One of the main reasons we love watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette on ABC every winter and summer for years on end is for the drama.
In fact, maybe that"s the only reason we love it. We can"t get enough of the competition, the on-screen drunkenness and the totally shocking surprises.
With that in mind, we"ve taken a look back at some of the most shocking moments in The Bachelor and The Bachelorette history. Check them out below!
1. Jesse’s Major Slip Up
Talk about a rose ceremony disaster. On The Bachelor Season 5, Jesse Palmer accidentally gave a rose to the wrong girl because he mixed up their names, calling Katie instead of Karen. He was ultimately allowed to give out an extra rose so both of them could stay.
2. Brad Womack’s Double Rejection
This was definitely at the top of the list for shocking season finales. The whole point of the show was for Brad Womack to fall in love and propose, but instead, he walked away from The Bachelor Season 11 completely alone. He did come back for a later season, which was even more dramatic than the first.
3. Stacey Gets a Little Too Friendly
All that pressure of the Bachelor mansion could drive a girl to drink, and Stacey Elza knows this all too well. On The Bachelor Season 12, she had a bit too much booze and embarassed herself by giving Matt Grant a pair of her panties.
4. Jason Changes His Mind
Well, how’s this for a seriously shocking After the Final Rose Special? Jason Mesnick basically just changed his mind at the end of The Bachelor Season 13, dumping Melissa and asking runner-up Molly to be with him instead.
5. Rozlyn’s Secret Affair
Apparently, Rozlyn Papa didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to be on The Bachelor Season 14 for, you know, The Bachelor. Instead, she had her sights set on one of the show’s producers.
6. Rated R
We hear it every season. You have to be on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette “for the right reasons.” Well, Justin “Rated R” Rego was apparently not there for the right reasons at all, since he had a girlfriend while he was on the show. Woops.
