By now, you must have heard:
On the season finale of The Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr. got down on one knee and proposed to Becca Kurfin.
He then realized that he still had feelings for runner-up Lauren Burnham… so he invited Becca over to his house and shattered her heart into a million tiny pieces – in front of ABC cameras, no less!
And while Kurfin claims she"s forgiven Arie for his actions, past mainstays from this beloved franchise can"t believe Arie would do her like that on national television.
Scroll down for a look at the reactions of some very familiar names. Do you agree with their assessment?
1. Oh, Arie
The 22nd Bachelor in show history admits he made a huge “mistake” in the way he handled the Becca break-up, but that doesn’t change the fact that it happened. He ended their engagement in front of millions of viewers!
2. She Can Relate
Melissa Rycroft was watching the finale when it happened. If you recall, she was dumped on the After the Rose special by Jason Mesnick, who then asked out runner-up Molly Malaney.
3. And Speaking of Molly…
Yup, she was watching as well. And she wasn’t a fan of how this was handled.
4. And Then Speaking of Jason…
Wait, what? Maybe he didn’t want it filmed deep down inside, but he obviously agreed to it and, you know, did actually break up with Becca on camera.
5. They Also Did It for Ratings
But we agree. No way Becca isn’t announced as The Bachelorette, right?!?
6. Spoken from Experience
Lowe is the only Bachelor in history to actually marry the woman he proposed to on the show. This is a man who knows the love business.
