We are back to the cliffhanger of Aaron and Charity Lawson on tonight’s finale of ABC’s The Bachelorette! Last week we got to hear from the guys during the Men Tell All. This love show of course has Jesse Palmer taking charge of the 3 hour show tonight! In Fiji, Aaron lets Charity know that he is still here for her and wants her to know that he has not forgotten about her and he still feels the same. She tells him that he can stay so that they can hang out and get to know one another. We also know that she is in love with Joey and Dotun so this is definitely going to be a hectic time for her. She wants to take some time with her and acknowledges that she regretted sending him home. After a great date that didn’t involve a Fantasy Suites aspect, she gets ready to see them for the next rose ceremony.

The guys see Aaron arrive and are surprised but maintain their cool. Charity lets them know that Xavier was sent home and then Aaron arrived. Joey gets the first rose and before she announces the second, she asks Aaron to come with her and she thanks him for being there and although she had regrets letting him go previously, she’s glad he came back, but time was not on their side. She sends Aaron home. She comes back to the men, lets them know that Aaron was sent home and tells them that she will stay true to the process and who she is. She also gives a rose to Dotun as well. We’re down to our final 2.

Back in the studio we learn that Aaron will be on Bachelor in Paradise which we’re sure he’ll enjoy and of course, we’re trying to figure out why Peter’s mom, Barb is in the audience, who will be The Bachelor, and any news on The Golden Bachelor which premieres on Sept 29th!

Her family is in Fiji and her mom, dad, and sister will be able to meet both men. She lets them know that she is in love with both men - which her mom is not happy about as she feels that she needs to be decisive. Joey is up first and arrives ready to meet them.

Joey has a 1-on-1 conversation with his sister and Joey asks her how does the family feel about an interracial relationship. She lets him know that it’s about Charity being with the best person. Joey talks with her mom and has nothing but amazing things to say about her. The family enjoyed being around Joey, so we see them as a great fit for one another.

The family gets to meet Dotun and Charity’s sister lets her know that she can already see Joey as her brother-in-law. Although Dotun had great conversations with her family, Charity’s sister lets her know that Joey is the one that gives her the glow - which we agree with! It seems like her family likes Joey more than Dotun and Charity is frustrated to not get advice from them in the way that she wants it.

So she moves on to her dates with each men and she knows that she was unable to get the clarity that she was looking for. She’s not sure who she will pick at the moment. Her final date with Joey allows them to get to dig deeper and to find out what her family thought about him. Joey has a gift for her, his poem for her from their time in New Orleans when they were on their date.

We come back to the island with Charity for her final date with Dotun. We know that she’s torn as they both seem to be great men for her. They talk about how he felt about meeting her family. He lets her know that they wanted to give them a glimpse of who he is as a person. He was able to show the kind of love that he had for her with them. He creates a treasure hunt that is connected to moments and memories that they shared on their various dates. Even Dotun feels that elements of this date were heavy and that he is concerned. We also know that Charity has been conflicted.

It’s the big day and what the season has been leading up to! Who’s proposal will she accept and what happens after? Neil Lane who we always enjoy seeing, is there to help them men as they select the engagement ring that they will present to her. She makes her way to wear the proposals will take place and gets to connect with Jesse.

We see Joey approach and he begins to tell her how he feels about her. He begins to get down on one knee and she stops him before he gets into position. She tells him how much she feels how he feels about her and how she likes him and she lets him know that she found love deeper with someone else! She admits to being in love with him, while being in a deeper love with someone else. Their love story ends.

Joey lets the audience know that he hadn’t seen this exchange and he blacked out of most of it. Charity comes out on the stage as Joey is sitting with Jesse. They haven’t talked since the breakup. The love, respect, and appreciation that they have for one another is so evident. It’s nice to see that there isn’t any hostility.

We’re back with Charity in Fiji and she says that she is love with Dotun and that this is the love story that she knows will bring her the most happiness. He arrives and makes his way to her. Dotun shares how much he loves her and how she makes him feel. She also lets him know how much he has meant to her and how one conversation can change everything. She tells him that she can see him as a husband and to have her future with his. He asks her to marry him and she says yes! Of course, he receives the final rose!

Back in the studio, Charity and Dotun come out together as we transition into After the Final Rose. Both families are sitting together and we’re still wondering how much Charity’s mom has warmed up to him as she was clearly Team Joey. Now that they’re able to be in public together, they’re excited about being able to live their lives and to begin creating what they want for their futures. Jesse gives them a pre honeymoon trip to Greece. She’s also going to be on Dancing with the Stars and Dotun shares that news with her. Definitely a great night for them with surprises - but what else will we learn before the night is over?

Joey is the newest The Bachelor! We’ll be right there tweeting along during his season which will be amazing to see his journey. Throughout the night Jesse talked with women who could potentially be on The Bachelor and Leah from Hawaii will be one of the contestants on his season. Jesse gave her a card (not a date card), and she can’t open it right now and she has to wait until she steps into the mansion on night one.

Thanks for those that tweeted along or shared their The Bachelorette thoughts with us this season! Each night during this season, we tweeted about The Bachelorette and you chatted along with us (@AthleisureMag + with our Co-Founder/Creative + Style Director, Kimmie Smith @ShesKimmie) to see what took place!

Each week we let you know who our faves were from the last episode and if we’ve changed up since then as it pertains to who we think should go to Hometowns.

We also suggest a podcast that we’ve become obsessed with over the past few seasons, Wondery’s Bachelor Happy Hour to get their feedback!
