Lorenzo Borghese Blows it On Bachelor Finale
Her princess title will have to wait, but Jennifer Wilson got her prince on The Bachelor.
That's right, Lorenzo Borghese somehow chose ditzy Jen over the far superior Sadie Murray on Monday's two-hour finale.
"I came here for one reason and that was in search for love," the 34-year-old Manhattanite and Italian noble family member told Jennifer as he informed her of his decision during the reality TV show's final rose ceremony. "I didn't want 25 women, I wanted one."
"Oh my god!," the giddy 24-year-old eighth grade teacher from Pembroke Pines, Fla., replied, as our staff members vowed to stick to Laguna Beach for our reality fix from now on.
However, Lorenzo didn't propose, or even attempt to present his network-supplied engagement ring to Jennifer as a "promise ring." No one needs to get married these days - just ask Brangelina. Instead, he presented the Florida teacher with an offer to leave the "Garden of Eden" and "take it on" with him in New York.
After meeting with both fathers, Lorenzo had his final one-on-one dates with Jennifer (below, left) and Sadie (below, right), setting the stage for the final ceremony in which each woman arrived separately learn of his decision. Sadie arrived first and, following some brief praise of her, Lorenzo cut right to his decision.
"In your wish list, you said 'I want to be with a guy that can't fathom to be with another woman' ... the truth is that there is another woman here and at this point I would rather be with her," Lorenzo told the 23-year-old from San Diego. "I don't know what else to say, Sadie."
THG NOTE: He could have invited Britney Spears to accept his ring instead, but that would have been against the show's rules.
Sadie, a classy, spunky, composed and virginal cutie, initially took the news well.
"I'm grateful for everything and thank you, really, thank you... I'm not good but I will be, I'm fine," she said.
But as the conversation continued, Sadie began to get more emotional.
"I just don't know why I did this... I feel so foolish... I thought it was real," Sadie lamented.

I thought (and hoped) it would be Sadie too. Seemed to me that Jenn was focused on becoming a princess, not on building a life with Lorenzo.

That Ricky Nelson look alike didn't choose the "virgin" because he had no intentions of giving a marriage proposal to some chick he couldn't screw/string along for the length of the publicity campaign. In that respect, Sadie won!

Sadie is adorable and she is far better off without that complete loser who didn't even appreciate the fact that she was saving herself for marriage. Poor Lorenzo. Go Sadie!!!!

Sadie was amazing and a perfect catch. Lorenzo is a fool for not choosing her. Hopefully she will find the man who will value, cherish and appreciate her they way she deserves.

Sadie even outclassed Lorenzo's mother! Lorenzo was on the wrong show; perhaps The Biggest Loser would have been more appropriate. He'll recognize his mistake the first time Jenn snorts booze out of her nose at some big Borghese family function; and Sadie? Sadie will be wowing everyone as she graciously co-hosts a $1000 a plate charity luncheon alongside her proud new mother-in-law somewhere in the Hamptons!

lorenzo pretty much lost any and all respect he had built up through the entire show...his tears seemed real but when he made his "feelkings" known i think most of the country was floored; both were amazing girls...but there is no doubt Sadie had all that Lorenzo "said" he was looking for but somehow he chose Jen...
on a side note...as a resident of Georgia I am appalled and embarassed by the actions of Jen's father when they were in Italy, since he made it known that HE was BORN AND RAISED in South Georgia; i think that his treatment of Sadie and her family was intolerable, and I truly hope that the rest of the country does not look to him as a representation of the rest of us from Georgia and other Southern states who have at least some semblance of class and grace...which Jen's father does not
Overall this was one of my favorite seasons of the Bachelor, but I was extremely disappointed with the outcome and Lorenzo in general (I mean as an Italian Prince you should AT THE MINIMUM know ITALIAN)

Did any one else notice the way Jen walked? She looked like she just got off a horse or maybe just getting off the football field. She definitely needs Julie Andrews to teach her how to walk.

Lorenzo's mother looked more a princess of the gypsies.

I think that Lorenzo actually liked and respected Sadie best but because he had no intention of getting married after the show to either her or Jen he chose Jen because he knew Sadie would be the one most hurt. He can also now pretend and move in with Jen for a while but could not have had the same arrangement with Sadie.

Loved Jen, she seemed more down to earth and real, please, I got tired of hearing sadie telling everyone who would hear, even his mother that she was saving herself, as if that was going to insure Lorenzo picked her, and as far as Lorenzo, what's wrong with all of you, he was the best, for all his money and family background and believe me he has money, he was real and so compassionate compared to the other batchlors who were so into themselves, and of course he would say lets get out of this dream world and go into the real world without everyone watching every move and telling us what to do and see how we get along, where are the other batchlors , or they married, maybe one or two, so kudos to you Lorenzo, I would have loved you for my daughter. You are a testament to how well your mother brought you up.

I was very disappointed the way it all played out.
I hoped Sadie would win but I am sue she is the winner after all. I was schocked the way Lorenzo handled his goodby to Sadie in fact I thought it was rude. He tried to be as hurtful as he could.
Real??
December 4th, 2006 8:37 PM
Both sadie and jen were the same person.. snotty elitist materialistic plain lame pale blondes....yuk
Lorenzo would have fared better with the gorgeously exotic dark italian girl who he got rid of but then again he was going for the country club waspy ideal instead of his Italien roots.. no wonder he ended up with 2 blondes..He is supposed to be some italien prince yet cant even speak italien?? pathetic ....Can u say sellout..Judging from his moms trashy blonde roots I see where he gets it from...

Jen is gorgeous, genuine, sweet, and grounded. She will bring a lot of joy and love to Lorenzo's life. Lorenzo is lucky to have her. I wish the couple much happiness!

quisiera tener mas info acerca de este tal Lorenzo Borghese.

Please help... I heard Lorenzo and Jenn are not even together anymore. People are saying they only acted like a couple during publicity interviews in NY and Jenn returned to Florida, while Lorenzo was seen out parting and dancing with someone new
December 7th, 2006 1:34 PM
Well, that finale represents 2 hours of my life I won't get back! You have GOT to be kidding me that he didn't pick Sadie - they were well matched, their backgrounds more similar and, well, Sadie is classy, classy, classy. Um, take the meeting of the parents at the palace for 1 example. I am sure she will find someone who will make her a "princess" in her own right.
December 10th, 2006 11:58 PM
Lorenzo your still young, you'll know when the time is right and find the right woman because it comes from the heart. I'm 45 maried for 16yrs
be patient. Have Fun
December 15th, 2006 8:53 PM

It is true that Jennifer is actively dating a fellow teacher and has been for some time. In fact if you go and but the national Enquirer you will see her and her new beau.
She has been dating this guy prior to shows shown after viewers saw Lorenzo select her.
Jennifer will not be moving in to New York and she states as much.
December 17th, 2006 3:50 PM
Sorry for the typos.. my niece ( who is two) was trying to get my attention so I will re-post.
"It is true that Jennifer is actively dating a fellow teacher and has been for some time. In fact if you go purchase the latest edition of the National Enquirer you will see her and her new beau.
Jennifer has been dating this guy (a fellow teacher) weeks prior to shows shown of her and Lorenzo after the Finale.
Jennifer will not be moving to New York and she states as much."

I heard that Lorenzo's brother Skip announced on HSN that Lorenzo and Sadie were together in NYC. I wish somone can find out if they are together romantically, friends, or business .
December 24th, 2006 2:59 AM
If Lorenzo is with Sadie, Im glad the boy finally came to his senses and realized what a rare person Sadie is. Sadie truly cared for him.. IF he is with SADIE now maybe after watching the show he saw the difference in Jen and Sadie. Jen only wanted to win, she had no real feelings for him. IF shse was in love with Lorenzo she would be with him in NYC. I wish somone would find out the facts soon.

All tabloid rumors and speculation folks! Jennifer and Lorenzo were also reported to spend Christmas together in Miami and New Years in New York.
