  • ALERT: Bachelor contestant Kelley Flanagan is at the live finale show.

  • Chris Harrison said it’s “important” that she’s there, whatever that means....


Chris Harrison has already put us poor souls through A LOT this week, from finally revealing that Barbara, Peter Weber’s mom, was crying about Hannah Ann in her now-iconic breakdown, to slyly placing Julie LaPlaca, the Bachelor producer who some think Peter is dating, in the teaser for tonight’s finale episode.

But Chris truly outdid himself in the first few minutes of the finale tonight when he announced that contestant Kelley Flanagan was in the audience and said that it’s “important” that she’s there. What! Does! He! Mean!

ICYMI, there’s a far-fetched Bach theory floating around the internet that Kelley actually wins Peter’s heart even though she was eliminated before hometowns. Earlier this week, Bachelor detectives found that all of Peter’s family—including his mom, dad, and brother—follow Kelley on Instagram, while none of them follow Madison or Hannah Ann. I mean....that’s pretty compelling evidence, right?

However, Reality Steve quickly debunked the theory with a very definitive, “Stop it. Just stop. Save it. Peter is not with Kelley. Period. End of story.” But if that’s the case, then we’re left with the question of why the heck it’s “important” that Kelley is at the live finale show tonight. Especially considering that she was fully not invited to “Women Tell All,” her presence there is very sus!!

Of course, it could just be that Chris Harrison is trying to throw us all off for a just little longer—and honestly, it’s working ’cause I’m so confused rn!
