ETA:

@bluwavz Thanks. Monday night is going to be one for the ages!!

Blake saying "I can't give you what you came here for...." will definitely have a 'but' to it. Like "but I can give you my love and my life and we can grow together." Or something like that.

It’s worth noting that Katie is not wearing the ring from the leaked pic when she talks to Greg at ATFR.
However, neither Becca nor Rachel wore their ring when talking to the F2, so IMO that only proves that the ring is an engagement ring, not when she got it.

I think the "insider" on reddit mentioned Katie was wearing "a sparkly dress" during her engagement. Her dress at FRC was lovely, but I don't think "sparkly". Maybe they got engaged at the ATFR?

I remember when we finally got the color of the FRC dress and can kinda tell who the F1 is by the matching tie or pocket kerchief. Sigh. The good old times.

We didn't know it, but it was a much simpler time. The last several years have felt like crazy on steroids.

Thanks @bluwavz, confirms the dress for the FRC which is the one we've seen where she's wearing a ring on her third finger, left hand.

Anyone else feel like I do? Even though the season is shortened, it feels like it's been going on forever!

@Norcalgal IA Katie is not my favourite person. At least I can tolerate her on my screen but makes for a long season. She doesn't give me hope in a true love story. If she does choose Blake, or whoever, imo it won't last long. It will be a fun relationship but not a long lasting one leading to marriage. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm looking forward to the next season.

My crew is super excited about Monday night. Katie won’t go down as my favorite bachelorette but it’s one of the few FRcs where I’m not super convinced of the outcome

This is it for me too. I haven't watched any episodes but plan on watching Monday. Still haven't watched the "break-up", don't really want to either.

I'm actually excited for the finale this season as well. I have always thought Katie's relationship with Greg was a lot of work, I found it exhausting to watch. I'm anxious to watch Katie finally realize that. IMO, I don't see Katie choosing Blake as second choice either. Katie throughout the season has always said a lot of very positive things about Blake, important things that make a relationship work in real life. I've always thought her connection with Blake was stronger, and I can't wait to see her open her eyes to that.

As for it working outside of the Bach-bubble, who knows, but it has just as much of a chance as any other couple. But, since the lockdowns and the show has stayed at one location, all of those couples are still together, makes you wonder if it has contributed to a their success.
