Why Hannah Brown Is the Best Bachelorette
Against All Odds, Hannah Brown Became My Favorite Bachelorette Thus Far
She Totally Put Luke P. in His Place
It's safe to say Hannah's relationship with Luke P. was only comparable to a roller coaster — and she handled it with the utmost grace. Early on, when Luke started showing his true, manipulative colors, Hannah made it clear that he was in the doghouse and needed to work hard to redeem himself. During their first cringe-worthy one-on-one date, Hannah told him point blank that it was the worst date she'd had yet and that their conversations weren't giving her the clarity she needed. I may not have agreed with her decision to keep him around after that, but ultimately, I sympathized with the pickle she was in. Hannah and Luke had an undeniable physical attraction from the start, and she was likely continuously lured back in by her desire to figure him out once and for all.
What's more is that she was also upfront about Luke with the other men, asking them to butt out of their relationship and let her figure out her complicated feelings because, in her own words, she's "a grown-ass woman." Just about every season, there's at least one contestant who stirs up the most drama in the house, but those conversations usually happen in small groups or behind closed doors, and Hannah was more than willing to set things straight out in the open. One thing's for sure — Hannah didn't let Luke get those roses without first putting him through the ringer.
Luke's highly anticipated departure finally unfolded during fantasy suite week, as Hannah sent him packing after defending herself in the most applause-worthy way. It all started when Luke initiated a conversation about sex, faith, and marriage, making it clear that he would go home if Hannah had been intimate with the other men in their fantasy suites. Of course, Hannah didn't let that fly, as she retorted without letting Luke get in a word. "Guess what, sex might be a sin out of marriage; pride is a sin too," she said, clearly taking a jab at his character. "I have had sex, and Jesus still loves me. From obviously how you feel, me f*cking in a windmill, you probably want to leave." Boom! And leave he did — with a middle finger from Hannah visible through the back window. Good riddance, Luke!
