After The Final Rose?

I watched The Bachelor today. Don't worry though, I only watched half of it, so I'm only half gay. I didn't watch it out of nowhere though. I knew what was going on. I had prior information on what happened and that I may or may not find it funny. 

For those that missed it, which i hope is all of you, here is what happened. It was the finale, so of course he was choosing between the last two girls. He's supposed to propose to one of them. He said goodbye to both of them though. 

It was hilarious. Watching both girls getting their heat broken. There is nothing quite like watching heart break. As long as you don't know any of the people involved it's hilarious. Now maybe for those that had watched the show regularly it wasn't quite as hilarious. They probably felt like they had some sort of pseudo attachment to these people. So maybe they didn't find the fact that he chose no one funny, but I sure did. 

But now I'm left with a question. They are going to have the final show tonight, After The Final Rose they call it. How can they still call it that when there was no final rose? It just sat there on the table. 

So technically the final rose was given to both of the finalists. But that is two roses. The show is about the final rose, not final roseS. How are they going to do that?

That question is the biggest question I have in my life right now. And sadly I'm not going to be able to answer it, because I'm not going to watch the After The Final Rose show. 

So my viewing of half an episode has just left me bewildered and confused. But on the bright side, I did learn one thing. Heartbreak equals hilarity. 

One final note about that episode of the bachelor. They ended it all wrong. They ended it with one of the girls walking down the hall, carrying her shoes. They missed a golden opportunity. The final rose, that wasn't given out, sitting on the table should have been the final shot. But here is the catch. You show that rose slowly die and wilt. The petals begin to fall off. Then the last rose petal gets blown away, fade to black. That's how to properly end that episode.

That brings me to another question. Are those roses real or fake? I'm inclined to say real, just because. But then I think they should be fake so you can keep them forever as a keepsake. 

I think I've figured out why I've never watched The Bachelor. It just leads to too many unanswered questions. 

On a side note, all the ladies I work with said I kind of looked like the guy on The Bachelor. Then no more than 15 minutes later they are bashing the guy. How am I supposed to feel about this
