Matt and Rachael
New reports are out that Emmanuel Acho voiced that Matt and Rachael were never really apart. Remember, Acho hosted the special in place of Chris Harrison. He said on a podcast this week that Matt and Rachael actually left the After the Final Rose taping arm in arm. Acho noted he feels the only reason they were dishonest was because of the pressure Matt was feeling from the black community.
In the end, everyone is happy. Everyone is moving forward.
As for Katie Thurston, her ending is yet to be seen. Her finale will air in a few weeks. It looks like there is still a lot of drama to come for Katie on her journey to find love.
