I think everything felt a little bit rushed in this season.. maybe if there were more episodes some of those negative feelings would have been less
Of course Linds was the main reason in my eyes that made Justin go to NY..
first she tried to get him to leave on his own, and when that didn't work, she took Brian in the boat, knowing very well that he wouldn't want Justin to risk his carreer becuase of him. He always thought he wasn't worth it
and Mel telling him too that Justin sacrifices his career because of him .. well it just made sense in Brians head that he had to do something..
I haven't thought about the bachelosr party very much, but you are right
but Justin was there too, so maybe it was a party for both of them, but they left out Justins part of getting gifts?
I guess that is something we won't get to know
