So the live finale was long but good. We got to see all the episodes leading up to the finale. Great for someone that had missed a few weeks. Interspersed were the arrival of the characters. Some thoughts about that…Elodie was much more petite than I had thought. Whitney and Audrina were stunning as usual. Lauren looked great as usual. Heidi looked pretty but was flaunting the new boob job WAY TOO MUCH. Yikes. That side view was just awkward.
As for the actual finale. Lauren and Brody seemed closer to actually spilling their guts about their feelings but why oh why are they both being so stubborn. I was happy but unsatisfied with the good bye kiss. It did leave us with some hope though. Speaking of Lauren leaving, I was so excited that she was able to go to Paris. That’s going to be lots of fun for them. I mean I guess it is. Not like I’ve ever been to Paris or anything but the words cotillion and Paris in the same sentence has to be something good. One more thing to note is I got mixed vibes about Lauren and Brody in the aftershow. She answered the hosts question about whether she would be the one to change Brody and she says she learned you can’t change a person. So is she talking Jason here or has she given up on Brody? Their body language on the couches though was definitely comfortable and in no way awkward so either they’re still dating or they’ve decided to be friends with no hard feelings. I’m still hoping for the still dating thing.
As for Heidi and Spencer…obviously I’m glad they are splitting. And did anyone notice she did not have an engagement ring on last night? Between that and Spencer’s no-show I’m guessing it’s done for good. I did feel a little bad for Spencer. He obviously loves Heidi but the guy treats her like crap. And I think Heidi loves him too but like I’ve said in the past, I think she started to see him for who he really is and the thought of marrying him really scared her.
I loved Heidi’s comment about being engaged to a 5 year old. Yes, she’s definitely seeing the light. And then she completely disses him when she sends out her assistant to tell him she’s not at the office while she’s really sitting at her desk. Ouch. I think Heidi’s serious.
So the big announcement on the after show was NOT that Lauren was engaged or somebody got married but that the season finale was not really the season finale and we get to see Whitney and Lauren’s trip to Paris and even past that according to Lauren. So yay!
