What Is Ross Jirgl Doing on The Bachelor?
The ABC promo showed a mystery man making an appearance and trying to steal the limelight away from Arie!
Here’s the promo in case you missed it:
While we don’t see this man’s face, he is adamant about only wanting one thing and says, “I don’t want to be on this show…I want my girl. I’m here to tell her that I want to marry her.”
Arie, crestfallen over the new arrival, says, “It’s just blowing my mind that he’s here. It’s f*****g upsetting. Right now, I’m angry. I’m angry that he’s here. And I’ve had my heart ripped open, and I don’t know how this is going to end.”
After rumors swirled over the identity of the man, Reality Steve revealed him to be Jirgl, coming to stake his claim for Becca’s heart. What a shocker!
When Will the Drama of the Exes Unfold?
Reality Steve went on reveal more spoilers about Jirgl’s appearance on the show. Becca K.’s ex will apparently make an appearance during the finale in Peru!
Jirgl’s appearance is a new move by the show’s creators. They have had exes appear on the show in the past, but certainly not so late into the season.
The former footballer reportedly tells Becca what’s on his mind and proposes to her! (Okay, cue the gasps.) It certainly promises to be one of the most dramatic season finales ever.
If this isn’t enough drama, there’s a lot more coming. Becca apparently turns down Jirgl and says yes to Arie’s proposal!
If you thought the last few episodes were a roller-coaster ride, hang on tight for what’s to come! There’s a lot of drama on The Bachelor 2018 heading your way!
