The windmill moment with Hannah Brown was much talked about in the season of 'The Bachelorette' and it fueled a massive drama after it came out.

The windmill moment was arguably 'The Bachelor' Peter Weber's claim to fame - the place where he and 'Bachelorette' Hannah Brown had sex four times in the last season. However, fans have had enough of the windmill mentions this season. 

"Man they are really milking this windmill thing, huh?" said a fan, while another one said, "How many times are they going to let us know that Peter is a pilot and he had sex in a windmill?" A third one said, "Drink everytime you hear the word Windmill or Hannah". Another said, "If I took a drink every time there was a plane/pilot joke or a windmill reference I’d already be passed out"

One frustrated fan said, "I want to burn every windmill I see on this show. Who's with me?" Another said, "There have been so many flying and pilot puns and I am OVER it. Yes, I get he is "Pilot Peter" but find some new material... and no windmill comments either."

Another angry fan said "Why do #TheBachelor producers pick one element of a contestant’s personality (ex: being a pilot/windmill) and then beat us over the head with it? It’s like the dating show version of Pimp My Ride.

The windmill moment with Hannah B was much talked about in the season of 'The Bachelorette' and it fueled a massive drama after it came out. Fans even counted the number of times it was mentioned in just the first half of the episode - which was easily two dozen times. "Would everyone STOP with the windmill thing please thank you?" one tweet said. 

Some fans also pointed out how there was really no reason for contestants to be excited about the windmill, for obvious reasons. "Yeaaaaaa let's remind Peter about that one time he hooked up with someone that isn't you... solid strategy," tweeted a fan while another noted, "Bold move by the girls who are reminding this guy about the time he banged his ex in a windmill. Idk might want to keep that out of his head." 

Let's hope the windmill references were just for the premiere.
