'Bachelor' Vets Slam Juan Pablo's Finale as 'Painful to Watch'

Juan Pablo Galavis‘ journey on The Bachelor came to an end last night and he picked Nikki Ferrell as his companion, though he did not propose to her and refused to say “I love you.”

The 32-year-old former soccer player has been vocal about how he is glad the show is over and even Instagrammed a photo with his lady love after the show saying, “We are FREE.”

“Don’t slap the hand that fed you,” last season’s winner Catherine Giudici said on the After the Finale Rose special. “The fact JP didn’t propose is so far down on the list of why this season ended so horribly. #TheBachelor.”

Catherine‘s new husband Sean Lowe added: “This is painful to watch. #TheBachelor. JP lives with his foot in his mouth. he tension is thick my friends.”

Sean later wrote: “My take on last night: I commend JP on not proposing if he isn’t ready. And he certainly shouldn’t feel pressured to say ‘I love you.’ Lastly, disrespecting the nicest guy in show business @chrisbharrison should be a crime. That’s my take. Wish them nothing but happiness. However, as the bachelor you can’t say I want to keep my feelings private. You owe it to the fans and network to open up. That’s the job.”

DO YOU THINK Juan Pablo Galavis deserves the title of “Worst Bachelor in History”?
