The premise of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette has stayed the same since the ABC dating series began in 2002, but not all of the contestants have played by the rules.
In fact, the ABC franchise has seen its fair share of individuals cut their journeys for love short before making it to the final rose ceremony, including four women during Colton Underwood’s season 23.
Underwood’s final pick in 2019, Cassie Randolph, even tried to bail before he confessed that she was The One.
Several years prior, Andi Dorfman opted to end her Bachelor journey during the season 18 fantasy suites. When Juan Pablo Galavis tried to reassure Andi that “it’s OK” — which was his catchphrase during the season — she shut him down before heading home.
“It shouldn’t just be OK. It’s not OK. When you say it’s OK, it bothers me,” Andi, who went on to become the season 10 Bachelorette, said at the time. “I want to die if I have to hear ‘It’s OK’ again. I can’t handle it!”
