐ Can't wait. ‐ Go get Ben.
‐ Okay.
‐ Well, I don't know.
‐ It'll be interesting.
‐ Yeah.
I knew coming into this
I have to have an open mind.
But for Ben to show up
after he was sent home
says a little bit about the guy
with his character
that maybe he didn't put
his best foot forward.
I was skeptical.
‐ How are you? ‐ I'm good.
‐ You look beautiful.
‐ Thank you.
‐ Holy cow! ‐
My parents are here.
‐ I'm a little sweaty.
My palms are sweaty
or just generally sweaty.
‐ It's okay.
‐ Go on in.
‐ Hello!
‐ Hello. How are y'all?
‐ How are you, man?
‐ What's up man? I'm Ben.
‐ Nice to meet you. Brice.
‐ Brice, nice to meet you, dude.
‐ Desmond. ‐ What's up, dude?
Desmond. Good to meet you.
Hey, it's great to meet you.
I'm Ben.
‐ Desmond. Nice to meet you.
‐ Nice to meet you.
I'm more nervous than
I've ever been in my life.
If Tayshia's parents know that
I was sent home last week,
I'm sure they'll have
questions about that,
why it happened, so I wanna
make a nice impression.
‐ So this is Ben.
I just told you guys about Ben.
‐ Yes.
‐ And now this is my family.
‐ Brice, Desmond,
Rosario, Desmond.
‐ Yes. ‐ Got it.
‐ Ben, where did you
go to college?
‐ I went to West Point.
‐ Oh, really?
‐ Ooh! ‐ Oh, okay.
We gotta meet.
‐ Go Navy, b*at Army?
‐ That's all right,
that's all right.
‐ What about this experience?
How...
‐ It's been up and down,
for sure.
I'm sure you heard
she dumped me last week.
‐ Yeah, well...
‐ Ben and I have had...
‐ She did.
‐ Like, a fun journey.
Right? ‐ Yeah.
‐ Had to have made
a good impression...
‐ It was incredible.
‐ For second chances.
‐ See‐‐okay, so let's cheers.
‐ Yeah, please.
‐ Let's just toast
to second chances.
‐ Yes. ‐ Second chances.
‐ Toast me.
‐ Cheers, guys. ‐ Cheers me.
‐ As a father,
you protect your children
for the rest of their life.
She's been through some
tough times with her divorce
and how that just
didn't work out, and...
I'm gonna do whatever I could
to not have that happen again.
Why Ben? ‐ Well, Ben was someone
that I really liked
since day one.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ I get, like, lost in time
when I'm with Ben,
in the sense of like,
no one else is around
kinda thing.
You know? ‐ That's good.
‐ And there's just been
deeper conversations
and not just‐‐
it's not just surface level.
‐ Okay. ‐ And...
he was one of the first people
I could see myself ending up
with at the end of all of this.
‐ Really? ‐ Yeah, he really was.
‐ I like his background.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ How he's gone to West Point.
So that shows
that he has some drive.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ But more importantly is,
I don't want you
to have to work so hard
to get somebody
to be on the same page as you.
‐ Right.
‐ To bring somebody else
into the picture,
they need to be able to come
with a lot at this point.
‐ Yeah.
‐ What do you think
about Tayshia?
‐ I mean, the way
that she makes me feel
is unlike anything
I've ever felt in my lifetime,
and the thought
of potentially, like,
getting to spend my life
with her is‐‐
it's overwhelming for me
because she's the woman
that I could imagine
having children with
and having a family with.
‐ Do you think this is
gonna be a forever thing?
‐ Yeah. ‐ It's not‐‐
you're still kinda, like,
trying to figure it out?
‐ No. ‐ I need to know that.
‐ Oh, yeah.
This is a forever thing.
I'll just come out and say it.
I'm in love with your daughter.
I, uh, I've never felt this way
in my lifetime.
‐ I appreciate you
being super honest.
‐ Of course.
You know,
after speaking with her mom,
which was awesome,
I felt great,
but I mean, there's a lot
on the line today.
I could sit down
with Tayshia's dad
and he could not like me.
That's scary.
It's great
to finally meet you...
‐ Right.
‐ 'Cause the way that she
speaks about all of you is‐‐
it's incredible.
‐ My question for you is,
what do you see in Tayshia?
Why... ‐ Yeah.
‐ Would you like to go further?
‐ For me, what made me
come back to this experience,
even though I was sent home,
is the way
that she makes me feel.
‐ Kay.
‐ And I would be an idiot
to not come back
and, uh...
The first thing
that she asked me to do
when we started our relationship
was to show up for her.
And so across
this entire experience,
I've been showing up
in little ways.
‐ Right.
So what makes you think
you're ready to be married?
‐ You know,
to be fully honest with you,
meeting your daughter.
There's nobody else like her.
She's incredible.
‐ That's good to hear.
‐ It's my fault that
we were on different pages.
I‐‐I, uh...
Full disclosure.
I'm in love with your daughter.
I fell in love with your
daughter several weeks ago,
and I was so terrified
to share that with her
because I didn't know
that it would be reciprocated.
‐ Okay. I respect that.
‐ Like, I've never experienced
a relationship,
romantic or otherwise,
that was anywhere like‐‐
anything like this.
‐ I think you're a sincere
young man.
I see some good qualities
in you, truthfully.
I like that. ‐ Thank you.
‐ And I really appreciate you
being genuine.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Being open, being honest.
‐ Thank you.
‐ And that says a lot to me.
‐ I do thank you for sitting
here and chatting with me.
It was a pleasure. ‐ All right.
After having my conversation
with Ben,
I felt a little bit better
about his intentions.
He really acknowledged
where he messed up
and where he could have
done better.
That says a lot for some people.
Some people
try to just gloss over it.
I probably went from
being doubtful of the guy
to where I would
give him a chance.
‐ Whoo! ‐ Wait‐‐what‐‐
‐ No, no, no, no!
‐ I'm so happy that I came back.
I'm so happy
that I got to meet her family.
I'm so grateful that
she, like, took me back.
Her family likes me.
I can see myself
fitting in with her family.
All right, so Tayshia and I
are out of here for the night.
It was great to meet you all.
‐ Bye, baby! ‐ I love you!
‐ Love you, Taysh.
Look where you're going, girl!
‐ See you later!
Today was amazing.
It was really nice
bringing Ben to my family.
I'm glad they got to know him.
I feel like
they do really like him.
I b*at you though.
If my dad walks away feeling,
like, good about Ben,
then that makes me happy.
I was already
falling in love with Ben,
and I kinda put my heart on hold
when I sent him home.
And today, I started
to fall in love with Ben
all over again.
‐ I love you.
I really love you.
‐ For Ben to come back here
and tell me that he loves me‐‐
those are the words
I wanted to hear.
Those are the words
I was looking for.
‐ See you later.
‐ Bye.
Today was the perfect day
for Ben and I.
‐ I'm really happy
my family got to meet Ben.
I feel like they saw
a fun side of him yesterday
but also how genuine he is.
But today, it's all about Zac.
Today I'm really excited
for Zac to meet my family.
I feel like he's gonna get
bombarded
with a lot of questions,
but I feel like
it's a good thing,
and I think he's ready for it.
Hey, you.
‐ Hi. ‐
‐ Big day. ‐ Big day!
‐ Good to see you.
‐ How're you doing? ‐ I'm good.
‐ Are you nervous?
‐ Yeah. ‐ You‐‐
‐ Yeah, of course.
‐ Just a little bit.
Good nerves.
‐ Yeah, good nerves,
'cause I care. ‐ Okay.
So my family's here, and
they're excited to meet you.
‐ Good.
‐ And I think
it's gonna be a good day.
‐ I know it is. ‐ Come on.
‐ Okay. ‐ Okay.
‐ Okay. Okay.
‐
- ‐ Oh, my God.
- ‐ You're freaking out.
‐ Me? ‐ Yeah.
‐ No, I'm good. ‐ Okay, good.
‐ Within five minutes
of meeting Tayshia,
it became so clear
how important family is to her.
I mean, so clear.
So today is the most
important day of my life
because I need to convey to
her family that I love Tayshia
and that I wanna marry her
if I'm given the opportunity.
‐ We just gotta make sure
that this guy fits in‐‐
whomever it is. ‐ Right.
‐ Fits into the family. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Yes. ‐ So...
We'll see.
I'm gonna be tough with Zac
'cause I just wanna make sure
that I'm feeling comfortable
when this is all done.
‐ Ready?
‐ Hello, hello. ‐ Tayshia.
‐ Oh. ‐ What's up?
How we doing? ‐ Hi.
Good, how are you?
‐ What's up, man? I'm Zac.
‐ Hey, nice to meet you. Brice.
‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ Nice meeting you. Desmond.
‐ Desmond. Desmond, Desmond.
Hi. I have beautiful flowers.
‐ Hi, Zac.
‐ Can I have a hug? ‐ Oh, yes.
‐ Hi. ‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ Tayshia's been through
some tough times
with her divorce,
and I just need to do
everything that I can
to not have that happen again.
So Zac better be the real deal.
How have you guys been?
How's La Quinta
treating you guys?
‐ I don't know, she walked in,
and from there,
it's just been really good.
Really good, and we've
built a nice connection.
I just feel really lucky
to just be here
and meeting you guys, and...
I will say, like,
the first night we talked...
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ Everyone knows
Tayshia's got this, like, glow
where she, like,
lights up the room.
And the first time
I got to see that
was when she started
talking about you guys.
So it was like... ‐ Nice, nice.
‐ Family, and so...
‐ Zac is someone
that's very special to me.
We've had, like, a really good
thing going for a while now.
‐ To gratitude
and to meeting you guys.
I look forward
to talking to each of you
and getting to know you better.
‐ Cheers to that. ‐ Cheers.
‐ My dad can be pretty blunt
at times,
but he brings me back to reality
and challenges me
with his questions.
Hi, Dad.
‐ Hey, Tayshia. ‐
Like having him behind me
and, like,
by my side is everything to me.
‐ So Zac...
‐ Yes.
‐ What's going on with Zac?
‐ Zac.
Zac is just a good guy.
He makes me laugh
and he makes me, like, happy,
and he makes me, like, excited‐‐
like, it's just,
like, all the things.
It's all the things.
‐ So, on a scale
of one to ten...
I even hate saying it! ‐
‐ Do you see you guys‐‐
‐ I'll say about an 8.95.
Only because you guys
are important to me,
and I want you guys
to be able to, like‐‐
I wanna see, like,
how you guys...
‐ Mm‐kay. ‐ Mesh, right?
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ If it doesn't feel right,
I'm not gonna just
get engaged just to get engaged.
No, like, I'm really confident.
‐ There's no rush.
‐ Dad, we get it, okay?
Thank you.
‐ Just sayin'! ‐ I know.
‐ You know? ‐ Just sayin'.
‐ So, um, I'm thinking,
you know, she, um,
she got hurt before.
‐ Mm‐hmm. ‐ And our family
will do anything to protect her.
Do you love Tayshia?
‐ I do.
‐ Have you told her? ‐ I have.
So I told her the other night.
We were on a date.
And I was nervous.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ But I was able to tell her
that I love her,
and she said it back.
So it was a beautiful...
moment for both of us. ‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And the feeling
has not changed.
It just gets stronger
every time I see her, honestly.
‐ Where do you see yourself
and Tayshia
five years from now?
‐ I love that question.
‐
‐ I see us married.
And...
I see us happy.
And I see us still
madly in love with each other
and falling more in love with
each other each and every day.
‐ Nice.
‐ And I see us
starting a family.
That's what I see.
‐ I like that.
‐ No family wants to see
someone they love be hurt.
So what I've hoped
to convey to her parents
is how I feel about Tayshia
and how she makes me feel.
I hope they see
that we're in love.
‐ You‐‐you've been in love
before, right?
‐ I mean,
I was married back in 2009.
‐ Kay.
‐ I was 24, 25 years old
when I got married.
It lasted a year and a half,
two years.
I was partying
a bunch of the time.
I was just like, you know,
not ready for it.
I was in my 20s,
and I didn't really understand
what marriage was.
‐ Hopefully, as we all
get older in life,
one takes note, right,
and learns from what has
happened in the past.
Because the same thing
could easily happen again.
‐ Yeah.
‐ And that's what I'm looking
at for her, at this point.
I don't want it to be a test.
I don't want you guys
to just wing it
and see
"if we can make it work."
‐ I hear exactly
what you're saying,
and what I've had
to really look at is,
when all this goes away,
you know,
and it's just me and her,
life is not always easy.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ Supporting each other
through these tough times
is actually
what I look forward to.
We had this beautiful
conversation the other night.
We were talking about family.
You came up, and she said,
"You know,
my dad has always been my rock.
He's been tough on me at times
like dads can be,"
but she went on
to kinda tell me how
you gave her this life.
You put her
through private school.
You gave her
these opportunities.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ You may be in over your head
at times,
but you did it
because you loved her.
‐ Yep.
‐ And she made it
very clear to me that
that's what she's looking for.
The expectations
are gonna be up here,
because you set 'em really high.
You set 'em really high.
And I need you to know that
that doesn't scare me.
It actually excites me,
you know?
But I tell you that because
I might have an opportunity
to propose to your daughter
in the very near future, and...
I take that very seriously.
I know what that means.
I know what that represents.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ And I'm not gonna do that
unless I am so sure,
which I am right now,
sitting here in this moment,
that it's the right thing to do.
Because I'm committed
to what that means
on the back end.
‐ I appreciate that.
I like Zac.
He's a good man.
He's a good man.
You know, just to see
another man love my daughter
the way
that he expressed himself
made me be at ease.
And so I'm looking forward to‐‐
to see what may come about,
you know, moving forward.
‐ This is the closest
we're gonna get
to a New York‐style pizza
here in the desert, so...
‐ Which one do you want me
to give to you?
You could get this little guy,
or do you want pepperoni?
‐ They all look so good.
‐ This is really good
cheese pizza.
‐ Nowhere else
I'd rather be, right?
‐ Yeah. ‐ Aw, that's so sweet.
‐ That was good. ‐ Thank you.
Zac seems, like,
very honest and caring.
The chemistry was actually
something that I noticed
that it was really good.
‐ Get over here.
‐ So great to meet you.
‐
‐ Now I know where you learned
to hug from, you know?
‐ My mom? ‐ Oh, yeah.
Come on, man.
‐ It's been amazing
to have my family meet
both Ben and Zac.
‐ Bye. ‐ Take care.
‐ See you, bye. ‐ Bye‐bye.
‐ Take care. ‐ Bye‐bye.
‐ I couldn't have asked
for it to go any better.
But now it's up to my heart
and my gut.
Thank you for everything
you did today,
and I hope you had fun.
‐ I did. ‐ Good.
‐ It meant a lot. ‐ Good.
‐ Thank you.
‐
All right.
See ya.
Ben and Zac are very different.
But there's a part of my heart
that wants each
of what they offer.
These next two days
are pretty significant.
I mean, they're the last days
I'm gonna be seeing
each of these men
before a possible proposal,
and making that decision
is something
that's really gonna require me
to look within.
‐ Tayshia,
I don't want you to be making
the biggest mistake
of your life.
‐ I'm confused.
‐ Our love is stronger
than ever.
But anything can happen.
‐ I never wanna experience
that heartache
that I experienced
in my last marriage.
‐ I woke up feeling
very grateful.
It was amazing to have my
family meet both Ben and Zac.
I feel like they truly
welcomed both of them.
I couldn't have asked
for it to go any better.
Now I know I have their support.
That means everything to me.
I see a life with both guys,
and they're beautiful lives.
Like, I would be happy
with either.
I'm proud of the guys
that I have.
I'm proud of who they are.
Two completely different worlds.
And now I just have to decide.
Oh, my God.
Uh‐uh.
Are you kidding me right now?
‐ Tayshia. ‐ Daddy!
Come inside.
‐ Oh, okay.
You have a moment to talk?
‐ Yes, of course.
The last person I expected
it to be was my dad.
Come on!
I noticed he didn't
seem like himself.
He was a little reserved.
It's what made me
a little worried.
Come sit down.
‐ Ah. ‐ What are you doing?
‐ Nothing.
First off, how are you?
‐ I'm good! ‐ Yeah?
‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay. Good, good, good.
So how are you feeling
coming up to these next days?
‐ Well...
‐ Are you
a hundred percent confident?
There's no doubt?
‐ I don't know.
It's just a big step.
‐ It's huge.
So wanted to have
a conversation with you
and just let you know
what your mom,
your brothers, and Nicky
and I have talked about.
‐ Okay.
‐ I haven't been able
to stop thinking about
our family time
with Ben and Zac.
‐ Yeah.
‐ We basically don't want you
to make a mistake here.
I like Zac and, you know,
Ben's a good guy.
But frankly, I'm worried,
'cause, you know,
I've seen you hurt before,
and I can't let that happen
this time.
You know, I've seen you.
You've learned from every step
from‐‐since that day,
from your divorce, right?
And what I wanna make sure
is that
we can do whatever we can
to not go down that path again.
‐ Having you here,
it kinda like snaps me back
to, like... the things
I kinda forget about
because I blocked, you know,
all the pain after my divorce
out of my mind
and everything like that.
And you bringing
those concerns forward
just kinda just...
It just, like, made me feel,
like, kind of heavy.
‐ I don't want you to get hurt,
and seeing these guys, you know,
we don't want things
to go backwards for you.
It might not be
what you want to hear,
but I don't want you
to be making
the biggest mistake
of your life.
‐ Oh, gosh.
I know my dad meant well
by coming today
and trying to provide
some clarity,
but now I am very overwhelmed.
Thanks, Daddy. ‐ Anytime, baby.
‐ I never want to experience
that heartache
that I experienced
in my last marriage.
And my family
experienced it all with me.
I love you, Dad.
‐ I love you too, Tayshia.
‐ I mean, I remember
a pretty vivid night.
It was 3:00,
4:00 in the morning,
I don't even know.
Just in my car.
And my dad just ran outside
and sat with me in the car
and just‐‐I just wailed.
All that I had
was my dad next to me.
And so, like,
I know he knows that pain
that I felt at one point.
And, like,
he couldn't do anything...
except for be there next to me,
so, like, you know?
I know when he says, like,
he doesn't want me to hurt‐‐
go down that road again,
he knows, he knows.
Like, I know
what he's talking about.
Oh, my God.
I am so confused.
Oh, my gosh. This is too much.
This is too much.
‐ I'm going on a date
with Tayshia today.
It's the last opportunity
to see her before
potentially getting engaged.
So crazy to say out loud!
I can't wait to see her,
on the heels of yesterday,
just meeting her family.
Of course, I know
there's another guy here.
I can only control
what I can control.
So I'm gonna reinforce to her
how I feel
and I want her to walk away
feeling really good
about me, us.
I mean, I hope when her head
hits her pillow tonight,
she knows she's in love
and she's found her guy.
‐ Today is my last date
with Zac,
and I feel like
I should be excited,
but having my dad show up,
it just makes me overwhelmed.
The idea of getting
married again...
I mean, truly,
it is a fear of mine,
'cause I've experienced it
before.
I got screwed over with that.
Granted,
Zac is not my ex‐husband,
so I have to be careful with it.
But it's still a fear.
Hello!
‐ Hi. ‐ Hi.
How are you?
The truth is,
I am really confident with Zac
and where we are.
I think Zac is definitely
someone that
I care about,
but after talking to my dad,
I feel like I can't decide
if I wanna get married again.
How are you?
‐ I'm‐‐I'm good.
I'm always good
when I'm with you.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
I was really looking forward
to seeing you today.
I wanted everything to go well,
but then also, we're coming
down to the end of this thing,
and it's just‐‐
it's a lot, it's a lot.
‐ Yeah, it is.
‐ But yesterday was really fun.
‐ Yeah. Your family's amazing.
‐ I can't believe
you met my mom and dad.
That's so crazy to me.
‐ I think they're all very
clear on how I feel about you.
That was important for me.
They know
what you've gone through.
‐ Yeah.
‐ So they're protective of you.
‐ Yep. But you felt good
after everything.
‐ Yesterday? ‐ Yeah.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Okay, good.
‐ I mean, I think you would
probably know better than me,
you know?
‐ Yeah.
I think it's just‐‐
it's just, like,
the stress, is, like,
settling in.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
Can I do anything for you?
Can I help you?
‐ Are you nervous? ‐ For what?
‐ For the rest of what
this journey might look like?
‐ I mean...
I am ready.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ I feel very ready.
With Tayshia, I can feel
the heaviness.
I think there's
a feeling of trepidation
from her that is concerning.
What are we doing?
‐ I'll just show you
rather than tell you.
‐ Okay. Yeah. ‐ Is that okay?
‐ That's great. ‐ Okay.
‐ She's allowed to have
moments of doubt.
But I want her to know
I'm not going anywhere.
Yes!
‐ That was so sweet!
‐ Hi, guys. ‐ Hey, guys.
Come on out, come on out.
Join us. How're you guys doing?
‐ We're doing good!
‐ My name is William.
This is my fiancée Eden,
and we're gonna be
your dance instructors today.
We're gonna actually
teach you guys
a traditional
wedding dance routine.
You know, as dance partners,
you're a team,
a team that works and thrives
on clear communication,
trust, and love.
You guys game for that? ‐ Okay.
‐ All right. ‐ Let's do it.
‐ We're doing, like,
a first dance together,
which makes me more aware
of the possibilities
of an engagement.
So it's just, like‐‐
it's just a lot.
‐ So we're gonna go one, two...
‐ Oh. ‐ One, two.
‐ ‐ And one, two, three, four.
And what's gonna happen
is we're gonna step
away from each other.
One, two, three. Nice job.
Now, instead of stepping back
towards each other,
you're gonna roll her in. ‐ Ooh!
‐ We're gonna let her go.
There you go. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Okay.
‐ That was good. You did it.
‐ But you, like‐‐
okay, whatever.
‐ Let's try it again.
We're gonna watch this one.
‐ Okay.
You didn't look at me at first,
so then I looked away, and then
you're like, "Look at me."
‐ I'm sorry. Sorry.
‐ No, you're totally fine.
But I wa‐‐what do you wanna do?
Look?
‐ Yeah, look at me. ‐ Okay.
One, two‐‐
wait, I did that wrong.
I did that wrong.
I tried really hard
to enjoy the day,
but I think, like,
I'm just feeling so heavy
and stressed right now.
There's a lot going on.
‐ Two, three...
‐ We're off, we're off,
we're off, we're off,
we're off, we're off.
‐ We were off?
‐ Yeah, we were off. ‐ Too fast?
Let's just roll with it.
We got it.
I can just tell
she's feeling nervous.
I'm just hoping that I can be
a support and whatever she needs
now and forever.
‐ And roll... ‐
‐ You got more than that.
‐ No, I don't! ‐ Yes, you do.
‐ Stop! ‐ You ready?
‐ You're making me nervous.
You're rolling with me.
‐ I'm trying to help you.
‐ You're so cute.
Zac was great.
He did a really good job
trying to distract me
and keep me in the moment.
You know what, you're a pretty
good dance partner, my friend.
‐ All right, ready to go on
to the next part?
‐ Yes, please. ‐ Absolutely.
I mean, today was awesome,
the way that we just
have so much fun together.
I mean, she is just
a special person.
This is it. If we get this...
‐ Then...
‐ Look at me.
Being on this dance floor
with Tayshia‐‐
our chemistry and our...
love is stronger than ever.
I mean, it's just
we're in unison.
‐
‐ Yay!
‐ Whoo‐whoo‐whoo‐whoo!
‐ Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Zac makes me so happy,
and, like, he's amazing.
And it kind of bothers me
I can't find any flaws in him.
‐ Thank you, guys.
‐ Bye, you guys.
‐ 'Cause everything
just can't be perfect.
I mean, just like my dad said,
I have to consider, like,
the little things
that I forget about
because I'm so happy
in the moment.
That was fun, wasn't it? ‐ Yeah.
‐ You know, there is a lot
into a relationship
that you find out
months down the road,
and I don't want any surprises.
I'm gonna definitely
be using tonight
to just kind of having those
last‐minute conversations,
because this is the biggest
decision of my life,
and I have no idea
what I'm gonna do.
‐ This morning, Tayshia
was having some doubts.
I think her parents
and her family
probably raised some concerns.
She's feeling the intensity
and the heaviness
of this moment,
and I'm scared.
I love Tayshia.
I wanna propose to her,
and I want us to start
the next chapter
of this love story.
That's why
I think tonight is so...
beautifully scary,
because that means
committing to something
for the rest of your life.
Hello. ‐ Hello!
‐ I need her
to go to bed tonight
just being
100% certain and clear
as to how I feel.
That gives her the key to
doing whatever she has to do,
because right now,
I don't think she's there yet.
How are you? ‐ I'm good.
‐ Did you have fun today?
‐ I did.
I mean, I was feeling
a little funky earlier, but‐‐
‐ Why were you feeling funky?
‐ I don't know.
It's been kind of heavy,
and I feel like I'm just
starting to think about,
you know, like, all the things
that could possibly go wrong.
And so I guess what I started
stressing out about was
just like us falling for each
other the way that we are...
‐ Mm‐hmm. ‐ And then...
that possibly changing
in the future.
And that's a concern of mine
because I feel like
that's what's‐‐
like, has happened to me.
It scares me being, like,
an independent person
and, like, I wanna, like,
conquer the world,
but then, like, down the road,
like, what if life happens,
kids later and, like,
I just wanna be, like,
a mom, like, with the kids,
and then you're gonna, like,
be like, "But you were once
this one, ambitious, like, girl
"that just to, like,
rule the world,
and now you wanna be
a stay‐at‐home mom," and then‐‐
what if, like,
it just changes, and then‐‐
I'm blabbing right now,
but I'm just‐‐
there's a lot of things
that I don't wanna experience
that I have in the past,
and so it stresses me out.
I guess I'm just used
to people running away
as opposed to staying, so...
‐ Obviously, as we, like,
grow and life happens,
yeah, there'll be moments
of craziness and insanity
and things change.
But I've never
laughed and smiled
and had as much fun with
someone as I have with you.
And...
I will do whatever it takes
to hold on to that.
‐ But this is just how I am
sometimes.
It's like I want to, like,
say, yeah, you say that now,
but just, you know,
when things get hard,
it's much easier
to say goodbye and walk away.
‐ So I know we've talked about‐‐
like, I told you my story
and my sobriety
and, like, that whole thing.
Right? ‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ So today it's an anniversary
for me, right?
So like, nine years sober.
So, like my sobriety,
my recovery,
whatever you wanna call it,
is the most important thing
in my life.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And the reason for that
is because it allows me to...
not run away.
Like, not run,
and actually face life
as it comes my way.
‐ Yeah.
‐ So, like, to hear you say...
Your fear is...
that things will change
or that I'll run
or whatever it is,
like, breaks my heart
because...
If I were given the opportunity
to propose to you,
I am not doing that
unless I am committing to you
and committing to you
not just for that day
or for the next couple months‐‐
like, for my‐‐for life.
I mean, that's what
that signifies to me.
And, like, I understand
the word commitment.
I understand the word loyalty.
I understand the word‐‐
like, I understand
what these things mean.
I know, Tayshia,
why I love you,
and that has nothing to do with
whether or not in five years
you're gonna be
a stay‐at‐home mom or waitress‐‐
it just‐‐
it doesn't matter to me,
as long as you're happy.
Because that's not the reason
that...
I love you.
‐
I love that Zac just loves me,
but he doesn't just love me.
He, like, truly,
whole‐heartedly cares about me.
I love that he truly feels like
someone I could rely on,
and we could have
hard conversations,
and it's still good.
Like, we can talk through
anything.
Cheers to...
‐ Don't make me cry.
‐ The man that makes me
feel safe,
heard...
Special.
That has...
been through hell and back
to only be the best man
that I could ever dream of.
So cheers to you today,
Zachary Clark.
‐ I think she believes in me.
All right, let's change the
scenery up here a little bit.
‐ Okay.
‐ This is actually
truly the scariest part.
Because when the love
is like this
and it's real and it's strong,
there's a lot to lose.
And she's the best.
‐ I don't know.
Today's really special.
I feel like‐‐like, the dance
and today being your anniversary
doesn't really feel real.
I feel like I'm in a dream,
to be honest.
‐ Well, maybe dreams come true.
‐ Oh, stop it. ‐ No, I'm ser‐‐
‐ That's, like,
literally a Hallmark card.
Where'd you read that?
‐ Now you're gonna make me
feel...
‐ Oh.
You literally read that
on a Hallmark card.
You just used it on me.
‐ No, no, that's not‐‐
‐ I cannot believe you!
‐ No. No, no, no.
‐ Really? Okay.
What else ya got?
What else ya got?
‐ I love you. ‐ Oh.
Yeah, I don't think
you read that one.
That one's all Zac.
‐ I just really love you.
I know that
I've given you all I have.
And I'm totally open
to do it again.
‐ I love Zac Clark.
There's so much sincerity
behind everything that Zac says
that you know how genuine he is
and you know where his heart is.
I had a lot of fun tonight.
‐ Me too.
I mean, all I know how to say
right now is I love you.
‐ ‐ And thank you.
I'm ready for whatever
the future holds.
I'm here for you.
‐ My divorce hurt so bad
that I didn't think
I could get engaged again.
‐ I love you.
‐ Love you too.
But you can get through
like the biggest challenges
in life
and like think it's never
gonna get better...
but you just believe
in yourself,
and there are people out there
that will sweep you
off your feet.
Bye, Zachary Clark.
‐ Bye, Tayshia.
‐ But to think that I was
like so uneasy this morning,
I'm going to bed feeling
pretty damn good.
‐
‐ Today I have my last date
with Tayshia.
I'm so excited.
She makes me feel unlike
anyone has ever made me feel.
I love her.
I can't wait to see her again.
And my gut tells me that
I'm gonna propose to her
and she's gonna say yes.
‐
‐ Waking up this morning,
I'm feeling very,
very nervous.
It's only because at this point,
I feel like I know
what my heart wants, and...
I know that it's not Ben.
I wish my heart was with him,
but it's just not.
I don't know.
I do know what I need to do.
‐ Oh, boy.
‐ Can I come in? ‐ Please.
‐ I don't like hurting people.
How are you doing? ‐ I'm good.
My heart is a little high,
all of a sudden.
‐ Oh, boy.
‐ Okay, talk to me. ‐ Okay.
Through this whole week,
all I've been thinking about
is just, like,
the entire journey here.
‐ Yeah.
‐ And that starts with us,
really.
I remember seeing you
out of the group of guys,
and then you were just someone
that I really wanted
to continue to get to know.
I don't think
I've told you this,
but you kind of, like,
set the bar for people
because you were being
vulnerable with me.
And I saw that,
and I started falling in love
with that guy more and more.
And this week, it's‐‐
it's a really heavy week.
‐ Yeah.
‐ And...
I care about you so much.
But I just feel like my heart
is with somebody else.
I just‐‐
I don't want you to, like...
ever second‐guess anything.
And me giving you that rose
the other night
was because I truly, truly
wanted to give us another chance
because I saw something.
I just feel like we...
we missed out on a little
bit of time that was...
‐
‐ That was very monumental.
‐ Um...
yeah, and I, uh...
You know,
I was excited to be back.
I was really hopeful that, uh,
you know, we would be together.
And obviously, that‐‐
that doesn't change.
‐
Um...
I saw it going differently,
but, uh,
like, when you‐‐like, I'm‐‐
when you love somebody,
you want them to be happy.
‐ I want you to be happy too.
‐ Someday.
Okay. ‐ All right.
‐ So yeah.
I'm happy for you.
‐ Thank you.
‐ Yeah. I'm dead serious.
‐ I know, but‐‐
‐ It's all right.
It's all right.
Bye.
I put all of myself into this.
And so, um...
Um...
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ I thought
I was gonna be her husband.
I'm still in love with her.
I don't know what the
to do now, but, uh...
Man.
I lost a really good thing.
All the things
that I was looking for,
all the things
that I saw in her,
all of the beauty
that she has...
Our life would have been
so good.
She was perfect for me.
‐ Waking up this morning,
I never thought this would be
where I would be
in my wildest dreams.
With one man left,
today's the day,
and I cannot believe I'm here.
I can honestly say,
like wholeheartedly,
that Zac is my person.
And I truly don't think
I have the words
to describe the love
that I have for him,
and the way he makes me feel.
But there is still
a fear of, you know,
what if we leave outside
of here and things change?
That is something
that kind of stresses me out,
and it worries me.
‐ I love Tayshia, and...
I'm gonna propose
to the woman of my dreams.
‐ Hi. I'm Neil Lane.
‐ Zac Clark. Nice to meet you.
‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ Thanks for coming by.
Come on in. ‐ Sure.
‐ Great to see you.
I have been through
some stuff in life.
So celebrating kinda,
like, nine years sober
and being in love
with this beautiful woman,
it's incredible.
‐ That is a princess cut.
‐ Okay.
My love for her,
like, transcends
any physical beauty.
She is just, like, everything
that I've ever wanted
in a partner.
I'm the luckiest guy
in the world.
‐ This is an emerald cut.
‐ Okay.
‐ It's one of the most
sophisticated cuts.
‐ I mean, it's beautiful, right?
This is a beautiful...
‐ It's an elegance to it.
‐ I think I love this one.
I will be nervous
to propose to her,
because I don't know
what's gonna happen.
But...
I love Tayshia so much.
‐ Outside of this
particular journey,
I've had a long journey
of my own
coming back from being
divorced and whatnot
and going from feeling like
I would never get married again
to being on this
really unexpected,
but amazing journey
and actually finding love.
It's overwhelming.
This involves our families.
This involves
a lot of risk, and...
I know I love Zac.
But it's still scary.
And...
thinking about all that
does make me wonder
if it's too much too soon.
‐ Hey, there. ‐ Hello.
- ‐ How you doing?
- ‐ I'm doing good.
‐ Yeah? You doing okay?
‐ I'm getting there.
Yeah. Um...
I'm starting to get
a little nervous.
It's a big day. ‐ Yeah.
‐ And I didn't expect
for this...
to be happening when it is.
‐ If we learned anything
this year,
we know life can just
turn on a dime.
‐
‐ I can't tell what's going on.
‐ I‐‐I have a lot.
I don't know.
There's just a lot going on.
I'm excited but also
I love him so much.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Um...
But it's something
that's different.
To be honest,
I question the fact
if, you know, I've really
ever been in love...
‐ Yeah. ‐ True love.
Until now.
- ‐ What is going on?
- ‐ I'm just excited.
‐ It's okay. ‐ Yeah.
‐ You should be. ‐ I know.
‐ This is everything
we've ever wanted for you.
‐ I know. It's good.
‐ This is amazing. ‐
It's really good.
‐ Well, good luck. ‐ Thank you.
‐ All right. ‐ Love you.
‐ Why don't you head on up?
‐ All right.
‐ I'll send Zac in a little bit.
‐
‐ I'm stressed. I'm overwhelmed.
I'm... I'm scared.
It's taken a lot to get here.
I think it's just, like,
all hitting me that it's‐‐
this is it.
I don't know
if I'm doing the right thing.
I have been down
this road before,
and I never wanna experience
that heartache
that I experienced
in my last marriage.
But I love Zac,
and I just hope
I'm making the right decision.
‐ I feel like
the luckiest guy in the world
sitting here today.
I love everything about her.
She's incredible.
When we are together,
it's like nothing else
is going on in the world.
I can't picture my life
without her in it.
But anything can happen.
For her to say no
or for her to pick another guy
is not out of the question,
I get that.
So today means everything.
Chris.
‐ How ya doing, buddy?
‐ I'm good.
‐ You all right? Come on, man.
‐ Give me that hug.
I'll take all I can get.
‐
How ya feeling?
‐ I feel... like I'm exactly
where I'm supposed to be.
She's, uh,
literally everything I could
have ever dreamed for, so...
‐ It's been one hell of a ride.
‐ Yes, it has.
‐ All right, my friend.
‐ But not over yet.
Thanks, Chris. ‐ Good luck.
All right, man.
‐ I'll see you later.
‐ She's waitin' for ya.
‐ Thanks.
I spent a lot of time thinking
about what could go wrong.
But I've done
everything in my power
to get to this moment,
and I owe it to her
to go into this thing
without fear.
There's just moments in life
that you wait
your entire existence for,
and this is one of
those moments.
So if she says yes,
I'm gonna be the happiest guy
in the world.
‐
Hi.
‐ How are you? ‐
I'm good.
‐
You know, our...
first conversation
we ever had by our fountain,
we talked about that everything
happens for a reason.
And when I came here
to the desert,
I didn't know
what that reason was.
But I do today.
I came here 'cause I was
supposed to meet you,
and I came here
'cause I was supposed
to fall in love with you.
From our first kiss...
to riding the Ferris wheel
to meeting each other's
families,
nothing has ever felt
so right in my entire life.
You've...
helped me experience a love
that I didn't know existed,
and you've made me smile
more than anyone
has ever made me smile.
I love you, Tayshia.
I love you
'cause you're a fighter.
I love you
'cause you're a strong,
independent woman.
You make everyone around you
better.
I love you
'cause you believe in me.
I love you
'cause you're a total dork.
‐
‐ And I love you
because you drive me
absolutely wild.
I love everything about you.
And I listened when you spoke
of the importance of loyalty.
I promise to be loyal to you.
‐
That first night
when I got here,
I was extremely excited
for the possibility
of finding love,
but also very nervous and scared
because I didn't know
if finding true love was...
possible.
When I first met you,
I thought to myself,
"He's different."
And...
that man is kind,
he shows gratitude,
and has the biggest smile.
He has been through a lot
but has never given up.
But also has learned
how to read me better
than anyone really has
and knows how to comfort me
when I'm down.
And there was one point
in my life
where I thought
I would never get married
because of all the pain
and the heartbreak
that I've been through,
and I hit absolute rock bottom.
And...
I know that I told you
that I love you...
But...
- Sorry.
- ‐ It's okay.
‐ It's more than that.
It's this wild,
wild love that I have
tried to come up with
so many reasons to not believe.
And you have truly
just made me believe
that there doesn't need
to be flaws
and that I deserve a love
with a man that won't run away.
And I'm truly
looking at my heart,
and, yes, it is real,
and I feel it too.
And I wanna make more traditions
and jump into fountains
all over the world with you.
I'm ready to hail a taxi.
‐ Prove it. ‐
And I'm ready
to start a life with you.
But also...
I love you, Zac Clark.
And... ‐ I love you.
‐ And I'll do absolutely
anything
to keep that huge smile
on your face.
Because you do everything...
to keep a huge smile on mine.
‐
The night of my hometown...
‐ It's okay.
‐ When we walked in,
and my parents got to see
that smile on my face,
you gave them the best gift
you could ever give them.
They haven't seen me that happy
in years.
You did that.
That's when I knew.
That's when they knew.
And...
the other night,
we were talking.
You spoke about this idea of
someone choosing you.
And...
I can't...
picture another day,
another moment without you
in my life.
And if you'll let me,
I'm gonna choose you right now.
I'm gonna choose you
tomorrow morning.
I'm gonna choose you next week
and next year.
I'm gonna choose you forever.
'Cause I love you.
‐ Oh, my gosh.
‐ Marry me.
‐
Yes!
Yes, yes, yes!
I love you.
‐ Yes! ‐
‐ Oh, come on!
‐
- ‐ Gimme your hand.
- ‐ Holy.
‐ Gimme your hand. ‐ Okay. Okay!
I'm, like, shaking.
‐ Don't shake.
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ This is so crazy.
‐
‐ No.
Do you? ‐ Yes!
‐ Yeah?
Oh, my God!
You're mine!
Oh, my God!
We did it. ‐ We did it.
‐ Me and you. ‐ Yeah, we did it.
‐ It's us. ‐ We're crazy.
‐ We did it! ‐ We did it.
‐ Oh, my God!
But there's one more thing.
Zac,
will you accept this rose?
‐ Absolutely.
‐
Oh!
We did it!
‐ We did it! ‐ We did it!
‐ Whoo!
‐ Yeah!
Go, go, go, go, go!
‐ Best day of my life.
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ This is my fiancée. ‐ Whoo!
No, no, I‐‐
‐ Ah!
‐ How did this happen?
I swear, just a few weeks ago,
I was sitting in bed
all by my lonesome,
eating donuts,
probably crying myself to sleep.
‐ No.
‐ And now I got you!
Do you like donuts? ‐ Yeah.
‐ Perfect. Then we're good.
‐ We gonna dance tonight? ‐ Oh!
We're gonna do more than dance.
We're gonna really...
We have a whole dance set up.
‐ Yeah, we have some work to do.
Make beautiful babies,
all that stuff.
Whoa, whoa! ‐
He's the gas. I'm the brakes.
‐ Are you ready
to get outta here?
‐ Yeah. ‐ Let's go.
Taxi! ‐
‐ Taxi! ‐ Taxi!
‐ This is my fiancée right here!
‐ Oh, my God,
this is ridiculous.
How am I gonna get in this one?
‐ You want me to pick you up?
‐ I don't know how
I'm gonna get in it.
‐ Come on. ‐ Okay, ready?
Oh, God, okay. Thank you.
Oh. Are you ready?
‐
‐
‐ To New York!
‐ To New York we go!
‐ Whoo! ‐ Big Apple.
‐ I love New York.
‐ New York, New York!
‐ As one journey ends,
another begins.
Premiering on January 4th,
an incredible new season
of "The Bachelor"...
With our new bachelor,
Matt James.
‐ Love, for me,
is about the heart.
And the way that I view life,
everything is a blessing.
Matt!
‐
‐ He's tall, dark, and handsome.
What more could you want?
‐ Ten out of ten.
He is the perfect bachelor.
‐ I grew up in North Carolina,
but now I'm a commercial
real estate broker
in New York City.
I've never been through
something like this.
‐ Oh, my God!
‐ This is all new to me.
‐ Are you nervous?
‐ Not anymore.
‐ He's probably the most
handsome man I've ever seen.
‐ You may be someone that
I could share my life with.
‐ I felt that instant chemistry.
‐ Hey! ‐ Whoo!
‐ ‐ It's the best feeling.
It's like butterflies
and excitement.
‐ He just keeps getting hotter.
Whew. It's just like, yum.
Daddy.
‐ I do acknowledge color
in every sense.
At the end of the day, like,
love is love.
It doesn't matter
what it looks like.
‐ I've potentially
found the person
who's gonna
change the world with me.
‐ The work you're doing
is gonna shape a generation.
‐ So like, we have,
like, a real connection,
a real spark.
‐ I definitely could see myself
falling in love with you.
‐ Oh, my gosh,
I am so in love with Matt.
‐ Oh, my God.
We're going to w*r
for Matt's heart.
‐ Everyone is ready
to go for the k*ll.
‐ I wanna see Matt.
‐ It looks like
you have a guilty conscience.
‐ In this house,
there are no secrets.
Well, I've heard two different
terms going around.
I've heard sugar baby
and escort.
‐ She may be having
a transactional relationship
with wealthy men.
‐ Oh, my God, yes!
The queen has arrived, b*tches.
‐ Queen Victoria is definitely
more of a drama queen.
‐ Sometimes you just
let a bitch go.
‐ Victoria has been a mean girl
since day one.
‐ Can you tell Matt
that, like, Sarah sucks?
‐ That was so, like, brutal.
I just felt so att*cked.
‐ If you're gonna throw
another tantrum,
there's going to be an issue.
‐ If Matt sends her home,
I will wanna him
because I'll just be like,
"That is so hot that he can
see through her."
‐
‐ Everyone's in it for themself.
‐ What the hell? ‐ Ew, ew.
‐ It's a mind being here.
‐ Listen, like, you are going
to get hit with the truth.
Oh!
‐ I just feel sick
to my stomach.
‐ I'm cracking.
‐ I am about to explode.
‐ God, I'm so‐‐I was just
dying to talk to him.
‐ It's really hard!
‐ ‐ Holy.
You okay? ‐ No.
Whew. No, I'm not.
One of the things
that's been hard for me
in my relationships is
going deep and sharing who I am,
what I'm about,
and what I've been through
because it opens up this place
that scares me.
And I think about my mom
and I think about my brother
and how this broken family
and broken marriage
has affected our lives.
And I don't wanna put
anybody through that.
And the only thing
I'm certain of is that
love causes you to do things
that you wouldn't normally do.
I've got this beautiful diamond
that represents so much more
than you could ever imagine.
‐ An all‐new season
of "The Bachelor"
premieres January 4th.
‐ The funny thing is,
my mom
is a Chris Harrison super fan,
and Chris Harrison kinda
came in and said hi to my mom,
so my mom was, like,
on cloud nine...
‐ Oh! ‐ After seeing him, so...
‐ You guys haven't met him
at all.
‐ No. ‐ No.
Me and Chris DM each other.
‐ Oh! ‐
‐ Yeah, yeah.
‐ Is that how it goes?
‐ Yeah, yeah. It's like having
the vice president
and the president
in the same room all the t‐‐
you can't do that. ‐ Yeah.
Got it. Okay.
‐ Hey, hey! ‐ Oh!
‐ Oh! ‐ Well, come in!
‐
‐ Wow! ‐ Hey.
‐ Desmond, how you doing?
‐ Nice to meet you.
‐ How you doing, Rosario?
‐ You just ruined my plan.
We're not supposed to be in
the same room at the same time!
‐ What do you think
of all this, dude?
‐ It's pretty big.
‐ I was just talking
to the producers,
and they're‐‐how old are you?
‐ 14.
‐ Yeah, they were saying,
eight to ten years
about you being the Bachelor.
‐ We'll talk about it, okay?
‐ I'll talk to your agent.
