'The Bachelorette' has been on air since 2003 and so far attempted to help 15 women find their husbands on the show. Not many of them have ended up to be a success as those relationships couldn't withstand the harsh realities of life once the cameras stopped rolling for good. Millions of followers of the show also known as Bachelorverse have invested hours, days and months rooting for their favorites on the show.

Ardent followers still talk about the time Trista Sutter became the Bachelorette on the inaugural season, memories of the highs and lows she faced in her still fresh in their minds. The show has constantly evolved over the years and Bachelorette's as well as the suitors who appear to strike a connection with them have turned out to be dubious as they come. This constant evolution has also resulted in some very unforgettable moments in the history of television shows. Here we've consolidated five such moments that are striking yet equally cringeworthy. 

Ali confronts Justin

One can try as hard as they can but Ali Fedotowsky chasing a bolting Justin Rego was a dismal sight one can never forget. Ali had just spoken to a woman who claimed to be Justin's girlfriend of two years and also claimed to have recently found out that he was double-timing her. Armed with all this intel on her suitor as well as some rage, she walked to the room where all the men on the season, including Justin, were waiting for her. The plan was to confront him and shame him in front of everyone for what he'd done. As soon as Justin got a whiff of what was about to go down, he bolted. No explanations offered, no apologies were given! The camera as well as Ali and host Chris Harrison tried to follow and stop him and have him confess on camera but there was no stopping him. At one point someone strategically locked the gates so he couldn't exit the property and be forced to speak on camera. However, Justin was determined to run, and run he did. Watch the awkward interaction by below.



 

Kaitlyn and her sexcapade with Nick Viall 

The entire crew had just landed in Dublin, Ireland, and one of the most-abhorred contestants back then on the show, Nick Viall had earned the first date with Kaitlyn. They walked the streets of Dublin, stopping at historic landmarks to make out with each other, grope each other in public, traumatize an old gentleman at the bar with their intense kissing, and then retired back to Kaitlyn's suite for a nightcap. She just couldn't stop blushing around Nick that day and they surely didn't try to act coy for the camera even back at the suite. However, things got really hot and heavy after a while and they took things to the next level, taking the party to the bedroom. While the cameras didn't follow the couple inside, the makers certainly picked up all the carnal moaning and groaning happening behind those doors and aired all of that during the episode.



 

Desiree Hartsock and her suitors rapping along with Soulja Boy 

We are almost feeling our breath become erratic as we bring to you this moment that we wish we didn't know about. Desiree Hartsock, frontwoman of Season 9 of 'The Bachelorette' had enlisted the help of rapper Soulja Boy to get her suitors to rap and dance to 'Right Reasons'. She was the one rapping in the video spitting out words (we'd be damned if we called them bars) like  "I'm here for love/Not here for the drama. If you mess with me/You're going home to your mama." Her men appeared in the video dancing sans grace, mouthing the words 'Right Reasons' multiple times as filler. Watch the video here, bet you can't watch this with your eyes open. 

Rachel Lindsay asking DeMario to 'Get the F*** Out' after his girlfriend shows up

It was Week 2 on Season 13 of the show, the one which was fronted by the queen that is Rachel Lindsay. They were out on a group date where one of her suitor DeMario Jackson's girlfriend popped up out of the blue claiming that they'd never broken up. Rachel gave him a chance to speak up for himself and he refused to own up to anything and continued talking in circles that enraged Rachel and she asked him to exit the show immediately. 



 

Bachelorette Clare Crawley sniffing Dale Moss's pants



 

This is a moment that will continue to haunt Bachelorverse for years to come. Clare has already managed to irritate fans of the show with her constantly talking about Dale. In the previous episode, she managed to creep audiences out completely as she pulled out his pants that were kept on her bed, sniffed them, and then covered her face with it and only took it off after a couple of seconds. What was worse was her asking former Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas to sniff them as well after she was done. Welp!

'The Bachelorette' airs Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
