'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!': How Juan Pablo bowled over suitresses before they all hated him
Tonight is the recap of Juan Pablo's run on 'The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever!'. All the women who appeared on the show as his suitresses seemed quite bowled over by his charm at first but Bachelorverse fans know that's not the whole truth about him. Things went downhill pretty quickly as the ladies started to notice that Juan wasn't really interested in participating in deep conversations and most dates ended in him initiating a make-out session.
He also shamed a suitress (Clare Crawley) after their cozy rendezvous in the ocean and gave another suitress (Andi Dorfman) such a hard time on a fantasy date that she had to pull out of the show. However, before Juan fell from greatness, here's a look at all the nice things that were said about him by some of his suitresses on the show.
Clare Crawley was the first suitress to go on a one-on-one date with him on the season. He chose her from the rest, blindfolded her and took her to a "magical gorgeous fun Winter Wonderland" in Los Angeles. At that point, Clare felt like she was living her perfect fairytale. She said that the date felt unreal and she felt like a child once again with Juan, that night. In a confessional, Clare also opened up about her dad who she was extremely close to. He died from brain cancer but before he did, he left her a DVD made especially for her husband. Juan Pablo initially made her feel special enough for her to consider a future with him. Clare also opened up about having a history of dating men who were emotionally unavailable and it meant a lot for her to put herself out there again and be vulnerable with Juan and after the first date, she felt Juan's company "comforting" and really hoped he was the one after that night.
Then there was the NBA dancer Cassandra that Juan felt a connection with. They bonded over being single parents — she was a mother to two-year-old Trey at that time and his daughter Camila was four years old.
Then there was Nikkie, the pediatrician that Juan looked pretty smitten with and he admitted so on camera as well. Nikkie, on the other hand, described him as a good kisser, funny, a good dad and all of these things collectively were making her feel butterflies in her stomach. Sharleen, the opera singer, described Juan as a "great package" and on their magical first date, she also broke into an impromptu opera performance, something that she never did in the past for any man. She also did feel a lot of chemistry with him on their date.
Everything was going perfectly with the women and Juan but the first cracks developed when Sharleen decided to pull out of the show as she couldn't find a "cerebral connection" with him. So did suitress Dorfman who dumped him after their fantasy suite date and things went so badly that she wrote a whole memoir and got brutally honest about him.
