When Matt Grant dumped Chelsea Wanstrath on Monday night’s season finale of The Bachelor, she was shocked that he would choose Shayne Lamas over her. On her way to the limo, Chelsea stopped and told Matt that Shayne was the “fakest girl in the house”. There had been much speculation that Shayne only joined the show to help her acting career and get some exposure. Her own father, actor Lorenzo Lamas, even verified that to Matt during the hometown date episode. Matt, blinded by love, ignored the warnings of others and plowed full speed ahead into his relationship with the California blonde. The two are currently engaged but it’s not certain how long it will last, especially considering Shayne’s post-Bachelor projects.

On last night's season finale of The Bachelor, Matt Grant got down on one knee and proposed to Shayne Lamas. He presented her with a Tacori platinum and diamond ring, valued at $60,000. Minutes earlier, he said goodbye to Chelsea Wanstrath, after telling her that he could not picture a life with her. Chelsea kept it together, for the most part, but took a shot at Shayne before she left, calling her "the fakest person in the house". Matt had already made up his mind, though, and popped the question to a very happy Shayne. Today, the happy couple participated in a conference call, filling in the press about where they're going to live, how they dealt with watching everything on television, and beating the odds as a couple!

On tonight’s season finale of The Bachelor, Matt brought Shayne and Chelsea home to London to meet his family. Chelsea was up first and took a trip with Matt in The London Eye, an observation wheel, before heading home with him. At dinner, she was polite and charming and Matt’s mother seemed to like her very much. Matt was worried that Chelsea doesn’t feel as strongly as he did but felt better after seeing her with his family. Chelsea left London feeling like things could not have gone better and looked forward to seeing him again in Barbados.

On tonight's finale of The Bachelor, Matt will propose to either Shayne or Chelsea. Personally, I think the guy's nuts. He's hardly known these women and has had very limited interactions with them but reality tv will make a person do funny things. He'll take both women back to England to meet his family, who will give their opinion as to who he should choose. As in every finale, I expect him to say things like: I'm in love with two women, I'm so confused, this is the hardest decision I've ever had to make, and the like. Many viewers feel that the preview gave it away that Chelsea won but we'll see for ourselves. I'll be here all hour with live updates so keep refreshing and post your comments, too!

Matt Grant is the envy of many men. 25 beautiful and interesting women from all over the country came to meet him, in hopes that he would be their soul mate. He spent the 12th season of The Bachelor, taking them on extravagant and romantic dates. He kissed more women in a month than some men kiss in their lifetimes. Yet, there's part of the job of being The Bachelor that certainly isn't enviable. Each week, he must break a woman's heart, sending her home, and running the high risk of encountering a meltdown. Now, Matt is down to only two women: Shayne and Chelsea. It seems the two stand an equal chance to hearing Matt say, "Will you marry me?" on Monday night's finale. If Matt's having trouble deciding, here are a few reasons why Shayne would be the best match for him.

Next Monday, Matt Grant will get down on one knee and propose to the love of his life on the season finale of The Bachelor. He had been warned about previous Bachelor relationships, that they never work out, and never make it to the altar. Matt promises, though, that he’s different. He swears he’s found true love and says he’ll do whatever it takes to make things work. Unlike previous seasons of The Bachelor, Matt has been allowed to see the woman he chose and the two have talked every day since parting. He can’t wait until next Monday, when he and his fiancé can head out into public for the first time as a couple. Today, he spoke to reporters in a conference call about this season of The Bachelor and the upcoming finale.

On tonight’s special episode of The Bachelor, Matt Grant faces the women he rejected on “The Women Tell All”. Things get started with Stacey, one of the most infamous eligible women in Bachelor history. On her first night in the house, she got belligerently drunk, told the women she would kill them and their families, and shoved underwear in Matt’s pocket. She was quickly eliminated from the competition. Stacey said she was embarrassed by her behavior and tried to convince everyone that she is really a sweet person … but nobody was buying it!
