Jasmine Lorimer from Kenora, Ontario, shocked many followers at the final episode for the season of “The Bachelorette Canada.” It is because she picked Kevin Wendt and not Mikhel Sickland to be the winner in her heart. After 27-year-old Jasmine Lorimer expressed her love for Kevin Wendt and gave the handsome firefighter her final rose, he then knelt on one knee and proposed marriage.
A number of followers of “The Bachelorette Canada” disagreed with Jasmine Lorimer by posting on social media sites of their disappointment with her pick. Toronto Sun notes that Mikhel Sickland, a 28-year-old aviation engineer, was a fan favorite.
Feelings for Mikhel Sickland
It did not help that Jasmine Lorimer had admitted also having feelings for Mikhel Sickland. At the finale of “The Bachelorette Canada,” she admitted that the spurned suitor was one of the best people she ever met. However, Jasmine Lorimer explained to Mikhel Sickland that she had developed a stronger relationship with another suitor.
Hello Magazine credited Jasmine Lorimer with handling the situation well. Because unlike most of the final episodes of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette,” the contestants propose first before the rejection or acceptance is made. Sharlene Joynt, a FLARE columnist and observer of “The Bachelorette Canada,” pointed out that Jasmine Lorimer failed to keep a poker face long enough to hide her feelings about Kevin Wendt even before the aviation engineer could make his proposal.
Cancelled Press Tour
The “After the Final Rose” episode of “The Bachelorette Canada” showed the new couple pondering on their future and excited as they begin their lives as a couple. The turn of events – preceded by Kevin Wendt showing up at the Cuban beach at sunset and asking for the hand of Jasmine Lorimer, who was wearing a floor-length white gown, in marriage – resulted in Jasmine Lorimer and the spurned suitor and fan favorite Mikhel Sickland cancelling their scheduled entire press tour.
