We’re very sorry, Chris Harrison.
But we’re calling you out already.
The next time you say that viewers are in for THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY, you will be lying.
Yes, we can say this with authority right now.
Because THE MOST DRAMATIC ROSE CEREMONY IN BACHELOR HISTORY has already happened.
The Vietnamese version of this long-running hit reality series has gone viral across the entire universe because a pair of contestants – Minh Thu and Truc Nhu – recently decided they did not want to pursue a relationship with star Nguyen Quoc Trung.
Why?
Because they had already found love… with each other!
“I went into this competition to find love,” Thu said to Trung during the aforementioned, mind-boggling, stunning rose ceremony.
She then explained/teased: “I’ve found that love for myself, but it isn’t with you. It’s with someone else.”
And it was someone else Trung knew well.
Upon making her admission, a clearly emotional Thu walked over to Nhu and gave her a long hug, much to the total and complete surprise of the other contestants.
“Come home with me,” Thu said more than once to Nhu, who later approached Trung and said the following:
“I’m sorry. I really wanted to get to know you because you’re someone who made me feel special and I haven’t felt that way in a long time.”
The Bachelor was taken aback, according to those who watched this episode (it’s still sitting on our DVR), but managed to respond:
“I want to ask: If you decide this, would you feel regretful? This doesn’t change my decision. I’m not going to give this rose to anyone else. You only get one chance in this life, and you need to take it. Only you, not anyone else.
“I want to let you know that I think you’ll have regret if you continue with what you are about to say.”
This plea, however, fell on deaf ears.
Or, to be more accurate perhaps, it fell on a heart that already been captured by a fellow contestant.
“I know you’ll find someone who really loves you, who understands you, who knows how to take care of you, who can look at you from afar and know how you’re feeling,” she told him.
“I’m sorry.”
The two women then walked out of the ceremony together.
UPDATE: Wait!
The Asian news website NextShark now reports that Nhu chose to come back to the show after another conversation with Trung.
She reportedly said: “I’ve changed my mind to accept this rose and continue this journey.”
Okay, well. That certainly makes this story a tad bit less interesting.
But it doesn’t change the drama of the rose ceremony itself!
