Mark my words--It's going to be Shayne. Without a doubt. Here's why:

1. She is fun and active and adventurous
2. She makes him laugh
3. He genuinely enjoyed spending time with her mom and sister and didn't want it to end
4. She is completely un-self-conscious about her goofiness, as is he
5. She's much smarter than she looks, and the combination of the light airiness, with the ambition, with the surprising intellectual depth is an irresistable, enigmatic draw for him.
6. As a third-generation actress, she has a certain comfort with the fast-lane, which makes her more comfortable in his world of high-finance

Chelsea is fun, but she's tomboyish and doesn't capture his imagination the way Shayne does.

We'll all find out tonight!

I have been for Amanda since day one. I am still hoping all is just a prank and she will be the final one standing. However going by the tv and if at this point all it true, then I would have to say Shayne. Even though I think she isn't mature enough at her age, and is to much of a high maintence person. She is still fun to watch.

I am sure it's Chelsea because in the finale episode clip. They show each woman holding Matt's hand in the garden..Matt is to the right when he proposes AND that is with Chelsea not Shayne!!!!
Initially I thought it was the nail polish but someone mentioned here before they do match their nail polish. They both have the same color.
Chelsea is independent and that is a good match for Matt also Shayne is too high maintenance for him. As far as Chelsea, I think It's normal to be a little emotional if the guy you're falling for is spending fancy over night dates with another beautiful woman.

I was for Amanda and now am for Shayne, but all of his interviews about wanting someone different who stands out, makes me wonder if it might be Chelsea.

She went off on her own in the pool after the rugby date, while all other ladies gathered around Matt in the hot tub...IMO she has issues, issues with women and issues with men-period. But is that how Matt sees it?

It can also be said that Shayne is different and she stands out because she most certainly does. Nobody watching can deny that fact. I just don't know what type of "different, stand out" he eludes to.

Either one are different and stand out. Shayne is the more safe choice, but Chelsea seems to be the challenge....if he goes for the challenge, he will be in it until he can take no more of her unavailability of emotions, affection, sharing.....if he goes for Shayne, anything is possible with that union IMO.

There was sooo much less connection with Amanda than with Shayne or Chelsea. If you WATCHED the show, it was OBVIOUS, therefore, no, I'm NOT surprised.

Amanda, Noelle, Shayne and Chelsea are all LOVELY women, so Matt couldn't go wrong, once he got down to those four.

Now, had he been foolish enough to keep a few others, I would NOT be saying the same. But as is, he's a lucky man, whichever woman he chooses.

Amanda is lovely, and will still fair well because of the show - even if she does think Matt's a douche bag! LOL! :)

I think it was a tease experience for Amanda. He wasn't honest and led her on. That is MEAN/hurtful and not respectful. I think she's better off without him. She deserves better and will get better now that she's available! She should feel free and do what she loves and be open to love.

I think Stryker and Amanda do look like a great couple! Time will tell. ????? Ellen is a great matchmaker! and you should listen to her! I hope Amanda agreed with Ellen and went out with you.. but if not.. no hurt feelings right!... theirs someone out there for you Stryker!!! Never give up!!!

Please post the video of the interview with Amanda!

Like Ellen I've thought all along it was going to be Shane but I'm very observant..lol! I also believe its now Chelsea because of the nails...not just the polish but if you look closely you can see the grooves in her thumb match!! Yes, I'm an obsessed watcher also..haha!

Amanda would've been the girl..but you can never teach matt's heart if he never had enough feelings for AMANDA.

but they could make such a cute couple...My vote still goes for Amanda...

Dear Ellen,

I missed the interview with Amanda and was wondering if you could please post a clip. I had been waiting all day for it and then missed the first 30 minutes by error. Thank you.

Just wanted to make a comment about the nail polish comment dont go by that cause they make them wear the same to fool you that happend to me last season! Its a trick :)

Hi Ellen....I LIKE agree with Cindy above, if she said LIKE one more time on their date I was going to throw the TV out the window!!!!

Hey Ellen,

Of course it's Chelsea! I think it has been her all along and that it's down to Shayne and Chelsea purposely.

1) Chelsea can and will have total confidence in their relationship and NEVER be jealous of the uber-sexy women that might give Matt attention. After all, he could have chosen the ultimate sex kitten -and chose her instead!

2) Look at how much HE is working to get HER attention. Shayne has all but offered herself to him on a silver platter. Chelsea is the only one that he sincerely wants to be into HIM. I think once the competition is over she'll be able to let go more.

3) He as much said so in this week's episode. He said something to the effect that "I've probably said too much already". Also, in his commentary on their date, he was so genuine and obviously affected by her hestiations. I don't think it's her playing "hard to get" either.

Amanda would've been my pick for him, but it is his choice and he's already made it!

Thanks for obsessing along with us, Ellen!

Hi Ellen-

HE is going to pick Chelsea-not our choice- we watched the previews..and it shows her putting on her shoe-then a preview comes on with Matt holding "her" hand-- it is teh same nail polish-it's Chelsea. My daughter and I are so bummed-it should have been Amanda! although we figured he would choose Shayne-

Hello Ellen;;;I so love you and your show. While I was out for 3 weeks from work on disability, I got to watch your show for 3 weeks straight everyday..I so enjoy watching you.

I think the week of April 14th, you did a segment on the bachelorette show when 2 gals were arguing, I love when you imitated one of the gals with the hand gesture of" dont wak away from me"....I really need to see that clip again....

Please....loyal and devoted fan!

Like no I wasn't surprised at like Amanda didn't like get a rose and like I don't like think like Matt like unfairly like led Amanda like on. How annoying is that to hear "LIKE" every other LIKE word? Who can listen to that all day much less for more than 15 minutes a week? LIKE, I couldn't stand it.
