This week on the two-night finale event of "The Bachelor," which lasted a whopping five hours total, America was shocked when Arie Luyendyk proposed to one finalist and then quickly changed his mind about the decision. Within no time, Arie became the most hated man in "The Bachelor" history, and fans who are part of the #BachelorNation did not hesitate to call him out on social media.
When Arie just wouldn't leave
It seemed as though Arie just couldn't take a hint when he lingered awkwardly after telling Becca he wanted to call off their engagement.

When they made fun of Arie's signature catchphrase
If there's one thing people noticed, it's that Arie "loves" everything.
Producer: so were thinking you get to a happy couple meet up and unexpectedly break up with her because you’re still in love with Lauren.

Arie: I love that#thebachelor #thebachelorfinale
