For the couples on 'Bachelor in Paradise', the ones who have survived have made it to the endgame. With a chance to go to the fantasy suits, the remaining couples have had to make a few tough decisions and consider their future and what lies ahead for them in the real world.

Here's a look at the couples that walked away from Paradise without a relationship and the unlikely couple that found happiness!

One of the most unexpected breakups that came out of the finale episode was Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs. Although the couple seemed to be going relatively strong, Becca felt as though she hadn't seen a more vulnerable side to him and was unsure they could make it work out in the real world. Thomas asked that she have faith in them and that he didn't want them to leave with 'what ifs' on their mind. However, Becca was sure about her decision, right up until she got into her car to leave. But by then, the damage was done.

Up next was Ed Waisbrot and Mykenna Dorn. While Ed wanted to go to the fantasy suites with Mykenna, she felt they really didn't have a connection and decided to call it off. No matter how much Ed tried to plead his case, Mykenna had no interest in spending the night with him.

Then came James Bonsall and Anna Redman. While Anna wanted to explore a relationship with James, he felt they didn't have a strong enough connection to take it to fantasy suites or discuss a real relationship. Anna felt as though she had been led on, but James said that he had no intention of doing so and apologised for the same. But, after his breakup with Anna, came the proposal fans have all been waiting for. As James said his goodbyes to the guys, he asked if Aaron Clancy wanted to leave with him, seeing that they walked in together. Aaron agreed and asked him to wait as he spoke to Tia. Aaron went up to Tia and took her aside only to say that James was leaving, and so was he. Tia handled the situation rather well, as everyone couldn't help but laugh at Aaron and James' bromance.

Fans found their antics rather hilarious too. "James said, "Get in, bestie, we're leaving Paradise." #BachelorInParadise" tweeted a fan. 
"Did all of the twitter jokes about James and Aaron leaving together just come true?? #BachelorInParadise" asked a user. "The strongest couple in paradise leaving together to continue their relationship in the real world  #BachelorInParadise #bachelorinparadiseabc" pointed out another. 
"everyone watching james and aaron leave together #BachelorinParadise" joked a fan. "AARON AND JAMES. The love story we didn't expect but all needed @BachParadise #BachelorInParadise" added another. 
"maybe the real paradise was the friends we made along the way  #BachelorInParadise" added a fan.
