"It was a finale like we’ve never seen before: Our leading man didn’t get down on one knee; he didn’t propose," says Lisa Bonos. "Other than this season’s creepy obsession with Colton’s virginity, getting engaged in a whirlwind 10 weeks is the whole point of this show. And yet he still ended up with the woman he loves — Cassie — even though she wasn’t sure she wanted to be in a relationship." Bonos adds: "In breaking from the reality show’s rigid script — in jumping over a fence and trying to outrun the camera crew in the Portuguese wilderness — Colton broke and fixed The Bachelor. He got the girl and didn’t get engaged. For anyone else, this outcome might look like defeat."
