You doing alright??We know this week’s EPIC two-night live finale of The Bachelor was a LOT to take in!

Ohhhhhh Peter Weber, whatever are we to make of your weird, wacky, wild season as The Bachelor?!

Because Arie is a wonderful guy, I'm excited for people to meet him for the first time. He's a natural performer and, yes, he's a natural kisser and makes these women feel it right away. He was dismissed very quickly by his children.
