GET READY FOR THE DRAMATIC

SEASON FINALE OF

"THE BACHELORETTE."

>> I KNOW THAT I AM GETTING

ENGAGED, BUT I DON'T KNOW

WHO IT'S GOING TO BE.

>> WHEN CHARITY FACES

THE MOST DIFFICULT CHOICE OF HER

LIFE...

>> I STILL SEE YOU AS A WIFE.

>> YOU ARE MY TREASURE.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME CRY.

>> 110%.

>> THIS WAS THE MOST SPECIAL

NIGHT THAT WE'VE HAD TOGETHER.

>> I'M SORRY I'M CRYING.

>> THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT,

LIKE, MY HEART IS BEATING.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME

DOWN TO ONE PERSON.

>> I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE HERE

AND REGRET MY DECISION.

>> OH, MY GOD.

>> IT'S SCARY.

TO THINK THAT CHARITY MIGHT NOT

CHOOSE YOU.

>> I CAN'T IMAGINE CHARITY WITH

ANYBODY ELSE BUT ME.

>> YOU'VE GOT GUYS THAT HAVE

BEEN TO THE FANTASY SUITES.

AND THOSE RELATIONSHIPS MIGHT BE

SOLIDIFIED ALREADY.

>> CAN I JUST, LIKE,

HAVE A MOMENT, PLEASE?

>> HOW WILL SHE MAKE THIS

LIFE-CHANGING DECISION?

>> THIS IS SO OVERWHELMING.

I'M JUST TORN.

>> DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU,

I BELIEVE YOU KNOW.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO MAKE THAT

DECISION, CHARITY.

YOU HAVE TO SAY IT.

>> CHARITY'S EMOTIONAL SEARCH

FOR HER HUSBAND ENDS TONIGHT.

>> [SOBS]

>> FOR THE FIRST TIME, I THINK

IN ALL THIS, I'M, LIKE,

TRULY NOT OKAY.

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT

THE FACT THAT OUR STORY ENDS

TODAY.

>> IT'S LIVE.

RIGHT NOW.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

HOW ARE YOU?

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING H

HERE.

GOOD EVENING,

BACHELOR NATION!

IT'S SO GREAT SEEING ALL OF YOU!

I'M JESSE PALMER

AND I'M COMING TO YOU LIVE

FROM LOS ANGELES!

[CHEERING]

THIS IS THE DRAMATIC THREE-HOUR

SEASON FINALE EVERYONE

IN AMERICA HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.

WELL, IT'S FINALLY HERE AND SO

MANY BACHELOR NATION FAVORITES

HAVE JOINED US

TO SEE HOW THIS WHOLE THING

UNFOLDS.

SO LUCKY TO HAVE SO MANY OF OUR

BACHELOR NATION FAMILY WITH US

ON SUCH A NIGHT.

NOW WHILE I'M NOT GOING TO TELL

YOU HOW CHARITY'S JOURNEY ENDS,

I WILL PROMISE YOU THAT LATER

TONIGHT, SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN

RIGHT HERE ON THIS VERY STAGE

THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

ON ANY SEASON.

EVER.

WHAT IS IT?

OOH, YOU'RE ABOUT TO FIND

OUT.

BUT FIRST, LET'S HEAR IT FOR OUR

BACHELORETTE, CHARITY, PEOPLE!

HAS SHE NOT JUST BEEN AMAZING?

SHE REALLY HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

OF COURSE THERE'S ONLY ONE MAN

WHO WILL WIN HER HEART.

IS THAT DOTUN?

OR WILL IT BE JOEY?

OR MAYBE IT'S AARON WHO HAS JUST

FLOWN ALL THE WAY TO FIJI FOR

ANOTHER CHANCE AT LOVE WITH

CHARITY.

WHAT I CAN PROMISE YOU IS IT

WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE,

ONE OF THE MOST EMOTIONAL AND

WITHOUT QUESTION

ONE OF THE MOST HEARTBREAKING

FINALES IN "BACHELORETTE"

HISTORY!

AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH,

YOUR NEW BACHELOR IS HERE!

YEAH!

I WONDER WHO THAT'S GOING TO BE.

BUT EVEN THAT'S NOT ALL.

NOT ONLY WILL YOU MEET THE NEW

BACHELOR RIGHT HERE ON THIS VERY

STAGE, BUT SOMEONE SITTING HERE

IN OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE WILL

IN FACT BE DATING HIM

NEXT SEASON.

YOU HEARD ME RIGHT.

AND GUESS WHAT?

THIS LUCKY LADY HAS NO CLUE

THIS IS EVEN HAPPENING.

SO WHO IS THE BACHELOR GONNA BE?

AND WHICH DESERVING WOMAN

FROM OUR STUDIO AUDIENCE WILL BE

DATING HIM?

WE'LL ALL FIND OUT TOGETHER.

BUT FIRST LET'S GO BACK TO FIJI

WHERE CHARITY'S JOURNEY

HAS TAKEN AN UNEXPECTED TURN.

THE LIVE "BACHELORETTE" FINALE

STARTS RIGHT NOW!

[APPLAUSE]

♪

>> THIS IS CRAZY.

I JUST DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON.

AARON WALKS UP TO ME,

LITERALLY OUT OF NOWHERE.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S

HAPPENING.

LIKE, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE HIM.

I...

EXCUSE ME, I'M HAVING ACID

REFLUX.

I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT HIM.

HE WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE I

LITERALLY WAS FALLING IN LOVE

WITH.

AND AFTER HOMETOWNS, I DID NOT

WANT TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO THIS

MAN.

IT WAS THE HARDEST THING

I EVER HAD TO DO.

BUT, LIKE, I DID SEND HIM HOME.

OH.

HELP ME, LORD.

AT THE SAME TIME, YOU CANNOT

SHUT OFF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT

SOMEONE, WHETHER THAT'S TWO DAYS

GO BY, A WEEK...

ALWAYS GREET ME WITH A SMILE.

BUT THE REALITY IS THAT IT IS

NOT JUST ME AND AARON.

I'M IN LOVE WITH JOEY AND VERY

MUCH IN LOVE WITH DOTUN AS WELL.

[SIGHS]

>> THAT'S HOW I FEEL.

OH, MY GOD.

>> THERE'S A ROSE CEREMONY

TOMORROW.

>> LET'S GO SIT OVER HERE.

>> THIS IS INSANE.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, LIKE,

YOU SHOWING UP OBVIOUSLY SAYS

A WHOLE LOT.

AND IT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

BUT I WANT TO KNOW FROM YOU,

LIKE, IN THIS MOMENT, WHAT IS IT

THAT YOU WANT?

>> YEAH.

UM...

[SIGHS]

>> IT'S OKAY.

>> LIKE, THIS JOURNEY WAS NOT

EASY AT ALL.

LIKE, THE [BLEEP] WHAT I HAD TO

DO TO JUST KEEP IN IT, CHARITY.

>> THIS HAS BEEN THE TOUGHEST

JOURNEY.

NOW HERE I AM, PUTTING MYSELF

OUT THERE AGAIN.

I REALLY HOPE THAT CHARITY JUST

ACCEPTS ME BACK AND ALSO GIVES

ME A CHANCE TO SHOW HER THE MAN

I TRULY AM.

CHARITY, I THINK SO HIGHLY OF

YOU.

I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW THAT.

LIKE, I CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH,

HOW MUCH I SEE IN YOU

AND OUR FUTURE.

I STILL SEE YOU AS A WIFE.

I STILL SEE YOU AS THE MOTHER OF

MY CHILDREN.

THOSE FEELINGS HAVE NOT GONE

ANYWHERE.

AND, UM...

[EXHALES]

LIKE, IT HIT ME PRETTY HARD.

AND I NEVER FORGOT HOW YOU MADE

ME FEEL.

YOU KNOW, YOU SEE ME AS SOMEONE

THAT CAN BE YOUR HUSBAND.

AND I'M GOING TO JUST HOLD THIS

IN, NO TEARS.

>> NO, YOU'RE GOOD.

>> I WOULD LOVE TO STAY

AND HAVE MORE TIME WITH YOU.

BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT MORE THAT

I'VE BEEN WANTING TO SHOW YOU.

I WANT TO BE PROTECTIVE.

I WANT TO BE IN YOUR CORNER,

REGARDLESS OF ANY DECISION THAT

YOU MAKE.

BUT I WANT TO PUT OUT THERE THAT

THAT'S WHY I AM HERE.

AND I AM WILLING FOR ANY RISK

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE WORTH IT,

CHARITY.

>> I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW I

ENDED UP HERE, BUT MY GUT IS

TELLING ME THAT I OWE IT TO THIS

MAN TO GIVE HIM TIME, GIVE

MYSELF TIME, TO NOT GIVE UP

RIGHT NOW ON WHAT WE ACTUALLY

HAVE BUILT.

OUR FIRST DATE, I REMEMBER AND I

WILL NEVER FORGET, YOU WERE THE

ABSOLUTE FIRST PERSON THAT I

ENVISIONED AS, LIKE, MY HUSBAND.

AND I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

IF YOU WOULD STAY.

WE COULD DO, LIKE, DINNER

AND JUST HANG AND CHAT

IN MY ROOM IF THAT'S OKAY?

>> THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

>> OKAY?

>> YEAH.

>> OH, I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

YOU LOOK GOOD IN FIJI,

BY THE WAY.

>> YOU LOOK GOOD.

YOU LOOK SO GOOD.

[LAUGHTER]

>> KISSING CHARITY, IT JUST

FEELS LIKE THIS ALL WASN'T

FOR NOTHING.

THERE'S LIFE COMING BACK INTO

ME NOW.

AND I'M RIGHT BACK IN IT

EMOTIONALLY.

AND I FEEL LIKE I HAVEN'T SMILED

THIS BIG IN DAYS.

>> I WILL SEE YOU LATER.

THANK YOU.

>> SEE YOU IN A BIT.

>> OKAY.

>> SEEING HER JUST BROUGHT BACK

ALL THE EMOTIONS THAT I'VE

ALWAYS FELT.

IT'S GOOD TO FEEL AGAIN.

CHARITY.

>> UH-OH.

OH, HEY, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WHAT?

>> ONE LAST KISS.

>> OH.

>> LOOKS LIKE AARON IS STAYING.

>> CHASING AFTER ME!

>> YOU BETTER GET READY NOW.

>> BYE!

>> I'M GLAD THAT HE DID NOT GIVE

UP ON THIS AND THAT HE SAW ME AS

SOMEONE WORTH FIGHTING FOR.

♪

I RECOGNIZE, LIKE, THE EFFORT

HE HAS PUT IN TO COMING ALL

THE WAY HERE.

IT'S NOT A SMALL EFFORT.

LIKE, THAT IS A GRAND GESTURE.

AT THIS POINT, MY FEAR IS,

CAN WE GET THERE?

HELLO.

>> HELLO.

WOW, YOU LOOK GORGEOUS.

OF COURSE.

>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GOING

TO DO.

AARON IS HERE NOW.

TWO OTHER GUYS ARE STILL HERE

AS WELL.

NO CLUE.

I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A TOAST

TO, OOH, A HARD RESET.

[LAUGHTER]

BUT, TRULY, JUST YOU BEING HERE

AND TAKING THE TIME TO COME BACK

MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO ME.

AND I'M BEYOND APPRECIATIVE OF

THAT.

AND WE'LL SEE WHERE THIS GOES.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

CHEERS.

>> AARON BEING HERE, I WAS

OVERWHELMED INITIALLY SEEING HIM

TODAY.

BUT HIS ENERGY IS GREAT.

I FEEL LIKE HE'S IN A GOOD

HEADSPACE.

IT'S HELPING ME TO BE OPEN AND

COMFORTABLE AROUND HIM AND TO

KNOW, LIKE, THAT HASN'T

NECESSARILY SHIFTED OR CHANGED

ANY, CONSIDERING EVERYTHING

WE'VE GONE THROUGH.

THAT IS HUGE.

>> HAVE YOU HAD ANY INSECURITIES

THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY,

THIS PROCESS?

>> EVERY DAY.

>> EVERY DAY?

>> I MEAN, WE'RE HUMAN -- NO.

FOR ME, YEAH.

AS I GO THROUGH THIS, IT'S LIKE,

I QUESTION MYSELF.

I QUESTION LITERALLY WHILE WE

ARE HERE IN THIS MOMENT,

AM I MAKING THE BEST CHOICES?

AM I CAPABLE OF DOING ALL OF

THIS SOMETIMES?

THOSE ARE THINGS I SIT

AND I JOURNAL ABOUT.

AND I TRY TO MAKE SENSE OF MY

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS.

AND IT'S TROUBLING, AT TIMES,

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I BATTLE

AND I GO BACK AND FORTH WITH

ON THE DAILY.

I'M NOT PERFECT, AND NO ONE IS

BUT, YEAH, I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES

THOSE EXPECTATIONS ARE THERE.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO

CARRY THAT.

>> WOW.

YOU'VE ALWAYS ROSE TO THE

OCCASION.

YOUR STRENGTH IS DEFINITELY

APPARENT.

YOU MAKE ME FEEL VERY SPECIAL.

AND WHETHER YOU KNOW THAT OR

NOT, I JUST FEEL GOOD EVERY TIME

I SEE YOU.

NEVER STOP BEING YOU, CHARITY.

>> COMING INTO THIS WEEK, I FELT

CONFIDENT WITH JOEY AND DOTUN.

BUT AARON, SOMEHOW, MADE IT ON

FIJI AIRWAYS AND DECIDED TO COME

ALL THE WAY OVER HERE.

LIKE, NOW I AM RECONSIDERING

EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU FOR THIS.

AND THANK YOU FOR COMING

AND BEING HERE.

>> OF COURSE.

>> LIKE, IT'S...

THIS IS A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

HE CAME BACK AND I GRANTED THIS

OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM BECAUSE I

KNEW HOW MUCH I REGRETTED MY

DECISION LAST TIME.

I DO OBVIOUSLY HAVE A LOT STILL

ON MY PLATE TO THINK ABOUT

AND PROCESS AND DEAL WITH.

BUT I WILL TALK TO YOU VERY,

VERY SOON.

OKAY?

OKAY.

LET ME WALK YOU OUT.

>> AARON SHOWING UP TODAY, THERE

IS THIS NEW ADDED LAYER OF

PRESSURE GOING INTO THIS NEXT

ROSE CEREMONY.

THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

DO I KEEP HIM?

DO I NOT KEEP HIM?

DO I MOVE FORWARD?

DO I NOT MOVE FORWARD?

>> I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

>> OKAY, BYE.

>> RIGHT NOW, IN THIS MOMENT,

I HAVE NO IDEA.

[APPLAUSE]

[APPLAUSE]

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVE

"BACHELORETTE" FINALE

THAT ALREADY HAS ALL OF

AMERICA TALKING.

SO MANY QUESTIONS.

UP TO THIS POINT.

WHO WILL WIN CHARITY'S HEART?

WHO WILL THE NEXT BACHELOR BE?

AND WHO HERE FROM OUR STUDIO

AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE DATING

HIM?

YOU'LL GET ANSWERS TO ALL THOSE

QUESTIONS SHORTLY.

BUT FIRST, CHARITY HAS

THREE HOPEFUL MEN.

AND SHE HAS ONLY TWO ROSES

TO HAND OUT.

♪

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

>> GOING INTO TODAY'S ROSE

CEREMONY, I HAVE THREE

INCREDIBLE GUYS:

AARON, JOEY, AND DOTUN.

ALL GREAT GUYS.

WITH AARON, AARON CAME ALL THE

WAY HERE AND CONTINUOUSLY SHOWS

THAT HE IS SOMEONE WHO WILL PUT

IN THE EFFORT AND THE ENERGY

TO MAKE SOMETHING WORK.

I HAD THE FIRST DATE OF THE

SEASON WITH HIM, AND IT WAS

A GREAT DATE.

IT WAS A DATE THAT SET THE TONE

FOR WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.

AND THE FIRST PERSON IN ALL OF

THIS THAT I SAW POTENTIALLY AS

MY FUTURE HUSBAND.

WITH JOEY, IT'S SWEET.

IT'S PURE.

AND I SEE JOEY AS SOMEONE WHO IS

WILLING TO EMBRACE EVERY SINGLE

ASPECT OF ME.

WITH DOTUN, IT'S EXCITING.

IT'S EASE, IT'S EFFORTLESS.

HE SHOWS ME THAT THIS IS SOMEONE

I CAN FOREVER COUNT ON.

AND WILL DO LITERALLY ANYTHING

FOR ME.

TODAY, IT'S GOING TO BE PURE

CONFUSION FOR ALL OF THE GUYS.

AARON HAS NO IDEA THAT XAVIER IS

NO LONGER HERE.

JOEY AND DOTUN ARE GOING TO WALK

IN THINKING THAT THEY ARE GOING

TO BE SEEING XAVIER AND INSTEAD,

THEY WILL BE SEEING AARON.

IT IS INSANE.

I'VE SEEN A LOT THIS WEEK.

I HAVE THREE GUYS, TWO ROSES.

THAT IS BOTH EQUALLY TERRIFYING

BUT EXCITING.

♪

>> THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT WEEK

FOR ME.

I FINALLY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO

TELL CHARITY THAT I WAS IN LOVE

WITH HER.

BUT THEN FOR HER TO RECIPROCATE

AND SAY IT BACK IS EVERYTHING

YOU WANT IN THAT MOMENT.

AND THEN WE GO TO OUR FANTASY

SUITES AND HAVE AN AMAZING NIGHT

TOGETHER.

LIKE, WE JUST TOOK OUR

RELATIONSHIP TO ANOTHER LEVEL IN

SO MANY WAYS.

THE ROSE CEREMONY IS A WEIRD

FEELING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I'M

NOT SURE WHAT TO EXPECT.

I HAVEN'T REALLY FOCUSED ON THE

FACT THAT XAVIER AND DOTUN BOTH

HAD OVERNIGHTS AND HAD THE

CHANCE OF ALSO GETTING THAT

ADDITIONAL TIME WITH CHARITY.

I'M SURE THERE'S A CHANCE THAT

THEY BOTH WENT VERY WELL.

BUT I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO START

TO LET MY MIND GO THERE.

BECAUSE IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT

CHARITY MIGHT NOT CHOOSE YOU.

>> COMING INTO THIS ROSE

CEREMONY, I'M FEELING READY

AND PREPARED AND HAPPY,

ECSTATIC.

I LET CHARITY KNOW THAT I AM

FULLY IN LOVE WITH HER AND SHE

ALSO LET ME KNOW THAT SHE'S ALSO

IN LOVE WITH ME.

AND THAT JUST MAKES ME FEEL

LIKE I'M ON CLOUD NINE.

THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THOSE

NERVES, YOU KNOW, AS SOON AS

I STEP UP ON THE PODIUM.

ALWAYS, THOSE NERVES COME.

BECAUSE THEN YOU START THINKING,

"WHAT IF SHE'S HAVING THE SAME

FEELINGS FOR SOME OF THE OTHER

GUYS"?

AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME

NERVOUS.

♪

>> WITH CHARITY, MY FEELINGS

HAVEN'T CHANGED FOR HER.

I REALLY SEE HER AS THIS

INCREDIBLE WOMAN.

THE MOTHER OF MY CHILDREN,

MY FUTURE WIFE.

THERE'S NO DOUBT I STILL HAVE

THESE STRONG FEELINGS.

THAT'S VERY APPARENT.

BUT YOU'VE GOT GUYS THAT HAVE

BEEN TO THE FANTASY SUITES.

AND THOSE RELATIONSHIPS MIGHT BE

SOLIDIFIED ALREADY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE END,

I PUT MY BEST FOOT FORWARD.

SO, HOPEFULLY SHE FEELS

CONFIDENT IN ME TOO.

♪

>> WHAT'S GOING ON?

AARON'S HERE, XAVIER'S NOT.

I'M DOING DEFINITELY

DOUBLE TAKES.

I'M TRYING TO GET MY HEAD

WRAPPED AROUND IT.

I'M QUESTIONING HOW AARON GOT

HERE.

♪

>> HI, GUYS.

I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY

SAYING I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE

WEEK THAT I'VE HAD IN FIJI.

AND I APPRECIATE EVERY SINGLE

ONE OF YOU ALL SO MUCH.

IT'S ALSO BEEN A VERY EVENTFUL

WEEK.

THE OBVIOUS: XAVIER'S NOT HERE.

IT WAS DIFFICULT, BUT IT WAS

NECESSARY.

MOVING ALONG IN THIS WEEK, AARON

SHOWED UP IN HOPES OF JUST

CONTINUING TO FIGHT.

AND SO I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOU.

I OWE IT TO MYSELF TO CONTINUE

TO BE HONEST AND OPEN WITH EVERY

SINGLE ONE OF YOU ALL.

I SAY IT EVERY SINGLE CEREMONY.

I TRULY AM ONLY DOING MY BEST.

BUT AT THIS STAGE, I'M DOING

WHAT I KNOW IS RIGHT.

AND WHAT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THE

MOST CONFIDENCE IN.

AND I VALUE AND I CHERISH EVERY

SINGLE ONE OF YOU ALL, NO MATTER

WHAT.

JOEY.

JOEY, WILL YOU ACCEPT THIS ROSE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

AARON, CAN YOU COME WITH ME?

>> YEAH.

>> [SIGHS]

TWISTS AND TURNS.

THIS [BLEEP] IS CRAZY.

>> I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY

SAYING...

I KNOW I EXPRESSED, LIKE, HAVING

REGRETS WITH LAST WEEK.

BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THIS

TIME THAT WE HAD THIS WEEK TO

JUST, I GUESS, GET MORE CLARITY.

AS, LIKE, UNFORTUNATE IT IS,

IT'S JUST TIME WASN'T ON OUR

SIDE AND WHERE WE NEEDED TO BE.

HEAR.

AND TRUTHFUL IN THIS MOMENT.

BEYOND GRATEFUL FOR GETTING TO

KNOW YOU AND MEETING YOU AND

YOU SHOWING ME YOUR HEART AND

THAT NEVER WAVERING AT ALL

IN THIS PROCESS,

IN THIS JOURNEY.

JUST, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

>> I'LL JUST SAY THAT, THE RISK

THAT I TOOK, YOU ARE JUST THAT

SPECIAL OF A WOMAN, CHARITY.

I HOPE YOU REALIZE THAT.

IT JUST GAVE ME HOPE FOR WHAT MY

WIFE EVEN LOOKED LIKE AND...

CHARITY, I'M ALWAYS IN YOUR

CORNER.

>> THANK YOU.

I'M ALWAYS IN YOURS.

>> [EXHALES]

>> I DON'T THINK HE'S COMING

BACK, DUDE.

I THINK THAT WAS A GOOD-BYE.

>> SAYING GOOD-BYE TO AARON

TONIGHT WAS NOT EASY.

BUT I KNOW, LIKE, ME AND AARON

BTOH SHARE SO MUCH RESPECT FOR

EACH OTHER.

I KNOW THAT HE WOULD ONLY WANT

HONESTY OUT OF ME.

AND I GAVE HIM THAT.

>> BYE, AARON.

>> BYE, CHARITY.

>> IN THE END, I HAD TO BE

TRUTHFUL.

TRULY TO MYSELF.

AARON COMING HERE, TRYING TO GET

MORE TIME, IT JUST TRULY,

HONESTLY, WASN'T GOING TO BE

ENOUGH TO PRECEDE OR SURPASS

WHERE I STOOD WITH JOEY

AND DOTUN.

OKAY, SORRY.

I'M BACK.

I JUST WANT TO OBVIOUSLY ADDRESS

YOU GUYS BEFORE I HOP BACK INTO

EVERYTHING.

COMING INTO THIS WEEK, I DID NOT

KNOW WHAT WAS OBVIOUSLY GOING TO

HAPPEN.

AND WHEN AARON SHOWED UP,

IT 100% TOOK ME BY SURPRISE.

BUT I WILL ALWAYS GIVE 100% TO

EVERY SINGLE RELATIONSHIP AND BE

PRESENT AND EXHAUST ABSOLUTELY

EVERYTHING.

BUT IT JUST WAS NOT IT.

I DO FEEL SO CONFIDENT WITH YOU

TWO.

SO, WITH THAT...

PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TO FIGURE OUT

A FOREVER WITH.

>> TO LOVE!

>> WHOO-HOO!

>> I'M HERE NOW WITH AARON.

AARON, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE.

HOW HARD WAS IT FOR YOU TO FLY

ALL THE WAY TO FIJI FOR ANOTHER

CHANCE

ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT WORK OUT?

>> THE 12-HOUR FLIGHT WAS THE

HARDEST PART, TO START OFF WITH.

I WAS THINKING, WHAT'S GOING TO

HAPPEN?

I KNEW SHE KNEW I WASN'T COMING

BACK.

YOU KNOW, SHE WAS RIGHT BY THE

POOL, SIPPING A MARTINI.

ALL OF A SUDDEN I AM OUT HERE

JUST KIND OF INTRUDING, IN A

WAY.

I FELT A LOT OF THINGS.

I WAS LIKE, I NEVER PUT MYSELF

OUT THERE LIKE THAT BEFORE.

PAST RELATIONSHIPS, EVEN IN MY

FOUR-YEAR RELATIONSHIP IN

COLLEGE, I'VE NEVER COME OUT OF

MY SHELL THAT WAY, JESSE.

IT WAS A HUGE RISK BUT I KNEW IN

THIS CONFINED ENVIRONMENT HAD TO

PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD AND I

COULDN'T GIVE UP.

>> YOU HAVE PUT EVERYTHING ON

THE LINE.

SAD THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR

YOU AND CHARITY BUT I KNOW THIS

ISN'T THE LAST WE'VE SEEN OF YOU

BECAUSE YOU'RE PACKING YOUR BAY

FOR THE BEACHES OF PARADISE, OH,

YEAH

WE HAVE A SNEAK PEEK LATER.

IT IS SOMETHING.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE

TONIGHT.

WE COME BACK, DOTUN AND JOEY

MEET CHARITY'S FAMILY AND WE

COME BACK, THE NEW BACHELOR WILL

BE HERE LIVE ON THIS VERY STAGE

AND SOMEONE IN OUR STUDIO

AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE DATING

HIM.

WHO IS IT?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY DON'T KNOW.

IT'S ALL COMING UP WHEN THE

LIVE FINALE OF "THE

BACHELORETTE" CONTINUES

>> DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT

FEELS LIKE TO LIVE IN A

FAIRY TALE?

WE CAN HELP.

APPLIED TO BE ON THE NEXT SEASON

OF "THE BACHELOR."

GO TO ABC.com/Casting NOW.

[APPLAUSE]

>> IT'S A NEW DAY IN FIJI.

YESTERDAY, SENDING AARON HOME,

THAT WAS A HARD PILL TO SWALLOW.

BUT AN ENGAGEMENT IS DAYS AWAY.

AND I'M DOWN TO THE TWO MOST

INCREDIBLE GUYS, JOEY AND DOTUN.

I DO LOVE THEM BOTH.

I CAN'T DECIDE ON WHAT DIRECTION

I'M GOING TO MOVE FORWARD IN.

I REALLY NEED HELP.

AND THAT'S WHY TODAY IS A VERY

BIG DAY.

BECAUSE I GET TO SEE MY FAMILY.

>> SO, WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO

CONNECT ON WITH THE GUYS?

>> IF DO THEY ENJOY SPORTS,

YOU KNOW, HEY.

THAT'S SOME POINTS.

[LAUGHTER]

>> AH!

>> [LAUGHS]

>> HI!

THIS WEEK, MY FAMILY IS MEETING

BOTH JOEY AND DOTUN.

I HAVE MY MOM, VICKIE.

MY DAD, DAVID.

AND MY SISTER, MIA.

MY FAMILY'S INPUT IS HUGE.

WHILE I VALUE EVERYONE'S

OPINION, MY MOM IS TRULY MY

BEST FRIEND.

SO HER OPINION IS EVERYTHING.

>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> GOOD TO SEE Y'ALL.

>> TODAY, WHEN I SEE CHARITY

WALK IN, THAT MAKE ME FEEL VERY

GOOD.

I HADN'T SEEN HER IN A WHILE.

SO AS A MOM, I CAN EXHALE

A LITTLE BIT MORE.

>> I MISSED YOU GUYS A LOT.

>> WE DID, WE MISSED YOU TOO.

>> YEAH.

IT'S BEEN A GOOD JOURNEY THOUGH,

I WILL SAY.

I STARTED WITH 25 GUYS BUT WE

ARE DOWN TO TWO.

JOEY AND DOTUN.

HONESTLY, LIKE, THE GREATEST

PEOPLE I FEEL LIKE I HAVE MET

EVER.

>> [LAUGHS]

GOOD.

>> SO THAT RESULTS IN ME

TWO PEOPLE, WHICH IS CRAZY.

THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE ALSO IN

LOVE WITH ME.

SO IT'S A HAPPY THING BUT ALSO

MAKES MY JOB A LOT HARDER.

>> WHEN CHARITY SAID WHAT SHE

SAID ABOUT BEING IN LOVE WITH

TWO PEOPLE, IT MAKES ME FEEL

UNCOMFORTABLE.

FOR CHARITY?

"DECISIVENESS" IS A WORD THAT

SHE HAS TO REALLY GET

COMFORTABLE WITH IN LIFE.

>> TODAY, YOU GUYS WILL BE

MEETING JOEY FIRST.

HE IS SOMEONE WHO IS INCREDIBLY

COMPASSIONATE.

AND I THINK YOU GUYS WILL REALLY

LOVE HIM.

I'M GOING TO GO GRAB HIM.

>> I THINK IT MAKES HER FEEL

GOOD ABOUT THE FACT THAT, "I CAN

SAY THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH TWO

PEOPLE."

IN REALITY, SHE HAS TO

UNDERSTAND YOU CAN'T PUT THEM ON

THE SAME SCALE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU GOTTA

MAKE A CHOICE.

♪

>> HI!

>> HELLO.

HOW WE DOING?

>> GOOD.

TRYING TO STAY DRY.

>> DOING MY BEST.

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.

>> YOU LOOK SO CUTE.

>> TODAY IS HUGE.

I'M REALLY EXCITED TO MEET

CHARITY'S FAMILY.

I KNOW THIS IS THE MOST

IMPORTANT DAY TO CHARITY.

HER FAMILY'S OPINION

MEANS THE WORLD TO HER.

>> ARE YOU EXCITED?

>> OF COURSE I'M EXCITED.

>> ARE YOU NERVOUS A LITTLE?

>> A LITTLE BIT.

>> YEAH.

>> I WAS FEELING GOOD ALL DAY

AND THEN I THINK AS IT GETS

CLOSER, YOU GET NERVES.

>> IT DOES, YEAH.

YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.

>> YEAH.

>> IT'LL BE GOOD.

>> YEAH.

>> GIVE ME A HUG.

>> TO BE HONEST, COMING INTO

THIS, I THINK SHE'S THINKING

ABOUT CHOOSING ME AS THE PERSON

SHE WANTS TO BE WITH.

I JUST HAVE THOSE FEELINGS FROM

THE CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE AND I

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THAT.

>> HELLO!

>> HI!

>> EVERYONE, THIS IS JOEY.

>> SO GOING INTO THIS TIME WITH

HER FAMILY, I'M VIEWING IT AS

THE ONLY THING I CAN DO IS KIND

OF, MESS IT UP?

>> I THINK YOU GUYS CAN JUST

SEE, OBVIOUSLY IT'S WRITTEN ALL

OVER MY FACE WHEN HE'S HERE,

HOW I FEEL.

BUT JOEY HAS THIS UNIQUE ABILITY

TO JUST TRULY MAKE ME FEEL

SO SEEN, SO VALIDATED.

AND TRULY HAS SWEPT ME OFF MY

FEET SINCE DAY ONE.

I SAID, JOEY GOT OUT THE LIMO.

LOOK AT HIS EYES, OKAY?

I CAN'T HELP IT.

[LAUGHTER]

>> I TELL HER EVERY TIME, I

PROBABLY HAVEN'T EVEN STRESSED

IT ENOUGH, YOU ARE THE REASON

WHY THIS HAS BEEN COMFORTABLE.

I KNOW YOU LOVE TO GIVE ME

CREDIT, BUT I DO BELIEVE A LOT

OF IT COMES FROM HER AND JUST

HOW SHE IS, HOW SHE CARRIES

HERSELF, WHICH I KNOW YOU GUYS

KNOW.

SO I DON'T NEED TO REITERATE

THAT.

BUT IT'S THE TRUTH OF IT.

IT REALLY IS.

>> I SAW A CONNECTION IN CHARITY

AND JOEY WHEN THEY SAT DOWN.

I SAW HIM MAKING EYE CONTACT

WITH HER.

JUST LOOKING AT HER IN A WAY

WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT WAS GOOD TO

LOOK AT.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF HE FITS IN

WITH OUR FAMILY.

SO I'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT

AND SEE HOW THAT PLAY OUT.

>> I'M GLAD I COULD GET THIS

OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO YOU

A LITTLE BIT TODAY AND FIND OUT

MORE WHO JOEY IS.

>> YEAH.

I'M AN OPEN BOOK.

THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT

I'M IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER AND

THAT I'LL BE ABLE TO PROTECT

HER AND LOVE HER AND MAKE HER

FEEL SPECIAL EVERY DAY.

BECAUSE SHE DESERVES THAT.

AND I KNOW THAT SHE DOES.

>> WHAT ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU

FEEL YOU AND CHARITY HAVE IN

COMMON?

>> ONE THING THAT WE REALLY

CONNECTED ON THAT WE HAVE IN

COMMON IS DEFINITELY FAMILY.

GETTING MARRIED TO SOMEONE, I

WOULD WANT TO BE A PART OF THEIR

FAMILY AS MUCH AS I WOULD WANT

THEM TO BE A PART OF MINE.

>> OKAY, GOOD.

DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

FOR ME?

>> YEAH.

I MEAN, I'M CURIOUS, WHAT ARE

YOUR THOUGHTS AT LEAST IN

GENERAL ABOUT HER BEING IN AN

INTERRACIAL RELATIONSHIP?

>> I LOVE IT.

IT'S NOT A POINT OF RACE.

FOR US, IT'S ABOUT LOVE.

>> YES.

>> IT'S ABOUT HER HEART

AND ABOUT HER BEING PROTECTED.

SO IF YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON --

[LAUGHS]

WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT.

>> AND I FEEL IT.

SO IT WASN'T A DOUBT, IT'S JUST

IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE

I'LL NEVER GET WHAT IT'S LIKE TO

BE IN HER SHOES AT ALL.

YOU NEVER CAN BE THE PERSON

SAYING YOU DON'T SEE COLOR,

YOU DON'T SEE RACE, BECAUSE

THAT'S IGNORANT.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE

HERE THAT IS IMPORTANT TO HER

FEELS GOOD ABOUT IT TOO.

SO IT'S GREAT TO HEAR YOU

SAY THAT.

>> AND I'M GLAD

YOU BROUGHT IT UP.

>> YEAH, NO, IT'S NOT AN EASY

CONVO TO BRING UP.

>> I'M EXCITED FOR YOU TO

POTENTIALLY BE MY BROTHER-IN-LAW

ONE DAY.

>> I LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT.

>> JOEY WAS GENUINE IN HIS

RESPONSES.

AND I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN HIS

LOVE FOR CHARITY.

HE LOVES HIS FAMILY AND COULD

FIT INTO OUR FAMILY AS WELL.

SO I FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT IT.

>> SO...

>> CHARITY.

>> [LAUGHS]

I KNOW.

GO AHEAD, ASK THE QUESTIONS.

>> HAVE YOU FALLEN IN LOVE?

>> YES.

>> YES.

>> YES.

HOW I FEEL ABOUT JOEY HAS SO FAR

SURPASSED JUST FALLING IN LOVE.

>> DO YOU FEEL YOU COULD BE YOUR

GOOFY SELF AROUND JOEY?

>> OH, I'VE ALREADY CUT UP

SEVERAL TIMES, I FEAR.

>> SEVERAL TIMES?

>> [LAUGHS]

SEVERAL TIMES.

I DON'T WANT IT TO STOP.

>> DON'T WANT IT TO STOP.

>> DON'T WANT IT TO STOP.

>> ALL RIGHT.

[LAUGHTER]

>> I DON'T.

SO, YEAH.

I DO WANT TO ASK, WHAT WOULD YOU

SAY IS YOUR FEAR FOR ME?

SEEING ME AT THIS POINT

AND KNOWING WE ARE DAYS OUT?

LIKE...

>> I JUST WANT YOU TO MAKE THE

CHOICE OF YOUR HEART.

THAT'S TRUE TO YOU.

>> YEAH.

THIS WHOLE TIME, AS I WAS

NARROWING IT DOWN, AM I MAKING

THE RIGHT CHOICE, AM I MAKING

THE RIGHT CHOICE?

AND I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE I'M AT

A PLACE WHERE I HAVE THE TWO

BEST PEOPLE.

BUT --

>> THERE'S STILL ANOTHER CHOICE

TO MAKE.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

IT'S "THE" CHOICE.

I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO BE

EASY.

HOW AM I GOING TO GET THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

♪

>> SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT WHAT'S

HAPPENING TODAY.

FINALLY GET TO MEET YOU.

>> I KNOW, YEAH.

I WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING

MY FEELINGS FOR CHARITY ARE,

LIKE, VERY REAL.

AND I'VE OBVIOUSLY TOLD HER NOW

THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH HER.

AND THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED TO

KNOW MORE AS A MOM, BECAUSE I

KNOW FROM YOUR SIDE, HOW SCARY

THIS CAN BE -- TO BE PUTTING

YOUR DAUGHTER'S HEART OUT THERE

AND TO HEAR THAT SHE'S IN LOVE

WITH SOMEONE, I DON'T TAKE THAT

LIGHTLY.

>> ONE QUESTION I HAVE, THOUGH,

WITH YOU, AS FAR AS CHARITY IS

CONCERNED -- HAS SHE REALLY

FULLY, FULLY OPENED UP HERSELF

TO YOU IN THAT WAY?

>> YEAH.

SHE HASN'T BEEN CLOSED OFF

AT ALL.

>> OKAY.

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN CHARITY THAT

IS OF A QUALITY FOR YOU?

>> YEAH.

SHE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I CAN

BE THE BEST VERSION OF MYSELF.

BUT NOT ONLY MAKES ME FEEL LIKE

IT, MAKES ME WANT TO BE.

>> GOOD STUFF.

I LOVE TO HEAR THAT.

I MEAN, SHE'S THAT KIND OF

PERSON.

>> OH, IT'S OBVIOUS.

>> SHE REALLY IS.

HAVE YOU AND CHARITY ACTUALLY

TALKED ABOUT YOUR VALUES BEING

ON THE SAME PAGE?

>> YEAH, VALUESWISE FOR ME AND

CHARITY, IT WAS THAT FIRST DATE

WE HAD IN L. A. WHERE WE REALLY

GOT TO TALK ABOUT, JUST, WHAT'S

MOST IMPORTANT TO US.

IT WAS "FAMILY FIRST."

IT WAS JUST EXACTLY RIGHT AWAY.

MY FAMILY MEANS THE WORLD TO ME.

THEY'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT

PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.

AND I'M HOPING I CAN BE A PART

OF YOUR GUYS' FAMILY.

YOU GUYS HAVE SO MUCH WARMTH

ABOUT YOU THAT I HAD ZERO DOUBT

THAT I COULD FEEL LIKE I'D BE

A PART OF IT.

I WAS JUST HOPEFUL THAT YOU GUYS

COULD SEE ME BE A PART OF IT

TOO.

>> UPON YOUR ARRIVAL TODAY, I

JUST SEE YOU AS A VERY GENUINE

PERSON.

SO, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT.

YOU FELT COMFORTABLE WITH US,

SO THAT MAKES ME A LITTLE BIT AT

EASE AS WELL.

>> YEAH, YOU GUYS MAKE IT EASY.

>> WELL, I HOPE SO.

>> THAT MEANS A LOT TO ME.

SO I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU

GUYS.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND WE APPRECIATE YOU, TOO, FOR

BEING THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE.

>> I'M GOING TO GET A HUG NOW.

>> [LAUGHS]

YOU ARE.

>> THANK YOU.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> JOEY MADE IT EASY FOR ME.

I DID SEE THE QUALITIES OF,

HONESTLY, GENUINE TRANSPARENCY

IN HIM.

THE WHOLE FAMILY CONNECTED WITH

JOEY.

>> YEAH, I WAS BACK THERE

LISTENING TO THE NFL DRAFT.

>> WHO'S YOUR TEAM?

>> ACTUALLY, THE ATLANTA FALCONS

TEAM.

>> YEAH, THEY'VE GOT SOME

GROWING TO DO RIGHT NOW.

HOPEFULLY THEY ARE GETTING SOME

PIECES THERE FOR YOU.

>> [LAUGHS]

YEAH, YEAH.

>> JOEY FITS IN WITH OUR FAMILY

JUST FINE, OKAY?

[LAUGHS]

>> NICE MEETING YOU.

>> SEE YOU GUYS SOON.

>> OKAY!

>> BYE.

>> YEAH.

I THINK JOEY COULD BE THE ONE.

YEAH.

>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

>> GOOD.

>> REALLY?

>> NO, TRUTHFULLY.

LIKE, TODAY WAS ALL GREAT.

THEY ARE ALL AMAZING.

>> WELL, I'M SO HAPPY AND THAT

WARMS MY HEART.

I THINK EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE

HAS JUST GIVEN ME CONFIRMATION

IN WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU.

I'M IN THE BEST PLACE.

AND, YEAH.

>> GOOD.

I'M IN A GREAT PLACE TOO.

THERE'S NO REASON NOT TO BE.

>> EVERYTHING WENT GREAT

WITH MY FAMILY.

>> THANK YOU.

I'M SO HAPPY.

>> JOEY ALSO LEFT TODAY FEELING

GREAT.

I MEAN, I'M ON CLOUD NINE.

BECAUSE I DID WALK IN AND I WAS

NERVOUS.

>> OKAY, LOVE YOU.

>> LOVE YOU, TOO.

>> I THINK MY MOM WILL SEE AFTER

TODAY, MEETING JOEY, AND HAVING

THE OPPORTUNITY TOMORROW TO MEET

DOTUN AS WELL, WHY MY FEELINGS

ARE SEPARATED IN TWO DIFFERENT

PLACES.

AND IT'S HARD.

IT'S A BIG DECISION.

I HOPE MY FAMILY WILL HELP ME

MAKE SENSE OF WHAT I'M FEELING,

BECAUSE I CANNOT TAKE ANYMORE.

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE DRAMATIC

AND SOON-TO-BE HISTORIC FINALE

OF "THE BACHELORETTE."

NOW OF COURSE CHARITY IS DOWN TO

TWO GREAT MEN.

BOTH HOPE TO BECOME HER FIANCE.

BUT OF COURSE,

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.

AND THEN LATER TONIGHT,

YOU'RE ALSO GONNA MEET

THE NEW BACHELOR.

AND ONE WOMAN HERE IN THE STUDIO

AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE DATING

HIM.

DID I MENTION SHE HAS NO IDEA?

SO I WONDER WHO COULD IT BE?

MAYBE IT'S THIS WOMAN

STANDING BESIDE ME.

MY NAME IS JESSE.

SO MISTING --

SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

>> HI, GUYS.

MY NAME IS LEA.

I AM 23 YEARS OLD AND I

CURRENTLY LIVE IN LOS ANGELES,

CALIFORNIA.

I AM ORIGINALLY FROM OAHU,

HAWAII, AND I AM SUPER PROUD TO

BE FROM THERE.

I THINK IT'S A HUGE PART OF WHO

I AM.

YEAH.

AS MUCH AS I'M SUPER PROUD TO BE

FROM THERE, IN TERMS OF DATING,

NOT THE BEST PLACE TO DATE.

IT'S LIKE A LITTLE ROCK.

SO THE POOL IS NOT THAT BIG.

SO I CAME TO LOS ANGELES LIKE

OKAY, IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER.

IT'S GOING TO GET BETTER.

IT DIDN'T GET BETTER.

>> LISTEN, THERE'S A CHANCE

HOWEVER OUR NEXT BACHELOR'S, YOU

MIGHT BE DATING HIM VERY, VERY

SOON SO WE ARE GOING TO FIND

THAT OUT.

I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.

SO NICE MEETING YOU TONIGHT.

I'LL HOLD THAT.

WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO FIJI

WHERE JOEY HAS ALREADY IMPRESSED

CHARITIES FAMILY.

HOW WILL THEY FEEL ABOUT DOTUN?

LET'S FIND OUT.

♪

>> YESTERDAY, MY FAMILY HAD THE

OPPORTUNITY TO MEET JOEY.

AND IT WENT WAY BETTER THAN I

EXPECTED.

AND SO, TODAY, MY FAMILY WILL BE

MEETING DOTUN.

AND I AM HOPING ALSO THAT IT

GOES GREAT.

THAT'S ALL I WANT.

>> HELLO.

>> HEY!

>> SO, TODAY, IS A VERY, VERY

SIGNIFICANT DAY.

BECAUSE I AM IN LOVE

WITH TWO PEOPLE.

AND, HOPEFULLY, AFTER SEEING

JOEY ALREADY AND THEN SEEING

DOTUN, MY FAMILY WILL BE ABLE TO

GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT MORE

CLARITY ON WHERE I STAND AND

ENCOURAGEMENT OF HOW TO MOVE

FORWARD.

BECAUSE MY FEAR IS THAT I CAN'T

MAKE A DECISION OR I WON'T BE

ABLE TO AT ALL.

AND THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT FOR

THE END OF THIS.

>> DOTUN IS TODAY.

AND I KNOW AS MUCH AS YESTERDAY

WAS GREAT, I KNOW YOU GUYS WILL

DO GREAT WITH IT.

BUT JUST HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND

HEART BECAUSE I THINK THAT YOUR

OPINION AND PERSPECTIVE WILL BE

HELPFUL FOR ME.

SO I NEED YOU GUYS TO GO INTO IT

WITH A CLEAR HEADSPACE AND CLEAN

SLATE, EVEN PLAYING FIELD.

>> YESTERDAY AFTER MEETING JOEY,

I CAN SEE HIM AS MY

BROTHER-IN-LAW.

SO I'M EXCITED TO MEET DOTUN.

I WANT TO SEE THIS SECOND PERSON

THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH.

[LAUGHTER]

>> I FEEL LIKE WHEN I SAY THAT,

YOU GUYS ARE STILL LIKE,

"WHAT IN THE WORLD?"

OKAY, I'LL BE BACK.

>> COMING IN TODAY, HAVING TO

MEET DOTUN...

>> HELLO, HELLO.

>> HELLO.

YOU LOOK SO CUTE.

>> I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO IT

WITH COMPARISONS, BUT AT THE

SAME TIME, I HAD SUCH A STRONG

CONNECTION WITH JOEY.

AND THAT'S MY TRUE FEELING AT

THIS POINT.

BUT IT COULD BE CHANGED.

I'M NOT SURE.

BUT, YEAH.

>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

>> DEFINITELY A LITTLE BIT

ANXIOUS.

YOU JUST NEVER KNOW.

>> THAT'S OKAY.

THAT'S OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

>> LET'S GO.

>> I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT MEETING

CHARITY'S FOLKS GOES AS WELL AS

HER MEETING MY FOLKS.

IT WAS HONESTLY JUST BEYOND WHAT

I EXPECTED.

SO HOPING TO GIVE HER FOLKS THE

SAME TYPE OF COMFORT.

>> HELLO!

>> HI!

>> I'M BACK.

GOT TO DO THE CLEARANCE DUCK.

ISN'T HE SO TALL?

[LAUGHTER]

>> IT'S CRITICAL TO MAKE A GOOD

IMPRESSION TODAY.

MOMENTS LIKE THIS CAN MAKE OR

BREAK A RELATIONSHIP.

AND SO I'M JUST CONSTANTLY

THINKING OVER HOW I WANT TO SHOW

CHARITY'S PARENTS AND HER

FAMILY THAT I REALLY DO LOVE

HER.

>> WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, WE'RE

HERE.

>> YES.

>> THIS IS DOTUN.

AND I'M SO EXCITED, OBVIOUSLY,

SO GRATEFUL TO BE HERE.

YOU GUYS MEAN SO MUCH.

I'VE TALKED ABOUT YOU ALL

NONSTOP THROUGHOUT THIS JOURNEY.

ESPECIALLY MOM, JUST HOW YOU'VE

BEEN MY ANCHOR FOR A LOT OF

THINGS.

SO, IT'S BEEN GREAT.

SO, YEAH.

[LAUGHS]

>> IT REALLY HAS BEEN

A HECK OF A JOURNEY.

IT'S VERY UNLIKELY TO BE IN

SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

I THINK I'M VERY AVERSE TO THIS

WHOLE EXPERIENCE, IN A BIG WAY.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> BUT SOMETHING JUST TOLD ME,

"LET ME JUST TAKE THE STEPS

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS."

IT WAS A BIG SACRIFICE FOR ME

TO COME HERE.

THERE WERE A LOT OF THINGS I HAD

TO LEAVE ON THE TABLE, WORKWISE,

CAREERWISE, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT THINGS KEEP TELLING ME TO GO

FOR IT AND DO THIS THING.

IT'S REALLY JUST BEEN AN AMAZING

EXPERIENCE FROM START TO FINISH.

THE FOUNDATION THAT WE'VE BUILT

IS SO STRONG.

AND IT'S SO RELIABLE.

DEFINITELY, I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE

THIS EVER IN MY LIFE WITH

ANYBODY.

AND, SO, 100%.

>> YEAH.

HOW ARE YOU GUYS FEELING?

>> WE ARE DOING GREAT.

[LAUGHTER]

>> OH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

OH, MAN.

>> DOTUN, CAN WE GO HAVE A CHAT,

PLEASE?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> THANKS.

>> YESTERDAY, OF COURSE, I FELT

GOOD ABOUT THE CONVERSATIONS AND

WHERE WE WERE WITH JOEY.

I THINK HE JUST FITS IN WITH OUR

FAMILY VERY WELL.

BUT...

I WILL LOOK AT DOTUN AND HEAR

HIS CONVERSATION AND SEE HOW

WELL HE PROJECTS HIS THOUGHTS

AND FEELINGS.

>> WHEN DID YOU REALLY FEEL THAT

CONNECTION WITH CHARITY?

>> YEAH, THE CONNECTION HAS COME

IN STAGES, RIGHT?

SHE JUST CHECKS ALL THE BOXES OF

WHAT I IMAGINED MY PARTNER TO BE

LIKE.

I TOLD HER THIS WEEK THAT I'M

TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH HER.

BUT I HAD KNOWN IT FOR THE PAST

FEW WEEKS.

AND, YEAH, JUST TOTALLY SMITTEN

OVER HER.

SO, THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY THE

CONNECTIONS HAVE GONE.

>> GOT YOU.

>> AND I KNOW THAT ALSO,

I, AGAIN, I'M A RUTHLESSLY

INTROSPECTIVE PERSON.

AND I CHECK IN WITH MYSELF EVERY

DAY.

I'M LIKE, "OKAY, HOW ARE THINGS

GOING?"

AND I LOOK FOR THE HOLES MYSELF.

AND I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY.

AND SO THAT IS WHY I HAVE SO

MUCH TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN MY

RELATIONSHIP WITH CHARITY.

CHARITY HAS BEEN SO CAPABLE

AND COMPETENT.

RIGHT?

>> MM-HM.

>> SOMEONE THAT I THINK I CAN

LEARN FROM.

AND THAT HAS BEEN MISSING IN MY

PAST RELATIONSHIPS AND FOR HER

AS WELL.

SHE'S JUST REKINDLED AGAIN THE

PASSION FOR ME TO, LIKE, OKAY,

FAMILY, KIDS, ALL THOSE THINGS

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED BUT I KIND OF

PUT ON THE BACKBURNER FOR WORK.

AND NOW I'M LIKE, NO, I WANT

THOSE THINGS

WITH A SPECIAL PERSON.

AND I THINK I FOUND HER.

>> OKAY.

>> DOTUN, HIMSELF, HE SEEMS TO

BE A VERY GENUINE, VERY HONEST

PERSON.

AND I FEEL THAT DOTUN CHECKS THE

BOXES.

BUT FOR ME, HIS MANNERISM, HIS

SWAG KIND OF THING?

I WOULD SAY THAT HE'S FAMILIAR.

AND CHARITY HAS A TYPE OF MAN

THAT SHE VERY WELL TEND TO

GRAVITATE TO.

AND DOTUN IS THAT TYPE OF

PERSON.

SO, ANY TIME SOMETHING IS VERY

FAMILIAR, THAT'S EASY.

>> OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE A REALLY

BIG DECISION TO MAKE.

>> YOU DO.

>> DO YOU FEEL LIKE WHEN I

WALKED IN TODAY WITH DOTUN,

DO YOU SEE ME BEING HAPPY?

OR WAS IT -- BECAUSE I KNOW THE

THINGS YOU LOOK FOR AS MY MOM.

I KNOW YOU'RE LIKE, "ALL RIGHT,

SHE HAS THE PEP IN HER STEP."

>> IT WAS A SIMILAR PEP BUT IT

WASN'T AS FULL-FLEDGED AS I SAW

THE OTHER DAY.

IF YOU'RE ASKING ME THAT

QUESTION, IT WAS DIFFERENT

TO A POINT.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

THAT'S MY TRUTH.

MM-HM.

♪

>> THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT

NECESSARILY SITS WELL WITH ME.

BECAUSE THAT'S AN INITIAL

IMPRESSION THAT SHE GETS FROM

DOTUN.

BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PERSON I

LOVE AND CHERISH SO MUCH.

MY MIND IS REALLY GOING A

MILLION PLACES.

>> GO WITH YOUR HEART, GO WITH

YOUR GUT.

>> I KNOW.

MY GUT DOESN'T EXIST RIGHT NOW.

>> IT DOES.

MM-HM, IT DOES.

YOU PROBABLY WANT TO DENY THAT

FACT.

BUT IT DOES.

IT DOES.

DON'T DENY THE FACT WITHIN

YOURSELF.

>> I'M STILL NOW SITTING HERE

WITH TWO GREAT GUYS THAT I'VE

GOTTEN TO KNOW AT THEIR ABSOLUTE

CORE.

AND STUCK.

>> ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE

FOR CHARITY, IF SHE DECIDES TO

CHOOSE YOU?

>> YEAH.

I LOOK AT HER AS A

ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME KIND OF

PERSON.

I REALLY DO.

AND SO NOT GETTING TO THE END OF

THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO ME

IN THAT REGARD.

I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL EVER FIND

A TYPE OF LOVE LIKE THIS.

AND SO THAT MAKES ANY SACRIFICE

WORTH IT.

>> IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING.

AND MY SISTER'S EXTREMELY

OBSERVANT.

SO IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING

TO SEE, LIKE, WHAT SHE GATHERED

FROM TALKING TO DOTUN

AND THE INITIAL IMPRESSION OF

HIM.

>> HELLO.

>> HI, CHARITY.

>> TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.

[LAUGHS]

>> SO, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE

A CERTAIN CHEMISTRY.

YOU WERE HAVING MORE PDA

WITH HIM.

>> OKAY.

DOTUN.

REAL HARD.

BAD.

I'M NOT SAYING IT'S A BAD THING.

I'M JUST SAYING WHAT I SEE.

I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT.

I WASN'T.

CONVERSATION OF HOW I FEEL NOW

OR WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.

BUT JUST KNOW, YOU KNOW THAT

ALREADY, HOW APPRECIATIVE I AM

OF EVERYTHING.

BUT I ALSO WANTED TO SEE HOW

YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

I CARE MOST ABOUT.

>> THANK YOU.

[APPLAUSE]

YEAH, OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS MY

FIRST TIME WATCHING IT BACK TOO.

A LOCKED OF EMOTIONS KIND OF

CAME UP WITH THAT.

IT PUT ME RIGHT BACK IN THAT

MOMENT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO

HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE AND TO MAKE

SENSE OF HONESTLY WHAT I WAS

FEELING THAT MOMENT, WHICH IF

I'M BEING HONEST AND AS YOU CAN

SAY I WAS EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL,

NOT AN EASY DECISION BY ANY

MEANS.

AND HOW I GOT THERE WAS NOT EASY

AT ALL.

I WAS CONSTANTLY GOING BACK AND

FORTH LEADING UP TO THOSE HOURS

OF THOSE EXACT SECONDS AND

MINUTES.

BUT YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, WITH

WHAT I SAID IN THAT MOMENT,

HIGHWAYS WILL HAVE SO MUCH

RESPECT AND LOVE FOR YOU AND I

CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR JUSTD

HELPING ME GROW AS AN

INDIVIDUAL, AS A WOMAN ON THIS

JOURNEY AND FOR YOU BEING A

PART, A CRUCIAL PART OF THE

STORY FOR ME.

I THANK YOU SO MUCH, JOEY.

I REALLY DO.

[APPLAUSE]

IT'S HARD.

I AM SHAKING.

I'M A LITTLE ANXIOUS.

I'M NERVOUS.

IT'S HARD.

THAT'S JUST WHAT IT IS.

THE LOVE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE IN

TEN MY HEART AND I HAVE THAT

STILL AT THIS POINT FOR YOU.

>> YEAH.

WE BOTH SAID IT AT THE END OF

THAT DAY, EVEN THOUGH WE

WOULDN'T BE IN LOVE WITH EACH

OTHER WE WOULD ALWAYS HAVE LOVE

FOR ONE ANOTHER.

THAT'S STILL HOW I FEEL.

[APPLAUSE]

IT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T EVEN

EXPLAIN TO SOMEONE ELSE.

>> IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

>> IT DOESN'T.

SOMEONE DOESN'T GET HOW YOU GET

TO THAT POINT.

THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU

CAN FEEL WHAT YOU'RE FEELING.

BUT FOR ME, I JUST WANT YOU TO

KNOW THAT A REASONABLE TIME

THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE, AS MUCH

AS YOU'RE GRATEFUL TO ME SAYING

WHAT YOU DID, YOU BROUGHT THAT

OUT ME.

YOU WERE THE REASON WHY THIS WAS

YOUR STORY.

AS I SAID AS I SAID THAT DAY.

I FELT LUCKY TO BE PART OF IT SO

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

AND YOU KNOW I WISH YOU AND

WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT, NOTHING

BUT THE BEST AND YOU KNOW THAT.

>> IT'S AMAZING.

YOU BOTH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SO

GREAT COMMUNICATING WITH ONE

ANOTHER RATHER WANT TO THANK YOU

BOTH SO MUCH FOR YOUR GRACE AND

HONESTY REHASHING THIS.

I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY.

JOEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING HERE.

WE WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK

MOVING FORWARD.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR JOEY,

EVERYBODY.

ALL RIGHT, ONE WE COME BACK,

COULD IT BE THE FAIRY TALE THAT

WE'VE ALL BEEN HOPING FOR?

WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT.

REMEMBER THAT I SAID SOMETHING

HISTORIC IS GOING TO HAPPEN

TONIGHT THAT WE'VE NEVER DONE

BEFORE?

WELL, IT WON'T JUST BE THAT

SOMEONE IN OUR STUDIO

AUDIENCE WILL BE CHOSEN

TO DATE THE BACHELOR.

IT'S ACTUALLY EVEN MORE THAN

THAT.

IT'S A LOT MORE.

AND TRUST ME, ALL OF BACHELOR

NATION IS GONNA BE SHOOK.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

DON'T GO ANYWHERE.

[APPLAUSE]

>> WELCOME BACK TO THE DRAMATIC

FINALE OF "THE BACHELORETTE"!

OF COURSE WE'RE HERE LIVE

IN LOS ANGELES.

CHARITY IS DOWN TO ONE MAN:

DOTUN.

SO, DO WE BELIEVE IN FAIRY TALES

HERE IN BACHELOR NATION?

LET'S FIND OUT.

ABOUT TO BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON.

IT'S JUST CRAZY.

OUR LOVE, THIS WHOLE JOURNEY,

IT HAS JUST CONTINUOUSLY GROWN

AND BUILT AND STRENGTHENED

TIMES A MILLION.

WITH DOTUN, IT BOILS DOWN TO

JUST A FEELING THAT YOU CAN'T

REALLY PLACE.

YOU CAN'T REALLY PINPOINT.

BUT YOU JUST HAVE IT

AND YOU KNOW IT'S THERE.

AND WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER,

IT COMES ALIVE.

I LOVE DOTUN.

I SEE SO CLEARLY A FUTURE

WITH HIM.

A FUTURE THAT'S GOING TO BRING

ME THE MOST HAPPINESS.

>> THIS JOURNEY WITH CHARITY HAS

BEEN UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER

EXPERIENCED.

THE KID ON MY IMMIGRATION CARD

WOULD NOT BELIEVE WHERE I STAND

TODAY.

HE JUST WANTED TO BE LOVED,

YOU KNOW?

AND GIVE LOVE.

AND SO FOR ME TO BE IN THE

POSITION TO DO THAT,

HE WOULD BE SO HAPPY.

I'VE SPENT SO MUCH OF MY LIFE

FEELING MISUNDERSTOOD.

BUT CHARITY UNDERSTANDS ME IN A

WAY THAT I JUST HAVE NEVER FELT.

SO, YEAH.

THEY ARE NOT TEARS OF SADNESS,

PER SE.

YOU KNOW.

IT'S TEARS OF HAPPINESS AND SAD.

IT'S JUST ALL IN.

YEAH.

>> HEY.

>> HI, CHARITY.

>> HELLO.

>> HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> I'M GOOD.

HOW ARE YOU?

>> BUT YOU LOOK AMAZING.

>> YOU DO TOO.

GIVE ME A HUG?

>> PLEASE.

>> DEEP BREATHS.

>> [EXHALES]

YEAH.

>> OKAY.

>> CHARITY.

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT WE'VE

EXPERIENCED, FROM OUR VERY FIRST

KISS AT THE MANSION, WHERE I WAS

JUST LIKE, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT

I'M DOING BUT I'M GOING FOR IT."

ALL THE WAY TO CONQUERING OUR

FEARS 200 FEET IN THE AIR.

RUNNING THROUGH NEW ORLEANS.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

FALLING IN LOVE.

YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ME

FEEL SO INCREDIBLY SPECIAL.

YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL ADORED

AND VALIDATED AND WANTED.

AND TO RECEIVE THAT FROM A WOMAN

OF YOUR CALIBER, CHARITY,

I DON'T THINK YOU'LL EVER

UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS

TO ME.

BUT I'M CERTAIN THAT I WANT TO

SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE

SHOWING YOU.

100%.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

THAT I'M FULLY COMMITTED TO YOU.

AS YOU STAND HERE IN FRONT OF

ME, AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE

A THING ABOUT YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THAT.

UM...

[EXHALES]

OKAY.

I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT BEING HERE

AND BEING ALONG THIS JOURNEY HAS

TAUGHT ME THAT ONE CONVERSATION

CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING.

WHEN I THINK OF THAT MOMENT AND

WHEN I THINK OF YOU, IT TAKES ME

BACK TO OCEANSIDE, WHEN WE

SHARED THAT INCREDIBLY SPECIAL

MOMENT, THAT CHANGED MY LIFE,

TRULY, FOREVER.

OH, GOD, OKAY.

WHEN I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES IN

THAT MOMENT...

I'M SORRY.

I SAW A MAN THAT RESPECTED ME,

THAT VALUED ME, THAT ADORED ME,

BUT A MAN THAT I COULD LOVE

FOREVER.

YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL ALIVE.

YOU'VE MADE ME BELIEVE IN LOVE

AGAIN.

YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL SO VALUED

MOST RECENTLY I BECAME A

CERTIFIED LIFE COACH.

AND SO I WOULD LOVE TO BE ON THE

BACHELOR BECAUSE ANYONE WHO

KNOWS ME KNOWS I'M A HOPELESS

ROMANTIC.

AND I'M READY TO MEET MY PERSON.

HONESTLY, I JUST THINK THAT IN

NEW YORK, EVERYONE IS SO BUSY.

IT'S REALLY HARD TO FIND TIME.

VERY HELTER-SKELTER.

HE CAN REALLY TAKE THAT TIME.

>> WHO DO YOU WANT THE BACHELOR

BACHELOR NATION.

WELL, IT'S THAT TIME,

TIME TO CELEBRATE

OUR NEWEST HAPPY COUPLE.

WE WATCHED THEM DATE, FALL MADLY

IN LOVE AND FINALLY GET ENGAGED.

PLEASE WELCOME FOR THE FIRST

TIME IN PUBLIC,

CHARITY AND DOTUN.

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN.

HOW ARE YOU?

HAVE A SEAT.

OH.

>> WE LOVE YOU!

>> WE ARE HEARING ALL THE LOVE

FROM BOTH OF YOUR FAMILIES.

YOU BOTH ARE ABSOLUTELY GLOWING.

WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER FOR THE

TWO OF YOU.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINALLY BE

OUT IN PUBLIC?

YOU DON'T GOT TO KEEP THIS A

SECRET ANYMORE.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> WE ARE FEELING OVER THE MOON.

WE HAVE ANTICIPATED THIS MOMENT

OBVIOUSLY SINCE PROPOSAL UP

UNTIL THIS MOMENT.

WE WANTED EVERYONE TO SEE OUR

LOVE AND YOU GUYS HAVE.

BUT NOW JUST TO BE FREE AND BE

IN PUBLIC AND LIVE LIVES

NORMALLY.

THIS IS EVERYTHING.

>> I REMEMBER TALKING TO YOU

BACKSTAGE AND USE IT TO ME, I

CAN'T WAIT FOR AFR BECAUSE I

WANT TO BE IN PUBLIC WITH THIS

MAN.

BEFORE WE CONTINUE, CAN WE

ABSOLUTELY SEE THIS STUNNING

ENGAGEMENT RING?

WOW.

THAT LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

NEIL LANE DEFINITELY HOOKED YOU

UP.

>> SHOUT OUT TO NEIL LANE.

WHERE IS HE?

>> I REMEMBER TALKING TO YOU

BEFORE YOU MET CHARITY BEFORE

THE PROPOSAL.

THERE WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN

YOU.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU LIKE THAT

BEFORE.

WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR

MIND?

>> MORE THAT I CAN PUT INTO

WORDS.

THIS FEELING OF EITHER KNOWING I

WAS GOING TO GET THE GREATEST

THING IN MY LIFE THAT I REALLY

WANTED OR BEING DEVASTATED AND

HEARTBROKEN.

IT'S A WEIRD MIX OF FEELINGS.

BUT TO KNOW YOUR LIFE IS GOING

TO CHANGE THE MATTER WITH THE

OUTCOME IS.

IT WAS REALLY HEAVY.

I WENT INTO IT REALLY HEAVY,

UNSURE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER

RELATIONSHIPS ARE LIKE.

I DON'T WANT TO EXPECT ANYTHING

AND BEING IN A MORE HEARTBROKEN

SO WENT INTO IT WITH A SERIOUS

GAME FACE.

I REALLY WANTED THIS GIRL AND

LUCKILY IT WORKED OUT.

>> IN ALL HONESTY, HOW CERTAIN

WASN'T THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE

YOU?

>> I WAS SOMEWHAT CERTAIN UP

UNTIL THAT DAY.

[LAUGHTER]

SOMEWHAT CERTAIN UP UNTIL THAT

DAY.

LIKE I SAID, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT

THE RELATIONS WERE LIKE AND HAVE

THE JUXTAPOSITION OF BEING

HEARTBROKEN AND FINDING THE

WOMAN OF MY DREAMS.

IT'S TOUGH.

YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TO

EXCITED.

YES, YOU GOING TO GET AWAY WITH

HER.

I TRIED TO BE LEVELHEADED AND

WENT INTO IT WITH THE

UNDERSTANDING THERE COULD BE TWO

OUTCOMES.

>> GREAT MIND-SET.

WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE BOTH OF

YOUR FAMILIES IN THE AUDIENCE

HERE TONIGHT.

CHARITY, I WANT TO ASK YOUR MAMA

QUESTION.

HOW HAPPY IS YOUR FAMILY TO BE

WELCOMING THIS FINE YOUNG MAN

INTO YOUR FAMILY.

HOW HAPPY ARE YOU THAT SHE HAS

FOUND DOTUN.

>> I'M HAPPY, VERY HAPPY WITH

THEM.

I'VE SEEN THE JOURNEY AND I GOT

TO KNOW DOTUN A LITTLE BIT

BETTER SO YES, I'M VERY HAPPY.

>> DOTUN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS

THING, AS YOU ARE SITTING HERE

NOW IS A BEAUTIFUL ENGAGED

COUPLE, JUST HOW MUCH DO YOU

LOVE THIS WOMAN?

>> AGAIN, THERE'S NO WORDS AND

I'VE TOLD THIS TO HER.

LOVE IS NOT ENOUGH OF A WORD TO

DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL ABOUT HER.

SHE'S EVERYTHING TO ME.

SHE IS ONLY BECOME MORE OF

EVERYTHING SINCE FILMING ENDED.

I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE CERTAIN

ABOUT ANYTHING IN MY LIFE.

I WANT TO KEEP ROCKING AND KEEP

MOVING.

>> IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

YOU ARE SO DESERVING OF ONE

ANOTHER.

WE ARE ALSO HAPPY FOR THE TWO OF

YOU.

I HAVE A FEELING BUT VERY SOON

THE TWO OF YOU ARE ALSO GOING TO

BE A LITTLE BIT HAPPIER AS WELL.

>> OKAY, WHY?

>> I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU.

>> WHAT IS IT?

>> DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT

IT IS?

OKAY, I'LL TELL YOU.

RIGHT AFTER THIS SHORT BREAK.

BUT TRUST ME, IT'S A GREAT

SURPRISE AND WORTH WAITING FOR.

BUT SPEAKING OF GREAT SURPRISES,

HE'S THE MOST TALKED ABOUT MAN

IN AMERICA: OUR GOLDEN BACHELOR,

GERRY!

HIS JOURNEY TO FIND LOVE

BEGINS THIS FALL, BUT HE

WOULDN'T START THIS JOURNEY

WITHOUT THE LOVE AND SUPPORT

OF HIS FAMILY.

TAKE A LOOK.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE

LOOKING FOR?

>> DATING ON THE SHOW IS GOING

TO BE AN ALTOGETHER NEW

EXPERIENCE.

WHAT I HOPE IS THAT I CAN LOOK

AT ONE OF THOSE WOMEN AND KNOW

THAT I HAVE FOUND THE RIGHT

PERSON.

>> I HOPE YOU GET BACK, I REALLY

DO.

YOU HAVE A GREAT PERSONALITY.

OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE

IT.

YOU ARE MY DAD.

YOU ARE THE MOST AWESOME PERSON

ANYWAYS.

>> FOR MODERN DATING, WHAT ARE

THE THINGS YOU DO DATING RIGHT

NOW?

>> IT STARTS WITH TEXTING.

YOU NEED TO UPGRADE.

DON'T START WITH "DEAR...

HER NAME."

YOU FIRST STARTED TEXTING.

HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DAD.

WE KNOW IT'S YOU.

>> WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR MIND

ABOUT ALL OF THESE WOMEN AND HOW

DO YOU NARROW IT DOWN?

>> WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS

I'M LOOKING FOR?

HOW DO YOU LIKE TO SPEND YOUR

SPARE TIME?

DO YOU LIKE ADVENTURE?

DO YOU LIKE TO COOK?

WE WOULD HAVE SUCH A GOOD TIME

IN THE KITCHEN.

IT'S A MESS.

IT'S CHAOS.

I SEEM TO ALWAYS GET CLEANUP

DUTY.

>> GOING THROUGH A ALL OF THIS,

WHAT'S YOUR ULTIMATE HOPE ONCE

IT'S ALL OVER?

>> I WANT TO FIND THAT PERSON

THAT I KNOW IS THE RIGHT ONE.

I KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE ALWAYS

WANTED ME TO BE HAPPY.

AND THAT ONE PERSON IS OUT THERE

SOMEWHERE THAT WILL DO THAT.

>> I HOPE YOU GET THAT.

I REALLY DO.

>> COME ON.

YOU GUYS ARE SO GOOD.

>> LOVE YOU, DAD.

[APPLAUSE]

>> WELCOME BACK,

BACHELOR NATION.

I'M HERE WITH OUR NEWLY ENGAGED

COUPLE, CHARITY AND DOTUN,

AND I JUST COULD NOT BE HAPPIER

FOR THE TWO OF YOU.

SO WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD

FOR YOU BOTH?

>> RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST TOTALLY

ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY

AND WE WANT TO CONTINUE THAT.

OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO DO THE

WHOLE THING, MARRIAGE AND THE

HOUSE AND ALL THAT STUFF BUT

RIGHT NOW WE JUST WANT TO

CONTINUE HAVING FUN IN BUILDING

A RELATIONSHIP.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE GOING FOR.

>> YOU MENTIONED MARRIAGE.

PEOPLE ARE WONDERING, IS IT

SOMETHING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

DOING SOON?

DO YOU PLAN ON WAITING?

>> IT WILL BE SOONER RATHER THAN

LATER.

WE DON'T HAVE A SET DATE OR

ANYTHING.

WE DEFINITELY HAVE PART ABOUT IT

BUT LIKE HE SAID WE'RE JUST

ENJOYING THE SEASON OF LIFE.

>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.

YOU TAKE YOUR TIME AFTER

EVERYTHING YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH.

YOU CALLED HIM YOUR FUTURE BABY

DADDY BACK IN FIJI.

>> I DID.

>> IS THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO

KNOW ABOUT?

>> NO.

>> EVERYBODY IS JUST EXCITED.

PERSONALLY FOR ME, CHARITY, IT

WAS AN ABSOLUTE THRILL TO WATCH

ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT'S

BEEN ON MY MIND.

I WATCHED YOU A FEW MONTHS AGO.

YOU ARE DOING AN INTERVIEW WITH

"GOOD MORNING AMERICA" AND YOU

SAID SOMETHING AND I JUST HAVE

NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THINKING

ABOUT IT.

I HAVE A REMINDER HERE OF WHAT

YOU SAID ON GMA.

HERE IT IS.

>> ON THIS JOURNEY OF THE SHOW,

THERE'S SOME AMAZING TRAVEL

OPPORTUNITIES.

DO YOU GET TO CHOOSE THAT?

HAVE YOU PICKED ON WHERE SOME OF

THE AMAZING DATE OPPORTUNITIES

MIGHT BE?

SOME OF THE EXCITING PLACES IN

THE WORLD?

>> YEAH.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH OF THE

SAME BUT I WILL SAY THAT I HAVE

SOME DESTINATIONS THAT I TOSSED

OUT THERE OF WHERE I WANT TO GO.

GREECE IS ONE OF THEM.

>> GREECE IS ONE OF THEM.

SO WE THOUGHT THE TWO OF YOU

MIGHT USE A LITTLE TIME AWAY

TOGETHER.

>> NO WAY.

>> WE ARE SETTING THE TWO OF YOU

ON A PREHONEYMOON TRIP TO GRACE!

[APPLAUSE]

THAT'S IT.

YOU KNOW I'VE GOT YOU.

CHARITY, HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

HOW DOES THAT SOUND?

STEVE I WANT TO JUMP.

I'M EXCITED.

>> I KNOW THIS IS A PLACE YOU'VE

ALWAYS DREAMED OF GOING.

IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.

YOU HAVE THE SUN AND SAND AND

WATER.

I'M SURE THERE IS SOMETHING YOU

CAN BUNGEE JUMP OFF OF TOGETHER.

IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT.

WE CERTAINLY WISH YOU AN

INCREDIBLE TRIP AND ALSO AN

AMAZING ENGAGEMENT AS WELL.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL.

>> WHAT?

>> THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER SURPRISE

IN STORE FOR YOU.

DOTUN, I THINK THERE MIGHT BE

SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO TELL

YOUR BRAND-NEW FIANCE.

>> SO HE DOES KNOW.

OKAY.

>> I MIGHT KNOW A THING OR TWO.

>> WHAT IS THIS?

>> I KNOW YOU LIKE TO CUT UP, HE

LIKED TO DANCE AND YOU LIKE TO

GET DOWN.

YOU KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT

THIS ABOUT HOW AMAZING THIS

OPPORTUNITY WOULD BE.

I AM SO HAPPY TO BE THEY WANT TO

TELL YOU THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE

ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS"!

>> YEAH!

>> WOW!

>> YES, BABY.

>> THAT'S INCREDIBLE!

CHARITY, YOU'RE GOING TO BE ON

"DANCING WITH THE STARS."

GET THOSE DANCING SHOES READY.

>> I AM LOOKING LIKE THE MIRROR

BALL.

>> YOU'RE GOING TO BE A BUSY

WOMAN.

YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THAT TRIP

TO GREECE.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE BUSY.

YOU'RE GOING TO DO ABSOLUTELY

INCREDIBLE.

THE FUTURE JUST COULD NOT BE

BRIGHTER FOR THE TWO OF YOU.

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR CHARITY

AND DOTUN, EVERYBODY!

IT'S AMAZING.

WHEN WE COME BACK, YOUR NEW

BACHELOR IS HERE.

AND WHICH WOMAN IN THE STUDIO

AUDIENCE IS GOING TO BE DATING

HIM?

WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT TOGETHER!

SO STICK AROUND.

[APPLAUSE]

>> WELCOME BACK TO LOS ANGELES.

WE'RE OF COURSE LIVE WITH OUR

STUDIO AUDIENCE.

WOW, WHAT AN EVENING IT'S BEEN

ALREADY.

GUESS WHAT.

AND IT'S NOT EVEN OVER YET.

ARE YOUR READY TO MEET

THE NEW BACHELOR?

[CHEERING]

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

PLEASE WELCOME YOUR NEW

BACHELOR,

JOEY!

[CHEERING]

HAVE A SEAT.

WELL, I'M GLAD YOU DIDN'T GO TOO

FAR.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD IF YOU

HAD HEADED OUT TO THE AIRPORT.

I AM JUST GOING TO GO OUT ON THE

LIMB HERE AND SAY I THINK

BACHELOR NATION IS PRETTY HAPPY

YOU'RE OUR NEW BACHELOR, AM I

RIGHT?

SO HOW DOES IT FEEL?

>> DEFINITELY SURREAL.

IT IS SINKING IN VERY SLOWLY BUT

I AM TRYING MY BEST JUST TO STAY

PRESENT, ENJOY IT.

BUT IT'S CRAZY.

I'LL BE THE FIRST PERSON TO SAY.

I NEVER EXPECTED THIS AT ALL.

DIDN'T KNOW THIS IS WHAT MY LIFE

WAS TURNING INTO.

CRAZY STUFF.

>> WE ARE REALLY GOOD ON THE

SHOW OF KEEPING YOU ON YOUR

TOES.

I KNOW IT'S BEEN AN EMOTIONAL

ROLLER COASTER FOR YOU.

THINKING BACK TO FIJI, I KNOW

THAT HEARTBREAK WAS REALLY REAL

FOR YOU, RIGHT?

HOW READY DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU

ARE TO TURN THE PAGE AND GIVE

LOVE ANOTHER SHOT?

>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

MORE READY THAN I WAS IN THAT

MOMENT.

FOR ME, IT WAS JUST YOU HAVE TO

TAKE SOME TIME TO GET A LITTLE

BIT MORE CLOSURE.

WATCHING DOTUN AND CHARITY'S

CONNECTION WAS ENOUGH FOR ME.

I'VE GOT SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT

DUDE AND OBVIOUSLY FOR HER

COMPLETELY AS WELL.

IT WAS NICE TO BE ABLE TO SEE

SOMEONE SO SPECIAL THE WITH HER.

THAT IN GENERAL GAVE ME A LOT

MORE ABILITY TO SEPARATE MYSELF

FROM IT COME APPRECIATED FOR

WHAT IT WAS.

TRUTHFULLY KNOW THAT MOST FAULT

IT OPENED A PART OF ME THAT

WANTED SOMETHING SO BADLY.

SO I AM PRIORITIZING SOMETHING

IN MY LIFE THAT I PUT ON THE

BACK BURNER FOR A WHILE I'M

READY TO PRIORITIZE IT AGAIN.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS

YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IN A PARTNER?

>> GOOD QUESTION.

WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR ANY

PARTNER?

SOMEONE THAT IS JUST HIMSELF,

THAT I CAN TRUTHFULLY BE A

PARTNER WITH.

SOMEONE THAT CHALLENGES ME.

SOMEONE I CAN CHALLENGE.

SOMEONE WHO DO LIFE WITH.

SOMEONE THAT'S GOING TO BE MY

PERSON AT THE END OF THE DAY

REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE FACE FOR

GOING TO BE MORE THAN HAPPY

TOGETHER.

>> IN A MATTER OF WEEKS WERE

GOING TO BE FLYING OUT SOME OF

THE MOST DOZENS OF BEAUTIFUL AND

INTERESTING WOMEN ALL ACROSS

AMERICA TO MEET YOU AND I KNOW

FOR A FACT MANY OF THEM ARE

WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW.

SO JOEY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY

TO YOUR FUTURE GIRLFRIENDS OUT

THERE?

>> GOOD QUESTION.

JUST BE THEMSELVES.

FOR ME, FOR THIS WHOLE ENTIRE

EXPERIENCE I HAD, IT'S TOUGH.

I'M NOT GOING TO SUGARCOAT IT.

THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT

HAPPENS AND THINGS THAT KIND OF

MESS WITH YOU.

BUT WHAT I'M MOST PROUD OF FROM

THIS JOURNEY FOR ME IS THAT I

HAD THIS WEIRD INKLING OF

COMFORT AND FELT LIKE I COULD BE

MYSELF AND I KNOW CHARITY

BROUGHT A LOT OF THAT OUT IN ME

BUT I'M HOPING TO DO THE SAME

FOR THE PEOPLE THAT COME AND

WANT TO MEET ME.

ALL I CAN ASK IS FOR THEM TO BE

THEMSELVES AND I'M EXCITED TO

GET TO KNOW THEM.

>> JUST TO BE AUTHENTIC.

GREAT ADVICE.

EARLIER TONIGHT I WAS TALKING TO

SOME OF THESE INCREDIBLE WOMEN

IN OUR AUDIENCE AND I WAS ASKING

THEM WHO THEY WANTED TO BE THE

BACHELOR AND YOUR NAME, IT CAME

UP ONCE OR TWICE I'D SAY.

DOES THAT FEEL ABOUT RIGHT?

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

YEAH.

AND YOU KNOW THAT ONE OF THE

WOMEN IN OUR AUDIENCE TONIGHT IS

ACTUALLY GOING TO BE JOINING YOU

ON YOUR JOURNEY TO FIND LOVE.

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

>> SOMEONE GAVE ME SOME INSIGHT

ON THAT.

THAT FEELS EXCITING.

I'M READY TO MEET WHOEVER THAT

PERSON IS.

SPEAK WE'VE GOT LOTS TO FIGURE

OUT.

WHO IS IT GOING TO BE?

WHO'S GOING TO GET THE CHANCE TO

MEET OUR NEXT BACHELOR, JOEY?

I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY

RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME

BACK AFTER THE BREAK AND FIND

OUT AND IF THAT'S NOT EXCITING

ENOUGH WE STILL HAVE ONE MORE

EPIC SURPRISE.

I FEEL LIKE OPRAH TONIGHT.

TRUST ME.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WANT TO MISS

THIS.

STICK AROUND.

♪

>> WELCOME BACK,

BACHELOR NATION.

OF COURSE I'M HERE LIVE WITH

JOEY, OUR NEXT BACHELOR.

JOEY, AS YOU KNOW, ALL NIGHT

I'VE BEEN TALKING TO SOME

OF THE LADIES IN OUR AUDIENCE.

ONE OF THEM IS GOING TO BE

JOINING YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO

FIND LOVE THIS UPCOMING SEASON.

HOW CRAZY IS IT TO NOTE THAT

YOUR FUTURE WIFE MIGHT ACTUALLY

BE IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW?

>> CRAZY.

THAT'S WILD.

>> I'M SURE YOU'RE PROBABLY

WONDERING WHO IT'S GOING TO BE.

I'M SURE THAT LADY IS ALSO

YOUR FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF LEA?

SPEAKS A LOT.

FIRST NIGHT TO BE THERE.

THE FACT THAT YOU CAN BE UP HERE

DOING THIS, JUST TO SAY SWEET

THINGS, I'M EXCITED TO GET TO

KNOW YOU.

>> LEA, I'M CURIOUS.

HOW NERVOUS WERE YOU SITTING IN

THE AUDIENCE NOT KNOWING WHETHER

YOU ARE GOING TO GET THIS

OPPORTUNITY?

FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS.

I FOUND OUT I WAS COMING HERE ON

FRIDAY.

SO FROM FRIDAY UNTIL NOW.

IT'S SO SURREAL.

I AM LIKE, IS THIS A REAL

PERSON?

YOU.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO

CHANGE EVERYTHING.

WE HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE

ON THE SHOW EVER.

BUT WE ARE DOING IT RIGHT NOW.

ARE YOU READY?

>> I GUESS.

>> OKAY.

LEA.

THIS ENVELOPE IS FOR YOU.

YOU CAN'T OPEN IT RIGHT NOW.

COURSE I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU

WHAT'S INSIDE BUT I WILL GIVE

YOU A LITTLE HINT.

THAT IS NOT A DATE CARD.

HOWEVER, IT IS ABSOLUTELY GOING

TO HELP YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY TO

FIND LOVE WITH THIS GENTLEMAN

RIGHT HERE.

BELIEVE ME, IT WILL ABSOLUTELY

CHANGE EVERYTHING.

BUT HERE'S THE THING.

YOU CAN'T OPEN IT RIGHT NOW.

YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL

YOU STEP INSIDE THE MANSION

BEFORE YOU CAN OPEN IT.

DO ME A FAVOR, PLEASE BRING THAT

WITH YOU ON NIGHT ONE, OKAY?

HOW'S THAT FOR A PLOT TWIST,

BACHELOR NATION?

WELL, WHAT A NIGHT IT'S BEEN!

WE GOT A NEW BACHELOR COUPLE,

A NEW BACHELOR, AND A NEW TWIST

THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

IT REALLY HAS BEEN A NIGHT

FULL OF SURPRISES, HASN'T IT?

BEFORE WE GO, PLEASE GIVE IT UP

ONE MORE TIME FOR OUR

HAPPY COUPLE, CHARITY AND DOTUN!

WE CERTAINLY WISH THEM THE BEST.

AND OF COURSE, WE WANT TO THANK

OUR NEW BACHELOR, JOEY,
