As we get ready for Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams’ season of The Bachelorette airing Tuesday, we can’t help but think about all the drama we’re about to be in for. Every year, Chris Harrison promises it will be the most dramatic season ever — but up until the last few episodes of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, or Bachelor in Paradise, we can never quite tell if he’s telling the truth. See, all the real drama comes at the end of the Bachelor franchise shows: when real emotions are involved, a proposal’s on the line, and our leads are facing some life-changing decisions. With millions watching, many have stumbled at the finish line, second-guessing their first choices or choking on delivery. The result? The most dramatic splits in Bachelor Nation history.
Now, there’s no one way to do a perfect dramatic reality TV breakup, and Bachelor and Bachelorette contestants have been careful to give us a variety of high-stakes splits to choose from. There’s Clare Crawley’s famous speech breaking things off with Juan Pablo Galavis, where she lists everything wrong with him and storms off in a fury. There’s Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s baffling choice to air his post-engagement breakup with an unsuspecting Becca Kufrin, who then sobbed through the house begging the cameras to leave her alone.
For reality shows that are often accused of being overly scripted or fake, these dramatic breakups offer a moment when it seems clear that at least one party had no idea what was coming next — and their unfiltered reaction leads to some serious grab-your-popcorn drama. From last-minute indecision to past secrets being revealed, here are all the most dramatic Bachelor, Bachelorette, and Bachelor in Paradise breakups of all time.
