After a week off for the star-spangled holidays, The Bachelorette returns as Rachel and the remaining contestants waltz around Europe. Last week, Rachel cut a lot of higher profile guys, so it was nice to see filler dudes like Matt and Adam (HONESTLY, WHO ARE THESE MEN?) get cut. We’re down to a pretty predictable final four with Peter, Bryan, Dean, and Eric ahead of next week’s hometown dates and viewers are left with quite the dilemma: Peter and Rachel have the best chemistry, but Peter is also the only one remaining who would make a compelling Bachelor next season.
Peter raised a few red flags (for the show. Admirable quality for real life.) by admitting that he wouldn’t propose if it didn’t feel right, but Rachel kept him around anyway. It’s safe to say that Twitter was divided.

I will never forgive ABC for making me think that Peter didn't want to stay on the show. #TheBachelorette pic.twitter.com/dJpkpYCViW

Peter has greyed more during #thebachelorette than Pres Obama did in eight years.

However, people were a little more puzzled when Matt and Adam were sent home complete with tears and dramatic statements of affection. After absolutely zero screen time, this felt super weird.
Matt in his 4 minutes of airtime seems like a super decent guy #TheBachelorette

Based on this tragic goodbye, I'm sad ABC decided not to show us the relationship between Matt and Rachel. #TheBachelorette

um, #TheBachelorette you have to show even one previous interaction between Rachel and a dude to build up to a goodbye this tragic.

Despite Rachel constantly saying that Bryan, a.k.a. the world’s worst kisser, is too smooth for his own good and that she doesn’t trust what he says at all (listen to those instincts, Rachel), some are saying he’s the guy who gets the final rose. Fans are not pleased.
