The Bachelorette

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner.

So much for those alleged Bachelor spoilers.

So much for the hate mail you planned on sending to ABC executives.

Few couples in the history of Bachelor Nation have inspired more skepticism among fans than Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes.

For better or worse, viewers have very strong opinions about Katie, and many, many commenters in Bachelorette forums across the internet have expressed doubts about the possibility of marriage for these lovebirds, who are from both different coasts and different countries.

Despite a contentious battle and hefty payout to Chris Harrison at the end of his tenure in the Bachelor franchise, he has been quiet for a while.

Many assumed that this is the result of an agreement to not make waves in the aftermath of this year's controversies.

The finale of Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette had the potential to be the most boring in franchise history.

It ran for three hours, yet we knew within the first 45 minutes that Katie would be giving her final rose to Blake Moynes.

At one point, it looked as though Katie Thurston's Bachelorette finale would be the most boring and uneventful in the show's history.

Two men had already withdrawn themselves from the competition, and Katie sent Justin Glaze home before their scheduled one-on-one date, so we knew about 45 minutes into the broadcast that Blake Moynes would be receiving the final rose.

The world of reality television moves very fast.

One day, Katie Thurston is crying her eyes out over Greg Grippo walking out of The Bachelorette.

As previously detailed, Katie Thurston is happily engaged.

But this doesn't mean Katie Thurston is totally and completely happy.

The third time was the charm for one special contestant on The Bachelorette finale Monday night.

And so, it turns out, was a rather magical evening in The Fantasy Suite.

The finale of Katie Thurston's season of The Bachelorette is almost upon us, and the current mood seems a little similar to the build-up to last night's Olympics closing ceremony.

That is to say, it feels a little bit like the real excitement is behind us, and all that's left is a formality that will probably drag on way too long.

On reality shows and in real-life dating situations, sometimes you're gonna run across someone who's just not there for the right reasons.

In the case of The Bachelorette there are many reasons why a guy might throw his hat in the ring other than a genuine desire to find true love.

Consider yourself SPOILER WARNED.

The following post contains photos from this Monday night's season finale of The Bachelor, which will find Katie Thurston choosing between Justin Glaze and Blake Moynes.

Let's just get the following out of the way up front, okay?

We're not gonna spoil The Bachelorette finale... just yet.

Whether you love them or hate them, Bachelorette spoilers are usually all over the internet before each new season airs a single episode.

While they occasionally miss the mark, for the most part, these insider news items -- particularly the ones reported by spoiler-master Reality Steve -- are pretty reliable.

So much for their happy ending.

Heck, so much for Katie Thurston and Greg Grippo even having an amicable ending.

Hope can be a dangerous thing.

So we were told around the halfway point of The Shawshank Redemption, but Katie Thurston didn't let such a saying fog her thinking early on The Bachelorette last night.

Katie Thurston is getting very close to picking a husband on the latest season of The Bachelorette.

Before she does so, however... before she breaks a couple more hearts and settles on the man she hopes will one day serve as the father of her children...

The Bachelorette is winding to a close, and The Bachelorette Spoilers tell us where all of this is heading.

But you don't need insider info to know that Katie Thurston is upfront about her life, especially when it could help others.

Recently, Clare Crawley opened up to the Bachelor Nation about the serious medical issues related to her implants.

Many who have received breast implants have experienced side effects like hers and had them removed.

Following this week's episode of The Bachelorette, Katie Thurston is down to three suitors.

Also following this week's episode of The Bachelorette, viewers are pretty certain they're down to two.
