Matt James' historic and messy season of "The Bachelor" is coming to a close. Spoiler alert: It isn't the ending most were hoping for. 

What was meant to be a historic season (the franchise's first Black male lead and the most diverse cast in show history) took a turn for the worse on-camera with incessant bullying and off-camera with a racism controversy involving one of Matt's final two women and host Chris Harrison. 

The big question: Will Matt end up picking Rachael Kirkconnell, the woman at the center of the controversy? Or will he pick Michelle Young, widely deemed an unproblematic fan-favorite? And what will everyone have to say later during the "After the Final Rose" special? 

In-depth look:What will it take to fix 'The Bachelor' franchise's racism?
