00:00Rachel, Lynn, Lindsay, will you be my reina forever?
00:06So pretty, yes!
00:07Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has chosen her future husband and broken America's heart.
00:14Hey guys, it's Emily with your most necessary story of the day,
00:17and the trailblazing first ever Black Bachelorette is now engaged to Brian Abbasolo
00:22after an anticlimactic finale that was pretty hard to watch for everyone involved.
00:27From the beginning, it seemed like the real chemistry was between Rachel and runner-up Peter Crouse,
00:31but the big sticking point was 31-year-old Peter did not feel comfortable getting engaged on a TV show
00:36after only six weeks of dating, while Rachel was determined not to leave without a ring on it.
00:42I didn't come this far to just have a boyfriend at the end of it.
00:48I could have done that without all of this.
00:51So in quite the twist, it wasn't Brian's proposal that had us riveted,
00:55but rather the tearful break-up between Rachel and Peter.
01:06Now, let's point out Peter did eventually back down and agree to propose,
01:09but Rachel knew at that point it would be forced.
01:11I want you to do it because you want to do it.
01:14I want to do that when I feel like it is the correct time.
01:18And you feel tomorrow is the correct time?
01:21No.
01:22Exactly.
01:23There has been a huge backlash against Rachel for dumping Peter,
01:25but she has been defending herself on Twitter and reiterating that she wasn't coming on the show just to find a boyfriend.
01:31Rachel's 32 and is done waiting, and it's hard to blame her.
01:34Of course, then there's the painful after the final rose ceremony where Peter has to relive the whole thing
01:40and watch as the woman he loves cozies up to her new fiancé who decided to ham it up for the cameras and propose for a second time.
01:47It was a strange thing to see Brian, the ascensible winner, a 37-year-old chiropractor from Miami,
01:53sit back and learn his wife-to-be was so heartbroken by losing Peter.
01:57Even more awkward is watching Brian and Rachel do an interview from their car on GMA while all the questions are about Peter.
02:04The look on Brian's face kind of sums it all up.
