'The Bachelorette': Fans roast Meatball after he tries to win Rachel's rose despite rejecting her

'Meatball realizing his time on the show was over and pulling Rachel to ask for a rose after rejecting her is not cute,' a fan tweeted after the episode

It looks like Meatball aka James Clarke is losing his sauce on 'The Bachelorette' Season 19. Fans were left cringing and questioning his motives to be on the dating show after watching him reject Rachel Recchia's rose, saying he was interested in Gabby and had a deeper connection with her.

But by the end of the ceremony when Gabby didn't hand him the rose and he was amongst the eliminated suitors alongside Termayne, Alec, and Jacob, Meatball quickly tweaked his plan. Instead of accepting his fate and kissing goodbye to the show, Meatball approached Rachel and tried pointing out to her that he deserved a second chance to be on the show. He explained that although he thought he had a better connection with Gabby, in reality, he didn't get enough time to get to know Rachel. He then expressed an interest in getting to know her better and asks her for another chance.
