Another season down the corn silo, folks! Who won in your league? Any upsets? I think Whitney was the most excited winner in the show’s history. I half-expected her to chew up that final rose and swallow it. But dagnabbit if I don’t believe in their love. My jagged edges are being sanded down with each passing year.
ALSO: can we talk about the double dose of Bachelorettes? Becca put it best in a tweet last night:
Throw us a frickin’ bone here, ABC. Okay, here are the points from last night’s finale.
Becca: 55 points(stat correction)- Kissing Chris (10 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
- Saying, “I’m falling for you” to Chris (20 points)
- Whitney: 200 points
- Kissing Chris (10 points)
- Mentioning a deceased loved one (10 points)
- Crying on camera (25 points)
- Going on a picnic (5 points)
- Saying “I’m falling for him” to the camera (20 points)
- Saying “I love you” to Chris (30 points)
- Winning the Final Rose (100 points)
Bonus Points for Having Drafted the Next Bachelorette
- Britt: 40 points
- Being chosen as the next Bachelorette (40 points)
- Kaitlyn: 40 points
- Being chosen as the next Bachelorette (40 points)
Don’t forget to check back in with us before the Bachelorette: 2 Hot 2 Handle kicks off, and tell your Bach-lovin’ friends about us, too. Thanks so much for playing along. It’s been a pleasure!
Why did they only get 5 points for kissing Chris this episode versus ten points in previous episodes?
Ugh, I have no idea why I typed that! Both should be 10 points. Thanks for the catch! Changing now.
Since neither of them are actually the Bachelorette… I am going to split the points down the middle. Each get 20. Chris Harrison specifically said they “could not decide on a Bachelorette”…. What do you think? I am feeling a LOT of pressure as my pool commissioner! #firstworldproblems
Melanie, as the commissioner in my league, I also feel the pressure! I think that’s totally fair to split the points if you want to do it like that. Do you think that next season the men will vote which Bachelorette they want in the house and send the other one home?! Super awk. Who knows?
Would you give points for drafting the next Bachelorette only before the mid-season draft, or after, too? My gut says only before.
I’m so sorry for the delay in responding. I say before!
In my league we’re awarding points for picking the next bachelorette for next Season. So 2 of my girls will start next season’s league with a 40 point head start. That’s just how we’re doing it :)
