At the beginning of every new season of The Bachelor (of which there have been 19 so far — and 11 seasons of The Bachelorette), host Chris Harrison teases us with the exact same words: “Stay tuned for the most dramatic season of The Bachelor ever!” Although the words have started to sound a bit…err…trite, amazingly, Harrison never disappoints. Whether it’s due to inspired casting or producers’ hushed-up involvement, The Bachelor truly has gotten crazier and crazier with each new season, leading us to produce a list of the Top 7 Fall-Off-The-Couch Moments in Bachelor history!
7. Andi Dorfman Tells Camera That Her Overnight With Juan Pablo Was A Disaster
Along with being a total fall-off-the-couch shocker, this had to be one of the most satisfying moments ever on The Bachelor. Venezuelan soccer player dad Juan Pablo quickly fell out of favor with female viewers once it became clear he was far more in love with himself than with any of the women on the show. His seeming inability to have a real conversation with anyone and his attempts to deflect from this deficiency by constantly going in for kisses and repeating his catchphrase “It’s OK,” ad nauseam, were irritating to say the least. So when, after spending the night together in the Fantasy Suite as one of the last three women remaining, Andi went on camera to say the night was a disaster — especially after Juan Pablo had just finished telling the camera he thought it went very well — Andi completely redeemed herself as being one of the smartest Bachelor contestants ever. Smart enough to recognize what a cad Juan Pablo was — and the ensuing scene where she confronted him about his egotistical, insensitive ways resounded with other intelligent women everywhere.
