After Ben Smith was sent home following The Bachelorette season 16 hometown dates, fans are rallying behind the beloved frontrunner.

Heading into the eleventh episode of The Bachelorette season 16, fans knew they were in store for some heartbreak due to the fact that Tayshia managed to assemble a final four featuring four truly incredible guys.

Ben, Brendan, Ivan, and Zac have each managed to steal the hearts of Bachelor Nation. There’s been no toxicity among the four, they’ve each displayed a true openness throughout the process and are really just great and genuine guys.

So needless to say we knew saying goodbye to any of the four men would difficult; however, nothing could prepare Bachelor Nation for the heartbreak of saying goodbye to Ben!

Why did Tayshia Adams send home Ben Smith on The Bachelorette?

After getting the chance to spend time with Ben, Brendan, Ivan, and Zac and their families on the show’s covid-adjusted hometown dates, Tayshia was forced to whittle her group of four down to three.

Having gotten the chance to truly get to know the four remaining men on a personal level, Tayshia openly admitted to having fallen in love with each of her remaining suitors which made sending one home that much more difficult.

Ultimately, it was Ben Smith who failed to get a rose during the latest rose ceremony with Tayshia eliminating Ben due to his inability to express his feelings and openly profess his love — as the other three men standing had previously done.

Bachelorette fans react to Ben Smith’s shocking elimination

Needless to say, Ben’s elimination hit Bachelor Nation hard and it didn’t take long for fans to take to social media to rally behind Ben and send their love to the latest eliminated bachelor.

"“I WANT TO WRITE SOMETHING PROFOUND BUT I’M SO SAD,” one emotional fan tweeted. “Ben openly discussed bulimia. Ben openly discussed suicide. Ben talked about that sometimes, emotions are f***ing hard to express. I am sure he’s given the freedom to a lot of people this season. I adore this man.”"

“I need to find Ben, wherever he is and give him a hug. Seriously,” echoed another fan. In fact, the desire to track Ben down and give him a hug was a common theme among fans reeling from Ben’s elimination.

As he deserves, there seems to be nothing but love for Ben who Bachelor Nation has full confidence will make someone very happy whenever he ends up finding that special someone.

Next. Not even Reality Steve knows how Tayshia's season ends. dark
