*Warning: Spoilers ahead*
As a longtime Bachelorette fan, I thought I had seen it all when it came to televised heartbreak. However, I’ve never seen a breakup as raw as the one Greg pulled on Katie Thurston.
In last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, Thurston travels to the hometowns of her final four contestants. At one point, Greg confesses his feelings for Thurston, dropping the L-bomb before revealing that she fills a void in his heart. During the conversation, Thurston is completely distracted (or so it seems), because she completely glosses over his emotional confession, saying, “I just love looking at you.”
Her aloofness doesn’t sit right with Greg, who confronts Thurston the next day about her lack of interest in what he has to say. The result is one of the rawest breakups I’ve ever seen on the dating franchise. (The only ones that come close are when Arie Luyendyk Jr. broke up with Becca Kufrin to pursue Lauren Burnham, followed by Peter Weber calling off his engagement to Hannah Ann Sluss. But both were on The Bachelor, not The Bachelorette.)
