After The Final Shoe: All The Wrong Reasons Episode Thirteen: All The Wrong Reasons, #14

By KK Hendin

One very last blog post from a certain mysterious blogger, which answers everyone's favorite question:

Where are they now?

***
ABOUT ALL THE WRONG REASONS:

Fated.

An award-winning reality dating show, or, as the network likes to call it, The Real Last Chance For A Fairy Tale Ending.

You know how this works.

One Prince Charming is picked. He's inevitably handsome, shredded, has a vague enough sounding job to be legitimate, and the ability to lie really well to the cameras. He's looking for his One True Love, and obviously, the best way of finding that person (who always happens to be a white woman, between five foot three and five foot ten, wearing approximately a size zero to four, and preferably blonde) is to have a team of producers round up seventeen women who are all more or less interchangeable, move them into a castle, ply them with alcohol, turn cameras on, and broadcast it all on national television.

Add in a plethora of the most ridiculous dates the producers can possibly think of, too many feelings, real and fake, and an emotional proposal at the end, and you have the highest-rated reality show in history.

Everyone is willing to play the game. Some walk in more willing than others, but in the end, they all believe in it. The show, the fairy tale, the happily ever after. Regardless of what's happened to previous 'winners' of the show.

It's not like anyone's ever been there for the right reasons. But never have the wrong reasons been so wrong.

Well, here we are, pals.

The final blog post.

The final wrap up.

It has been a joy, an honor, and an absolute nightmare, all at the same time.

I know all of you are seething with questions, and I know this because my inbox is a black hole of questions and more questions and a few unsavory comments about my last posts, my website, and my deep and abiding love for instant coffee.

Normally, this post would be one I would be putting up a few days before the final episode, but, in case you haven’t realized, nothing has gone according to plan this season. And since nothing has gone according to plan, the season is going to be airing a little differently, which you’d know by the episodes that have already aired.

This season, there will be no post-season wrap up. Partially because Donovan is dead, and the production company didn’t want Belle to be the one running it, partially because Belle herself didn’t want to run it, and mostly because none of the contestants were willing to film anything else for the show. Last I heard, there was a lawsuit pending.

Truly, the Happily Ever After we all deserve.

That being said, it’s not like I was going to leave you hanging, at the mercy of social media stalking or even *gasp* actual journalists. Don’t worry, bitches, Evil Stepsister is here for one final

Where Are They Now?

After filming, CR and his siblings went back to visit their mother. I’m glad to say she seems to be doing well, and her friends are endlessly amused and scandalized by everything they’ve seen on TV so far. (And as we know, they haven’t seen nothing yet.)

CR, last I heard, had ended the lease on his previous apartment, packed up his things, put them in storage, and was staying at his mom’s while he works on visas and opening a new business. By the time this post publishes, he’ll have already arrived back in Eileen, where he plans on staying for the next month or so.

I can confirm, though, that he and Cat did in fact have their dinner, and because truly this man is Prince Charming, said dinner took place in Italy, because when CR asked Cat what sort of food she was in the mood of, she had told him she didn’t know, she was down for whatever, and it didn’t have to be fancy. Pizza, burgers, whatever, as long as it was with him.

(I know. Barf. The cuteness.)

So that motherfucker took her to Italy for dinner, where they did, in fact, have pizza.

There may or may not be a burger date on the horizon, but I have no idea where that date might take place.

For now, it seems like Prince Charming did in fact find his One True Love, and what a way to end this
