Let's start by joining Andi in the Dominican. Nick/Lithgow is the first to meet her family (hi, Hy!) and they listen to the lines of BS Nick has to share. Where's the Bachelor Farmer? I need a shovel cuz it's getting deep in here. He is still feeling confident about where he stands, so we bid adieu to him and get ready for the next guy.
Josh. What can I say about him?? He's tall, dark, handsome, and seems to be the total package. None of this is new information, but I just like talking about him because he's dreamy :) He seemed very nervous to meet her family, but I think it was meant to be because he and Hy had on matching outfits:

For not having met before they sure seem to be in sync with each other! I can see the family portrait now. Andi's family seemed to like Josh as well, but the icing on the cake for me was that he asked Hy for permission to propose. Old fashioned, southern charm -- and I drank up every minute of it.
Time for final dates. Josh got the advantage and went on a yacht ride, complete with snorkeling and then dinner. Josh made Andi her own baseball card, which was a sweet nod to his personality and their 'journey' together.
Next we are forced to sit through another sputtering date with Nick. Bleh. They went off-roading and had a picnic in the forest. Big whoop - move on. He talks through his nose a lot, leading him to sound breathy and spitty when he speaks (hate it). He needs to enunciate and not act so weird – he has talked to other humans before, yes? He also talked with his hand in front of his mouth a lot, similar to this:
Their date seemed to stretch on for 40 mins our time (not really, but it just felt like it) most of which so he could waxing poetic about grocery shopping; I just wanted to hit the fast forward button. His gift to her is a necklace filled with sand. He claims he filled it from the beach he professed his love for her on, but I think he ordered it from Etsy. Where would he have gotten the supplies?? If he did make it, it probably had some of his hair and teeth in it too - creep.
Josh is picking out rings with Neil Lane, where he picks out a pumpkin sized sparkler. Then we cut to Andi knocking on Nick's door – which has the ominous music of impending doom. Ooohhh!! This is getting good!! I can only hope she's dumping him ... please, let it be so! ... she's talking, she's getting choked up ... and then:

| BOOM! |
She brought the hammer down! She doesn't feel it, he makes her think too much. So long, farewell! He's talking to the camera in the ride of shame but without subtitles I have no idea what he's saying. Just as well, I don't really care.
Ok let's get to the proposal. Josh shared his heart, Andi shared her internal monologue outloud (again), and finally said that she loves him! I'd show you the montage of the proposal, but really let's just see that rock:

| Yeah, baby! |
There we have it! Now the ATFR special.
Nick has been trying to talk to Andi since she sent him home (even showing up at the Men Tell All), but was constantly rebuffed. He was there tonight, though, and it was awkward!!
More tears, more stuttering, and worst of all was he aired their very personal laundry on national television, which was really uncalled for and very ungentlemanly. Buck up dude, like you’ve never had Fantasy Suite experiences with a girl you didn’t love before? Please. Let’s not pretend. Production didn't put a stop to their conversation soon enough, and since Nick was just wanting to beat a dead horse after dropping the S bomb about their overnight date, Andi was about to lay the smack down. Best to get Nick off stage ASAP.
On to happier things we got to see Andi and Josh together and they are adorable. I hope they make it, they seem to be a good fit. Possible spring wedding, which I'm sure Des isn't happy about (what happened to her BTW, she fell off the Bachelor radar)
Well friends, that wraps up this season! Thank you for sticking with me through the highs and lows of this season - it was quite the enjoyable ride!
Stay tuned for updates on Bachelor in Paradise, and who the next Bachelor is! Any guesses??
