Yes, you are right. I'm interested in people and in relationships and it is interesting for me getting to know people while watching the show, but at the end I always feel the same sadness watching people in love being rejected. It is a bad idea to date multiple people simultaneously. I knew it from the very first show. But this is the only way they can get that much drama. I don't care for drama, relationships are tough enough just with 2 people involved, but they need a show and a lot of drama! What can we do about that?

Per the bold, I wish the lead would choose the least likable person and the person they love as his/her final 2. That would be a win-win I would think. Fleiss would have his drama all season; the lead wouldn't have to worry about breaking the runner-up's heart because of the unlikability factor, and; the viewers would hoot & holler when F2 was rejected in the end. It would also make for a VERY interesting ATFR.

But the least likable person is still a real person and has real feelings. No matter who my fav is, I would never hoot and holler when the f2 is rejected. I just don't understand why people will enjoy watching someone being rejected and humiliated. That's always my least favorite part of the show.

Completely agree.  I'm not a fan of Nick, just don't like him or get a good feeling about him.  Regardless I don't like that he is about to potentially get his heart broken on national TV.  I may not want him to get Kaitlyn but no need for him to suffer or hurt needlessly.  I would have preferred that Kaitlyn had him leave before he proposed, if in fact that's what he does.  Just seems unfair and cruel.
