"It's difficult to watch," Flajnik, 28, told Bachelorette host Chris Harrison after viewing his proposal on Monday's After the Final Rose finale special. "All I remember from that day is me being down on one knee and her saying no, and having the courage to stand up. That was the hardest part: Getting back up."

Though Hebert, 27, now says she "understand[s]" his outburst — he walked away from her in stunned silence before unleashing an expletive — she did make him propose knowing full well JP Rosenbaum had her heart. "I never thought that the day I'd get engaged would be so gut-wrenching," Hebert told Harrison. "To know I was the one who was causing that type of pain to somebody was hard."
