The final two contestants have an opportunity to meet with Becca's family on Villingili island in Maldives. Both men impress her family. Becca's sister points out it feels like she has known Garrett for much longer, as he is very open and welcoming. Blake charms the family as well. On the final individual dates, Garrett takes on a boat ride with Becca around in the middle of the Indian Ocean straddling the Equator. They swim together under the sea with dolphins and expressed their feelings. Becca wondered if her father would be proud of him as a perfect husband. Blake surprised Becca with a bike ride across the island, and they end with a dip on a beach. Blake presents a second scrapbook as a callback to how they started the journey. Becca's sister writes her a letter letting her know how proud she is of Becca and tells her to follow her heart. At this point, Becca has made her decision of who would get the final rose. The first out of the boat is Blake. Blake begins to tell Becca how much he loves her and that he wants to spend his life with her. Becca stops him and lets him know that it is over. They say their goodbyes and Blake then begins to cry. When Garrett comes to the beach, he proposes to Becca on one knee, and Becca accepts his proposal. Becca tells Garrett she loves him and is in love with him. The engaged couple makes a public appearance, speaking about how they're taking to the next step towards starting their lives together. Chris gives a pre-honeymoon gift with a surprise return trip to Thailand. Before leaving, Becca and Garrett received a free Costco business card for their first date as an engaged couple, and they also received a gift of a minivan outside the studio. |
Controversies
[edit]Garrett Yrigoyen Instagram likes
[edit]The show came under fire when it was revealed that Garrett Yrigoyen, who was the recipient of the "First Impression" rose and the eventual winner, had liked various controversial Instagram posts.[8] He later apologized and stated that he will be more mindful of what he likes in the future as those likes "were not a true reflection of [him] or [his morals]".[51][52][53]
Lincoln Adim sexual misconduct charges
[edit]On June 13, 2018, the show came under more fire for allowing contestant Lincoln Adim to participate in the show after he had been charged with groping and assaulting a woman on a harbor cruise ship on May 30, 2016. Adim was convicted of this crime after he finished filming and one week before the season premiered.[54] Adim will be registered as a sex offender. Warner Bros., who produces the show, claim that Adim lied about facing sexual misconduct charges and that they use a third-party company to conduct background checks, claiming:[55]
The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction ― or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it.
Colton Underwood drama
[edit]In January 2018, before being cast for The Bachelorette, Underwood had a brief relationship with The Bachelor season 22 contestant, Tia Booth. Kufrin was made aware of the relationship early in the season, but after Underwood received a hometown date, Booth came back and told Kufrin that she still had feelings for him. Underwood was then eliminated.[56]
During Underwood's hometown date, he revealed to Kufrin that she was the first girl he has brought home to meet his family. This was later proven to be untrue as fans of the show found old pictures of Underwood's ex-girlfriend, Aly Raisman, at his home with his family.[57]
After Underwood disclosed to Kufrin that he was a virgin, Wendy Williams commented on her show that she "[doesn't] trust people that have never had a drink, a smoke, and [she doesn't] trust people that have never had sex".[58] Williams received criticism from some fans, saying she humiliated Underwood and that "virgin-shaming" was not okay. Underwood responded to Williams on Twitter by stating "Don't trust a virgin, but you'll trust your 3 baby daddies who cheat on you every weekend. Okay".[59][60]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
