The Bachelor: Colton Underwood’s top 5 most shocking season moments

By Brittni Miner

THE BACHELOR - "2302" - ColtonÕs search for love starts with laughs, surprises and intense face-offs between the women. The first date of the season has eight hopeful bachelorettes sharing personal stories about their "firsts" - with Colton and a live audience Ð and coached by happily married masters of comedy Megan Mullally ("Will & Grace") and Nick Offerman ("Parks and Recreation"). Hannah B. scores the first one-on-one date on her birthday, including dinner on The Queen Mary. Twelve eager women attend "Camp Bachelor" with a decidedly unorthodox camp counselor, actor and comedian Billy Eichner, who oversees three challenging contests. However, some ill-timed drama the night of the rose ceremony might lead to certain ladies being left without a rose on "The Bachelor," MONDAY, JAN. 14 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network.

1. Caelynn had a Me Too Moment

The Bachelor kind of made history this year. Who can forget that total bombshell contestant Caelynn Miller-Keyes dropped during her first one-on-one date with Colton?

It was on this date that Caelynn opened up about being sexually assaulted in college. The story was absolutely raw and brutal. She spared no detail, describing how a group of boys had spiked her and her friends’ drinks before taking advantage of them while they were unconscious.

The worst part? Caelynn went on to describe how justice was never fully served. The boys were not punished to the full extent that they could have been.

In another great twist of the season, Colton had the best response to Caelynn’s heartbreaking story. He described to her how he had actually dated a victim of sexual assault. While he didn’t name the girl outright, we can safely assume that he was referencing Aly Raisman, the Olympic gymnast who bravely testified against her abuser, Larry Nassar. The two dated long before Colton’s season ever began.

We never expected The Bachelor, a show that has the reputation for simply being about getting plastered and getting into fights, to give us a very real, very beautiful Me Too Moment. Honestly, this shocking one-on-one reminded us why the series is still so relevant and that it has truly changed for the better over the years.
