LAST EDITED ON 07-09-02 AT 01:26 PM (EST)Well, I hope Jonnycumlately comes back to wrap this show up. In the meantime, I can't leave the three of us who have been following this show hanging ...
In the final episode, "Heave Ho", the hos have to dump one of their Men on Ice ... and then wait to see if their other Man on Ice wants to dump them.
First pick goes to the women. Karen (who?) picks Kurt. Cecile picks Will. Andrea picks Kristian. Surprise (not). Rebekah picks Jason. Sissie picks Brent. In other words, they all pick their first person. Tim 1 gets to leave Cecile's sight, finally, since he didn't want to talk about her and she didn't want to talk about him.
The last date. Cecile spends her whole night talking about Tim 1. Will is thrilled. Rebekah kisses Jason and fantasizes that he might actually be interested in her. Andrea does a lot more than that with Kristian, as usual. Kurt and Karen look like they are on a business trip together, with about as much electricity as your average brownout. And Brent and Sissie spoon, as usual.
Last day. The women get dressed in wedding gowns and wait for a plane to land. If their guy is on the plane, they get to stay and potentially get married. If not, they leave at once, and the others laugh cruelly at them.
Karen first. Da plane, da plane! But no Kurt. She gets a videotape of Kurt saying he's not ready to make any commitments. Adios, Karen. Nice traveling clothes.
Andrea next. She looks shocked when Kristian IS on the plane. He says he's not ready to get married, but he would like them to keep working to make something stronger out of their relationship. In other words, "keep my bed warm for now, babe." That's good enough for Andrea. They leave together. Hooray.
Rebekah. Does Jason want her? No way. She looks mad enough to kill. Appropriate, since, if she stayed in Alaska, she would probably end up as roadkill. Toodle-oo, Becki, have fun while people taunt you about being rejected by some of the most desperate men that TV could find.
Cecile. She doesn't expect Will to show, and he doesn't. BUT, in the surprise of the show, on the plane is Tim 1! He asks Cecile for a second chance, away from the cameras. She looks like Cinderella at the ball with the prince. Can anyone say "happy ending"?
Oh, wait, we're not quite at the end, because the producers saved Sissie for last. Does Brent show? Does it snow in Alaska during the winter? He expresses his desire to meet her family and for her to meet his family ... and ends it by saying that if all goes well with the family visits, then he wants to get married. To her, even. We see them embrace...
And so, the final tally: two booted hos (Karen and Rebekah), two happy hos (Cecile and Sissie), one continuing ho (Andrea). Everyone is happy, except for Rebekah -- and her unhappiness made US happy. Adios (until Jonny comes along with the official E6 summary).
UPDATED to include "life after the show" for the final couples, per CSHS79 (see, and I thought the show was over):
1. Karen & Kurt: no further contact
2. Rebekah & Jason: no further contact
3. Andrea & Kristain: long-distance relationship (meaning that she can warm his bed whenever she's in town, I guess)
4. Cecile & Tim: split after a visit to California (can't live with 'em; can't live without 'em...)
5. Sissie & Brent: preparing for marriage
