Colton Underwood, Nick Viall and More Members of Bachelor Nation React to Explosive ‘Bachelor’ Finale

Bachelor Nation had strong feelings about Peter Weber — and his mother — while watching the season 24 finale of The Bachelor. Part two of the 28-year-old pilot’s finale picked up just before Peter proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss after Madison Prewett left Australia. "My heart chooses you forever. I love you, Hannah Ann, and the love that you've shown me is all that I have ever wanted. And I never want to let you go," Peter said before he got down on one knee. While the 23-year-old model accepted the ring, their relationship was over a month later when Peter admitted that he still had feelings for Madison, also 23. "All I’ve ever asked for is for someone to give me their whole heart like I’m giving mine to them," Hannah Ann said to Peter during their split. "And you took away from me my first engagement. You took that away from me." [jwplayer 60F13KZh] After Hannah Ann had a chance to confront Peter, Madison joined him on stage to try to figure out if their relationship stands a chance. "We’ve both been really hurt, extremely hurt and been through the ringer with all of this,” Peter said. "I know there is a lot of healing that both of us have to do but I know the love and the respect I have for you, and that has never changed. And like I said, I’ve made more mistakes than you can make, but I’m still sitting on the couch next to you right now, but through everything, that makes me happy." Peter’s mother, Barbara Weber, however, made it clear she wasn’t here for her son to date Madison again. “He’s going to have to fail to succeed,” Barbara admitted. “Everyone that knows him knows it’s not going to work.” Scroll through for Bachelor Nation’s reactions to the finale:

“Where do we even begin with Peter’s mom. As a mother myself, I am appalled by her behavior last night,” the former Bachelorette wrote in her blog. “Actually let me backtrack for a second. … I rarely say something negative about someone without following it up with a line about how they’re young and how they’re growing and learning about themselves. But I don’t even know how to defend Barb at this point. Yesterday I defended her by saying that I get that she was emotional about her son getting engaged. And I understood her concerns because frankly I am concerned for them, but her behavior on the live taping is inexcusable.” 

Ali added that Peter should be ashamed for not standing up for Madison. “I so badly wanted him to stand up and tell his mom to stop,” she wrote. “Instead he left Madison to do it. And Madison, my goodness, Madison has class! Her parents should be so proud! They raised an incredibly respectful and well spoken young woman.”

The season 13 Bachelor contestant had a similar experience to Hannah Ann when Jason Mesnick changed his mind during their finale. “After watching tonight’s Bachelor, someone DM’d me and told me I had to watch my old ATFR. Believe it or not,‘I’ve never seen the whole thing,” Melissa wrote via Instagram. “But man! It hit me! Made me sad for that little girl sitting on that stage. I almost don’t even remember her - it feels like a lifetime ago. But it was me...and it happened...and I absolutely moved on from it all. To anyone out there going through this...it’s DOES get easier! I don’t even remember this girl....or her pain, even though I know I lived it. Keep smiling and moving forward...We all end up where we’re supposed to be…!”
