I'm not usually a fan of the "After the Final Rose" segment, but honestly, last night's was even better than the actual Bachelor finale. Emmanuel Acho asked the hard questions, and Matt James took his time to answer them. (All I can say is, thank god Chris Harrison wasn't the one asking those questions...which you can hear more about on BuzzFeed Daily's episode where we break down "AFTR.")
BUT MOVING ON, in honor of the final episode of the season, here are some of the best tweets of the night that truly capture everything that happened:
1.
forcing myself to finish this season because I’ve already come this gd far #TheBachelor
2.
Matt’s Brother truly is all of us these past 6 weeks #TheBachelor
3.
Is it me or does Matt’s brother seem like his alter ego or something #TheBachelor

Matt: I’m not ready to get engaged. Bachelor Nation: THEN WHY DID YOU SIGN UP TO BE THE BACHELOR?!?! #TheBachelor

23.
All this drama just so he could ask her to be his girlfriend... #TheBachelor
24.
Imagine being the first black bachelor and choosing the one white woman with a history of racism out of a group of 32 women? #TheBachelor
25.
Bachelor Nation after hearing that Matt wouldn’t give Michelle closure #TheBachelor
26.
When Michelle told him he needs better phrases than thanks for sharing #TheBachelor
27.
“I hope you kiss with your eyes closed and come up with some other phrases than ‘thank you for sharing” #TheBachelor #afterthefinalrose
28.
Matt breaking Michelle roasting Michelle’s heart him at ATFR #TheBachelor
29.
This is the biggest “THIS YOU” I ever seen 😂 #thebachelor
30.
Holy shit Emmanuel is so straightforward. Emmanuel: let’s acknowledge the elephant in the room. Chris: wow, Rachael, it’s been such a crazy year, such a crazy season. It’s been wild. So crazy. Unlike anything in bachelor history. It’s so crazy- #TheBachelor
31.
History is meant to be remembered but not all history is meant to be celebrated." Thank you @EmmanuelAcho for attacking the racism of #TheBachelor
32.
the royal family should have a sit down talk with @EmmanuelAcho #TheBachelor
33.
Chris Harrison at home reading all the love for Emmanuel Acho #TheBachelor
34.
Matt CALLED her to end things!!! #TheBachelor
35.
Rachael when asked what concrete steps she’s taking to educate herself #TheBachelor
36.
“I can list all the documentaries, movies and things I’ve listened to...” List them then Rachael. #TheBachelor
37.
emmanuel: ready to see matt? rachel: no emmanuel: sucks to suck, matt, come on out #TheBachelor #ATFR
38.
this man really has nothing to say to her...the SILENCE IS LOUD #TheBachelor
39.
Emmanuel, Matt, and Rachael this entire interview: #TheBachelor #ATFR
40.
Everyone waiting for Matt to say something like.... #TheBachelor
41.
Is Matt silenT or was he silenCED #TheBachelor
42.
This franchise better pay for the therapy after causing so match trauma to this man. #TheBachelor
43.
HE HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HER WHY IT WAS PROBLEMATIC????!?!? DEAR GOD #TheBachelor #TheBachelorABC
44.
Even if the actions were from 3 years ago, he still had to explain to her why they were wrong THIS year. That’s the problem. #TheBachelor
45.
you know who would understand that going to an Antebellum party is wrong? Michelle. #TheBachelor
46.
Matt saying he doesn’t think Rachel knows what it means to be black in America... no shit ? #TheBachelor
47.
Matt was expecting a white woman to understand his blackness and the blackness of his future children??? #TheBachelor
48.
“i don’t wanna be emotionally responsible for those tears” okay go off matt #TheBachelor
49.
I'm glad Matt isn't getting swayed by the tears. He's refusing to do her emotional labor. White people must understand how Black people always end up in this position, and do the work of learning on their own, not at the expense of a Black person they "care" about. #TheBachelor
50.
“Rachel you may never see this man again...” #TheBachelor
51.
Emmanuel: Would you like to share a final embrace? Matt: #TheBachelor
52.
“if you want one final embrace” matt: #TheBachelor
53.
If you’re one of the people upset that #TheBachelor is taking the time on Final Rose to discuss racism & how this season went down - you are likely the person who needs to be watching it the most.
54.
Lets put the producers in the hot seat next because THEY have a lot to answer for too #TheBachelor
55.
KATIE AND MICHELLE!!! KATIE AND MICHELLE!!!??? THESE THREE HOURSE WERE WORTH IT OMG YAYYYYYYY #Bachelor #TheBachelorFinale #TheBachelor
56.
THE HAPPY ENDING WE DESERVED👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #TheBachelor
57.
Me : I’m over this franchise Producer : Katie & Michelle are your new bachelorettes Me : I’ll be watching #TheBachelor
58.
Matt’s season was so bad they literally had to make two bachelorette seasons #TheBachelor
59.
