Heartbreaking. Cruel. Devastating. There actually aren’t sufficient phrases to describe the emotional sh*tshow that was the first portion of The Bachelor‘s season finale. Arie Luyendyk Jr. threw a Jason Mesnick-esque plot twist that left viewers in a puddle of their own tears, as he proposed to Becca Kufrin, solely to surprise her with an on-camera breakup months later so he may strive to win Lauren Burnham again.
Before all the drama went down, Becca poured her coronary heart out to Arie on the shores of a (very oddly muddy) river in Peru. We rewatched the dramatic episode to doc precisely what Becca mentioned to Arie earlier than he proposed, and her hopeful and weak phrases are actually painful to learn over once more, contemplating what occurred months later in hindsight. Here’s precisely what she mentioned:
Arie, since I first stepped out of the limo, I used to be in awe of you and simply how cool, calm, and picked up you had been once I was a bundle of nerves. But since our very first dialog, you simply put me at such ease and made me really feel so comfy. It simply felt straightforward or it felt proper. And the first date, you allowed me that evening to simply open up to you and be weak, however there was no judgment there. You simply let me be me, and I knew I used to be falling for you. And I used to be falling so onerous and so quick, and it scared me as a result of I did not assume that I may really feel so deeply for somebody so early on. But you proved me improper. You’ve made falling in love with you straightforward. You make being in love with you straightforward. And I do not ever need to cease loving you. I like you so, a lot, and I’m simply prepared to do that factor with you.
After graciously handing her coronary heart to Arie on a silver platter, he professed that his love for her is “unmeasurable” and the way they’re “a team” earlier than getting down on one knee and popping the large query with a (very flashy) engagement ring. Little did Becca know in these seemingly candy moments of bliss, Arie would get chilly toes a few months later and publicly humiliate her in entrance of 1000’s of viewers.
If you are trying to have a good cry, you’ll be able to relive Becca’s devastatingly hopeful speech throughout The Bachelor season finale on ABC.com. Now please excuse me whereas I restore my shattered coronary heart.
