Oh, thats right its called being aBachelorettefan!
You know what that means: Its Neil Lane time!
(These are words hell come to regret, no doubt.)

On a side note, I think Tyler bites his nails.
This week has been the hardest decision of my life, says the Bachelorette.
Its so hard because life with Tyler is different than Jed, and I am conflicted in my heart.
ABC
Youre literally in the SUV on the way to the Proposal Platform.
Now is not a great time to be having a crisis of conscience.
I cant do this, says Hannah, before asking the driver to stop the car.
ABC
If only she had thought to take her heels off before taking a stroll to clear her head.
A producer comes running.
Are you okay?Of courseshes not okay, buddy!
ABC
She probably thought that was the hardest moment of her life to date.
As well see later, it absolutely is not.
So who will get out of the limo first, thereby revealing himself to be the soon-to-be-dumpee?
ABC
just, reality TV gods, just let Jed get out first.just just just just just…
Crap.
I want her more than anything Ive ever wanted in my life.
Hannah can barely listen either; she keeps looking away and grimacing in distress.
ABC
Whats coming next is not good, and he knows it.
Hannah still hasnt been able to speak, but she doesnt need to.
This isnt it, says Tyler sadly.
ABC
Finally, Hannah finds her words.
I am so lucky to be loved by you… My life with you would be amazing.
And when I told you I was falling in love with you, I mean it, says Hannah.
ABC
I love someone else.
Thats gonna hurt, he says.
But Im still gonna be your biggest fan rooting for you.
ABC
I wish you and Jed nothing but success.
I really mean that.
They share a long and emotional hug.
For the love of all thats holy, why hasnt science mastered the art of time travel yet?
Come on, NASA!
Get on it so Hannah can go back and remedy this mistake ASAP!
ABC
Dammit, he even looks hot when hes crying.
Welp, I guess we cant avoid whats coming next, rose lovers.
Take my hand and lets just get through it.
ABC
(Oh, cruel irony why must you torment our Bachelorette so?)
God, just look at this jackass with his ever-present gee-tar.
So lets just ignore… Oh Lord have mercy, hes singing, rose lovers.
ABC
HE IS SINGING HIS PROPOSAL PITCH and I think I might actually throw up.
Does anyone have a defibrillator?
I think my heart just gave out from sheer mortification.
ABC
I really liked that, she says with a determined smile.
Oh, honey, dont get too attached Jed most certainly isnotMr.
Now, rose lovers, its time for the aftermath.
ABC
First, we see cutesy phone videos of Jed and Hannah cavorting together during their happy couple visits.
Shes gonna be a Wyatt, Jed drawls, as Hannah smooches him giddily.
When I chose Jed at the end…
ABC
I was excited, Hannah tells us via voice-over, as footage of her goofing off with Jed rolls.
The first thought that went through my head is, This is it.
He is so real with me, and I am so real with him.
ABC
And thats what Ive wanted from the very start.
Then things get real sad, real quick.
Thats not been the case.
He told me it was nothing, she explains.
It was hard to hear, but I tried to let that go.
In other words, It was not the same story that I was told, Hannah says.
What was withheld from me after Ive already said yes isnotokay.
I love the person I got engaged to.
I dont know how I feel about this person.
Jed arrives at the neutral-location-condo looking grim.
(I may have yelled Dead man walking!
at my screen.)
Once theyre both seated on the couch (shades of Arie and Beccas breakup!
), Hannah demands answers.
Why did you wait until all of this happened to… let me find out what actually happened?
Haleys got it all wrong, he insists.
Hannahs BS antennae are immediately raised.
What is hanging out a few times?
she asks.Oh, dinner and a movie and sex,says Jed… and a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg.
Hannah exclaims, rolling her eyes.
Oh, and Haley met his parents.
You dont call that dating?
But wait, theres more!
Three days before the Birthday Bahamas trip, Jed was cast onThe Bachelorette.
And you probably just kept reassuring her, This is a music thing, snaps Hannah.
I know this is what happened!
Jed does not deny it.
And I told her that I loved her.
Hannah calls Jed selfish and buries her face in her hands with a groan.
And it only gets worse.
Of course, he didnt tell Haley that.
Its not the right way to do it, says Jed, now that hes been caught.
I ended it in my heart and not verbally.
Hannah, like all of America right now, cannot believe what shes hearing.
You said you loved her on a phone call and a text the day of!
she cries, pounding her fists into her lap.
What do those words mean to you?
I can answer that: nothing.
They mean nothing to Jed.
And Hannah is disgusted.
This is obviously humiliating for me, she tells Jed.
My brothers getting messages, my moms getting messages.
And I have text messages from other girls the night after I was in Nashville.
These two girls were in your apartment.
Hannah pulls out her phone and shows Jed even more evidence that he is the worst.
Do I even need to tell you that Jeds defense is beyond lame?
We didnt even know who they were!
he replies as if that somehow makes it better.
He also cops to throwing these strange women into the pool.
As Hannah rightfully points out, this is not how a happily and honestly engaged person should act.
Its very hurtful, she says.
How would you ever be ready to be engaged?
you might do nothing, Jed.
Hannah doesnt go quite so far, though.
She just says, I dont know, and heads outside to get some fresh air.
Finally, Hannah comes back inside, and Jed makes his final pitch.
Look, youre everything that I have ever wanted and needed in a woman, he says.
Do you really need to be told that where youre lacking is in the TELLING THE TRUTH department?
Hannah says she needs 100 percent honesty from him going forward.
I didnt have a girlfriend, though, he asserts.
I should have said something at the Fantasy Suite.
Oh, shut your pie hole, dude.
No one believes your tears anyway.
Hannah then scolds Jed for telling his friends that he won the show.
It makes sense now why your family was so… skeptical of it, no wonder, she says.
Because now your past was actually current, and now its in our future.
Woah, that is deep.
just just send this jackhole packing.
All Jed can say at this point is Im sorry, which he does.
But it isnt enough.
Or at the very least, it should not be.
Shes fiddling with that giant diamond on her left finger.
This, she says, pointing to the rock, doesnt mean the same thing.
Thats not what I said yes to.
And with that, she takes off the ring and puts it on the coffee table.
You deserve to be mad at me, says Jed, stating the very obvious.
Do not tell her what she deserves, you tool!
The segment ends with Hannah holding her head in her hands.
I dont know if I want this, she says, her voice muffled.
Everything I thought was true and real wasnt.
I have been mad as hell.
Of course, Harrison asks the obvious question: Where does your relationship stand now?
Hannah pauses for just a second.
I… am not with Jed anymore, she says, as the crowd applauds wildly.
Damn right, gurl!
Oh Lord, here comes Jed.
He walks out to a few solitary claps its not even enough to call it a smattering of applause.
Harrison gives him the floor.
Im sorry that I took away that experience from you.
Im sorry that this has hurt your family, your friends, Bachelor Nation, my family.
Hannah is far more gracious in her response than she needs to be.
I appreciate your apology, she says.
Its hurt me a lot but I know that this has not been easy for you and your family.
Jed, meanwhile, says he still loves Hannah.
In fact, he says hell always love her.
Thats great, but Hannah is 1-800-DONE-WITH-YOU.
My feelings have changed since then, she says.
I dont love you like that anymore.
At this point, I stood up and cheered likeMeryl Streep whooping it upduring Patricia Arquettes Oscar speech.
With that, Jeds time in the spotlight is over… hopefully forever.
Now its time for Hannah to sit down with the man she should have chosen: Tyler.
When Harrison asks her how she feels about seeing him again, Hannah is a bit coy.
And you know what, she just may get her wish.
Hannah and Tyler are flirty from the very beginning.
Shes one of the strongest people Ive ever met.
It didnt just go away and I still…
I have feelings, she says, as the crowd whoops and cheers.
Youre an incredible guy and Im a single girl, Hannah continues.
Harrison cannot believe his live-TV good fortune.
Just so were clear, were gonna have a go at this?
Yes they are, rose lovers!
We can ship this, indeed!
Ive always hated the saying everything happens for a reason, because it totally doesnt.
Well, rose lovers, we made it through!
Will anyone ever date Jed again?
Do you think Hannah and Tyler will start dating for real?
And who do you want to be the next Bachelor?
Post your thoughts below, and as always, thanks for reading!
