Talk about trying to find Mr. Right... or Mrs. Right. From the dating game to change of heart and the fifth wheel we have seen it all on television.
One particular show that has been popular enough to have ran its ninth edition this fall is "The Bachelor." This time around the lucky bachelor himself was on a search for his lucky lady in the city of love, Rome.
"The Bachelor" is a romantic reality series where one lucky gentleman gets the opportunity to meet 25 lovely and sometimes vindictive bachelorettes all for hoping to find his so-called woman of his dreams.
"I wasn't really excited about this season's bachelor. When the show first came out I remember that I would watch religiously but this year I was more of a Flavor of Love fanatic," said junior Anisha Marcel, Central Islip, N.Y.
"The Bachelor" Rome is definitely not your average bachelor. He is 34-year-old Prince Lorenzo Borghese from the United States. Born to his parents Prince Francesco and Princess Amanda Borghese he was born in Milan, lived in Connecticut not too far from SHU, and was recently residing in Manhattan up until the show.
"The Bachelor also was no average Joe, yet a smarty pants who graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, and received his MBA from Fordham University.
In the two hour finale Prince Lorenzo Borghese selected Jennifer Wilson to be his number one pick. Jennifer Wilson is a 24-year-old eighth grade school teacher from Pembroke Pines, FL.
Following in the footsteps of some of his previous bachelors, Lorenzo did not propose marriage to Jennifer. Instead of getting engaged to someone he just met on national television he gave Jennifer a "promise-ring" that his own mother helped design. This family ring that he gave Jennifer was all in part of asking her to leave the "Garden of Eden" and join him back in New York.
According to Realityworld.com "The Bachelor's" own words to Jennifer the night of the finale were, "We are in this Garden of Eden [and] I'm at the point where I know I love you-I love every quality about you-but I need to get out of this garden and go on Planet earth and see that these emotions I feel towards you are real as they are in Italy that they are in the United States and if you're willing to take it on I'll be right there with you, and this is what this ring is all about."
"Personally I think the dude is playing it safe, you have this good looking, smart guy who comes from an awesome family that doesn't need any fake chick trying to become famous messing up his swagger," said Andre Isla sophomore Bellport, N.Y.
The two will live together at the Prince's apartment in Manhattan while "The Bachelor" himself tries to control his cosmetic entrepreneur business.
Only time will tell what is in store for the happy couple. Maybe it will be long term or maybe it will fall flat. But for all you "Bachelor" fans have no fear a tenth edition is here. At the end of the finale the new bachelor was introduced and he is no other than US Navy Lieutenant Andy Baldwin.
