Hulu airs Bachelor season finale before ABC, reveals Arie’s final rose disaster
By Ruby Maxwell
The Bachelor Arie Luyendyk’s season finale airs on Monday, but Hulu goofed up and aired the final episode hours before it is set to air on ABC.
If you don’t believe the spoilers about the outcome of Arie’s season, you will now. Two days prior to the two-night The Bachelor season finale, Hulu aired the last episode that shows Arie proposing to his final pick (photos below). Although it appears they took it down, one has to wonder —was it an intentional leak to stir up more controversy?
ABC has been promoting Arie’s dramatic ending for days now, so we don’t really need spoilers to tell us the After the Final Rose special will be a hot mess. But the Hulu leak confirms what some fans have been doubting — Arie proposed to Becca Kufrin in Peru three months ago.
On Saturday, blogger Reality Steve tweeted a screenshot from the Hulu broadcast that shows Arie proposing to Becca. Of course, they look happy and, at that point, Becca probably thought her fairytale love story came true.

Unfortunately, her breakup will be part of ABC’s two-night Bachelor nightmare. The three-hour season finale will air on Monday night (March 5), followed by a two-hour live After the Final Rose special on Tuesday (March 6).
Arie gets engaged to twice — yes, it’s true!

Now that Hulu has confirmed the spoilers about Arie proposing to Becca, we know that the gossip about Arie breaking Becca’s heart is true.
Even Us Weekly confirmed Arie broke up with Becca two months after the finale.
But it’s how Arie broke up with Becca and what transpired after the breakup that has us stocking up on wine for the After the Final Rose special.
It’s going to be a doozy.
If you don’t know what happens after Arie breaks up with Becca, here’s a complete timeline of how the whole mess went down, including his engagement to runner-up Lauren Burnham that took place just six weeks after he dumped Becca.
