AceShowbiz - Spring means a new season of "The Bachelor". This year's season though, might be different from the previous ones and one could argue that it might be the most controversial season in the franchise's history.

Arie Luyendyk Jr., who was pointed as the leading man of season 22 of the ABC dating show, was dubbed the most hated Bachelor after he publicly dumped fiancee and winner Becca Kufrin for the runner-up, Lauren Burnham.

The race car driver met up with Becca a couple weeks after getting engaged during the finale. Becca initially thought they were going to spend the weekend together but it turned out they met up because Arie wanted to call things off with her as he still had feelings for Lauren.

"I felt like the more I was hanging out with you the more I was losing the chance of reconciling with her," Arie told a shocked Becca. "We left Peru and I didn't want to be as honest with you about how conflicted I was."

Arie is now happily engaged to Lauren and is planning to have their wedding next year.
