It's a huge night for fans of the ABC reality show "The Bachelor." Tonight is the night that the bachelor, Nick Viall, will possibly get down on one knee and propose. The finale episode will see Viall go on final dates in Rovaniemi, Finland with his remaining two women.
Only two remain
36-year-old Viall started off season 21 of "The Bachelor" with 30 women vying for his love and attention. The show began airing on January 2, and after months of dating, drama and roses, Viall has narrowed his 30 women down to two women. The two women who are hoping for that final roles are Vanessa Grimaldi and Raven Gates.
One of the remaining two women is 29-year-old Canadian Vanessa Grimaldi, who is a special education teacher. Grimaldi seems to truly enjoy her job and even brought Viall to meet her students on her hometown date. Grimaldi talks often of her family, and during her hometown visit, you could see how close she was to her loved ones.
Raven Gates is the other woman who made it to the final two on this season of "The Bachelor." Gates is a 25-year-old boutique clothing store owner from Arkansas. She opened up her shop, Grey Suede, a little over one year ago after she quit Law School. Gates and Viall hit it off from the very beginning of the show, and many fans think she is the woman that Viall will propose to.
Fourth time's the charm?
Nick Viall is no stranger to "The Bachelor" franchise. He appeared twice on "The Bachelorette" and once on "Bachelor in Paradise." On season 10 of "The Bachelorette," Viall was ready to propose to Andi Dorfman until she broke it off with him and chose Josh Murray. Then in season 11 of the show, Viall was again ready to pop the question, this time to Kaitlyn Bristowe.
Viall even had the ring out of pocket before Bristowe told him that he wasn't the one for her.
When season 3 of "Bachelor in Paradise" began airing in August of last year, fans were surprised to see Viall back at it again. He didn't find lasting love in paradise, but he did get cast as the starring role on season 21 of "The Bachelor." And tonight, we get to see if he finally found a woman to love who will love him back.
