'The Bachelorette' season 15: Fans speculate producers forced Hannah Brown to give her last rose to John Paul Jones

Though at the beginning she seemed to have it easy giving out the roses. Towards the end, she seemed to have been thinking a lot before giving out her roses. Especially during her last rose

Season 15 of 'The Bachelorette' recently premiered on ABC and be ready to 'roll tide' this season as it already started off on a dramatic note. 

Months after falling in love with Colton Underwood on 'The Bachelor' season 23, and getting her heart broken during the Hometown episode where she was eliminated, Brown is back now more than ready to find her one true love. 

"Bless the man who spends forever with me because I’m so much to handle, but what I want to give somebody is really special. I’m nervous but excited. I’ve got to be completely myself and the desire of my heart is to find love. I don’t know what I’m doing, but bring on the men," Brown said during the premiere. 

Prior to the premiere, Brown had already met five of her suitors during 'The Bachelor' season 23 'After The Final Rose' episode. Eager to meet the other 25 men, Brown seemed to have handled it pretty well. Some men had their own unique way of entering the mansion, as usual, hoping to stand out among the rest.

After having a conversation with almost most of her suitors, it was time for her to hand out the roses. With just a limited number of roses left to give out, Brown had a tough decision to make. Though at the beginning she seemed to have it easy giving out the roses. Towards the end, she seemed to have been thinking a lot before giving out her roses. Especially during her last rose. 

In the end, Brown gave her last rose of the night to John Paul Jones, a 24-year-old financial analyst. During his entrance, Jones introduced himself to Brown saying, 'Hi my name is John Paul Jones, my friends call me John Paul Jones so you can call me John Paul Jones."

After seeing that Brown gave her final rose to Jones, fans reveal that they aren't in favor of her decision and speculate that the producers might have forced her to.

"S/o to the @BacheloretteABC producers that decided that John Paul Jones (John Paul Jones) got that last rose #johnpauljones," wrote a fan on Twitter. While another fan said, "She only picked him for the final rose because the producers want to keep him on for the name. He better bring some drama with him to the show. #theBachelorette #johnpauljones." 

"Had to be a producers request, keeping #johnpauljones," said a fan. "WAIT... HANNAH... you just picked jOhn PaUl jOnEs over CHASEN, BOX GUY, BRIAN TEACHER GUY, & MATT DONALD???? #TheBachelorette," added another fan. 

Another fan said, "Did Hannah seriously pick JOHN PAUL JONES over Chasen AND Matt McDonald??? #TheBachelorette." 

Though fans are disappointed that Brown picked Jones to give her last rose of the night to, we can't wait to see what happens next on 'The Bachelorette.' 

'The Bachelorette' season 15 airs every Monday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
