I had been waiting so long to see the finale. It's one thing to hear something and another to actually see it for yourself. I thought Brooke and Christa did a great job with the chores that Matt had given them to do that day. I was pretty impressed, I don't know how I would have done catching crickets or the head of a deer!

I could tell on Brooke’s date with Matt that he was really trying to get her to put herself out there and say what she was afraid of saying. Most people have a fear of fully expressing their feelings for fear of rejection. You could tell Brooke was holding back her feelings because she was scared.

Christa, who had always been open and honest with her feelings, had such a romantic date! You could see how into her he really was. It was so cool to see his house that he built himself, he did an amazing job! Brooke and Christa got along when they were the last two standing, they had an understanding which you could see in the last episode. They both had fallen for the same guy and were trying to figure out whom he would be choosing.

From the episiode it definitely seemed as though Matt would choose Christa. Brooke had totally psyched herself out and said "I'm done, I'm going home" after seeing Matt pull up in the horse-drawn carriage to get Christa for her date. I couldn't believe the whole town showed up for the elimination! That must have been beyond nervewracking for Christa and Brooke. I think it was amazing to see how much the entire town obviously adores Matt and supports him. I saw the look of shock on Christa’s face and have to say I was impressed with how composed she was considering she had just been sent home in front of the entire town. She is an incredible woman: so real, so down-to-earth.  I have such admiration for her handling everything throughout the whole show. She left in such a graceful manner despite how upset she was inside and how confident she seemed in being the one Matt would choose.

Brooke looked completely surprised. Seeing her and Matt together and how happy they were made me realize their connection and their unspoken feelings for each other. It made me cry to see Janet (Matt's mom) cry and his sister Jennae standing there looking so happy and so excited for Matt to start this new chapter in his life. O.K., so I'm a big baby! What can I say? Matt is one of my closest friends and I want him to be happy. Seeing him so happy and seeing his family so overwhelmed with joy and excitement was really touching. I wish Matt and Brooke the best of luck! Thank you all for tuning in, I hope you enjoyed the show :)
