In an interview with Entertainment Tonight after the explosive finale aired, Chris Harrison revealed he didn’t know the extent to which Barb disapproved of Peter’s relationship with Madison. “I thought there was going to be a ‘but,'” the host explained, sharing that he thought that — despite her clear reservations about the relationship– Barb would round out the night by saying something to the effect of: “But our son has chosen her, so we’re going to give her a chance.”
Obviously, that was NOT the case. “Instead, it just went deeper off the cliff, and I was shocked. I was sad. I was disappointed in the whole thing, to be honest,” he shared. “Going with my gut instinct in the room, I felt terrible. I felt terrible. And it wasn’t anything I could fix.”
Harrison told the outlet that post-finale, Peter’s family is “splintered,” which is something he tried to keep from happening. “I tried to save it, because that’s kind of my instinct of being a caretaker of like, ‘I’ve gotta put this family back [together].’ Because I don’t want this family to be hurt.”
Considering the fact that Peter still lives with his parents, Harrison confessed that he almost expected Peter to turn up at his house. “Because we are neighbors… I fully expected to show up and Peter [be] on my porch…” The host added that he definitely would have let Peter crash at his place.
Only time will tell if Peter and his family (or Peter and Madison, for that matter) will be able to repair their relationships.
