Tessa looks noting like Lokelani. Tessa is much prettier in my opinion. They make a great couple and I am sure that their committment to one another will last a lifetime. Way to go Andy.

Tessa is just careful. All the other women told Andy right away that they love him ! Yeah, right.Andy wants to have children with Tessa, He joked with the audience that Tessa was pregnant. Wishful and Hopeful feelings. They'll have beautiful Asian children.Andy couldn't be bought with that gift of Bevin's . The collage that Tessa made pulled at his heart 3. Especially Tessa finally confessing her true feelings for Andy.

First,Lokelani McMichael and Tessa doesn't look a like. That just type of the ladies Andy likes. I think it is great if Tessa can replace her. Second, Andy often commented in the show that Tessa made him laugh. That makes great relationship. Third, some people like Tessa just don't say " I love you" easily, but once they say it, they mean it, not just a routine.

Tessa is SLOW
Andy will have to make accomodations for Tessa and spend energy motivating Tessa to do what he wants
Andy chose Tessa because she looks like Lokelani McMichael his former live in girlfriend (askmen.com) Andy made a error telling Bevin he loves her...that was emotionally incorrect
Bevin should have asked Andy directly Can you see yourself having children with me?

I am soooo happy that Andy chose Tessa. She is so beautiful, graceful, and most importantly, SMART! They look great together. Bevin looks fake and tries too hard to win.

WELL, WELL, WELL! IT ALL MAKES A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE WHY ANDY PICKED TESSA!

AND THEY LIVED TOGETHER IN HI.....SO HE JUST REPLACED LOKELANI FOR A LOOK-A-LIKE AND THAT WAS TESSA!!!! HONESTLY LOKELANI IS MUCH MORE FIT AND HIS TYPE ...TAKE A LOOK

Who ever said that Tessa is UGLY are those people who never be with Asian. Tessa is half Asian. Fifteen years down the road, she will still look same, beautiful brown eyes, smooth skin with no wrinkles. Yes, I am Asian. 44 year old lady who has 25 year old body and never need to shave my legs once in my life. I know that Andy and Tessa's children will be so beautiful.

How could you people be so rude. Im sure your the ugly ones sitting on your butts with no lifes commenting and making fun of someone who is as beautiful and charming as Tessa. She has such natural beauty, great personality, loving and honest, unlike Bevin who cries everytime something doesn't go "her" way, looks like she could be 45 years old, and way to head over heals with somebody after one date. Andy made a great choice!!!!

Congrats to Andy & Tessa! I'll admit that I really don't like watching a show like this, but I was curious to see who Andy would end up with. I only watched the last 4 ladies.I was sure that he would pick Bevin. I was hoping that Tessa would win his heart. Andy's family really liked Tessa.Tessa had self-respect not to act like a *** in front of his family.Bevin seemed so fake! She got what she deserved ! Tessa was more compatible with Andy - she'll fit right in living in Hawaii as a Naval wife.As for all the Tessa haters- Bevin looks all sucked in like she's on crack !She looks like a freakin flamingo with the long beak and toothpick legs. That's why she broke her leg. Ha Ha Joke. :)

You people are so mean!! Tessa is not ugly. She is quite pretty if you could just see her through your green, jealous eyes! She is not a weak person for being CAREFUL with her heart. Bevin was to quick to jump into a relationship and through her heart down for someone that she barely knew. I liked Bevin, but she was just to out there! Tessa was careful and realistic. And in the end, she won! Andy said that he had to fight for her and that is the way it should have been. Bevin was to easy of a catch. Some of you are just plain cruel.

OMG Wake up people! Bevin was a winny bi... I am very happy with Andy's choice of Tessa. She is beautiful and if you watched the show at all you would have seen that when he was with Tessa he had fun! Bevin was all caught up in talks and being honest yeah right. She would have never made it in Andy's world. I can see Tessa as a strong wife ready to deal with the demands of an army wife not falling apart every time Andy has to go on an assignment. I also see her as being a great hostess and fitting in well with the other military wives. You all need to give Tessa a break!

I AM SORRY FOR ANOTHER COMMENT BUT IT LIMITS YOU.

I LAUGH AT YOU PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT A MARRIAGE IS MORE THEN PHYSCIAL ATTRACTION. WHEN I MET MY HUSBAND 14YRS AGO WE WERE JUST LIKE ANDY AND BEVIN. SMILES, HUGS AND KISSES ALL THE TIME. WE HAD AND STILL HAVE THE ELECTRICITY FROM THE DAY WE MET. AND ANDY AND BEVIN HAVE THAT STILL!!! YOU COULD SEE IT ON THE SHOW LAST NIGHT! HE KISSES TESSA LIKE HE WOULD GIVE HIS SISTER A KISS GOODBYE (FIGURE OF SPEECH) %u2013 UNLIKE THE KISSES HE AND BEVIN SHARED

IT WILL NOT LAST!!!!

BEVIN IS THE ONE THAT IS DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH ANDY NOT TESSA!!!! WAKE UP PEOPLE! DID YOU WATCH THE SHOW??? AND YES, I AM SORRY BUT MUST AGREE WITH THE PERSON THAT SAID TESSA IS NOT PRETTY!

WHEN THEY KISSED IT WAS NOT A HEARTFELT KISS OR ROMANTIC EMBRACE LIKE WHEN HE AND BEVIN WERE TOGETHER.

Someone made a comment about a strong, independent, yada, yada, yada woman and it was Tessa. Well, Bevin was all that and more! Just b/c Bevin had a tattoo does not make her a bad person! I don%u2019t believe she had a checkered past. Don%u2019t tell me that none of you out there have had a past. We all have a past, which is what brings us to the present and future. Just because of the type of work Bevin does is not a reason not to pick her? Hell NO! We all have to pay our bills. Bevin would not have made it as far as she did if he didn%u2019t have feelings for her. He had a spark in his eyes every time he saw Bevin; he only had doubts with Tessa from the start. As far as drama, Tessa did a lot of drama herself. She played up to Andy about wanting to leave the show so many times. She played the game and played Andy as well! As far as Andy, well he showed a shallow side by confessing his love to both of them at the end. He played both women! You don%u2019t tell both that you are in %u201Cfreaking in love%u201D with them! That was just a bad judgment call for him. Well, now the chase is over %u2013 now what does he have? The excitement of the %u201CTessa chase%u201D is over. Down to reality, and I don%u2019t think she will be able to handle it!
Honestly, I don%u2019t see them going to the altar %u2013 he still is in love with Bevin and b/c of that Tessa and Andy won%u2019t last long even if married! That is ones opinion from Arizona!

I am so happy with Baldwins decision. I truely believe that they were met for each other. I love that she waited to tell him how she felt, unlike the other girls who fell in love with him within a week! She may not be as pretty as Bevin, but im sure that her adventorous yet down to earth personality was what won him over.

Andy, you have very bad taste in women. Tessa has got to be one of the ugliest women I've ever seen on the Bachelor (the other one was that icky and crazy female doctor from Florida who was obsessed about her fertility). Tessa looks like a cartoon character, a chubby turtle girl. Yes, she is Turtle Girl. Maybe she escaped from a Ninja Turtles episode. If they go through with this thing, their children will be so hideous, little turtle-faced creatures. Andy, wake up. Go get Bevin back! She was beautiful, smart and elegant. You would make beautiful babies, not turtle babies!

Tessa is just downright ugly. She has the face of a chubby turtle, like a cartoon character. Let's call her Turtle Girl. I don't mean to be mean, but really, what was she thinking when she even dared to get on the show! And what happened to Andy's brain? She must have worked some Turtle Girl magic on him. Bevin was so clearly his perfect match, so beautiful, gracious, elegant and intellectual. I guess Andy showed his true colors --- bland, bland, bland, by picking wishy washy Turtle Girl. He's going to wake up, out of Turtle Girl's spell and scram. No way will this be a marriage! Imagine little baby turtles!!! They'd all look like her, yuck!

I think Andy made the right choice in picking Tessa. They make a great couple and i am so happy for them. I don't see how you can tell someone you love them when you barely know them. I respect Tessa for guarding her heart and staying true to herself. Slow and steady wins the race. I think Tessa needed to know that she loved him for herself not for TV. I also think her making that collage actually ment something. The watch was great that Bevin gave him but putting effort into something like a collage actually has meaning it comes from the heart not the wallet.
