Shocking "Bachelor" Finale Leaves Some Asking If the Show Went Too Far
Bachelor Nation is in full-on crisis mode after the shocking season finale. Us Weekly's Emily Longeretta joins Cheddar to discuss why some fans are saying ABC went too far with its latest twist. The last episode saw Arie Luyendyk Jr. propose to--and then break up with--fiancee Becca Kufrin so he could rekindle his relationship with runner-up Lauren Burnham.
