The finale consisted of a lot of tears from Emily and hardly any tears from the men. Once she was able to surface from face-sucking with Arie the entire season, Emily saved him the embarrassment of getting down on one knee only to be rejected. He seemed shocked, but he acted the best way anyone could in that situation and left without crying or screaming. The last few weeks of The Bachelorette had one thing missing from past seasons: drama. The producers and editors were forcing it on the television since Emily actually did a good job kicking off men with wrong intentions, the men we love to hate. She is a respectable Southern lady, and that just doesn’t cut it for a reality TV show like The Bachelorette.
