Ryan Neal and Natascha Bessez's romance on 'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' came to a sad end on Monday night, May 11 and fans believe the couple didn't deserve it. 

'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' premiered recently, but it already feels like its been on air for ages. The six week spin-off season is nearing its end with just one week remaining and the competition is getting tougher. With just four couples remaining, it was anyone's game this week. 

Last week we saw Julia and Brandon's over the top drama come to an end. We also witnessed Bri and Chris take their relationship to the next level by confessing their love for each other. 

Back again this week, the couples make their way to Las Vegas in their very own tour bus. Though it was barely a five-hour drive, they sure enjoyed their time. But Rudi and Matt found themselves taking some time out and having a date. Later, Rudi did find herself in a rocky position after she confessed her feelings to Matt but got no clear response from him. 

Meanwhile, this week, the couples performed where Lady Gaga performed. The judges this week were Bachelor franchise couple, Arie Luyendyk Jr and Lauren Burnham, Pat Monahan from Train, Ashley Simpson and Evan Ross. Ryan and Natascha had to perform, 'Perfect' by Ed Sheeran. Instead of keeping it the way it is, Ryan decided to add his twist to it, but didn't end up well. The judges weren't impressed. 

Arie revealed he didn't find their performance genuine. Sadly, Ryan and Natascha end up getting eliminated tonight. Taking to Twitter fans were upset claiming the didn't deserve it. "So I’m currently balling my eyes out hyperventilating because Ryan and Natasha got sent home!! The amount of crying snapchats I have rn is soo bad but I just love them," a fan said. 

While another added, "Sad Ryan is leaving, he & Natascha are super talented. I know this isn’t the last we’ve seen of them, not together but you know, can’t have everything." 

"I don’t agree with these judges using just this ONE performance to judge if they get to go to the finale. It doesn’t seem fair because Natascha and Ryan have been SOLID #LTYH," a fan said. Adding to that another said, 'Ryan and Natascha didn't deserve to be sent home." 

'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' airs every Monday night only on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
