Bachelor Shockers!

Monday night’s finale of The Bachelor was messy, and the fallout has been even worse. Arie Luyendyk Jr. proposed to Becca Kufrin during the final rose ceremony in Peru, but then called off their engagement weeks later and admitted he still had feelings for runner-up Lauren Burnham.
But he didn’t just break up with Kufrin: he did as a part of the show, which has created a huge backlash for the producers and the Bachelor himself.
- One social media user summed up the reaction, writing: “I hate Chris Harrison and The Bachelor producers and ABC for even filming this.”
- Host Harrison stands by the decision though. “There was no way Arie was going to do this and look great,” the 46-year-old host said in an interview with ABC‘s Good Morning America that aired Tuesday. “In my opinion, you don’t get to just tell the fairytales.”
