Raven Just Said The Best Thing On 'The Bachelor'

Unfortunately, Raven was sent packing on tonight's finale episode of The Bachelor. Nick was particularly cagey throughout their final moments and after allowing Raven to give a lengthy speech about her feelings for him, he dropped the "I'm not in love with you" line through tears in his eyes. Luckily, Raven definitely managed to get the last laugh because after he smiled and said, "I'm going to miss you," she replied with a stone cold expression, "I know." Basically, Raven dropped the most powerful Bachelor exit line we have ever seen from a contestant and it was amazing.

Honestly, who else stood up and cheered for Raven in that moment? I know I did and I am pretty sure this quiet moment didn't go completely unnoticed by the rest of Bachelor Nation either. After Nick gave that cliched breakup line, girlfriend was just not going to give him the satisfaction of an emotional reaction. She wasn't mean and she wasn't overly-dramatic at all. She was just strong. Raven simply acknowledged that yeah, Nick would certainly be missing her. She may have even been giving a subtle nod to the idea that he could have possibly have chosen the wrong woman.

Personally, I am just glad to see that one of the biggest moments to come from this heartbreaking moment was a powerful move by Raven to assert her strength under duress. You go, girl. See you in Paradise.
