Sad! Now that she’s down to two men — Ben Flajnik and JP Rosenbaum — what better place for a man to propose (what if they just wanted to date her and not give her a rock paid for by ABC? What a weird, twisted world we live in!) than in Fiji? Here’s where the romance and a little bit of late night nooky went down on Monday’s episode. more…
