'The Bachelor' season 23: Fans believe season finale was staged, and that Cassie Randolph will leave Colton Underwood

Cassie Randolph shocked everyone when she said she was not ready to be engaged and quit the competition only to return and accept Colton Underwood's proposal in the finale

When 'The Bachelor' season 23 first premiered on ABC in January, 30 women were competing to win Colton Underwood's heart. Sadly, only one woman could make her way into his heart and that was none other than front runner Cassie Randolph. 

However, things went haywire when Randolph revealed that she is not ready to be engaged and quit the competition during the Fantasy Suite round. After being snubbed, Underwood turned into a contestant himself and tried to win back Randolph. He told other contestants Tayshia Adams and Hannah Godwin that he was in love with Randolph and set out to go win her back.
