BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: Season 19 of 'The Bachelorette' may be coming to a close, but the drama is far from over. With hometowns done and all of Gabby's and Rachel's remaining men going into fantasy suites, it looks like the ladies now have to decide who they want to spend their lives with. But before that, they sat down with their 'exes' during the 'Men Tell-All'.

From Roby going blonde to multiple apologies from multiple men (even though some season villains decided to skip out on the 'Tell-All'), a lot went on in Episode 8. Curious to know more about some of the top moments this season? Continue reading!

Roby's new look

The 'Men Tell-All' saw a few familiar faces and some that many failed to recognise right off the bat -- yes, we're talking about Roby Sobieski, also known as Roby the Magician. For a quick recap, Roby was among the first to be eliminated this season. Making his way back to 'Tell-All', Roby came with a lot of things to say and with a new look. Unfortunately, his pale blonde dye job had fans calling him Draco Malfoy while his opinions had them wondering if he was making up for lost screen time.

Logan confronting his actions

Apart from Chris and Hayden, Logan has been quite a consistent Season 19 villain. Apart from having made out with both, Rachel and Gabby, fans were not a fan of the fact that he accepted Rachel's roses, only to switch over to Gabby's side later on in the season. Logan finally spoke about why he did what he did and that in that comment, he felt as though he was constantly under pressure as well. While his explanation did little to redeem him, maybe his run on 'Bachelor In Paradise' will turn things around.

Nate addressing online allegations

While all the men had only nice things to say about Nate, there was the elephant in the room regarding Nate's cheating allegations. Nate opened up about the issue, talking about his main priority was his daughter's safety and well-being which was the primary reason behind his choices made in past relationships. Fans seemed on the fence of what to make of it, seeing while they understood where he was coming from, they couldn't help but feel as though he was being given 'The Bachelor' edit.

Jacob apologising to Gabby

Logan aside, another cast member was all set to come clean about how they treated Gabby -- yes, we're talking about Jacob. Jacob wasted no time in telling Gabby that he was genuinely sorry about his 'rude' behaviour and that he was 'ignorant' of her feelings when he made it clear that he was here for Rachel. Gabby took his apology in stride, as Jacob got teary-eyed over the same. Fans, however, weren't as forthcoming. "Not Jacob fake crying during his apology #bachelorette #TheBachelorette" wrote a fan. "we looove to see these men taking accountability (even though I think Jacob was trying to well up some crocodile tears) #thebachelorette" added another. 



 



 

Meatball being...a literal meatball

When 'Bros' stars Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane showed up to promote their movie, no one expected that their promo would take the weirdest turn possible. Suddenly, Meatball was front and centre, doing what he does best -- slathering himself in marinara. He even tackled Eichner, resulting in laughs all around. But fans online were less than amused. "I hate this #MenTellAll because they didn’t tell anything. It was more like an apology tour with advertising & Meatball pouring tomato sauce all over himself #TheBachelorette #bachelorette #BachelorNation" wrote a fan. "I am so angry about this #MenTellAll. The men barely spoke the last hour. Instead we watched trailers for The Kardashians, the Bros, & Meatball silliness. So disrespectful to the men, the women, AND the fans. #TheBachelorette was such a waste of time tonight. Sorry " added another.
