*No Spoilers* The Bachelor 18 After The Final Rose (ATFR) Discussion

IDK if *no spoilers* remark is needed for ATFR .  .... My aim is to start a place to discuss anything ATFR-related for us, the posters who usually post on the non-spoiler side. SCMIIW   

bringing over the description from spoiler side (btw, including the finale)

In the Season 18 finale, Juan Pablo must choose which of the two remaining bachelorettes is the perfect fit for himself and his daughter. Before he does so, he introduces the women to his family and goes on a final date with both ladies. Appearing: bachelorettes Chelsie, Kelly, Renee and Sharleen; Sean and Catherine Lowe; and Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried.

Juan Pablo recaps the season in an interview with Chris Harrison. Also: The final two bachelorettes discuss the outcome of the show; and the next star of "The Bachelorette" is announced.

May i just say, im thrilled that Chres will be there. Im sure that SeanCat fans, as well as the Chelsie, Kelly, Renee and Sharleen`s fans shares the same excitement with me..  .

My guess is : Chelsie and Renee will be team Clare while Kelly and Sharleen _(the fierce foursome smelly gank   ) will be cheering their BFF Nikki.

I'm sure they'll be in the audience watching the finale live with CH asking them questions like last season. I found that really annoying although happy to see Lesley & a couple of others.

LOL..i feel the same. So for the selfish-side of me, i`d prefer Chres to take a seat at ATFR, instead...perhaps even share some good news for us, the fans... :Smiley: 

I'm so excited for tonight! I know things have been wacky this season but as of now-- I do not see that Juan Pablo is the jerk that some have inferred from the edit and his apparent relationship with TPTB. As in all seasons (even if I haven't loved the lead or the F1) I wish them the best! I wish and hope for a happy couple at the end of it because that is why I choose to watch the show. Can't wait to see how it all plays out! My theory is that he chooses Nikki but waits to propose until tonight. Here's to a happy couple!    

I'm also looking forward to hearing updates from Des and Chris  :Biggrin: and for seeing Sean and Catherine (although I'm not sure why they will make another appearance since we just saw them at the WTA...again, not that I'm complaining, just wondering)

Maybe he will sing his "song" to Nikki. I still don't think that clip surfaced for nothing, even if it was a deleted scene.

mommy--that would be awesome! (thanks nd!)

I was also wondering why Sean and Catherine are making another appearance so soon. Perhaps they have some "good news" to share. Hopefully it is not more of how fast Sean you-know-what.
That was tmi.

 I started to speculate that they might have some news but, didn't want to start rumors!

Hey, while we're speculating maybe our Juan will play the piano and sing to the one he chose. Now that would be cool...

CH said right after their wedding that we would for sure see parts of SC's wedding reception(you know since it was live we were cut off right after the ceremony) either at the WTA or the ATFR as a 10min segment.... I initially thought that that's why they were called to appear on the WTA but no mention of the reception footage.....
I guess they just want to show off their recent success stories... Like, "Hey! Look folks, yeah this season sucked but the last 2 seasons were super awesome and successful, so don't give up on us just yet."
