We all fell for Ian when he showed up on The Bachelorette. He seemed like one of the only guys that was actually looking for love. He was even well-educated and mature with a predictable but touching sob story. So, when he turned on Kaitlyn this week, we couldn’t help but feel a tinge upset. Below, we’re recounting the 15 most shocking things Ian said during his strange rant.
1. “I think a lot of women like me. I don’t think that that’s ever been an issue for me.”
Uh huh. You keep telling yourself that.
2. “I don’t understand why Kaitlyn wouldn’t want a Princeton graduate, former model that defied death and has been around the world a couple of times.”
Hmm…maybe it’s the terrible personality. Just guessing, though.
3. “I think that’s why I would make a great Bachelor. I think if I was on the other side of the coin, that if I had 25 options, that it would be something that could definitely work out for me.”
Even Nick looked shocked by this one.
4. “I don’t find Kaitlyn interesting. Like I don’t think that’s something wrong with me. I think that’s something wrong with her.”
You really know how to compliment a woman, don't you?
5. “I don't think that Kaitlyn understands the full extent of who I am, and who I am is a catch.”
Okay.
6. “Against all of my logic, Kaitlyn doesn’t want someone like me, and it’s just making me look bad for trying.”
Does this have anything to do with your failed attempt at mariachi?
7. “If one of these lames is better than me, then just pick one of the lames.”
After this statement, Ian went on to reiterate his enviable looks and brains combo.
8. “I could be the Bachelor. I think I am a very eligible bachelor in this country and in this world.”
Weird joke, man.
9. “Who I am is a gift that you unwrap for life.”
Even though it doesn’t seem like it, we’re really happy for you.
10. “I’m not here just to have a good time. Like, I have a good time with my own life. And I meet chicks. And I have a lot of sex in my own life.”
Sure you do.
11. “It’s really difficult for me hanging around a group of guys that are just making fart jokes, making poop jokes, making sex jokes…And that’s what works for you but that’s not what works for me.”
Because being demeaning is totally the right move here.
12. “I came here expecting to meet the girl that had her heart broken and was devastated by Chris Soules, not the girl that wanted to get her field plowed by Chris.”
Quit while you’re (somewhat) ahead. Please.
13. “I feel like you’re here to make out with a bunch of dudes on TV.”
And you know what? Maybe she is, and maybe she isn't—and either way it's okay.
14. “She's not half as hot as my ex-girlfriend.”
Well, both she and Kaitlyn really dodged a bullet there, didn't they?
15. “I really see you as a surface level person at this stage. And I wonder if you’re really that shallow because I don’t see anything beyond the surface.”
And unfortunately this awful conversation will carry into next week’s episode. Super!
Do you think Ian was genuinely as terrible as he was portrayed, collegiettes, or is crafty editing to blame?
