Colton Underwood promised to be a different Bachelor this season, coming into the season as a virgin. (It's true! He had never had sex before! Not sure if the show had mentioned that at all.) And, in the end, Underwood lived up to this promise. He made an unusual decision on part one Season 23 finale, breaking down in tears often and taking both viewers and Chris Harrison aback. Like, way aback. For what reason? What did Colton decide? Scroll down for all the delicious details! 1. Cassie or Bust! As nearly all Internet users knew heading into the finale, Colton lost it a week prior after Cassie said she didn’t love him and wanted to go home. He jumped a fence and disappeared into the night, leaving Chris Harrison and company confused and in a panic. 2. Quote of the Century? “We called back to Los Angeles… and we woke up other executive producers and executives and said, ‘This is what’s happening. What do we do?’ and they said, ‘At some point, you’re gonna have to call the authorities,'” Harrison said on air of Colton bolting. “Luckily as we were about [to call the cops], someone’s walkie talkie clips.” (Ummmm… you were gonna call the cops and say what?!? A grown man was walking outside by himself? Please help?) 3. I’m F-cking Done! When finally tracked down by producers on the finale, Colton told Harrison that he was “done” with the show because Cassie’s rejection reminded him that he is “not enough.” 4. What About Tayshia and Hannah G? You know, the two women remaining on the finale? Colton said they were cool and all and he was maybe falling in love with them — but he was ALREADY in love with Cassie. And he wanted to fight for her! 5. Sorry, Ladies So Colton went out and made history: he dumped both of the women remaining! He chose to enter part two of the finale (airing on Tuesday night) with zero suitors because his heart was set on winning Cassie back. 6. How Did Tayshia Take It? Very well. She wasn’t happy about Colton’s decision, but she also said some nice things about The Bachelor before leaving Portugal. View Slideshow
If you watched the first two-hour installment of The Bachelor season finale on Monday night, then you learned two important things: The show’s producers have figured out a way to drag this thing out to an absurd degree, and Colton is all-in when it comes to Cassie Randolph. Last week, Colton got dumped by Cassie (Fun fact: He’s the most-dumped bachelor in the show’s history!) and in response, he hopped a fence — with impressive upper body strength — and took off into the wilds of Portugal. This week, Colton kicked both Tayshia and Hannah G to the curb in order to focus on winning back Cassie — who, again, had just dumped him. We all knew Colton’s fantasy suite week would probably feature considerably less sexy-time than past seasons, but we didn’t think dude would end up just as single and virginal as when he started! At times, it was tough to figure out what the Colton was thinking. But in a new interview with People , Underwood makes it clear that there was just one thing going through his mind — Cassie. “I had to fight for Cassie,” the ex-football player tells the magazine. “I was ready to end the show.” Colton says once he poured his heart out for Cassie, he knew there was only one path forward. “Once I had the conversation with Cassie, my mind was made up. I was either going to leave by myself, or I was leaving with her,” he says. As for sending Tayshia and Hannah packing, Colton says he did as much for their sake as for his own. “I had to do what was right, and what was best for them, and that was to have that tough conversation,” he tells People. “The game was changed in a way,” “I knew I could walk away heartbroken,” says the Bachelor star. “But I had to fight for Cassie.” Colton seems like a decent fella and all, but he’s definitely guilty of sugar-coating some heaping spoonfuls of BS. We don’t doubt the sincerity of his feelings toward Cassie, but after the famous dump-and-jump scene, it’s not like he could have gone back and tried his luck with Tayshia or Hannah. Imagine if he had to watch the Cassie breakup with one of the other women, having recently proposed to her . We’re guessing that wouldn’t have gone over to well with either Hannah or Tayshia. Colton might not always be the brightest bulb when it comes to his love life. But even he has the foresight to anticipate a disaster like that.

Well, that was awkward. Like, very, very, very, VERY awkward, even for Colton Underwood, someone who has proven himself to not exactly be the most smooth and natural Bachelor in series history. On the latest episode of this ABC hit, Colton initially flashed back to previous episodes. That’s because the last three women who Underwood sent packing all warned him against some of the suitors remaining. “That’s three people who had the same thing to say while saying goodbye to me: ‘You’re a smart guy, trust your gut,’” Colton recalled early on last night, adding: “What the f-ck? That’s like, my ultimate fear in all of this. I’m confident in the decisions that I make, I just don’t want to make a mistake. “And from here on out, every decision that I make is bigger and means more.” It’s true. The most famous virgin on television in getting closer and closer to picking his wife. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Spoilers: Colton’s Choice, Stunning Final Rose Aftermath REVEALED! [Updated] Needing some assistance in this department, Colton headed to Denver and met up with a man who can relate to his struggles: former Bachelor star Ben Higgins. Clearly confused over the “multiple” women with whom he was falling in love, Colton was told to really dig deeply into these women; to really try and understand them. This led him to talking candidly with Tayshia on their one-on-one cate, assuring her that he had no concerns about her. But Tayshia called out Caelynn and Cassie – who, back at the mansion, insisted that they were NOT the ones in this for the wrong reasons – and claimed they were only using Colton to try and become the next Bachelorette. That’s, like, the cardinal sin of being a Bachelor suitor. Tayshia warned Colton later that her father would be hesitant to see her in another relationship after her divorce. Nevertheless, he still gave her a rose, cool with the fact that he’d need to get father’s blessing prior to any proposal. After this sweet act, Colton said he could absolutely envision Tayshia as his wife. But could Colton say the same about Caelynn, considering Tayshia’s allegations that she only cared about getting rich and famous? Colton went right ahead and confronted Caelynn her about this claim. Caelynn argued that such statements “completely fabricated” and that she was “100 percent ready” for marriage. She even called Tayshia a “stupid bitch” to the cameras. After Caelynn told Colton she was falling in love with him , he reciprocated these same feelings and gave her a rose. The next day, Caelynn went after Tayshia, telling her that she thought their friendship was a lie, prompting Tayshia to defend her assertions to Colton and to say that everyone in the house believed Caelynn and Cassie didn’t deserve to stick around. Things were growing intense as we went to the group date, on which yet another woman took the initiative and dumped Colton. This time, as teased in previous The Bachelor spoilers , it was Heather who told Underwood she wasn’t ready for him to meet her family, thereby eliminating herself from the competition. Colton didn’t seem too broken up about her departure, though. He admitted instead that Cassie was still his biggest worry – although she defended herself when asked about all the trash Tayshia had been talking. All it really took was for Cassie to say they were lies and for Colton to totally believe her. Kirpa tried to say differently, though. She also slammed Caelynn and Cassie for their motives, leading to yet another argument between suitors when Cassie found out about Kirpa’s declaration and called her an “idiot.” Watch The Bachelor Season 23 Episode 7 Online In the end, Colton gave the two group date roses to Hannah G. and, yes, Cassie – with whom he said he was falling in love; that makes three women on this episode alone – after Caelynn showed up to defend the latter. Kirpa was given the boot. Finally, Colton took Hannah B. home to meet his parents. She told Colton’s mom that she was totes in love with her son, while Colton expressed trepidation to his dad. This was, like, the one person on the show he apparently could not see himself marrying. Later in the evening, Colton admitted to Hannah B. the feelings simply weren’t there… so away she went for good. The Bachelor Finale Trailer: Tears, Terror and … the Truth?
On last Monday's intense episode of The Bachelor , Colton Underwood walked away and seemed to quit the show. He didn't really , of course, but ABC did conclude the installment by fading to black before even airing a rose ceremony, telling fans the storyline would “be continued” this week. Those were the circumstances under which we turned in to The Bachelor yesterday, curious about Colton and where his mind is at these days. But we ended this episode with thoughts about two suitors instead, following their historic decision to truly quit the show. These choices have been teased in our ongoing The Bachelor spoilers section, but you need to scroll down to see how they actually played out… 1. We Started This Week with a Rose Ceremony Gotta make up for not showing it last week, right? Almost right off the bat, Onyeka is sent packing after her explosive fight with Nicole in Miami. 2. What About Nicole? She got the early boot, too, of course. 3. We Move to the Group Date… The women competed in martial arts prior to going to a party, at which Sydney confronted Colton about giving other women more opportunities than her. 4. Why No One-on-One Date? Colton had no answer for Sydney. It’s not like he even picks who is rewarded with these outings. “I feel like ever since someone’s like, ‘Hey, you’re The Bachelor,’ it’s a lot of pressure. Everybody expects me to have everything figured out, and I don’t. I don’t have it figured out,” Colton told Sydney during this emotional chat. “I’m not naive to the fact that there’s other people here and I know every relationship is so different.” 5. Here’s the Thing, Though “My fear is that with the choices that you’ve been making, you are taking a lot of the easier choices with the people that you are pursuing. If that’s what you’re looking for, great,” Sydney told Colton candidly. 6. More from Sydney “I’m kind of at a crossroads because I want something real and I want something magical and I want everything that you’re looking for.” View Slideshow
Jennifer Lawrence has struck a deal with a very special high-end art dealer: She has agreed to marry him! Indeed, according to multiple outlets, the Oscar-winning actress is now engaged to someone named Cooke Maroney. (We guess she isn’t so gross after all, huh, Lala Kent? ) The 28-year old actress was spotted out and about in New York City over the weekend wearing what Page Six described as a “massive ring” while dining at Raoul’s, an upscale French restaurant. “It was a giant rock. They seemed like they were celebrating and people were talking about it,” a source told this section of The New York Post, adding: “The ring was very noticeable. They were sitting back in a corner. She was wearing a cute black dress with white polka dots.” A few days prior to this outing, Lawrence and Maroney were seen in The Big Apple’s West Village, also looking like two people very much in love. News of Lawrence and Maroney’s romance went viral in June of 2018, making this a semi-fast engagement. They’ve only been dating for about six or seven months. The two were subsequently spotted together in Paris, Rome and New York on multiple occasions, with one insider saying the following to Us Weekly about the relationship: “They definitely appear to be in it for the long haul. “Cooke plays very coy when speaking about her to his friends and colleagues. He is clearly smitten about her.” The beloved Hunger Games star was previously linked to Nicholas Holt from 2011 to 2014… Chris Martin in 2015 … and director Darren Aronofsky from 2016 to 2017. This bombshell report now raises a very obvious question to readers and fans: Who the heck is Cooke Maroney? A few facts about the future Mr. Jennifer Lawrence: – As mentioned above, he works as an art dealer. Specifically, he works at the Gladstone 64 gallery in New York’s Upper East Side — and one of the gallery’s biggest clients is Lena Dunham’s artist father, Carroll Dunham. – His parents own a farm. For real! According to Cosmopolitan, Cooke’s mom and dad, James Maroney and Suki Fredericks, own Oliver Hill Farm in Vermont, where he grew up. – He isn’t the jealous type. This is just an assumption, but Lawrence brought Maroney as her date to the September premiere of The Favourite, the Oscar-nominated movie that stars her ex, Hoult. But Lawrence has said on record that she remains close to all of her exes. “I don’t think that you can have any sort of bad relationship with anybody if you’re just blunt,” she told Marc Maron on a podcast in February 2018. “Everybody always knows how you feel at all times and there’s no lying, it’s just honesty. Everybody’s a good guy to each other. … Every time I go through a breakup, it’s not like my heart isn’t broken. They just never did anything to like, devastate me. They were just good people.” Well, she’ll never go through a breakup again. Hopefully. Congrats to Cooke Maroney and Jennifer Lawrence!
Things are finally heating up on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor . And I’m not just talking about Colton and Cassie’s intimate make-out sesh in the ocean, which we all uncomfortably witnessed Monday night. Even Cassie’s dad! The Californian native shared a story to her Instagram, zooming in on her father who was sitting in front of the TV watching every obnoxious, yet charming kiss. Awkward? I think so. But honestly, before Cassie scored that one-on-one date in Thailand, the show was bland, to say the least. While most of the girls are successful at coming up with bullsh-t drama, we’re ready for something way more exciting… the magic of true (televised) love! And… I think we’re getting there. The former football star tells ET’s Leanne Aguilera of ABC’s Winter Television Critics Association that we should all prepare ourselves for the finale. Consider us warned. But come on, it can’t be any crazier than Arie Luydendyk Jr.’s shocking season where he literally switched girls after popping the question. According to Colton, however, his ending has got it beat and is “going to take a while to process.” That’s fine. What else would you be doing on your Monday night besides drinking wine and conversing over trash TV? Let’s be real, it’s our favorite sport. “As the weeks progress, it gets more real and more real, and I think not only for me but for these women too,” shares Colton. 12 women are left to compete over the 26-year-old’s heart… and yep, still his virginity . But calm down, we still have three more episodes until fantasy suites where Colton can choose to spend the night with his four final contestants. Colton gets us excited for the following episodes by claiming his ending is “unlike anything else” and that we are all in for a “wild ride.” The Bachelor stud also opens up about how emotional this season really gets, sharing that he even decided to leave the series at one point. The two-night finale will air on March 11 and 12. Colton wrapped it up by saying, “we will see what I’m shouting at the end off the rooftops, but I hope at the end of it, you can know that I’m happy. So we’ll see.” Maybe we should be preparing ourselves for the dreaded outcome that Colton may choose no one? But, what’s the fun in that?

The Bachelor has entered virgin territory for Season 23. We mean this literally, because Colton Underwood is a virgin . However, based on an interview the ABC star gave on Monday night to Jimmy Kimmel, it sure sounds as if something has changed for the former football player. It sounds like he has finally entered… a woman. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, Colton was grilled about his sexual experience, considering it's basically all producers want to focus on these days. “We keep hearing you're a virgin, but you've probably had sex 185 times by now,” Kimmel joked to Underood, impyling the Bachelor must have gotten hot and heavy with suitors in the Fantasy Suite. Right?!? Colton simply offered a coy smile in response and replied: “I don't know. I don't know what to say.” “I feel like for the longest time with 'The Bachelor,' it's been known for a journey for love,” he added. “I think they're trying to angle it somewhere else this season.” Yes, we know. But has Colton had sex or not?!? “I will say the fantasy suite was the most pivotal week of my journey…yes I made it to that week,” he told Kimmel. Now, we've heard the same thing. If you read these Bachelor spoilers , you'll note that something does happen in a Fantasy Suite that changes things for Underwood in a major way. What could this possibly mean except that one of the finalists took his V-Card? Underwood previously teased that he actually quit the show at one point. In a preview for Season 23, viewers saw Colton actually run away and leap over a fence. “It's tough for me, like I don't want you to take it out of of context, that jump is very meaningful,” he told Kimmel yesterday. “I will say at that moment I was done.” Colton came back, though, of course. But the question remains: Did he come in another sense inside the Fantasy Suite? We say yes. And we'll soon find out for certain.
Colton Underwood is a virgin. Did you know that? ABC continued to hype this fact about its Season 23 star on the three-hour premiere episode Monday night, which featured Colton kissing two women and sending home seven more. “I’m the first virgin Bachelor and it’s crazy to even think about that,” Underwood said early on. “I couldn’t be more hopeful and excited.” Did his 30 suitors feel the same way, however? How did they approach the fact that he's never slid his throbbing unit inside of any private parts? Scroll down for everything you ever wanted to know about this lengthy season premiere — and visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers to see who actually wins… 1. Ready to Meet the Ladies After the usual kind of introduction — which, yes, focused heavily on both Colton’s former football career and his virginity – Chris met up with Colton outside of the mansion to meet his many suitors. 2. They Were Ready to Swipe That V Card “If I was the person that Colton gave his virginity to, I would definitely bring out all the tricks,” said Onyeka, an IT risk consultant from Dallas, Texas, at one point. 3. Et Tu, Demi? Added this suitor: “I know that he’s a virgin, which is kind of concerning. If you only ever have a vanilla cupcake, well how do you know you don’t like chocolate? How do you know you don’t like strawberry? I feel like you have to try out all the cupcakes first to know what you really want. I’m the damn confetti cake.” 4. Okay. On to the Arrivals! There was Caelynn — who currently holds the title of Miss North Carolina 2018 – wore her sash and everything! 5. Yup, She’s a Sloth There was Alex D., who dressed in a head-to-toe sloth costume (because Colton likes to take things “slowly.” Really. This was her reasoning.) and was so very into it that her arrival took up about half the premiere. 6. Pulled Over for Lameness There was Tracy, who showed up in a cop cruise because she was the self-proclaimed fashion police. Wow, huh? The sloth costume may have made more sense. View Slideshow
