The Bachelorette: Colton Underwood - The Setup
Colton Underwood, the 26-year-old former professional football player turned reality TV heartthrob, was cast as the season 23 lead of The Bachelorette. Fans were buzzing with excitement, wondering if Colton would finally find love after his unsuccessful stint on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette. Little did we know, Colton's season would be anything but ordinary.
Colton's Past: A Bachelorette Reject
Before we dive into Colton's quest for love, let's rewind to his journey on Becca's season. Colton started strong, capturing Becca's attention with his good looks and charming personality. But things quickly took a turn when he revealed his virginity to Becca, leading to some cringe-worthy conversations and an early exit. Colton left the show heartbroken, but little did he know, his story was far from over.
The Bachelorette: Colton Underwood - The Ladies Arrive
Colton's season kicked off with a bang, as 30 beautiful women arrived, ready to compete for Colton's heart. Among them were some familiar faces, like Cassie Randolph, who had previously appeared on The Bachelor with Colton's friend, Caelynn Miller-Keyes. But there were also some fresh faces, like Hannah Godwin and Tayshia Adams, who would ultimately become Colton's final two.
The Early Favorites
Throughout the season, some women stood out from the pack. Hannah Godwin, a pageant queen with a sparkling personality, captured Colton's attention from the start. Meanwhile, Tayshia Adams, a divorcee with a heart of gold, won Colton over with her intelligence and maturity. And let's not forget about Cassie Randolph, who started as a long shot but quickly became Colton's rock.
The Bachelorette: Colton Underwood - The Drama Unfolds
Colton's season was filled with drama, from controversial contestants to explosive confrontations. Here are some of the highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective):
The Fence Jump
In one of the most iconic moments in Bachelor Nation history, Colton jumped a fence in Portugal after a heated argument with Cassie's dad. Colton, frustrated by Cassie's reluctance to commit, decided to take matters into his own hands. Or, rather, his own legs. The fence jump became a symbol of Colton's desperation for love and a viral meme that would follow him for the rest of his life.
The Fantasy Suite Scandal
Colton's fantasy suite dates were a hot mess. First, he invited three women to spend the night with him, despite only having two suites available. When the third woman, Tayshia, arrived, Colton had to break the news that she wouldn't get a suite. Cue the waterworks and a heated argument between Tayshia and Colton.
Then, Colton's date with Hannah B. took a turn for the worse when she revealed that she was still in love with her ex-boyfriend. Colton, understandably, was blindsided and heartbroken. The fantasy suite dates were a disaster, but they also provided some much-needed clarity for Colton.
The Bachelorette: Colton Underwood - The End is Near
As the season drew to a close, Colton was left with two women: Tayshia and Cassie. After a heartfelt conversation with Cassie's dad, Colton realized that he couldn't give up on their relationship. He broke up with Tayshia, leaving her devastated, and pursued Cassie with renewed vigor.
The Bachelorette: Colton Underwood - The Aftermath
In the end, Colton got his happy ending. He proposed to Cassie in live TV, and they seemed genuinely happy together. But, as Bachelor Nation knows all too well, not all Bachelor proposals last forever.
Colton and Cassie's relationship was tumultuous, to say the least. They broke up and got back together multiple times, and their drama played out on social media for the world to see. In the end, they called it quits for good in May 2020.
