The latest season of The Bachelors wrapped up on Wednesday night following disastrous ratings.
The leading men, Wesley Senna Cortes, Ben Waddell and Luke Bateman, all made their final decisions in an emotional finale that would’ve moved the few fans who tuned in.
Wes, who is a virgin and a devout Christian, had his heart broken by country girl Brea after asking her to be his girlfriend.
‘I know I have so much to learn when it comes to relationships,’ the Brazilian-born hunk said.
‘But if you are willing, I’d love for this relationship to be one that defies the odds. Brea, would you like to be my girlfriend?’

Despite his pleas, Brea decided that they were just too different to make things work outside of the show.
‘You make me smile from ear to ear, but that’s not enough for me right now,’ she said.
‘I don’t want to start a relationship on the foundation that I am compromising everything that is important to me in a relationship.’
The split ultimately came down to intimacy, with Wes refusing to even share the same bed as Brea until they were married.

In an interview with Refinery29 after the finale aired, Brea admitted that she had no regrets about her harsh decision.
‘If I hadn’t spoken up, I could be in a relationship with someone I’m not compatible with, or an unhappy relationship,’ she said.
Elsewhere in the finale, retired rugby player Luke Bateman professed his love to blonde beauty therapist Ellie.

‘I once told you that I’ve only ever felt this way towards someone twice in my life, I now realise that was a lie,’ he told.
‘Ellie, I’ve never felt the way I do for you, for anyone else,’ he continued, as he offered her a commitment ring but declined to propose.
Ben Waddell was the last one to make his pick, with the environmental ambassador choosing McKenna over Angela.
Angela was far from impressed with his decision, snapping to producers, ‘No disrespect to McKenna, but Ben made a huge mistake. Good luck, you’ll need it.’
