Grippo then shockingly announced that he would be leaving the show in the final days of filming.
The episode proved to be the most dramatic of the season and definitely had fans talking.
Thurston ultimately ended the season engaged to Blake Moynes.
“I was very honest with Blake leading into every single episode and we watched some of them together.
And really that’s what Greg and I both were able to do.”
So, how does Thurston feel about Grippo today?
“I was completely blindsided,” Thurston toldPeople Magazine.
“Greg received validation from night one with his first impression rose.
It is unfortunate that it went the way that it did.
I felt like I did something wrong, like, ‘What could I have done better?’
She added, “The way that he handled it was very immature and very verbally aggressive.
It felt good to watch it back because it gave me the closure I needed.”
“The outcome would definitely have been the same,” she says.
“Greg’s Hometown [date] was a little off.
It was almost like I saw it coming before it happened.
Something didn’t feel right.
With Blake, it was always so easy and natural.”
