On Thursday's season finale of Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer, Kurt Sowers and Steven McBee finally picked their women, and the women finally found out who is worth $10 million.

For Steven, it all came down to Annie Jorgensen and Calah Jackson, and it was the latter whom the millionaire chose to leave the show with. "I was taught that if you work hard and take care of your loved ones, you will be a wealthy man. So, in that way, I'm very wealthy. And in terms of actual money. … I have a lot of it," Steven shared with Calah after telling her she was the one. Calah reassured Steven that she wasn't there for the money, as she told him, "I can honestly say money has not played a role in the way I have felt about you at all." However, while some viewers were surprised Steven chose Calah over Annie, nothing was more surprising than the fact that Kurt did not choose Carolyn Moore.

Carolyn thought she had it in the bag since day one, often saying in her interviews that she couldn't wait for the show to be over so they could just start their lives already. Viewers were just as surprised as she was, when Kurt told her, "Carolyn, I think the passion we have for each other is unreal. You can't make it up. But as much as I love having passion in my life, it has burned me in the past, truly. Keep getting the feeling that this will burn out. And you've got so much to think about in your life. Carolyn, as much as this breaks my heart, my heart belongs to someone else. I'm sorry, Carolyn." And with that, he chose Amanda Pace.

Shocked viewers immediately took to social media following the revelation:

But, overall, the majority of fans were happy with Kurt's choice. Another thing viewers loved about the finale was the fact that the men gave the women "promise" rings, not engagement rings.

So it was an overall satisfying season finale but, in the end, the real romance that came out of the show was the bromance between Kurt and Steven.

"Here we are at the end of Joe Millionaire. I can tell you, it worked. I've got the woman and the man of my dreams. A brother for life, who completes me as a man," stated Steven. And it's a good thing the guys have each other because, shortly after the finale, TMZ reported that Kurt and Amanda broke up not long after filming.

The Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer season finale aired March 10 at 8 p.m. on FOX.
