After a quick 6-week run, it was finale time for Listen to Your Heart on Monday night as Bachelor Nation watched our lovebirds take on Nashville for one last show.

The season 1 finale of Listen to Your Heart kicks off with Chris Harrison looking dapper in a tuxedo, two song choices for the contestants, and guest judges who didn’t hold anything back in their critiques. (Hi, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jason Tartick!) But who really ended up winning the season?

There may have been some turmoil leading up to their final performance, but the clear winner in every sense of the word this season was Bri. She has true love with a completely smitten kitten, Chris. Not to mention, she has an upcoming album and tour to look forward to with her man, and let’s face it, her voice doesn’t even compare to her competition formerly known as Jamie. The girl is on top of the world!

Bri also took the power role this week during her fantasy suite date when she decided to voice her opinions about the pair not spending the night together and rushing things. She owned who she is and what she stands for and she and Chris can now cuddle up in their tour bus on their own schedule. A strong, independent woman who honestly helped Chris achieve this victory over boring Trevor and Jamie. (Thank goodness.)  Bri, you are amazing and I hope we get to see the tour you know Taye Diggs would already pay to see soon!

Our second power player this week goes to “I’m just not there with you” Matt. Yes, Matt spilled the emotional beans inconveniently resulting in him and Rudi going home before the final performance. But he spoke his truth and did the right thing instead of stringing Rudi along when they weren’t on the same page especially compared to the other couples.

Was Rudi waaaayyyy too dramatic about the breakup? Yes. Was it not fair to Bachelor Nation to rob us of hearing Rudi sing one last time? Also yes. But was it what needed to happen so that Matt didn’t get stuck in a tour bus with someone he’s not in love with? Most definitely yes.

Love is hard, but a cross-country road trip where you fake a romance on stage every night with someone you feel meh about is harder. Matt, I’m not saying you should have known back on night one when you got slapped that this wouldn’t work out, but I’m not not saying that. You made the right call.

And finally, in third place we have the man who has tolerated the most this season of Listen to Your Heart by doing what I would call the most tactical move of the entire show: hooking himself to rising star, Jamie. Yes, Trevor, you are a true power player for sticking with Jamie this whole time even going so far as to say that you’re falling in love with her and planning to move to Nashville after the show. *insert slow clap here*

Trevor had a rough start to the show with the cheating accusations but luckily survived. Mainly due to Jamie’s naive views of the world. And after he was in for good, he knew where to stay to get that screen time to make it all the way to the end; attached to Jamie’s hip.

We stan a loyal (if not totally for the right reasons, but what are you going to do) king. Trevor, you’re going to make some Nashville bar very happy when you become their regular talent as the token hot guy with a guitar coming off of a “tragic” breakup. Dust off those cowboy boots!

Listen to Your Heart season one, you are done! It was a dramatic musical filled journey, or at least something new for us to watch as we were stuck inside the house, but will there be a season two? Only Chris Harrison and those tricky ABC Producers know for sure. Until next time!
