Spoilers for The Fallacious Paris are forward! Learn with warning, and watch the rom-com with a Netflix subscription.
I’ve at all times had a bone to select with The Bachelor. These fast engagements and rushed confessions at all times make me a tad nervous, and the variety of breakups that occur after the present isn’t precisely encouraging. So, when the rom-com The Fallacious Paris premiered on Netflix’s 2025 schedule, I used to be curious to see how it could finish the love story between Trey and Daybreak that performed out on a Bachelor-like present.
Then, that feeling was heightened when it was revealed that Miranda Cosgrove’s character, Daybreak, solely went on the present to earn cash to pay for varsity earlier than really falling in love with Pierson Fodé’s Trey.
With that being mentioned, I believe this film balanced out all of its conflicts in an entertaining and logical approach. Daybreak was conscious that confessing her love for Trey on TV made it appear to be she was doing it for the cash, and whereas watching, I appreciated that that reality was addressed. I additionally preferred that Trey didn’t settle for her confession then and there, and that she really appeared to actually get it. Actually, the self-awareness on this scenario is vital.
Then, it received higher as a result of the second Trey came upon Daybreak forfeited her cash to get again on the present, he demanded that she get it again. He knew artwork faculty was her dream, and whereas he could have been heartbroken, he didn’t wish to take that away from her, which is genuinely considerate. Nonetheless, he then realized he cherished her and needed to confess that, saying to her proper earlier than the cameras began rolling that she may have him and Paris (France):
You shouldn’t have to decide on between Paris and us. I believe I do know of a approach you can get each, OK? They will’t power us to remain collectively, however extra importantly, they’ll’t power us to remain aside. Right here’s the catch. The winnings can’t be shared between the 2 of us.
Trey then received down on one knee and gave Daybreak the choice to select a hoop or a gold bar, so she may select the gold bar, take the cash and so they may very well be a pair with out cameras round them. And I’m obsessive about that selection.
As somebody who has watched their fair proportion of The Bachelor, I’ve by no means been the most important fan of the moment engagement and tv wedding ceremony. I prefer it when contestants get engaged on the present, after which maintain off a couple of years earlier than tying the knot in their very own time.
I’m additionally an enormous fan of studying which {couples} received collectively (or again collectively) off-screen. For instance, certainly one of my favourite Bachelor in Paradise {couples} is Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb. Whereas they broke up throughout Season 7 and didn’t go away collectively, they shortly rekindled their relationship off-camera in 2021 and ultimately received married in 2024. They’re nonetheless a pair, and their love story makes me so comfortable.
I’d prefer to assume Trey and Daybreak’s story went an analogous approach, seeing as viewers know they received engaged with out cameras rolling, because of the pictures featured within the credit. Fortunately, their actuality TV ending was even higher than Abigail and Noah’s, too, since they confessed their love and stayed collectively when the present ended.
To that time, the tip of Trey and Daybreak’s time on their fictional present was paying homage to Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson’s finish in Bachelor Season 28. They received engaged on the finish of the season that aired in early 2024, and so they’re nonetheless collectively at present (however will not be married but). I hope our fictional lovebirds received to stay a life just like Graziadei and Anderson’s.
All that is to say, I actually appreciated how The Fallacious Paris dove into this wild world of actuality TV and courting. It in the end delivered an ending that felt considerate and semi-realistic within the sense that these two didn’t instantly determine to get married whereas on tv. As an alternative, Daybreak went to artwork faculty, they received to know one another higher after which they took the following steps of their relationship in their very own time. Now, that’s what I name a fortunately ever after.
