10. JoJo and Ben

Worst line: "I wish I could hate him ... I was getting my heart broken and I still did not want to see him cry".

Poor JoJo, we were all rooting for her. This finale was extra difficult because Ben broke the rule where he was not allowed to tell a contestant if he was in love with them not once, but twice. JoJo had no clue that he also told Lauren and walked into the final rose ceremony thinking she had this one in the bag.

9. Carly and Kirk

Worst line: "I want to go home I don't want to have this conversation."

This Bachelor in Paradise break up was upsetting solely because Carly and Kirk were by far one of the strongest couples. We really thought they had a chance of making it out of paradise and into the real world. But, Carly did find love in the next season of Bachelor in Paradise with Even.

8. Andi and Josh

Worst line: "The most volatile relationship of my life".

It seemed like these two Georgia natives were the perfect couple. It was clear from the moment Josh Murray walked out of the limo that this is who Andi was going to pick. But, the relationship fell apart and Andi wrote a scathing tell-all detailing just how horrible he was.

7. Clare and Juan Pablo

Worst line: “I would never want my children having a father like you”

Juan Pablo’s season was infamous for all of the girls ganging up against him in the end because he was a true jerk. We thought a break up could not be better than Andi’s infamous “No, it’s not okay.” But, Clare one-upped her with a fiery speech about just how much of a scumbag Juan Pablo is.


6. Jake and Vienna

Worst line: “You are the fakest person I have ever met in my life.” (Vienna walks off)

This relationship was a true hot mess and even now we are not sure who is at fault. Jake and Vienna could not even last til the After the Final Rose ceremony. Instead, it was dedicated to them insulting each other back and forth and Vienna crying a lot. Bachelor franchises milked this for all it was and made the upcoming season of Bachelor Pad focused on all this drama.

5. Bentley and Ashley

Worst line: “I am going to make Ashley cry, I hope my hair looks okay”

Bentley was a true villain. From the beginning, he commented off camera how he did not find Ashley attractive and overall found her annoying. Poor Ashley was totally falling for him and blindsided by his bad guy behavior.


4. Andi and Nick

Worst line: “Why did you make love to me if you weren’t in love with me?”

On the After the Final Rose, runner-up Nick Viall confronts Andi on live television about why she slept with him if she was going to pick Josh Murray. Andi was furious he talked about what happened in the Fantasy Suite on national television. But, both got their last laugh. Andi went on to write a tell all and Nick became the Bachelor.

3. Melissa and Jason

Worst line: "You're such a bast---."

On the After the Final Rose, Jason realized he made a mistake and picked the wrong girl. He breaks up with Melissa on live television to say that his heart has always belonged to Molly. Ouch.

2. Desiree and Brooks

Worst line: “I didn’t want to share my heart, I wanted to give it to you”

This was named the LONGEST break up in Bachelor history. Desiree really had her heart set on picking Brooks. The audience is forced to watch as she begs and pleads for him to love her only for Brooks to admit he’s not in love with her.

1. Rachel and Peter

Worst line: “I walked past her eyelashes for two days”

The break-up sure sounded a lot like settling. Rachel threw away a real genuine connection with Peter because she NEEDED to get engaged to a guy she had known for a total of five dates. Nothing was more heartbreaking than watching Peter sob backstage re-watching the break up and feel attacked by Rachel and Chris Harrison. Don’t worry Peter, the rest of the world loves you.

Something happened today that I never thought in a million years would happen. I opened up a drawer at my parents' house and I found my pink, 4th generation iPod Nano. I had not seen this thing since I graduated from the 8th grade, and the headphones have not left my ears since I pulled it out of that drawer. It's funny to me how music can take you back. You listen to a song and suddenly you're wearing a pair of gauchos, sitting on the bleachers in a gym somewhere, avoiding boys at all cost at your seventh grade dance. So if you were around in 2007 and feel like reminiscing, here is a playlist straight from the iPod of a middle schooler in 2007.

My AP Environmental Science Class' Cookie Mining Experiment Shows Why Capitalism Is Destroying The Planet

Who cares about the environment with profits this high?

With the AP exams in May approaching quickly, my AP Environmental Science class has wasted no time in jumping right into labs. To demonstrate the damage to the environment done by strip mining, we were instructed to remove the chocolate chips from cookies.

The experiment in itself was rather simple. We profited from fully or partially extracted chips ($8 for a full piece and $4 for a partial) and lost from buying tools, using time and area and incurring fines.

This might seem simplistic, but it showcased the nature of disastrous fossil fuel companies.

We were fined a $1 per minute we spent mining. It cost $4 per tool we bought (either tweezers or paper clips) and 50 cents for every square centimeter of cookie we mined.

Despite the seemingly overbearing charges compared to the sole way to profit, it was actually really easy to profit.

If we found even a partial chocolate chip per minute, that's $3 profit or utilization elsewhere. Tools were an investment that could be made up each with a partial chip, and clearly we were able to find much, much more than just one partial chip per tool.

Perhaps the most disproportionally easiest thing to get around were the fines. We were liable to be fined for habitat destruction, dangerous mining conditions with faulty tools, clutter, mess and noise level. No one in the class got fined for noise level nor faulty tools, but we got hit with habitat destruction and clutter, both of which added up to a mere $6.

We managed to avoid higher fines by deceiving our teacher by pushing together the broken cookie landscapes and swiping away the majority of our mess before being examined for fining purposes. This was amidst all of our cookies being broken into at least three portions.

After finding many, many chips, despite the costs of mining, we profited over $100. We earned a Franklin for destroying our sugary environment.

We weren't even the worst group.

It was kind of funny the situations other groups simulated to their cookies. We were meant to represent strip mining, but one group decided to represent mountaintop removal. Mountaintop removal is where companies go to extract resources from the tops of mountains via explosions to literally blow the tops off. This group did this by literally pulverizing their cookies to bits and pieces with their fists.

They incurred the maximum fine of $45. They didn't profit $100, however.

They profited over $500 dollars.

In the context of our environmental science class, these situations were anywhere from funny to satisfying. In the context of the real world, however, the consequences are devastating our environment.

Without even mentioning the current trajectory we're on approaching a near irreversible global temperature increase even if we took drastic measures this moment, mining and fracking is literally destroying ecosystems.



We think of earthquakes as creating mass amounts of sudden movement and unholy deep trenches as they fracture our crust. With dangerous mining habits, we do this ourselves.

Bigger companies not even related to mining end up destroying the planet and even hundreds of thousands of lives. ExxonMobil, BP? Still thriving in business after serial oil spills over the course of their operation. Purdue Pharma, the company who has misled the medical community for decades about the effects of OxyContin and its potential for abuse, is still running and ruining multitudes more lives every single day.

Did these companies receive fines? Yes.

But their business model is too profitable to make the fines have just about any effect upon their operation.

In our cookie mining simulation, we found that completely obliterating the landscape was much more profitable than being careful and walking on eggshells around the laws. Large, too-big-to-fail companies have held the future of our planet in their greedy paws and have likewise pulverized our environment, soon enough to be unable to return from.
