What Season Of The Bachelorette Was Colton On
Remember Colton? The One Before the Fence Jump? Let's Rewind!
So, you're a Bachelor/Bachelorette enthusiast, right? You've probably got your favorite cringe moments, your most-loved couples (that may or may not still be together), and your go-to snacks for viewing parties. But do you remember where it all began for one of the franchise's most talked-about figures: Colton Underwood?
Let's take a trip down memory lane, back to a time before social media was quite as savage and fence-jumping was just something you did to avoid a grumpy neighbor's dog. We're talking about The Bachelorette, specifically, season 14.
Becca's Season: A Cornucopia of... Guys
Season 14 starred Becca Kufrin. She was, as many remember, a fan favorite from Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor (remember that brutal breakup?). Becca was given another chance at love and had a whole pile of men vying for her attention.
Must Read
This is where our friend Colton enters the scene. He showed up, bright-eyed and seemingly ready for romance. He was a former football player, and the talk of his virginity became a central theme early on.
Colton's Journey: Tears, Fears, and... Viriginity?
Colton's journey on Becca's season was... well, a journey. There was a lot of talk about his age, his past relationship with another Bachelor alum (Tia Booth, from Arie's season, remember her too?), and of course, the never-ending conversation about his virginity.
It was a bit like a broken record, honestly. Did Becca care? Did the other guys care? The audience certainly seemed to have opinions.
The Heartbreak Heard 'Round Bachelor Nation
Ultimately, Colton didn't win Becca's heart. He was sent home, leaving everyone wondering what his next move would be. There were tears, of course. There are always tears in Bachelor Nation!
What made Colton's departure memorable wasn't just the heartbreak, but the anticipation. People knew something was brewing. He had a strong presence, a compelling story (or at least, a heavily promoted one), and it was clear he wasn't going to just disappear.
From Bachelorette Castoff to Bachelor Himself
And he didn't disappear! In a move that surprised some and delighted others, Colton Underwood was named the next Bachelor. This set the stage for the fence jump, the dramatic rose ceremonies, and, well, everything else that followed.
So, there you have it. Colton's Bachelorette origin story. It wasn't a fairytale ending, but it was the beginning of a wild ride.
Why It Matters (Sort Of)
Why should you care about which season of The Bachelorette Colton was on? It's a good trivia question! You now have fun facts to share with friends while watching.
It also showcases how much the franchise can shape a narrative and catapult someone to fame (or infamy, depending on your perspective). Plus, it's a reminder that everyone has to start somewhere, even if that somewhere involves awkward conversations about virginity on national television.
Ultimately, Colton's journey, starting on Becca's season, serves as a reminder that in the world of reality TV dating, anything is possible. Maybe not lasting love, but definitely some good water cooler conversation.
"And I think it was very clear early on that Colton was very, very nervous about being there. It was the most nervous I had seen him, just because, you know, he was being very vulnerable on national television." - Reality Steve
