Jean Blanc's departure on The Bachelorette [1] just might go down as the most cringeworthy exit in Bachelor Nation history.
In case you need a quick refresher, here's the SparkNotes on what went down with the so-called "colognoisseur" [2] this week. When the 31-year-old was scored some alone time with Becca during a group date, he gifted her with a perfume called Miss Becca Blanc. Then things went from sweet to awkward when he went to "whisper" something in her ear, only to plant a surprise kiss on her. Though she was a bit caught off guard and turned off, she cracked a joke to ease the apparent discomfort. Later on in the evening, Jean stole Becca away for another chat during which he admitted that he was "falling in love" with her — after just four weeks of knowing her and only going on group dates. Mmmmkay.
Becca, who was clearly thrown off by his out-of-the-blue declaration, explained that they weren't on the same page and decided to walk him out of the house and remove him from the competition [3]. But Jean didn't go down without a fight, as he dug himself a deeper grave by admitting that he professed his apparent love for Becca only because he thought it was "what [she] wanted to hear." Yiiiikes. Needless to say, viewers had a LOT of feelings about Jean's BS, as Twitter was flooded with a plethora of hilarious reactions to the strange situation. Good riddance, Jean Blanc — can't say we'll miss you.
