I hate the fact that the show no longer gives a damn about constructing a romantic narrative and getting us stoked to see who the lead will choose and now every season finale being a dumpster fire. We definitely need to see a back-to-basics season in terms of structure: every date having their day and night portion shown, every episode ending in a rose ceremony unless there's a really strong reason for otherwise, editing a few contestants so we can root for them and not go "Oh, this one made it to hometowns?". Except for Michelle's seasons and the Tayshia portion of the Bachelorette 16 season, all seasons since Pilot Pete have been structurally all over the place.

[@hommefataltaemin]

Yep. And I think it isn’t a coincidence that Tayshia & Michelle’s seasons have been my favorites out of all the recent ones.

[@elizaragsdale3726]

Second this 100%. They also need to listen to who the audience actually wants as leads and stop casting very similar looking white men for every bachelor season (except Matt James, of course). I stuck with the show through Arie, Clayton, etc. but I think next season I’ll save myself some disappointment and just watch Fantake instead.

[@andyroo9381]

You can blame all of that on the show's producer's who are, OBVIOUSLY, lacking in creative ideas and imaginations. This show has a simple recipe to it, which made The Bachelor & The Bachelorette so successful. Now the producer's think turning it into a soap opera will be more enticing. Whomever "They" are, have ruined this show.

I’m still laughing at how Tino said “once I kiss d the girl, I knew I belong to you.” Tino, buddy. Time to be single and love your independence, you don’t belong to anyone. You need time to find yourself. Don’t date till you realize oniy YOU BELONG TO YOURSELF. And Rachel, also need helps too. But, Tino All in all as humans as these mistakes are Tino is trying his HARDEST and the guy is willing to do therapy. Dude, the best thing you can get someone is someone who want to do self work.

Her parents fucked Rachel over and I feel sorry for Rachel.

He constantly threw fits if he didn’t get what he wanted and didn’t want to admit that his parents were total jerks to Rachel the whole time.

[@jennifer.martin.48]

I’m honestly kind of shocked at how production treated Tino. Hell, even Jed wasn’t treated as bad and he had a whole other relationship during his whole time with Hannah. They’re honestly better off without each other. I don’t think Rachel was emotionally or mentally ready for this process, I think she needed more time to heal from her time on Clayton’s season. She was scrutinized heavily, but honestly some of it was warranted. Cancelling dates and sending great guys home, but then complaining that no one is here for her. Accusations of her character being questioned when she received any slight criticism. It comes with the territory of being the lead. Hopefully, everyone finds their happiness and learns for future relationships.

[@bhavanasurti5646]

Absolutely correct 👍🏼precisely what I was thinking about,Gabby was ok but Rachel wasn’t ready for the show after Clayton thing happened,I am not sure she would be with Aven too.Sending good guys than saying nobody is there for her was the joke actually 😄from the face and her behaviour can be seen that she has lot of anger issue btw.

I think the cuttting and editing of the break up convo with Rachel and Tino made it intentionally confusing. Tino is def the AH in this situation, but also I think having Aven coming out with Tino still on the couch was a dick move from production. Like they could’ve had Tino walk backstage and then brought Aven out and I would’ve been 100% fine with it.

pay attention - these media are here to manipulate our truths - they definitely could have done that, but didn't - that means SHE is the villain and they want us to perceive him to be the villain. there is something they're not telling us about her, why she needs therapy and why he looked doom and gloom when she told him that he was the only one there he bought a book of notes (truths) to share her texts when she dumped him because she was never "all in it for him", but made him be the bad guy and not here Zach called it, which is why they made him the next boring-ass bachelor gonna need a lot of popcorn and wine for that season!

[@hommefataltaemin]

I 100% agree with your taking on cheating and boundaries and that it might be a bigger deal for some than others. I hate seeing people saying that she’s “making too big of a deal about a small thing” when it isn’t up to them to decide that. Rachel has done a lot wrong in this season but her leaving him for a betrayal of trust is not one of them, especially when they already had issues before that. It bothers me so much when people are saying she must of not loved him to “leave so easily”. Like come on guys. What is wrong with you? Just because that’s how you would feel doesn’t mean you can force that onto others. So I appreciated you commenting on this!

[@mayrasanchez7972]

I agree to a certain extend. Cheating is wrong. Just wrong. But there were more to the story to it that we don’t know. The way producers treated him and leaving him while she left with Aven was heartless. There was no compassion from Rachel at all. If you seriously loved someone even if they were shitty to you, you still show compassion. For example. Matt with Rachel K. Therefore I wonder if she decided to go with tino because wanted a ring and engagement and not him 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@annahayden]

@@mayrasanchez7972 clearly not as she dumped the guy that gave her the ring for the guy that wasn’t ready at the end. You know, because the guy that gave her the ring was full of it, lied, cheated, and tried to manipulate her. But sure. Somehow it seems like there’s always more to explain or justify when a man is in the wrong with this franchise. There is no explaining or justifying it. He was wrong. What he did was a deal breaker for her. She left him. End of story. There is no turning it into but how can we make it the woman’s fault again.

[@kells4315]

I'm fairly certain too that it wasn't just the kiss, it's as she said, she had to convince him to tell her about it, and then he said ALL the wrong things during the apology. Taking out a notebook on TV and airing out personal info to explain why he cheated??? Then saying he was just thinking of her when he chose to try to hide it? I've been in open relationships where if he did what he did we'd be over lmao.

[@lorilara962]

Bravo.

[@CandleAshes]

It’s not only what he did, it’s how he talked about it. It’s something a couple could move on from, but he was so unwilling to disclose or admit guilt that it feels like he has done or would easily do more than just kiss someone. I don’t trust him

[@katerinapetrovich650]

Rachel seemed like she wanted the story told and she wanted Tino under the bus. She kept accusing him of telling his side of the story without context, but when he tried to give context, she cut him off and wouldn’t let him say what he wanted. If it was something that painted her in a good light- we can be sure she would want it out there for all of us to know. What he did was absolutely wrong. There are no excuses. He is human and deserves alittle grace. Rachel got so much undeserved support for her temper tantrum, I’m surprised he suffered through it as long as he did. They are both wrong. They both handled this badly. Neither of them is ready for any aspect of this. It’s a good thing it happened now before they both wasted time and effort on something doomed from the start.

Double bachelorette/bachelor is a terrible idea and I’m glad they immediately trashed it after this season. Was scared they’d try two bachelors😂

[@hpfan]

What an absolute train wreck. The show spoiled its own ending right out of the gate, and they’re so hellbent on being “the most dramatic ending ever” that they forced these two people to fight and break up on camera. It was made clear that they were not going to divulge crucial information (of which I think would have made them BOTH look horrible) so they should have let them break up off camera, and show up at ATFR in a sit down with Jesse to make a joint statement. But because this show is terrible, they ended up making Tino look a little sympathetic even though he cheated on her. Rachel, girl, listen to me - there is no justification for him to cheat even if you’re in a bad place. No one denies that. But when you demand that he explain why he did it, his answers are going to include how he felt at the time. It’s going to sound like excuses. It is. “Because we were in a bad place/the things you said were hurtful, I made a terrible choice to kiss someone instead of just ending the relationship. It doesn’t make what I did right. But you asked me why I did what I did, and that’s the reason.” So they talk over each other, they both can’t agree what was actually said, and outside, Tino looks like a caged dog - clearly, they brought him back to crucify him. And it’s clear that they wanted to protect their lead as well. (Personally, I don’t think she came off looking great either, and the vagueness of the entire thing reminded me of her breakup with Zach. Her refusal to let Tino, as big of an asshat as he is, finish a sentence because it wasn’t what she wanted to hear reminded me of her breakup with Aven.) With all of that in mind, I think Tino was absolutely valid in asking what she wanted from the conversation. It was obvious she didn’t want reconciliation, she wanted blood. And I understand that. But him basically begging and crying outside to have her break up with him and let him go, and then having Aven come out while he’s still on the couch? For those wondering why people feel sympathy towards Tino, they can blame production. Let these people keep their dignity for crying out loud.

I’m not defending Tino’s cheating. But I think he kept a notebook of things she said because from the editing, it looks like Rachel denies things that she said or misconstrues what the other person said. Like how she said that Zach questioned her character from him saying that she acted different when it was just them versus in front of the camera. Clearly her and Tino were not communicating well and honestly they are better off without each other.

While Tino isn't my favorite, I don't like how Rachel or Production handled this at all. Tino seemed under the impression that he was there to try to reconcile things. Even asking Rachel why he was there and trying to talk about other aspects of their relationship. But it was clear that Rachel didn't have any intention of working things out or listening. It was very set up feeling. Tino handled it horribly and just seemed to be talking out of his butt. However, it was clear they had lots of issues before this. I also didn't appreciate how Rachel didn't let Tino have a moment to calm down. He really seemed to be panicking (understandably as the entire nation was about to find out he is a cheater), and bad guy or not, anxiety attacks are no joke and shouldn't be used for entertainment. There was also no reason to humiliate him by having Aven come out. That could have been a separate thing. I watch the bachelor for the romance and petty drama, not to see people be beaten when down.

Yes he did seem to almost have a panick attack maybe that’s why his shirt was undone outside ? He was sweating profusely and I agree although I don’t stand by cheating I couldn’t help but to feel more sorry for Tino than Rachel!

[@alexandrafarrar]

@@BA-qn7xj while in a normal situation, I might agree, the bachelor isn’t a normal situation. For almost the entirety of their relationship Tino had to watch while Rachel “cheated” on him and was expected to be totally okay with it. She got to kiss other men in order to affirm their relationship. Tino was expected to give his heart to her without knowing if she would reciprocate. Now back in the real world, Tino has choices again. There is no longer a power imbalance. So while him saying that he knew he loved her as soon as he cheated sounds horrifying, it was essentially the same thing Rachel was doing every time she needed “clarity” with another man. I mean heck, Tino had to watch Rachel tell Aven that she thought he was the one and was only sending him home because he refused to propose.

[@Ganychan]

I honestly didn't think it was that dramatic because the show spoiled itself with its "previews". Then I couldn't understand people were shocked, even though Jesse talked about Tino's "indiscretions" in the very opening of the show. Also, wth with the audience clapping at the proposal when clearly all of the above has been established + Rachel's face last week and this week during the live broadcast! Previews can be fun, but I couldn't believe we could easily tell that Hayden and Logan were leaving the show amidst drama, and worse, that Nate and Johnny would not make it. Finally, even without watching BF you could tell Rachel and Tino were final pick, but would somehow implode. By the time we finally watch the 136 hour long finale stretched over 2 years, it was boring and painful.

[@meggy0]

It does confuse me how people see Rachel as the bad guy. Tino came in so defensive and told her it was a 'tiny thing' and refused to give details. He started the tone of that conversation, Rachel just had to finish it. I feel like he's been around people who forgive cheaters his whole life and didn't think it was 'that bad'. I do feel like the show went too far with Aven coming out, but I would have gotten so mad if someone who cheated on me, came in on the offensive and trying to make me look bad.

[@meredithparkins4379]

What Tino did was WRONG. Period However, as with Aven also, Rachel had a narrative in her head. She could not listen to what either guy was saying to her regarding the particular situation because it did not fit what was going on in her mind. She could not get past the difference between what Aven told her and what Aven told her family, so she did not hear what Aven was trying so hard to say to her. At one point on the house couch Tino said, "Is there any way this works out?" The answer of course was, "No," because the narrative in Rachel's mind as she told us was that he could not even apologize, and yet I strongly suspect that if someone went back through those 3 hours and counted, Tino apologized maybe 10 times in one form or another. I have been married 38 years. There have been some bodacious, humdinger squabbles, but the way Rachel does it is NOT the way you sustain a relationship. You throw it out there. You hash it out, and it may not be lovely. Sometimes you are right. Sometimes the other person is right, but it does not go on and on and on and on, etc. Some resolution has to be made, and you move on. Until our Babygirl learns something about how to verbally squabble, she is never going to have anybody.

[@gillian1404]

Finally someone sees what I see with Rachel. There is no compromise with her. Tino was wrong but there was nothing he could do or say at that point. I feel like she causes the conversations to go in circles. Cause even when he was on stage, now agreeing with her, it still wasn't good enough. I feel like Rachel just wanted to blast him public over and over again.

Tino cheating was absolutely and wholeheartedly wrong. It was odd though... I found myself more annoyed by Rachel than by Tino last night. She seemed to be gaslighting him at the live ATFR. She is not a good communicator and doesn't know how to settle arguments. It came across like Tino was the calm adult in the scenario and Rachel was a toddler stomping her feet. And that thing with Aven... that was just terrible. So awkward and planned. Tino literally asked Jesse quietly if he could just leave. It was HORRIBLE.

Honestly I'm team Tino, the way he was treated in the finale was honestly evil. I understand Rachel being upset about him kissing someone, but to absolutely humiliate him in front of millions of people was not deserved. Clearly their relationship had TERRIBLE communication on both sides and seeing Rachel not even give Tino a chance to get a word in without yelling at him at the finale felt like a big red flag. She clearly had no intentions of ever forgiving him so to continually make him apologize and try to make amends just so she could belittle him was disgusting to watch. Rachel being upset is valid, but her talking to Tino like that really rubbed me the wrong way

[@ttaitt]

WOW. Love this channel but VEHEMENTLY disagree. I think that we can all agree that what Tino did was 100% wrong and that Rachel was right to break up with him. He was a bit frenzied, leaving the room repeatedly, and I was really with Rachel for awhile. I mean, if the dude can’t handle a rough patch without kissing someone else, he’s more than likely going to end up in bed with someone when things get more difficult, or even become a serial cheater. The infidelity is unacceptable. THAT SAID, I ended last night’s episode feeling awful for Tino and COMPLETELY OVER RACHEL. The way he was treated by her on ATFR was maddening. She kept asking him to explain, and accused him of providing no context. So he tried over and over again to contextualize, and EVERY SINGLE TIME the context included a reference to her that wasn’t 100% positive, she shot him down. He said that what he did was horrible and that he was deeply sorry for hurting her, and then he explained that some of her actions and words had hurt him. But NO - you are NOT allowed to say that Rachel did ANYTHING wrong or anything to hurt Tino. That is a cardinal sin. Tino wasn’t making excuses. She asked for an explanation, and the explanation involved his feelings of hurt at some of what had been directed at him by her. Even though she had said earlier in the episode that she was dealing with her own problems ASIDE from their relationship, that they may have caused her to not be as supportive of him as she could be, and that she went to therapy to deal with her issues - she still wasn’t willing to see that perhaps those issues had led her to behave in ways that caused Tino pain and pushed him away. The slightest mention of any of her words or actions being hurtful was met with “You’re putting this on MEEEEEEE????” Oh my god, grow up. Do you want the explanation? If not, that’s fine. But then stop asking for it and refusing to listen. Do you want to understand him? Or do want him to be solely the sinner and you to be solely the saint? I COMPLETELY understand her hurt and her anger. Completely. Tino was wrong, and he definitely should NOT have said that he shouldn’t have told her. NOT KOOL. I could see Tino’s frustration as he struggled to explain his hurt while being aware of the cameras - which he seemed to be shocked to see in the safe house - and aware as well as of the things that he knew Rachel would view as a betrayal if he said out loud. But he admitted that he said he shouldn’t have told her because he was afraid that his telling her would mean losing her, which is a very human, vulnerable way to feel. Tino, don’t kiss other people if you do want to lose your fiance. But also, Rachel, don’t bring him on stage pretending that you want an explanation - as if it could possibly change something - when all you seem to want to do is berate him publicly. It was SO frustrating watching him try SO MANY TIMES to explain why he did what he did, only to have her shut him up ANY TIME he presented her in a less-than-flattering light for even a nanosecond. It was clear that she didn’t want the audience to hear certain things, but kept demanding context that could not be provided without the sharing of those things. I was glad when he asked her what she wanted out of this conversation, because I had no idea. She invited him over because she wanted an explanation, but was willing to listen only to an explanation that rendered her completely innocent. I was also disgusted with how the entire AFTR audience seemingly sided with her immediately with apparently no nuanced insight whatsoever. She was right to be angry at the cheating. But her treatment of Tino as he tried to do what she requested - explain himself - was horrendous. If you don’t want him because he cheated, that’s beyond justified. But don’t say you want to talk to him only to kick him repeatedly when he tries to speak his piece and his perspective. I went into this season thinking that Rachel was perhaps not quite mature enough for this process, but liking her personality and believing that she seemed like a very sweet woman. I feel a bit differently now. I’m not suggesting that there aren’t wonderful things about her - I have no doubt that there are. But, to be frank, she kind of scares me. Two weeks ago, she gaslighted Zach by suddenly trying to sow doubt in mind about whether he was too young to get married - what??? - completely destabilizing him after saying she was falling in love with him. Last week, she accused Aven of yelling at her when he literally did NOTHING OF THE SORT, which was a red flag of GIANT proportions. That, to me, is someone who claim she was a victim of verbal abuse when it hasn't happened. This week, she sat there with a straight face and said that Tino had never said sorry when we literally saw him say it to her face MULTIPLE TIMES ON SCREEN. Then, when Jesse asked her if she and Tino had communicated at all since their conversation, she had to admit that he'd written her a letter apologizing. So that's ANOTHER demonstration of contrition and she's STILL claiming that he isn't sorry?? What the hell. I have really tried to like Rachel throughout the season - and at some moments really have - but what I'm seeing more and more is someone whose recollection of a story can't be depended upon as true. I mean, imagine if she'd come to you crying saying that Aven yelled at her -- and then you actually see the footage of him doing nothing of the kind. Or imagine her saying to you "He cheated on me and he's not even sorry and he keeps putting it ALL ON MEEEE!" -- and then you watched the footage and see Tino apologizing repeatedly and saying "This is not on you Rachel, I own this." She freaks me out with the ease which with she bends the truth, even on national television. How much would she bend it with no cameras?? I think that Tino needs to understand that cheating is not how you deal with hurt. But Rachel needs to do an enormous amount of self-reflection. If I were Aven, I’d think long and hard about pursuing something with her. I know that there is a lot of mutual fondness there. But there have been multiple moments this season where she has tried to portray herself as the aggrieved, with zero thought as to how her actions may have played a role in her own negative outcomes. I keep having to remind myself that she is only 26, and I hope that the next several years bring growth and hindsight that allows her to ponder how she might have handled this more maturely.

[@michaelsosa3677]

This is exactly my thoughts, surprised bachelor fantake was so biased, he usually is for the girls, but not to this extent. Maybe he will elaborate more when he grades the season. I liked Rachel so much last season, but this season, the episode on gabbys date when she cried that nobody looked at her, me and the wife instantly knew she was crazy. The gaslighting, the yelling part, the always the victim mentality, the me me me. She just isn't ready but maybe the producers knew that and made her the bachelorette with gabby cause they knew this would get messy. I'm kinda worried for Zach, because he seems like a genuine guy, and i think they might play to his awkward persona and girls rejecting him approach(as we already saw with them setting him up by remembering their names, embarrassing him).

What? Nothing excuses cheating. Nothing. Tino acknowledged that they were not on a break or broken up at any point and that they never even broke off the engagement. Also, Tino was the one that initially talked about going back to dating, and Rachel’s response was that she didn’t want to wear the ring at the live taping if Tino wanted them to go back to dating. He repeatedly lied to her, gaslit her, and tried to manipulate her. People have already sleuthed out on Instagram that Tino was talking with this girl he cheated with the moment he got back from filming making comments that absolutely are not ok to make while engaged. Just a thought, but that’s probably why she didn’t want to sleep with him after finding out. Then it turns out he deliberately messaged this girl to meet up with her at a bar while pretending like it was some chance encounter? And they left together? But “only kissing” happened? Yeah, no. Takes a really…shall we say, “out there” person to blame all of that on Rachel and pretend any of it is her fault. I’m getting really tired of seeing such internalized misogyny from the people in this franchise.

As he’s bringing her breakfast in bed she’ll be like “how dare you not wake me up when you got up”. And he’ll be like “but you told me you wanted to sleep”. And she’ll be like “are you saying I’m grumpy and need more sleep? Are you saying I can’t cook breakfast? Why are you saying I’m a bad cook?”. He’ll be like “I’m not saying that.

I wonder why Jason never got a hot seat segment during the finale? He’s final 2…😮

[@debrakelly1256]

I'm really upset that Jesse spoiled the show right at the beginning. I had no clue what he was talking about and stay spoiler free. Ugh!! Then seeing Gaby's ring when she was talking to Rachel

[@kcc-karenschroniccorner9432]

I’m wondering if maybe Tino wasn’t the “full package”.

[@wehavebeen7450]

You mean like Aven? Rachel's words not mine.

[@kcc-karenschroniccorner9432]

@@wehavebeen7450 yep lol

[@Downbythesee]

I wrote for Aven to RUN… and he came back. Why? Good luck. And good luck to Zach too. My god, production is going to screw him.

[@letsgobrandon987]

Tino was only into it to try to get the next Bachelor role - then when she sprung the whole you are the only one - he had that hilarious Oh Crap face. He hates that the poor acting cringey dork Zach outmaneuvered him.

[@CharHob30]

That's actually a pretty good theory...

[@oc2538]

Yes and he kept talking about the show like a game so many sport references. Once it wasn't a sport anymore he was screwed. The competition was over and his interest for her left.

[@CupcakeBeauty24]

@@oc2538 Ohhhh weeee I said the same thing. Rachel got played and Tino was never serious about her smh

[@miny4558]

What this channel left out which I was surprised he did is that. Tino didn’t want to go back to just dating after getting engaged Reality Steve has said that Racheal told Tino she didn’t want to be engaged anymore. She wanted to go back to just dating. Tino was upset about that and that’s why they were having a hard time I personally speculate that the reason Racheal went to therapy was because she was having a hard time grieving the other relationships. They eluded to this in my opinion. Tino said he knows it was hard for Racheal being the lead.

[@kriskrissss]

I think Tino was looking for an OUT. Desperately. I feel bad for Rachel with her editing, but she pulled a Claire and picked Tino on night one. He never wanted her back. She wanted to force it, so that's what she got, fakeness. Thank GOD for Gabby! I barely choked down these episodes bc of the hope she provided. She's gonna kill it on DWTS. Ps I'm already bored of Zach. And Jessie Palmer is a boring host. Ugh.

[@ibike825]

I’m not excited for Zach either cannot believe he forgot the names of the girls ! I could easily remember all 5! I get it he’s nervous but still come on !!

[@kriskrissss]

@@ibike825 production should have given him a heads up. Remember their names dude. I could at least remember Bailey, Brianna and Cat! I can't believe he said Bailynn. Lol

[@ashleym6454]

“The sound of the bird form Up” ahahah Kevin🥹

[@haleypearce]

But they also showed Gabby with an engagement ring on when she was talking to Rachel so we already knew 😅

[@stephanasmith7744]

Great job on a season that was hard to watch. I got most of my info from your recaps because the season was hard to be interested in.

[@thespibunny272]

First time I only watched the show thanks to your recaps. Thank you Bachelor Fantake for everything!

[@cait.francisco]

I’m only going to be watching Bachelor Fantake… I didn’t think I’d officially stop watching but I just can’t take it anymore. But excited to watch your fun recaps, BF ✨🙌🏻

[@justinenho]

i felt like tino was really manipulative trying to downplay the cheating by saying it's a "small thing." i hope rachel learned from this experience that maybe an engagement at the right time with the right person is better than settling with someone that had every red flag possible, but would propose. if her and aven work out, maybe he ends up being the right person and she gets the proposal she wants, but at the right time!

[@kaina2001]

My fellow Canadian, are you seeing the Justin Trudeau look alike in Tino in this Finale?? LOLL Thanks for my organic dose of dopamine !

[@laurend8140]

Ah I was thinking that too!

[@Bee-jq2yi]

The way he pulled out the notebook and gave her bullet points 😂😂you cannot make this shit up!

[@YoungxHeart]

I’m so glad about this account. I don’t have to waste my time watching this rapidly declining show but get the goss

[@vejensen103]

When production proposed this idea to Aven, he should have hung up. He saw how immature she is, why come back unless it was for the screen time but there is BIP for that.

[@oc2538]

I doubt they told Aven what would happen exactly

[@jeteaze]

thank you for that related office clip. it makes things so funny.

[@BluInfinity]

I think the context of ‘just a kiss’ also matters. Is it after a bad stretch in a 20 year marriage? Going to therapy and working it out is reasonable. A few months in? Quit. If his response to a tough time early on is to cheat, it’s not worth saving.

[@qhamaningwata7991]

I'm dying to know what Rachel didn't want Tino to reveal about their relationship👀👀👀 I mean, she basically threatened him?😅Cheating is bad but it seems like there's a huge chunk of the story missing🤔

[@annahayden]

She said she thought he didn’t want to talk about it on camera and in front of everyone. Then he interrupted about it. Then she asked if he wanted to talk about it, clearly ready to talk about it. And he adamantly and quickly said, “no, no!” Like? If anything she was “threatening” to air out that dirty laundry if Tino kept lying.

[@Christina-xc7on]

Same I'm SO curious!

[@bethr.2331]

I bet some sh*t went down with his family after they got engaged that really drove a wedge between them. His family not liking her was such a big storyline, but wasn’t mentioned at all in the finale. Seems suspicious to me

[@suzzylouloudougherty5237]

They were not compatible in bed

[@TheCarlinCoop]

Hahahaha when he had his shirt open!! Sooo weird and his facial expressions hahah

[@SunniDae333]

Okay so why are people saying Team Tino if he cheated on Rachel? Is it because she was really upset about it? I would be too if I were cheated on. I feel like I'm missing something here.

[@Bri-gy2lz]

Me too

[@moses9647]

The issue is it was obvious there was no shot at reconciliation and it seemed like Rachel just brought him on screen to drag him and regain her own self esteem. She wouldn't accept any form of apology he gave and had already decided he was lying about it being one kiss. If they handled it in private I don't think there's be a team Tino. But dragging this man like that only fueled the fire of Rachel being generally unlikeable.

[@_JS__]

I'm definitely not Team Tino, what he did was so wrong. But I am not Team Rachel, she just isn't a good communicator. She wanted to publicly crucify him, and she went HARD. The issue was he was calm and pacifying in most of his responses. It makes her look bad, to be honest.

[@bethr.2331]

@@moses9647 thank you. That is exactly how I feel, but didn’t know how to articulate it.

[@daniellemalik7585]

Ugh they keep choosing the wrong bachelors, I can’t stand Zach. I skipped over Clayton’s season and I’ll probably skip Zach’s.

[@simplyem.]

Sameee

[@Jaxxon123]

Give him a chance. I think he'll be decent.

[@rachelrlh03]

Also Rachel said that Aven did NOT want it to go down that way with him walking out with Tino there and Aven was super upset they made him do it that way.

[@wehavebeen7450]

I saw somewhere that Aven showing up was scripted.

[@debbiecharles7912]

Aven could have stood his ground and said no. He is an adult for crying out loud. Yes production would have pushed this for sure, but he didn't have to do it, he chose to and should take responsibility for that.
