EXCLUSIVE What Happens After The Final Rose Of The Bachelorette? Plus, What’s Next For Desiree And Chris?
August 6, 2013 by Lindsay Cronin
Last night, fans watched as Desiree Hartsock gave her final rose to Chris Siegfried and accepted his proposal, but in reality, the proposal happened months ago and ever since, they’ve been in hiding. It’s an odd concept when you think about it and so is the After The Final Rose ceremony. Instead of riding off into the sunset, the winner is forced to have to relive the moments his new fiancé has shared with other men — and then sit back as she reunites with them. You can’t help but wonder what is going through the mind of the poor guy and here to give us a look inside at what it’s like is Bachelorette season 9 winner Jesse Csincsak.
Csincsak went through all of the things that Siegfried dealt with last night during his own stint on the show, so there’s no one better to answer our burning questions about the After The Final Rose episode and fill us in on what is next for Siegfried and Hartsock.
Is it hard being reunited with the Bachelorette after having seen the season in its entirety?
If u win u get reunited every 7-10 days or so and can watch each episode early to watch together which helps throughout the process.
How does it feel having to see those connections that the Bachelorette was having play out and then see the men face-to-face?
It’s hard but u have to talk about it when you see the episode to keep things in the open.
Is there time backstage for the suitors to catch up with one another?
No just the final 2 guys.
How does it feel having to watch the Bachelorette reunite with her many exes?
Not too bad since the chosen one is hidden.
What goes on behind the scenes? Is there other Bachelor/Bachelorette alums drinking and mingling?
Always some drinking and mingling at the after the final rose.
After the rose ceremony ends and the experience of being on the ABC show is over, how hard is it to adjust to regular life?
If you win they put you on your for the next 6 months flying you everywhere
Do you have certain appearances that have to be made as part of being the Bachelorette couple?
“Yes, lots! They fly you everywhere so you can brag about the show.”
Now that the season has wrapped, fans are thrilled to welcome another Bachelor into their lives. As we reported on Monday night, Juan Pablo Galavis was named as the season 18 Bachelor. His journey to find love will begin airing on ABC in January of 2014.
