You’d think being 28 I’d be semi-used to having to confront my exes (see: unwanted Peruvian guest last year) but it’s still something I don’t think anyone, can prepare for. Heading intoMen Tell AllI was on-edge. As much as I was ready to see SOME of the men who came on this crazy adventure, I was still so nervous to see what was in store. Some of these men I truly fell for, some left on bad terms, and some hearts I broke…and I had no idea how they – or I – would react when we were on the same stage together.
Now contrary to what people might think, I am not privy to any of the conversations that went down between the guys and Chris Harrison prior to me coming on stage. I came out blind to the drama that unfolded and felt like I was walking into the Lion’s den. But the second I saw the guys again I had the weirdest feeling – comfort. I knew there would be some hard questions asked, but I had such a great group of guys and as soon as I saw their faces, I was reminded of what I loved about each one of them. I truly tried to treat every man on this journey how I would want to be treated, so I couldn’t imagine it being too tough. But did I speak too soon?

Seeing some familiar and not-so familiar faces again was exciting and strange. Even though I sent Joe home the first night, I was pumped to see him again. What most people don’t know is that I randomly ran into Joe back in June when I was in Chicago and had time to actually talk and get to know him better. He is an amazing man who I’m glad to still have been able to meet. And speaking of familiar faces, Jake from Minneapolis was there for our 5th time meeting. Hi again, Jake!

I was not prepared for the moment when Jean Blanc asked to come on the stage, and quite frankly, my stomach dropped with how this interaction would go. I obviously hadn’t seen him since that day in Utah where I began to question the men’s motives, and to be honest, I still don’t know if Jean Blanc really understands how he handled that situation. Having him give me another bottle of perfume left me scratching my head a little, but I’m happy he apologized. As much as I appreciated Jean’s apology, there was one more that blew all other apologies out of the water. Once again, Chris nailed it with the choir and the lyrics. We all make mistakes, and Chris went out of his way to fix his in a really fun and charming way with humor and music which is kinda my thing. So Chris, apology accepted! Now onto the one man who caused quite a stir this season…Jordan. Who – no surprises here – showed up in his golden undies. Also, please don’t forget, I was the one who gave him those in the first place, so clearly it didn’t bother me that much.This journey is anxiety-filled, so to have someone there who could joke and give moments of levity was so needed for me. And, Jordan, I think I speak for Bachelor Nation when I say we need to see this acclaimed portfolio.
For a night that was filled with tears, laughter, tough questions and a walk down memory lane, it went way better than expected. I have nothing but gratitude for these men even though we went through one huge unconventional journey, and I wish them nothing but the best. I wouldn’t change the weeks or overall experience for anything. These men taught me so much about them, about myself and about the world. Thank you to all 28 guys who came on this journey with me and brought so much vibrancy, and a little drama, to my life.
Thanks for reading and supporting me through this crazy, whirlwind romance.
Xoxo,
Becca
