Weepy Bachelor Ben Really Turned On the Waterworks Last Night
Latest
Monday night’s episode of The Bachelor covered hometown dates, which meant Ben traveled to various beautiful parts of this great nation to meet with the families of his potential wives-to-be. This also meant that emotions ran particularly high, as Ben grappled with the realization that it’s much harder to break up with people when you care about them—because as much as this show seems like it’s about polygamy, it’s actually about monogamy.
During the episode, Ben cried outright at least twice and teared up a few more times. Most of his tears were about breaking up with Amanda, mother of two adorable twin girls I thought were twins but aren’t, but he also got emotional just seeing her with her children for the first time, in describing his feelings for Lauren B. to her sister, and in talking about how hard this experience has been for him emotionally.
