Eliminated 'Bachelor' Contestant Breaks Silence with a Message Directly to Colton Underwood

Caelynn Miller-Keyes, the contestant eliminated from last night’s episode of The Bachelor, was a fan favorite on the show to end up with Colton Underwood.

Now, she’s speaking out after watching her elimination episode, which aired on Monday (February 25).

“Wow, it’s a weird thing watching yourself fall in love on TV. These past few months have been really difficult. I put my whole heart on the line and I fell in love with an incredible man in the strangest way,” Caelynn wrote on Instagram. “Colton, thank you. You constantly pushed me and challenged me, and I walked away from all of this a better person.”

“Mom, John, and the entire fam, thanks for going through this wild journey with me. I love you all, and am so thankful you could be there during this. No matter what happened, this was the best experience of my life and I came out stronger. Thank you all for letting me share my life with you. I appreciate the love and support,” she added.
