It was an interesting night in Bachelor Nation. A season finale we will surely never forget as it reminds us easily of former Bachelor Jason Mesnick. The Bachelor: Arie Luyendyk still conflicted over his final decision, decides to break off his engagement with Becca K in what was truly the most dramatic season finale we have ever seen.
It all came down to Becca K and Lauren B and while Arie said “I love you” to both women, we can’t help but wonder why he chose Becca K knowing he felt this way about the two finalists. Well bachelor nation also can't believe it, especially the former contestants on previous seasons of the show. Tanner Tolbert even tweeted out this meme comparing Arie to the most hated bachelor in bachelor nation: Juan Pablo...
And I thought Arie was boring??? This dude out here making Juan Pablo look like Mother Teresa... #thebachelor pic.twitter.com/abQgjiYuMw

Many other former bachelor's from the franchise including Sean Lowe and Ben Flanjnik also shared their thoughts that this finale was cringe worthy even telling ABC to "Make it stop."
Make it stop. #thebachelor

The first bachelorette ever: Trista Sutter took to Twitter to say, "To all future Bachelors & Bachelorettes, please use the L word wisely. Please. Live in the present but be thoughtful of the future.." She even calls out Ben Higgins as well as Arie for teaching us those lessons.
To all future Bachelors & Bachelorettes, please use the L word wisely. Please. Live in the present but be thoughtful of the future and thank @benhiggi & @ariejr for lessons learned. #thebachelor

After his name starting trending on Twitter, Ben couldn't help but ask if this mean all was forgiven for him and Jason Mesnick for their mistakes made during their seasons of The Bachelor. In case you forgot Ben Higgins also told his final two girls that he was in love with both of them and Jason actually dumped his fiancé during the finale and got together with his runner up. Jason and Molly actually are happily married with two children.
But real talk does this mean @jason_mesnick and I are off the hook now?? #TheBachelor

Former contestants of Arie's season and before also took to Twitter to express their critics of Arie. Kristina Schulman actually started her statement with "I don't dislike Arie.." Thank goodness she followed up with that she doesn't agree with his decision because Bachelor Nation might have turned on her for even saying she doesn't 'hate' Arie.
I don’t dislike @ariejr , I have no doubt what he was going through was incredibly difficult. I simply don’t agree with his decision to propose knowing how conflicted he was about these two women. Fortunately, Neil Lane doesn’t just appear for Bachelor shows #TheBachelor

I wonder why @ariejr didn’t just say, “I need to date you both longer in real life to make this decision.”

Sitting there after you cold-heartedly shattered her heart and then lingering with your “sad” face after she told to you leave is cruel and unusual torture! I really cannot 😩#TheBachelor

You’re heart can’t control how it feels or when it feels but your mind can control what you do with how you feel and how you make others feel...ya feel? #thebachelor @BachelorABC
