8 shocking revelations from 'The Bachelor: Women Tell All'


The Bachelor: The Women Tell All is kind of what we've all been waiting for all season, besides the finale of course. Admit it, every time something shady happened — like when Leah told Bachelor Ben Higgins that Lauren B. wasn't who she appeared to be — or when one woman bad mouthed another contestant, we all knew that one day it would come out in the wash that is the reunion show.

Of course, we can't forget about the reason for this season of The Bachelor — Ben! He was in the studio too and had to face all of the women he rejected, including Caila who he sent home last week because he wasn't in love with her. He was actually in love with two other women. Ouch!

We'll get to Ben a little later, but first we'll start with the ladies. Monday's show was full of surprises, and we're not just talking about Tiara, the chicken enthusiast, who actually brought her chicken, Sheila, to the studio.

1. Leah actually felt slighted by Lauren B. 

And we thought she was just jealous of Ben and Lauren B.'s connection! When Leah implied to Ben that Lauren B. might not be as genuine as he believed, we were all mystified, but Leah said that Lauren B. made a remark that didn't sit well with her.

"I was devastated when I didn't get that one-on-one," Leah said. "It was brought up that Lauren B. had made a comment that the girls were losers for being upset. So, when I went to Ben and we talked, I wanted him to know how I was feeling. I did not feel that my conversation should be publicly discussed amongst the girls."

You can see how that would be awkward, right? Even if Ben didn't necessarily throw Leah under the bus, he kind of waived it over like he needed a ride. And when Becca called Leah out on lying to her face, Leah still defended her actions.

2. The real reason Jami and Amber say they were upset with Jubilee

Some girls were offended when Jubilee got to go solo on a date with Ben and she made a nervous joke that didn't land. But for a few women in the house, their negative feelings toward Jubilee began before the one-on-one.

"I feel like for a few of us that's not where it started," Jami said. "I can speak for me and some other people that are biracial, you have on numerous occasions said, 'I'm here. I'm the real black girl. I'm gonna make it the farthest for a full black woman.'"

Jubilee fully denied this claim, but Amber chimed in with her own accusations.

"You'd say these little comments to us, and I would take offense to it," she said. "Hearing the 'N-word' or hearing things like, 'You're not black enough,' that hurt, and that's why I was standoffish to you a little bit."

Jubilee said that she felt attacked by Jami and Amber, but she did eventually apologize for making comments that might've hurt their feelings. Once she was in the hot seat with Chris Harrison, Jubilee really began to open up about her time on the show.

She told him that she felt like she was "hard to love," and that she never really felt that someone like her could end up with Ben.

Leave it to that charming host of the show (and author of the romance novel The Perfect Letter) to remind Jubilee how wonderful she is. "A guy as terrific as Ben saw you and got you," he said. "If nothing else, I hope you realize you are that person."

3. Some guy has a Lace face tattoo

That is a tattoo of Lace's face on his rib cage. In our heads, it's because he too enjoyed her one-liners and affinity for wine. In reality, it's because he thinks she is "crazy... crazy beautiful."

Yup, that really happened. Also, fans can look forward to seeing Lace on Bachelor in Paradise.

4. Olivia cried after watching the show's first episode

So Olivia got pretty beat up this season and certainly threw some punches of her own, but we were really surprised to see such an emotional side of her come out on Monday night.

"I remember watching the first episode and crying 'cause I didn't know where it kinda went wrong. It started so well," she said.

Olivia said she thought part of her and Ben's demise could be attributed to strained relationships between her and the women in the house. When Chris asked if Olivia felt like she was in the wrong, she said she owned her mistakes. This seemed to amuse Amanda and Emily, who later both confronted Olivia separately.

And so did Jennifer.

Olivia said that she was "severely bullied as a child," and that being in the house reminded her of those times in elementary school when she would walk into a room and students would stop talking.

"I knew things weren't going well, and I knew that people were talking about me, but to pick on my body, to make fun of my breath and my toes and my breasts, this hurts, you know? It sucks."

She admitted that the last few months have been hard, and that she handed over her social media accounts to her sister because she couldn't handle the cyber bullies.

"I used to watch this show, and I would see things. We all judge, but no one really knows, and no one really knows all of us fully... There's no way of knowing how to do this, and I didn't do it right, but I learned." She also gave Amanda a heartfelt apology.

5. Caila said watching Ben with Lauren B. and JoJo is good for her

Even though Caila said, "I really did love him, and I still do in a way," she said it helps seeing Ben with his final two. Um, what?

"What was really good for me was to see his relationship with Lauren B. and JoJo because (of) the way he looks at them," she said. "I want someone to look at me that way one day. I want that. I want someone who can't control how much they love me."

This girl is strong! Because she's human she did admit that she misses talking to Ben and knowing how he's doing.

6. Ben would walk down the aisle tomorrow if he could

After telling Caila that the confusing conversation they had didn't stall their relationship, and explaining to Jubilee why he pursued other girls, like Caila and JoJo, though they seemed to be holding back while Jubilee was let go for that reason, Ben admitted that he was ready to marry the woman of his dreams, like NOW.

7. Becca got confused as to what season of The Bachelor she was on

In one segment of a blooper reel, Becca called Ben Chris — as in Soules, The Bachelor of the other season that she was on. Honestly, who can keep up?

8. Ben told one girl he was in love with two women

In the preview for the final episode, we saw Ben actually tell one woman that he loved both remaining contestants. And that woman was devastated! To us, the voice sounds like JoJo, but we'll have to wait until next week to confirm and to see who the future Mrs. Ben Higgins will be.
