Jasmine chooses her leading man on The Bachelorette Canada

32 Comments

After 10 dramatic episodes, Bachelorette Canada star Jasmine Lorimer made her decision on Tuesday night. With the beaches of Cuba as the backdrop, Jasmine chose Kevin over Mikhel in the season finale.

Mikhel took the bad news surprisingly well in front of Jasmine, telling her he had her back regardless of what she decided.

“You are one of the best people that I’ve ever met in my entire life,” she began. “I don’t know the last time anyone has made me feel as cared about and as supported as you have made me feel. I have meant every single word that I’ve said to you, but I feel I’ve developed a stronger relationship with someone else. And I feel sort of crazy for having to say goodbye to someone as amazing as you. It feels wrong, but I know that you deserve the best, and you’re going to find that person.”

I know Mikhel was crushed, but I felt pretty badly too. After all, Mikhel spent the first half of the episode on an emotional high, positive Jasmine would choose him and he’d be slipping a simple engagement ring on her finger. Instead, he got a hug, a broken heart and a lonely ride to the airport.

“I’m sad that I don’t get to have Jasmine,” he said while on the road before delivering a truly sad line: “I just don’t know what people want from me. I’m literally the best man I know how to be right now. I don’t know how else to be a better person. I don’t know what else I can do.”

Meanwhile, the man who made such a great first impression on Jasmine was the one she picked. Despite misgivings about his commitment to the process and a seriously scary mother, Jasmine picked Kevin to be her man. The fact she kept him despite his jealous tendencies and protective mom was a true indication of how much she cared for Kevin.

“I really felt, early on, that you and I had something that I didn’t have with anyone else,” she said. “I think that you are one of the most incredible people that I’ve ever met and there been a crazy electricity from the start. I care about you so much and I love you.”

She also said yes to Kevin’s proposal, and he slipped the glittery bauble on her finger and he accepted the final rose of the season.

Then it was time for the After the Final Rose special, with host Noah Cappe welcoming Jasmine, Kevin and Mikhel to the stage to talk about their experiences. Here’s what we learned:

  • The ladies love Mikhel.
  • Mikhel still loves Jasmine.
  • Mikhel is a classy dude.
  • Jasmine and Kevin have had conflict after the show was over.
  • Kevin got a haircut.
  • Jill likes Jasmine.

Featured, Shoot the Messenger

Shoot the Messenger goes boom

The last couple of episodes of Shoot the Messenger have been slow burns as momentum has worked up through dramatic tension to the inevitable explosive finale. Hassan has been trying to control the situation around the cell phone while Daisy, Simon and Lutz have dug for more information on Harry while the noose around Lawson tightened.

Monday’s newest, “News Travels Fast” by Ian Barr and directed by Gary Harvey, set off two explosive charges on the storylines.

In the first, Hassan has apparently tumbled off the Scarborough Bluffs, possibly to his death. After thwarting all attempts Phil Hardcastle has made to this point, it looks like his luck has run out. He’d secured $50,000 from Daisy and a rival newspaper for the video of Khaalid and Sam, but chose to gloat next to the cliffs. It would appear Phil finally found him. But I have my suspicions that Hassan is OK; folks are pulled from the Bluffs by emergency services all the time and Lutz is down on the beach so it makes sense he’ll be all right.

Not so OK? Sam Charles. Daisy tossed a verbal grenade into his lap by outright questioning his relationship with Khaalid. I have no idea how Sam is going to answer it—that will come next week—but I’m sure it will further estrange the Channing sisters. Not that they were doing all that well relationship-wise. Though their birthday dinner with Henry did have a precious few feel-good moments, it was marred by bitterness and old emotions.

And, unfortunately, emotions got the better of Lutz and Daisy, who went from a quick makeout scene in his car following the dead-end that was Harry to slow bout of lovemaking back at his place. I couldn’t help but giggle inappropriately at Harvey’s choice of visuals while Lutz and Daisy romped: tools screwed bugs into Lawson’s office and were inserted into his car. Sometimes, the symbolism is obvious.

Shoot the Messenger airs Mondays at 9 p.m. on CBC.
