Who's Really To Blame For This Chaotic Season Of ‘The Bachelor?'

After watching the season finale, can we really say it is all Peter's fault?

With the latest season of 'The Bachelor' coming to a close this week, viewers would agree that this was the most unpredictable season yet.

The season finale left the audience in shock. Peter is getting a lot of hate for the way he handled everything, but I don't think it's fair to automatically point fingers at him.

Hannah Ann

Bachelor Nation definitely had their hearts with Hannah after seeing the Tuesday finale events unravel. I, and most audience members, completely agree with her hatred towards Peter. She is absolutely right that he should not have proposed to her when he clearly also loved Madison. However, I think it is reasonable to argue her fault in the situation as well. Hannah Ann should have never said yes to that proposal, and I think she only did because that is what was expected of her. Granted, Peter should have been more honest about his feelings, but he did tell her that Madison left the show two days earlier. Personally, I would have a few more follow up questions before saying yes to marriage.

Chris Harrison

The beloved Bachelor/Bachelorette host played quite a significant role in the conclusion of this season. After Hannah Ann and Peter's engagement failed, Chris went to Alabama to essentially persuade Maddie to get back together with Peter. Although Chris's matchmaker games resulted in Peter and Maddie getting back together, it raised some questions. It has been 3 months at this point since Maddie and Peter have seen one another and neither tried to contact the other even though they still apparently had feelings. So would Peter and Maddie be together if Chris had not interjected? And did he do all of this just to get a dramatic reality TV ending? We love you Chris, but let them figure out their own shit.

Barbara Weber

I don't think a family member has ever caused as much turmoil on 'The Bachelor' than the infamous Barb. Known for her delirious crying and obsession with Hannah Ann, she also brutally ridiculed Madison in the season finale. Bachelor Nation has been left wondering if Peter's decision to propose to Hannah Ann was largely impacted by his mother's opinion. I don't think Peter was ever fully ready to commit to Hannah Ann when his relationship with Madison remained unresolved, but family will cause you to do some unexpected (and not always right) things.


Peter has clearly made a lot of mistakes this season but it is clear that he cannot be entirely to blame. He has received a lot of backlash from Bachelor Nation, but this finale really proved how seriously he was taking the show and how many factors were involved in its conclusion.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
