Like the shadows dancing on the wall in Plato’s Cave, what we see in The Bachelorette are only part of what truly goes on. Between the judicious editing undertaken by the producers for narrative and the fact that there is only so much time in each episode, there is more happening than we will ever truly know. Maybe, in all those unseen moments, there’s a different Ryan, and a different chemistry between Ryan and Angie that might go some way to explaining how upset she was to see him go. Maybe.
AngBut from where we’re sitting, it sure looks like it should have been a much easier decision than Angie made it out to be. After tossing a rose to Carlin and Timm, Angie’s entire world seemed to fall apart at the prospect of giving Ryan the boot — which made a lot of people scratch their heads.

I’m sad that Angie is sad but Ryan is very boring and I do not like him so I think Angie ultimately made the right choice, thank you for coming to my ted talk #bacheloretteau

I really thought Timm was going tonight because tbh who could get that emotional over Ryan leaving anywhere #BacheloretteAU pic.twitter.com/yl9YnmbNEh

Thank the Lorde we have to endure Ryan no longer. That bloke is the human equivalent of the sound a balloon makes when it deflates #bacheloretteau

Others are pointing at the lack of a preview of the next episode as a sign that he’s making a shock comeback. Let’s all agree to pretend to be shocked if that happens.
