The Bachelor

T06:C09 - S06:E09 - Finale

For the first time on "The Bachelor," the parents of the prospective brides and of the groom visit the bachelor pad and meet one another. Will Byron's parents influence his decision? Mary is hesitant about introducing Byron to her parents, and she makes a difficult decision about exposing them--for a second time--to her potential heartbreak. Believing that the way to a man's heart is through his mother, Mary talks to Byron's mom and makes an impassioned speech about her strong feelings for Byron. Meanwhile, Tanya's mother is skeptical about the nine year age difference between Byron and her daughter as well as the fact that they have only known each other a short while. At the same time, Byron's parents are impressed by Tanya's confidence and feel she is a good match for him. Later, Byron invites each woman to visit his home on Lake Mead in Nevada. First, he introduces both Mary and Tanya to his closest friends, who question both women on everything from their family backgrounds to their true intentions with Byron. Afterwards, Byron embarks on two last-chance dates with each woman, during which he shares intimate and emotional moments before making the biggest decision of his life. In this two-hour conclusion, Byron offers his final rose and delivers the most heartfelt proposal ever. Whom will he choose? And will she accept?
