  • Peter Weber is taking Bachelor fans for the ride of their lives in what is shaping up

  • to be one of the most dramatic seasons in Bachelor franchise history, but how does it

  • end?

  • Here's everything we know about Peter Weber's Bachelor finale.

  • Caution: Spoilers and potential spoilers ahead.

  • Before he was the Bachelor, Peter Weber was just a pilot competing on Hannah Brown's season

  • of The Bachelorette and many fans believed Weber would be the one to fly away with the

  • former beauty queen's heart.

  • However, after their now-famous fantasy suite date in a windmill, Hannah B. sent Weber packing.

  • But, when Weber's Bachelor season started off with Weber still struggling with his feelings

  • for Brown, some viewers continued to hope the Bachelor and former Bachelorette would

  • end up together when all was said and done.

  • Unfortunately for fans of Weber and Brown's relationship, longtime Bachelor blogger Steve

  • Carbone put an end to those rumors early in Weber's season.

  • In a January 9, 2020 post on his Reality Steve blog, Carbone wrote,

  • "All I can tell you and officially confirm today is that ... [Hannah Brown] has nothing

  • to do with the rest of Peter's season, [she] doesn't show up at the finale, they're not

  • secretly dating, nothing.

  • Sorry, Peter and Hannah Brown fans.

  • No dice."

  • At the end of the day, Peter Weber's long, dramatic Bachelor journey is ultimately about

  • finding the one person with whom he can picture his happily ever after.

  • It's all about who he wants to spend his life with.

  • However, as evidenced by season previews, Weber's decision will certainly affect more

  • people than just the Bachelor himself.

  • In one particularly buzz-worthy season promo, Weber's mother, Barbara Weber, can be seen

  • giving the struggling Bachelor her two cents.

  • Sobbing, the Weber matriarch tells her son,

  • "Don't let her go.

  • Don't let her go.

  • That's what love stories are made out of."

  • Weber's mother continues pleading with the visibly confused Bachelor, telling him to,

  • quote, bring her home."

  • Considering Weber's mom met Madison Prewett during the first one-on-one date of Weber's

  • Bachelor season, some fans assumed she was the contestant the Bachelor's mom wanted him

  • to, quote, "bring home" with him.

  • Unfortunately for Kelsey Weier and Victoria Fuller, their respective relationships with

  • Weber apparently weren't strong enough to last until the pilot's Bachelor season finale.

  • Weber gave Weier the boot at the rose ceremony following his hometown dates with the women,

  • and Fuller was eliminated after sharing a fantasy suite date with Weber.

  • Dispelling rumors about Fuller ultimately becoming Weber's final pick, Steve Carbone

  • revealed on his Reality Steve blog,

  • "I know she was the last of the women to turn her [Instagram] back to public [after filming],

  • but trust me, that didn't mean anything.

  • She has nothing to do with the finale."

  • Spoilers and rumors are swirling everywhere, but can any of them be trusted?

  • In a January 2020 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Weber said,

  • "I'm very confident that no one is going to be able to spoil [my season].

  • There's a reason I believe that, and obviously can't say it otherwise it gives it away.

  • I'm very confident that Reality Steve and all of these people, they're not going to

  • find out what happens there's no way they're going to find out."

  • While Reality Steve's Steve Carbone may not have been able to report with 100 percent

  • confidence the woman Weber chose, the blogger did reveal who he thinks is the Bachelor's

  • final pick.

  • Carbone wrote in a February 11, 2020 post on his blog:

  • "I have heard from numerous sources 'Madison is with Peter.

  • They are dating but not engaged.'

  • [...] I'm telling you that that's what people have told me, but I haven't had the solid

  • confirmation I need to 100% believe it."

  • Despite his near-perfect track record of spoiling The Bachelor and Bachelorette, Peter Weber's

  • season of The Bachelor proved to be a puzzling one for Reality Steve.

  • On November 26, 2019, Carbone tweeted,

  • "I know you all want to know who won The Bachelor.

  • I don't have the solid confirmation on that yet that I need.

  • I'm not just gonna run with something I'm not sold on.

  • [I've been] hearing A LOT of things.

  • When I do have confirmation, you will know.

  • Please be patient."

  • On February 22, 2020, Carbone still had not reached a definitive conclusion on exactly

  • how Weber's season finale would play out.

  • However, the blogger did take to Twitter to say he'd soon be revealing his thoughts regarding

  • Weber's highly-anticipated decision.

  • During the February 17, 2020 episode of Peter Weber's Bachelor season, viewers watched as

  • Madison Prewett approached Weber after the rose ceremony, presumably to tell the Bachelor

  • about her decision to save herself for marriage.

  • While Prewett seemingly wanted Weber to know her stance on pre-marital sex before the fantasy

  • suite dates, Steve Carbone revealed that Prewett's revelation reportedly didn't stop Weber from

  • being intimate with the other women behind closed doors.

  • Despite previously reporting that Hannah Ann Sluss and Victoria Fuller told Prewett they'd

  • both been intimate with Weber, Carbone revealed on February 22, 2020 that Weber was actually

  • the one to break the uncomfortable news to Prewett.

  • Writing that viewers would witness Prewett gently prod Weber about his overnight dates

  • with Sluss and Fuller on the February 24, 2020 episode of The Bachelor, Carbone tweeted,

  • "Peter then admits he doesn't want to give details, but he has been intimate with the

  • other women.

  • This is hard on Madison and she gets up from the table."

  • On February 11, 2020, Steve Carbone took to Twitter to post pictures of frontrunner contestant

  • Madison Prewett out and about with a camera crew at Town Creek Park in Auburn, Alabama

  • prompting speculation from his followers about Peter Weber's final decision.

  • One of Carbone's followers tweeted in response to the photos:

  • "I hope she's the final one, but if she's not, I hope this is for [The] Bachelorette."

  • In a February 12, 2020 blog post, Carbone revealed that he didn't know exactly why Prewett

  • was being followed by a camera crew.

  • However, according to the blogger, the Alabama native had not been chosen to be the next

  • Bachelorette and, even if she had been chosen, she wouldn't have been filming her Bachelorette

  • intro package as some fans had theorized.

  • Carbone revealed:

  • "The Bachelorette announcement isn't for another month.

  • They don't film Bachelorette intro packages a month in advance.

  • [The camera crew has] nothing to do with that.

  • Plus, I don't believe there's any way Madison will be [the] Bachelorette even if she isn't

  • with Peter."

  • Bachelor fans desperate for behind-the-scenes info and clues regarding Peter Weber's season

  • finale were seemingly served a silver platter of hot gossip from a source confirmed by Reddit

  • moderators to be a relative of a Bachelor producer on February 11, 2020.

  • According to the anonymous Reddit user, Bachelor producers worked overtime throughout Weber's

  • season to make sure his final decision wouldn't be spoiled before it was officially revealed.

  • The source wrote on the website:

  • "Producers are REALLY going the extra mile to make sure this season is unspoiled.

  • They are having contestants do a lot of random stuff on social media to throw people off

  • (using certain captions, liking certain pictures, posting at a specific time)."

  • The source also claimed that Weber's behavior and decisions during filming negatively impacted

  • his relationship with the woman he ultimately chose.

  • The Reddit user went on to say:

  • "Peter and [the final pick] are very rocky right now based on how they ended up together,

  • and based on his interactions with the other women that she is now seeing for the first

  • time as they air."

  • While the frontrunners in many previous installments of The Bachelor and Bachelorette were made

  • obvious early on in their respective seasons, early episodes of Peter Weber's Bachelor season

  • were largely overtaken by drama that unfolded between the contestants competing for the

  • pilot's heart.

  • However, while tears and petty fights may have blocked fans from getting a clear view

  • of an obvious favorite for Weber's heart, the Bachelor told Entertainment Tonight that

  • he settled on his frontrunner early during filming, and that he never once changed his

  • opinion after he'd made up his mind.

  • He said,

  • "I promise you my frontrunner did not stop changing until about week four [...] the show

  • does a really good job of entertaining.

  • But I promise you my frontrunner did not change, and I'll leave it at that."

  • In promos for Peter Weber's Bachelor season finale, host Chris Harrison is seen approaching

  • the Bachelor as he stands alone in the Australian outback, seemingly holding a sparkling diamond

  • engagement ring in his hands.

  • It promises a tense moment, especially when Harrison reveals that something new just came

  • to light something that nobody saw coming.

  • During a January 2020 interview with Glamour, Weber revealed the much-teased, highly-anticipated

  • final rose ceremony moment with Harrison was, in fact, just as dramatic as the promos made

  • it seem like it would be.

  • Weber explained:

  • "There's nothing about that moment being overproduced at all, and I keep telling people that last

  • week was the hardest week of my life, and it didn't stop until the very end."

  • Between the dramatic promos teasing a not-so-happy ending for Peter Weber's Bachelor season and

  • the never-ending mystery surrounding the identity of the woman with whom Weber ultimately found

  • love if he even found love at all many Bachelor fans speculated his season would actually

  • result in Weber being the same person he was when he started his Bachelor journey: a single,

  • lovelorn pilot.

  • But, according to Weber himself, he couldn't be happier with the way his time on The Bachelor

  • played out.

  • In a January 2020 interview with Glamour, Weber refused to confirm whether or not he

  • was engaged to his final pick.

  • However, the pilot did seem to drop hints that he'd found the love and happiness for

  • which he'd been searching.

  • He said:

  • "I can say I'm happy.

  • I couldn't have expected it to work the way it did, but I'm happy with where I'm at right

  • now."

  • Despite being famous for providing definitive Bachelor spoilers often before the seasons

  • even premiere, Steve Carbone was unable to effectively spoil Peter Weber's Bachelor season

  • finale in his usual fashion.

  • However, Carbone did provide detailed spoilers regarding each of Weber's rose ceremonies

  • aside from his final rose ceremony and the blogger was also quick to reveal the pilot's

  • final two women: Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett.

  • While many fans of the show took it upon themselves to generate their own theories about Weber's

  • season finale including a particularly outlandish theory involving a rumored romance between

  • Weber and Bachelor producer Julie LaPlaca Carbone remained firm in his stance that Weber's

  • season finale involved only Sluss and Prewett.

  • As hardcore Bachelor fans likely know, franchise host Chris Harrison has been dating Entertainment

  • Tonight reporter, Lauren Zima, since 2018.

  • Considering Zima hosts her very own Bachelor recap show, Roses and Rosé, it's safe to

  • say the reporter is a pretty big fan of the Bachelor franchise.

  • "I mean this girl is watching the Bachelor!"

  • So, it's only natural to think Zima would pry her Bachelor host beau for behind-the-scenes

  • show secrets, like any Bachelor Nation diehard would, right?

  • While live-tweeting the February 24, 2020 episode of The Bachelor, Zima seemed to accidentally

  • confirm that she's privy to insider Bachelor knowledge not available to your average Bachelor

  • fan.

  • After watching Peter Weber's romantic fantasy suite date with Hannah Ann Sluss and hearing

  • the sweet words Weber had to say about the contestant, Zima tweeted,

  • "HOW DOES HE NOT PICK HANNAH ANN THEN?!"

  • The Entertainment Tonight reporter was quick to delete the tweet, but not before a fast-acting

  • fan took a screenshot and posted the proof to Reddit.

  • Did Zima really accidentally slip up and reveal that she knows how it all ends?

  • We'll have to wait and see.
