I know I’m the most recent post, but after doing The Bachelor, I wanted to continue with the runner-up from that season’s story.

Week 1:
- Much to the producers’ (and the other contestants’) surprise, [name_f]Andie[/name_f] recognizes [name_m]Angus[/name_m], and was actually a fan of Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f] before coming on the show. Due to this connection, she gives [name_m]Angus[/name_m] the First Impression [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
- [name_m]Julian[/name_m] opens up to [name_f]Andie[/name_f] about his family, and his experience being the oldest of 8 siblings, and how he inherited his father’s luxury car dealership.
- [name_m]Ian[/name_m] is disqualified after production realizes he has a girlfriend, [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], back home in [name_m]Houston[/name_m].

- JD and [name_m]Luka[/name_m] end up getting in an argument over Luka’s privilege and inheritance of Luka’s grandfather’s luxury hotel chain. [name_m]Luka[/name_m] retorts by discussing his experience in the Croatian War of Independence with his formative teenage years being taken over by the war.
- [name_m]Humphrey[/name_m] ends up getting some one-on-one time with [name_f]Andie[/name_f], until they are awkwardly interrupted by [name_m]James[/name_m], who realizes that he helped represent Humphrey’s Breakfast TV Show a few years back in a defamation lawsuit.

Week 2:
- [name_f]Andie[/name_f] decides to go on a one-on-one date with [name_m]Paul[/name_m] this week. They end up having a great conversation about the differences between being [name_f]British[/name_f] [name_f]Asian[/name_f] and [name_f]Asian[/name_f] American in a rather eye-opening scene for US audiences. This scene is acclaimed by fans of The Bachelorette and is still brought up as a watershed moment when discussing discrimination against Asians in popular culture. She gives him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of the date, and is safe from the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Ceremony this week.
- [name_m]Anwar[/name_m], [name_m]Jake[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Tony[/name_m], [name_m]Gideon[/name_m], and [name_m]Pax[/name_m] all go on the group date this week.

- [name_m]Benji[/name_m] pulls [name_f]Andie[/name_f] aside at the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Ceremony and warns her not to give [name_m]Julian[/name_m] a rose after a rather unpleasant experience with him off-camera.
- [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] looks way too visibly nervous and antsy at the ceremony.

Week 3:
- [name_f]Andie[/name_f] goes on a one-on-one date with [name_m]Angus[/name_m] this week. As a fan of Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f], they discuss the songwriting process and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] is very impressed by his intelligence, creativity, and wit. She gives him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of the date, making him safe from the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Ceremony.
- [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] gets a one-on-one date with [name_f]Andie[/name_f] as well. They hit it off right away, and Andie’s head over heels for Frederick’s sense of humor. She gives him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of their date, making him safe from the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] Ceremony.
- [name_m]Yevgeniy[/name_m] goes on a one-on-one date with [name_f]Andie[/name_f] this week. [name_f]Andie[/name_f] is unimpressed by [name_m]Yevgeniy[/name_m] and his opinions on women, and does not give him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of the date, thus eliminating him.
- Julek goes on a one-on-one date with [name_f]Andie[/name_f] as well. While Julek seems nice enough, the language barrier between the two is just too much to overcome, and she does not give him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of the date, eliminating him as well.
- [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_m]Benji[/name_m], [name_m]Frederick[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m], and [name_m]Julian[/name_m] go on the group date this week. Despite Benji’s advice last week, [name_f]Andie[/name_f] gives [name_m]Julian[/name_m] the Group Date [name_f]Rose[/name_f] this week.

- [name_f]Andie[/name_f] goes on a one-on-one date with [name_m]Julian[/name_m] this week. Despite giving him roses in weeks prior, she is openly disgusted by Julian’s sudden arrogance towards her and sends him home, thus eliminating him from this season.
- [name_m]Tony[/name_m], [name_m]Benji[/name_m], [name_m]Angus[/name_m], and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] are chosen for the group date this week. [name_m]Angus[/name_m] ends up charming [name_f]Andie[/name_f] throughout the entire date with his intelligence and wit, and they end up geeking about music together since [name_f]Andie[/name_f] was a music minor in college. She ends up giving [name_m]Angus[/name_m] the Group Date [name_f]Rose[/name_f] this week.
- [name_f]Andie[/name_f] also goes on a one-on-one date with [name_m]Paul[/name_m] this week. During their date, he reveals that he is a single father to a 6-year-old daughter, [name_f]Evie[/name_f] Chun, and a 3-year-old daughter, [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_m]Ah[/name_m] Lam. He also reveals that he has custody of his daughters after leaving an abusive situation with his ex-fiancée, [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

While [name_f]Andie[/name_f] talks to all of them quite a bit, she gives [name_m]Paul[/name_m] the Group Date [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end.
- Wanting to get to know [name_m]Victor[/name_m] a little more, [name_f]Andie[/name_f] and [name_m]Victor[/name_m] go on a one-on-one date this week. She ends up having a wonderful conversation with him as he breaks out of his shell with her and he explains how he’s very introverted and hasn’t had the chance to get to know her one-on-one, since every date he’s been on previously has been a group date. She appreciates his honesty, and his love for animals, and gives him a [name_f]Rose[/name_f] at the end of the date.

Week 7: Final Dates:
- On her final one-on-one date with [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_f]Andie[/name_f] and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] both open up about very personal stories. Still touched by his honesty and sincerity with her throughout the season, she opens up about her previous marriage, and reveals she left for similar reasons [name_m]Paul[/name_m] left his ex-fiancée, as well as her feelings of being caught in-between two identities as an Asian-American. In return, [name_m]Paul[/name_m] opens up about his childhood in [name_f]Hong[/name_f] Kong, and his family’s immigration to the UK when he was a teenager.
- On her final one-on-one date with [name_m]Victor[/name_m], [name_m]Victor[/name_m] tells [name_f]Andie[/name_f] that he is considering marriage someday.
- On her final one-on-one date with [name_m]Angus[/name_m], [name_m]Angus[/name_m] asks [name_f]Andie[/name_f] what she thought of his family. She answers truthfully, saying that she enjoyed her time with them, but is very worried about the press hounding both of them, whether because of their status as reality television stars, Andie’s success as a skincare company owner, or Angus’s cult following with Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f].
Eliminated:
- [name_m]Victor[/name_m] [name_m]Caron[/name_m] (the Owner/Founder of a [name_f]Pet[/name_f] Treats Bakery from [name_m]Ashford[/name_m], [name_m]Kent[/name_m], UK)
Week 8: Finale:
Despite Angus’s strong impressions, [name_f]Andie[/name_f] decides to choose [name_m]Paul[/name_m] in the end. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though she loves Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f] and had the choice of one of her favorite musicians, she went with her heart and chose the incredibly tenderhearted and strong [name_m]Paul[/name_m]. She was thoroughly impressed by his honesty with her from the very beginning, and his willingness to open up to her about his struggles in life despite hardly knowing her. In truth, it had been a long time since she had someone to do that with, and she truly saw herself able to open up to [name_m]Paul[/name_m] about anything by the end of the season. As a surprise, the production has flown out his family for the finale, and his daughters help him propose to [name_f]Andie[/name_f], of which she tearfully (happy tears of course) accepts. There is not a dry eye in the audience - even [name_m]Angus[/name_m] is shedding a few tears of happiness for the couple by the end.
They get married within a few months of the season finale at Whirlow [name_m]Brook[/name_m] [name_m]Hall[/name_m] in [name_m]Sheffield[/name_m]. Following in the steps of [name_m]Leon[/name_m] and [name_f]Chelsea[/name_f] Tepete, Andie’s very-close friends and the winning couple of The [name_m]Bachelor[/name_m] season that [name_f]Andie[/name_f] was on, [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] decide to go with a very small and intimate fairytale wedding. The Tepetes and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] are the only two The [name_m]Bachelor[/name_m]-universe alumni invited. [name_f]Chelsea[/name_f] is one of Andie’s bridesmaids, and [name_m]Angus[/name_m] plays a special set for [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] at the wedding with the rest of his Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f] bandmates. The fans of Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f] still talk about this wedding set, and speculate what songs were on it, since [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] surprisingly had a no cell-phone policy at their wedding. It is a truly beautiful ceremony - and of course, there are two flower girls because [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] couldn’t just choose one of his daughters.
After the wedding, [name_m]Paul[/name_m] gets offered a job at the A&E at the Manchester [name_m]Royal[/name_m] Infirmary, one of the busiest A&Es in the entire UK. The family moves to Manchester (which is luckily only an hour from [name_m]Sheffield[/name_m], so [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f] won’t be too far away from their grandparents), and much to Paul’s surprise, one of his new co-workers at the A&E is [name_f]Britta[/name_f] (Hann) Ajami, a past Bachelorette from a few seasons before the Shums, and an Emergency Psychiatrist at that A&E. Through this connection, and the couples’ shared experiences as reality television stars in the US, the Ajamis and the Shums grow very close (through which [name_m]Angus[/name_m] meets [name_m]Yusuf[/name_m] right at the exact time that Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f] is looking for a new bassist - [name_m]Yusuf[/name_m] has now produced and been the bassist for Evenings in [name_f]America[/name_f]’s last two award-winning and critically acclaimed albums, and is helping write their upcoming album with [name_m]Blake[/name_m] [name_m]Daniel[/name_m] and Eiko Matsuura from Andie’s The [name_m]Bachelor[/name_m] season - EVERYONE IS ALWAYS CONNECTED).
As for [name_f]Andie[/name_f], she ends up moving Pure [name_f]Seoul[/name_f] to Manchester, and after her contract with Ulta expires, she ends up getting a contract to sell Pure [name_f]Seoul[/name_f] skincare as a Boots-exclusive brand (the American fans are still very disappointed by that). [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] find out soon after the wedding that [name_f]Andie[/name_f] is expecting quadruplets nonetheless. In an homage to the couple’s intersecting identities (with [name_f]Andie[/name_f] being Korean-American and [name_m]Paul[/name_m] being British-Chinese) their quadruplets’ names are [name_m]Harry[/name_m] Zixin Gyeong Shum, [name_f]Ada[/name_f] Jiayi Myung-Ok Shum, [name_m]Garth[/name_m] Hui-Fen Ryung Shum, and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_m]Genji[/name_m] Hae-Won Shum. And somehow, despite their careers, newfound fame, and now six children, [name_m]Paul[/name_m] and [name_f]Andie[/name_f] find time to create the [name_f]Sincerity[/name_f] Is Scary Initiative, a domestic abuse awareness foundation, after being open about their own experiences with domestic violence on their season. To this day, they are still one of the top-Bachelor universe couples of all-time, and fan favorites around the world.
