Overview
- Following the Nov. 5 episode, Owens called his choice between finalists Peg Munson and Cindy Cullers a “razor thin” decision and said he had not decided.
- Peg accepted the Fantasy Suite and spent the night off camera, and both she and Owens described the private time positively the next morning.
- Cindy’s date featured a boat ride and stingrays before a candid dinner about his readiness to commit, ending on a cliffhanger over whether they would stay overnight.
- Owens repeated that he is letting the process “happen naturally” and is reluctant to use the word “love,” pointing to past heartbreak and a cautious approach.
- ABC has set a two-hour finale with a live After the Final Rose for Nov. 12, when the decision and the couple’s current status will be revealed, as unconfirmed spoiler reports continue circulating online.
