[@bostongirl9277]

I think you can only be in love with One person. When she was crying with Joey, and she looked at him, and said, there's no doubt.. I don't like when they do that because, that's basically telling him that it's you. You can love 2, but be in love with One only.. just my opinion..

I probably get hate from this, but Dot is not the one. I don’t feel true love coming from him. It feels like more of familiarity and mechanical. Joey on the other hand I believe was genuine love. Good luck to the both of them.

[@lystrasamuel5183]

I feel like Joey was not there for Charity but to be the bachelor. I feel like he was already chosen from the beginning. I feel that producer, Charity,Joey all know. They task was to make Joey be in the final two and as if heartbroken and then be chosen as the Bachelor. I feel it was all set up that way
