Twitter Is Not Pleased with Last Night's 'The Bachelor' Finale
Or Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s existence, really.

Last night has been called "the worst Bachelor finale ever," by pretty much all people everywhere, especially Twitter (even if host Chris Harrison referred to it as only "the most emotional"). To recap: Arie Luyendyk Jr. sent Lauren Burnham home and proposed to Becca Kufrin during an alpaca-filled moment in Peru. Then, a few weeks later, he proceeded to change his mind and pick runner-up Lauren Burnham, which he told Kufrin about during one of their post-taping, pre-airing secret weekends away (also on camera, naturally). Viewers were less than thrilled, to put it politely.

How DISRESPECTFUL of @ariejr to break up with @thebkoof on national tv. You can’t give her the respect and courtesy to do it in private? You tried to make her look like a fool but you’re the fool! Shame on you. I hope her dad haunts your ass. #TheBachelor #BeccaforBacheloretteMarch 6, 2018

If this scene is unedited how did an engagement ring go from being on Beccas hand to being in Aris hands without me seeing it 🧐 #TheBachelorMarch 6, 2018
