Bachelor Winter Games: After the Final Rose

All of our favorites have been reunited for today's show.  Jordan has shaved his head.  It's taken me forever to get to this and even I know some of the spoilers, but we're going to do this anyway.  Things start off with a montage of all of our favorite moments.  Bibiana's crying and Jordan has nothing but nice things to say about her.  I still don't understand where things went wrong with those too.  I blame Bibi for that one.  Chris "speaks" to Yuki in "Japanese".  It is painful to see them use her but she seems like a willing participant.

We check in first with Courtney and Lily to see how they're doing.  It's funny how nobody asked how Courtney and Lily were going to figure out a long-distance relationships.  I guess people assume the countries are essentially the same.  Anyway, it appears that neither of them have real jobs or ABC/Bachelor helped pay for them to RV across the country.  There was video footage, of course.  They now live in LA, doing Lord knows what.

Next up is Lesley and Dean. Despite Dean's track record, these two continue to remain an item.  It's unclear if Dean just told Lesley that he loved for her the first time.  I'm hoping not.  He says he has a question for her and gets down on one knee and people are freaking out that he's proposing, but of course he isn't, he's just offering her a key to his apartment.  She seems genuinely amused.

We know from the coming attractions that Luke and Stassi aren't together, so let's hear more.  Stassi is on the couch by herself.  But first Stassi has to relive her relationship.  Oh right, Luke and his "heart" issues.  Perhaps her first clue would have been that he kept calling her Russian and she's from Belarus.  She corrected Chris on this so you know this is something she feels strongly about (as she rightly should.  Can you imagine if we were introduced as "Canadians"?  As if!).  I bet that she's even more glad that she turned down the fantasy suite since Luke turned out to such a tool.  Turns out, he left without getting her number and they haven't spoken since.  Luke's booed when he comes on stage.  This pretty much kills all chances of him ever becoming the Bachelor. I wouldn't fuck with Stassi. Luke appears because he's contractually obligated to and comes off as the asshole that he has apparently been the whole time.  He claims they broke up and she says she missed that conversation.

They go to "break" but it's not a real break and Stassi continues to lay into him.  Luke won't look at her or try to explain himself. No one wants to talk to Luke after that.

Ashley and Kevin are on next and seem to still be together.  It's pretty funny watching Ashley's journey on this season and how she went from crying to happy.  Not only does Kevin look like Tom Brady, Tom seems to be his idol.  Anyway, they seem to be doing well.

Claire joins the hot seat next.  We re-watch Claire's journey on Winter Games and how she shunned Benoit and settled for Christian.  We of course know that Claire and Benoit reconnected. Ugh, watching Claire I'm reminded of how much I don't like Claire.  We all know that Benoit proposes.  Everybody swoons.  I'm not sure why they even included as many contestants as they did because all of a sudden it's over and they didn't talk to Eric (who was only on the show for 20 minutes anyway) or Christian, or some of the others whose names I've already forgotten.

Winter Games was magical and I can't wait to see the next season.  Until then, we suffer through the rest of Arie's season.
