Becca's journey to find love on television is about to come to an end, with the finale airing through a three-hour event on Monday, August 6.
The 28-year-old publicist from Minnesota has narrowed down her search to only Blake, a 28-year-old sales representative from Bailey, CO, and Garrett Yrigoyen, a 29-year-old medical sales representative from Reno, NV -- and now The Bachelorette star must choose between them.
Becca is "in love" with both Garrett and Blake, although she has yet to tell either man about how she feels. With Garrett, they have fun and there's a strong physical chemistry, but her relationship with Blake seems to be the whole package given he challenges her mentally and emotionally as well.
Could Blake be the man The Bachelorette star has been searching for all this time? Could he be The One?
