【Watch Hollywood Sex Fantasy (2001)】

Warning: This postcontainsspoilers for the finale ofSeason 21 of The Watch Hollywood Sex Fantasy (2001)Bachelor.

Apparently Nick Viall is not unlovable.

The Bachelor season 21 contestant -- a three time Bachelor alum -- finally found love on the popular ABC television franchise.

It took a very long -- sorry, "historic"-- three hours for viewers to find out Viall's final pick.

Ultimately the final rose (and engagement ring) went to Vanessa Grimaldi, a 29-year-old special education teacher from Montreal, Canada.

Viall left 25-year-old Raven Gates, from Hoxie, Ark, out in the cold (literally, the finale took place in snowy Finland), making her the runner-up.

Don't worry: Gates will have another shot at finding love. During After the Rose,she announced she will be a contestant on next season's Bachelor in Paradise.

As of 10:30 EST, the finale had garnered 313,000 tweets, Twitter said. The number one most tweeted moment was when Viall sent Gates home and said: "I'm gonna miss you more than you know." 

Viall, 36, went from being the villain (when fighting for Andi Dorfman's love) to being tolerated (on season 11 of The Bachelorettewith Kaitlyn Bristowe) to eventually — dare we say it? — being loved on Bachelor in Paradise(after it didn't work out with Jen).

"I think we both have our fears but we always kind of come back," Viall said to Chris Harrison.

"We are taking baby steps," Grimaldi added, when asked whether they are getting married. "I think we are still in the process of really getting to know each other, we still have things to figure out but we are very optimistic."

Grimaldi said she is "bringing her life from Montreal here [Los Angeles]."
