AllAboutLove wrote:I don't doubt what is said on the show and the words used but I still think that none of them were in love or loved each other as love to me is a verb/an action and not words, especially words said on a heightened TV show like this. I am sure there were feelings on the show with a few of them but I don't think it was love and that's okay. It's just a tv show

I agree. I didn't see him in love with either one, however, he was into Lyndsay and IMO that is who he wanted to try a relationship with. With Mik there was no spark, no X factor and nobody can tell me that someone would want to start a relationship with someone they were not feeling it with. It just doesn't happen. If Lyndsay had lived closer and he had picked her, then I would have bought this ending....agreeing to date to see where things go. That is like the Australian and NZ endings and perfectly reasonable. 


This ending totally lacked any kind of emotion. Mik could not have looked any more miserable....at the FRC and at the AFTR. In fact, I would bet money she had been crying before the FRC and knew what was about to go down. She looked puffy and drained....like a lamb to the slaughter.

I was not a fan of anyone this season. Nobody really drew me in or engaged me. IMO the casting was terrible. Whoever picked Chris as the lead should be fired. So this is not me "wanting" Lyndsay to win, this is what I saw and the only thing that makes sense with this terrible final. After this, I would not be sad if they didn't renew the Canadian show. I hope Arie can fake it a lot better than this!!!

Regardless of the let down flat ending, I much prefer the Canadian show to the American. To me the US Show is a circus, all manufactured drama and it has stopped even pretending to be about romance between lead and suitors.  I find the US show completely boring and appreciate that the Canadian show at least attempts to give the 'romantic' connections some air time.

ITA with the bold.  I haven't seen the finale and I look forward to watching even though I know the ending.  I can see why you have those feelings about the US franchise, it does seem like a circus, but out of all the other franchises if I am not wrong, is the only one that has produced marriages and long relationships.  JMO
