Written by Kaelyn Spickler<\/em><\/p>\n

I am now freshly 22-year-old, and unless something crazy happens, this is my last semester writing for the Brackety-Ack. \ud83d\ude41 With that, I decided it would be fun for my final column to be \u201c22 Things\u2026\u201d where I can sometimes share advice, list my favorites, or give some insight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had been keeping a running tab on some things I found note-worthy to share leading up to the finale, and despite everything going on with the franchise, I still wanted to share.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Khayla rode in on a stickshift and had a picnic with Matt on the truck bed on the first night, which he loved, but then we never saw her again until she went home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Victoria only thought Marylynn was toxic when Matt presented her with her favorite flower.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The theory that Victoria was a producer on the show is very convincing.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The girls are catty and mean.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. This season focused more on the drama than the connections (ex. Sarah got more airtime leading up to her leaving than the one-on-one dates received).<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Katie had the best character development (from \u201cthe girl with the vibrator\u201d to an advocate against bullying).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Matt is a really good listener and says the right things\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. \u2026 but he is still learning how relationships \u201cwork.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Boxing dates should end with this season (quite frankly, they should have ended awhile ago).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Anna looked like Hannah B.\u2019s twin, but she actually didn\u2019t like the comparison.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. Serena C. wore knee high sparkly boots and got zero credit for that.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Anna\u2019s only basis for her theory that Brittany was an escort was <\/span>just<\/span><\/i> based on the fact she \u201cknew a lot of rich men in the city.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  13. Magi made it over halfway through the season and received only 10 minutes of total screentime.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  14. Katie ended up becoming the girl best friend.<\/span><\/li>\n
  15. Matt wore a hoodie as opposed to his normal turtle neck sweaters on his dinner date with Jessenia- a sign he wasn\u2019t feeling it anymore.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  16. Abigail was done really dirty with her breakup and deserves a better explanation at Women Tell All.<\/span><\/li>\n
  17. Matt\u2019s \u201cthank you for sharing that\u201d is a giveaway he isn\u2019t feeling it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  18. Kit even admitted she tried to give Matt an out by telling him life with her would be \u201cslower progressing\u201d than life with some of the other women\u2026<\/span><\/li>\n
  19. …but when he didn\u2019t break up with her, she sent herself home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  20. Michelle and Abigail are too good for this franchise.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  21. These women are successful with great careers (ex. a couple of attorneys, communications manager, financial manager, ICU nurse, etc.), but the show didn\u2019t portray them as successful or empowering.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  22. Matt was naive to the drama because he hasn\u2019t been a part of the franchise.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
