The Bachelor Finale: It's Moana vs. Sarah

E_BachelorFinale_136.jpgTonight is the series finale of The Bachelor. ER doctor Travis Stork -- who has better cheekbones than Brad Pitt -- chooses between two chicks: wholesome Sarah (right) and the complex Moana.

Who do you think Travis will pick? And will he propose? Put in your two cents -- or just read what other people think -- below.

And get a kick out of these pre-Bachelor pics of Travis. Someone should have called in a consult about his hairstyle. Yikes!

I think Travis is going to go with Moana. I think Sarah is too plain jane for him. Moana is a challenge -- she's complex, emotional, exotic looking.

I think it looks like he's going to pick Moana too -- so it could be that they edited Sarah to make her seem lame. And her dresses? Ugh.

JJ said:

Okay, so noone is posting on this one haha...so I'll be the first. Travis is a decent guy you can tell and I doubt he will propose to any girl..he doesnt seem the type to take it that fast..although another "let's see where this leads ring" will possibly happen.

Moana is a cool girl. She has a website on myspace.com and she has a lot of depth and as emotional as she got on the show at times...she is cool, you can tell.

Sarah is down-to-earth, girl next door. they didnt show enough of her for us to see their chemistry but the show makes it look as if he will pick Moana.

I have no clue really...I keep saying it's Sarah..if he wants to play it safe, but if he wants the challenge, he'll go with Moana...hmmmm I'm sure noone care though lol

cate said:

that is si freaking funny. im actually not even sure who it should pick - prob moana (who else could deal with that loon?).

i hope to attend a finale party tonight - my little sister loves this show!

Diane said:

I hope it's Sarah, but in any case chances are the "romance" is already over!

Mardi said:

I think he'll pick Moana- for the reasons stated above (she'll run after the show is over though). Suzy, you are so right, Sarah's dresses were AWFUL! Did you see that purple number? She's sweet, but too safe.

Kimberly said:

THANKYOU for saying that about the dresses and that purple one took the cake!!!!
Awful taste!!
Grandma chose her wardrobe!!!

tiff said:

They always make it seem like he's gonna choose one girl and in the end he chooses the other... like they focus more on the moments of the girl he's not going to choose so the audience gets thrown a curveball.

Which makes me afraid that him and Moana are not gonna end up together. Sarah seems like she wants to change him. She doesn't look like a girl who's able to loosen up and have fun. Can you imagine her going rock climbing and being up for adventure with Travis? Highly doubtful.

Stephanie said:

He needs to pick Sarah. Moana might be challenging and exotic, but in the long run I think that will wear thin on him. He is an ER doctor. Moana is not going to be the kind of wife to sit at home with the kids while her husband works 70-80 hours a week. And Moana dosn't seem genuine to me. Sarah is more in tune with who she is and is ready for a step like marriage and reproducing!!! LOL.
I hope it's Sarah.

Ann said:

I think that Travis will pick Moana, because since day one she was somewhat real about her feelings. She came into the show not expecting to fall inlove, while the other girls [after a week] described it to be "love" just like that.

In real life, it takes time to fall inlove..And I really hope Moana wins TRavis's heart. Sarah is too boring for him. MOana played the game with teh girls around not making it seem like she was a competition. While the other girls described to the last detail their dates and feelings. GREAT strategy MOANA...seriously.

jillian said:

i don't care who he picks cuz i don't watch and plus there is only one relationship that has actually made it through this circus anyway. most do this to get a little publicity and whether they end up being famous is hard to say, why would you want to meet someone on tv to marry? reality tv has really gone overboard...and to think that most are gullable enough to believe it's REALLY happening.

Tammy said:

God, I hope they don't start another Bachelor. It is soooo stupid !

kate said:

I hope, hope, hope that he picks Moana. The would be perfect together. But, I have a feeling that after his family meets Sarah they will talk him into going with her. Sarah is soooo drab and boring. Besides Travis doesn't seem like he wants someone who's ready to "reproduce" as one of the other commentors stated.
If he has any balls he'll pick Moana.

MaryN said:

I think it's so ridiculous that some of you are actually sitting here talking like you know these people. We know what ABC wants us to know; a lot of it is edited to look like something it's not. It's a television show, and if ABC didn't make it interesting and dramatic, then who would want to watch it? Personally, I am on Team Travis - the man will choose the woman he feels is best suited for him. I really don't think it's fair to be the judge and jury for these women when we haven't spent an ounce of time with them.

Irma said:

I think he will pick Sarah. Moana seems fake. It seems she is always saying the right thing to Travis- and she has him more of on a sexual level.I don't think she will be wanting to move to TN. or near the mountains as he wants to.( Travis is dumb to say that too- why didn't he just move to the mountians and then find someone there to hook up with?)She is an L.A. girl and that is where she is going to stay. Or it could be he already chose one, but they have spent time apart and they probably already decided to remain friends. So who really knows what will happen until tonight.

dana said:

he should pick Sarah if he wants a wife and kids who'll "hold down the fort" while he's away doing ER shift work (that's right....his fair share of nights & weekends in any ER group of docs)....how long will "exotic" & "complex" Moana settle for fri and sat nights alone or with the girls? And, by the way, what do you think Travis' annual income is gonna be? a whole lot less than MOSY women would imagine (not accounting for med school loans he might still be paying off!) Take it from this ER wife of 24 years and 4 wonderful kids, he should go with Sarah but since he's been single so late into life, he'll probably choose Moana. Good luck, either way, Travis!

gsatire said:

Wow. He rejected a fun beautiful intelligent girl for a plain jane sarah that is stereotypical in every single way. And not to mention she looks like she'll get fat, like her mother...

I'm sure sarah is nice...i'm just angry at the way he lead moana on before he rejected her.

ADN said:

Travis turned out to be a plane southern joe and a doctor with high intellect he was comin across as all along...he couldn't fathom the depth of Moana's feelings. Some times silence conveys more than million words...but poor Moana failed there. Too bad Travis ... Good Luck Moana :-))

LadyinOrange said:

How pathetic are the fat comments directed at Sarah's mom? How do you know Moana's mother isn't fat? We only got to see her STEP mother. Go Sarah!!!
You deserve this! Be happy.

Bre said:

I am so glad Travis picked Sarah. They are both so down to earth. They were both very respectful throughtout the whole show. Travis is not someone who was out for a fun time...he seemed to be really looking for someone to spend his life with. Moana may have been pretty but there was something very different about her. Why could she not answer his family and give them one answer about why they should be together??? He made a very wise choice.

dana said:

thanks for letting us in on the results here on the west coast....the show just started 15" ago and i'm too sleepy to stay up....yeah for Sarah...saw it posted that Travis' has already applied for an ER position in Nashville....

susiek said:

I agree, Travis turned out to be a plane joe... and an ass, I hated the way he lead moana all along.... :o( too bad. I liked him before, now I would like to throw a tomato at him... :o( two tumbs down. Good for Moana she is FREE of him because "looks" can be very deceiving...

Denise said:

I am soooooo happy that Travis picked Sarah!! Moana was a complete "nut case". Down-to-earth, wholesome, honest...those are GREAT qualities that men are looking for. I should know, I'm one of the "boring, low-maintenance" types who's been married to my sweetheart for 24 years!!! Kudos to you Travis and Sarah.

chris said:

please people just look at pics of travis BEFORE he had a makeover to go on the show..... sorry but the before Travis doesn't look credible at all....................... oh my gosh, and to think that I bought into his bullcrap............. I give this relationship a few weeks if's not over already. GO Moana, good for you, you're too real for this surfer dude......

whatEVER said:

Sarah was respectful during the show? Please. Do you not remember her calling Moana a bitch?

This Bachelor was the lamest ever--and of course, there won't be any After The Rose, so Travis and Sarah won't bore us out of watching the show ever again.

incredulous said:

I've never felt more strongly about any Bachehelor finale. What was he thinking ?
Moana was spirited and opened herself. I guess he's showing his true colors. Doing what he's supposed to do as his family would want it. Good luck. As for Moana, she's going to have many opportunities due to this tv reality injustice. She deserves better.

lily said:

we want more of moana let her be the next bachelorette to meet someone who
will really accept her for who she really is
travis you suck/

Lynne said:

We all have opinions on who Travis should have chosen, but all of our opinions are based on what we saw on TV, what ABC wanted us to see. We don't really know any of the women or Travis either. Moana may be a perfectly nice lady but she flip flopped on what she wanted from the show and it seemed like most of the girls mistrusted her motives. Sarah came across as wholesome, down to earth and at times almost boring. As for leading Moana along, that's what the show is all about. That's what the ladies expect when they sign on for the show. Travis could only choose one girl in the end but had to actually date all the others and near the end meet families and have more intimate dates with multiple ladies all in front of the tv cameras. Not the best situation for actually getting to know someone and forming a lasting bond. I think Moana lost points with Travis's family and thus with him. He made a choice based on first impressions, group dates, and a few one on one dates. Maybe we will see Moana again.

nosarah said:

i can not believe travis picked that ugly plain jane 40 looking woman over moana.what was he thinking??well since he hasnt proposed to her i can tell he is not serious about sarah.it will be over soon he is not into her.according to his bodylanguage and the comments he gaved truout the show he has no feelings for sarah.wait and see!!!

Tammy said:

I am soooo happy it's over !!!

Holly said:

Sarah was the perfect choice for Travis. This time the show has done a better job combining true family life (moms going shopping, nieces visiting,).Travis was respectful during most of the show. I still can't stand the intimate kissing. I feel this needs to be saved for the last show with only the one.But that is because I know as a mom of teen girls, it is too easy for girls to be "emotionally" caught up in the affection shown and forget the practical side of life. Hence, the emotional car drama where M's true motives were seen. Moana should be grateful she was chosen at all, given a chance to be loved and practice social manners. In the end, it was all about "Me". She was so "me" focused and proud, she couldn't even tell his folks what she liked about him. Sarah would be the life partner type-she could stand on her own merits and yet seek to be a friend and support him when he needs it. Mutal friendship, forgiveness and a lack of self-centeredness are keys to a good marriage.Every Cinderella knows that.

Who Cares said:

Am I the only one, or is everybody blind...Travis is actually Ron Howard with a wig! Yes, OPY! Happy Days! THAT Ron Howard.

judahpeak said:

he should have picked that young hottie sarag from Canada with the fake boobs. since the ride is so short, he might as well have some fun.

Moana is all show. you can tell that she has MAJOR baggage. this 'poetic warrior' crap is for the birds. i'd love for some of her former boyfriends to post their thoughts about her. i dont like sarah either. this show sucks. what channel is '24' on?

Tyler B said:

I am still reeling over the fact that Travis chose Sarah over Moana!! He didn't even seem all that into Sarah, they rarely kissed and when they did it was like a mere peck on the lips. Moana and Travis had such great chemistry and he talked so highly of her! I think the show must have been clevery edited so that we would all think he would chose Moana when infact all the passionate scenes between travis and Sarah must have been cut out so that the ending would have a twist. It just doesn't seem right! How could Moana lose? I loved her! She deserved him!! Moana, if you read this... you can do way better!! I can't believe he led her on so much, it was asif Sarah knew she was going to be turned down then bam... it was Moana I was so shocked!!

shocked--- said:

Yes, i was shocked too. The way they edit the show they try to keep us so sucked in and go to throw us for a loop. I liked Moana, but she isn't 'safe' one. She could have some baggage but she was reflective, artsy, intense and interesting--lots of gusto and surprise. sara- seemed solid but perhaps a little boring--but what do i know--i don't know her, from all this editing who can? Although i do think travis and moana have/had the real sexual chemistry--no doubt. Unfortunately it clearly appeared that he led Moana on----up to the very end it appeared he desired her more, that's why I am shocked. My heart is heavy for her, especially with her emotional intensity and certainty about it. I wouldn't do this program--who wants to be humiliated and edited up a storm for public appeal. Travis' lines were so scripted with the "BUT...s" just to throw us all for a loop as we watch the previews.Sounded so stupid and awkward when he inserted in the "But" before choosing Sara--all done to throw us.

who cares said:

They are all actors/actresses trying to make it big. Proof...why would an ER doctor take steroids??? He should know better!!

Opey--yes! said:

"who cares"---Hey you know, my husband was glancing at the program last night and he said "Do you know who Travis is? ---Ron Howard!" so funny--yes indeed he too saw the uncanny resemblance. Maybe he is Opey grown up afterall. Hey "who cares" you've posted on here quite a bit--seems like you do really care after all! care enough to post!

Kaitlyn said:

I was so happy when Sarah won! She was exactly what he needed. Moana was too much for me, always so emotional. She has some serious issues that she needs to deal with. And Sara was perfectly respectful, face it Moana was a bitch. She didnt deserve travis she was too fake and dramatic.

diane said:

totally disappointed with ending. Moana was real private, and had issues like most human people. Sarah was the phoney! Shows you that the Dr. had zero interpersonal skills. He deserves the phoney , money and statis grabbing girl.

baby l said:

I will never watch the bachelor again.

Dr. Stork obviously likes boring, unattractive, backstabbing women. He was in medical school too long.
His true side came out, he couldnt handle a real women, with passion.

Bre said:

If Travis and Sarah doesn't work out then I have a couple of friends in Hendersonville Tennessee (Cindy and Whitney) that would just love to receive a rose from him!!!!

collette said:

I noticed that several people here have commented on how physically unattractive Sara is. This gets old for me for several reasons. I think Sara comes across as a clean n classicly pretty-fairly attractive person-with no major physical feature flaws. Honestly, n my opinion the show didn't hold any real drop dead beauties on the outside:"The beauty Susan" with the close set crossed eyes and crooked mouth, and then even "the God" Travis has spindly legs disproportionate with his upper body.Everybody has their flaws somewhere! Although I take care of myself physically/mentallly and am lucky to have some good genes,(my opinion) I believe there's always room for improvement inside and out.Furthermore, I'm far from thinking I'm a goddess who can judge others without even seeing or meeting them. I'm not super harsh nor critical of physical appearances because what matters most to me is what's on the inside. Besides 30 years from now time will have changed it all up for us, inside and out,if we are even still alive!

LaDonna said:

I'm glad Travis chose Sarah. Finally a bachelor with good taste. After watching the show I think Travis knew who it was he was going to pick even before the final date. He was more loving toward Sarah than he was Moana. Plus it seems as if Moana has some emotional issues. Sarah seems to be more in control of her life. I'm not sure why it is that people think the exotic women are always better.

LaDonna said:

Does anyone know when they'll show Travis and Sarah together on TV again? or will we just have to read about it in magazines?

jhendrixfan said:

Dr. Travis Dork! Either he has no clink (and needs elective surgery) or this show is so fake on so many levels! He should be fed a diet of Tara & Canada Sarah! Moana is exotic, sexy & HOT, cooks (for everyone), respectful and has emotional depth. She may even have morals! But the house says she's a bitch? Say Moana is picked, moves to Nashville (they never sayt if his ER residency is over at Vanderbilt). Well Sarah lives less than 1 mile away - VERY awkward potentially. Sarah allegedly goes to the same gym, grocery store, etc. BUT "he never saw her". Yeah right - because she probably dresses in moo-moos and other drapery! How fast will a Dr. become bored with a 1 act, K-school teacher who can't even hit a tennis ball? Sarah's caboose and her Mom have a lot in common! Dr. Dork needs to get a clue! Bring on Moana as the next Bachelorette (if she can handle it) and have a STEAMY reality show with guys that aren't Ron Howard! Everyone knows that a Bachelorette show is FAR more likely to produce lasting results.

Traci said:

I have to say that I am happy that Travis chose Sarah. Someone commented on hte fact that they barely kissed.. just a couple pecks on the lips and Moana and him showed more chemistry. Well, did you ever think it was because Sarah has more class and doesn't start to totally make out with a guy she just met that 25 other girls will be swapping spit with? You never know about the shy quiet types. I'm sure she has a wild side an unlike Moana she opted not not to display it to the entire TV viewing audience. I think Travis saw what most of us say. A stable beautiful woman who is down to earth, emotionally stable with the motherly instincts. I don't see Moana sitting home with children running them all to practices and school functions on her own. Great job Travis!!!

Diane said:

I hope Moan-er (I mean Moana) isn't brought back as some future Bachelorette. I've heard enough of her whining and crying... I'd rather see the "My eggs are rotting" gal--at least she would be amusing. Travis was intelligent to pass up Moan-er..even if he and Sarah are not in it for the long haul, at least she is more suited. Here is a case where a guy decided with his brain--not his genitals--and yet he is ridiculed for it. Certainly, it IS disappointing that Travis and Sarah aren't making TV appearances. We don't need the details, but surely the audience is entitled to know if they are still dating...?

Nancy J said:

I didn't watch a day of this show. I simply went to the website and read the show by show re-cap, and Travis' notes. Its clear he had a thang for young Sarah B! Yeppers, but he couldn't go there.

Notice that he chose Sarah S, but he didn't propose as far as I read. Instead, he chose her to get to know her better.

He clearly said he didn't feel sexual chemistry with her. And from what I read, she had to work herself up to feel something hot for him.

As for Moana -- yeah, I spelled it wrong -- PLEASE! Some woman of "exotic" heritage is gonna get picked by Mr Milk Toast. Get REAL!

Also, Moana is not that hot in photos. Perhaps she doesn't photograph well. Sarah S is nice looking, and looks good with Travis.

Whatever. Its a TV SHOW! I bet he got laid by young Sarah B... I'm just sayin! LOL

JHENDRIXFAN said:

I seriously doubt that they are still even dating as the show probably wrapped before Christmas. No chemistry with Sarah, just homesick (I can't wait to go home!). Winnipeg Sarah is still a "student" - perhaps a female Van Wilder @ 23 years old! Why he didn't dump her earlier I dunno. Dr Dork is not looking for kids so no sense in all that "grounded" stuff. He will be getting more female ass than a city bus during rush hour now. Otherwise he would have hooked up with "Dr. Rotting Eggs" (too much oncology?). Sarah H. has little class when it comes to style. Moana did not go gaga over Dr. Dork at first but just let it evolve with time and then started to have at least physical chemistry with time. Sarah seemed like a buddy. Another good option was Cole - why he let her go but kept that immature Sarah B is just sick. Perhaps Cole would be a nice Bachelorette but she does not have as hot a body as Moana. They made Moana play down her body - the red dress was way better than that black thing.

who cares said:

TO: Opey-yes
I'll have to admit...I got caught up in the whole series, so I guess I really do care a little. (blush) But it's like a train wreck, you just have to watch!!! I'm almost sure it's all scripted, and how in the hell do 2 people confess their true feelings for one another with 2 or more camera men lurking about??? It's all fake, kinda like the majority of the hair color and tanned bodies. I do hope MOANA gets her own bacheloret show...she can REALLY act.

islandgirl said:

No one seemed to have noticed how MOANA was more affectionate and grateful to see her step mother in comparison to SARAH'S behavior. Good for you Moana. Maybe that's why Whitney chose you over Sarah. The little must have sensed your compassionate character. Furthermore, I didn't recall Moana saying disgusting comments about the other girls behind their backs.

Public Opinion said:

Travis, call Moana ... don't be humiliated. She froze because of the awkwardness of the situation and the pressure. You know she was crazy about you and vice versa. Don't let this go. it's not too late. But don't wait too long!!!!

Susannah said:

I believe that Sarah is the one for Travis. I think it is really rude how some people juge her clothes! It doesn't matter what you think he should be with, it's about who makes him the happiest. Sarah is a down right honest girl, and so is Travis. They are perfect together. I wish you too the best!

rememberer said:

I miss "Who Wants to Marry a Millionare".

kim said:

i believe moana felt completely used because she thought travis and her connected

reagan said:

... and it's over! Travis & Sarah are done.

Ugh, I think I'm going to kill my TV. What a waste this stuff is...
