5. Colton dumped his final two
During part one of The Bachelor finale, it became real clear real quick that Colton was going all in with Cassie. As soon as she started talking about leaving the series, he lost his cool and started dropping truth bombs about he wanted her to be “the one” and how he was completely in love with her.
If this had happened during part two of the finale, perhaps this would have felt like any other season of The Bachelor. Unfortunately, Colton went all out while he still had two other women left on the show. For crying out loud, Hannah G. hadn’t even gotten her Fantasy Suite date yet!
After Colton wept over Cassie and eventually jumped a fence in her honor, no one in Bachelor Nation really knew what was going on in his head. Would he decide to give the last two girls a chance anyway? Would he somehow convince Cassie to return to the series? Colton shocked us all when he decided to break up with his remaining women and end the show without any actual contestants.
The fallout was definitely awkward. Tayshia asked for her breakup to happen behind closed doors, but the show caught her tears via mic anyway. Hannah G. opted for the full frontal breakup and definitely schooled Colton on love when she broke down for him exactly how insulting it is to be broken up with for a girl who didn’t even want to stay on the series.
