I like her and think she is a nice person, but I also think she is quite inteligent, too. Inteligent enough to realize how badly she has been set up by the producers, as well as how to gracefully wade through the minefield that she has been placed in. She knows that if she ends up with a himbo, she'll be portrayed as shallow and vapid, so she plays the game and picks a Joe in the end.
This way, she comes off to America as a good-hearted girl who saw the prince in the frog, and her reputation is saved.
Two days after arriving back home, it's back to business as usual, and she writes off the whole adventure as a life experience. And I don't mean that as a knock against her. It's just that I don't see any of the Joes having what it takes to be her man for the long haul.
