The Bachelorhas it all from uncomfortable kisses to dramatic catfights to drunken sagas.
Yes, there have been some totally painful-to-watch,awkward moments in reality television’s hit ABC franchise.
Sometimes, two people just aren’t meant to touch faces.
Fortunately for most of us, though, these awkward encounters weren’t caught on television.
Somehow, it’s so bad it’s almost good.
Here are some of the most awkward kisses inBachelorhistory.
Warning: The cringe level is high.
To be totally fair, her emotions were more than valid.
Most people would cry in Ashley’s situation.
However, crying wasn’t the only thing for which Ashley became known.
She also earned a reputation for being a really, really,reallyaggressive kisser.
Brutal honesty that’s what sisters are for, right?
Of course, communicating your desires with your partner is important.
And if a kiss isn’t going so well, why not say so?
After all, no one has time for bad kisses.
Shannon’s snotty kiss with Jason on The Bachelor
The Bachelorisn’t known for its gross-out moments.
After all, this isn’tFear Factor.
However, this moment from Jason Mesnick’s season ofThe Bachelormight make you lose your appetite.
Remember how it made you want to vomit?
Well,nowimagine kissing someone as an adult and eatingtheirboogers.
It’s a pretty gross idea, right?
No one wants a snotty kiss, and Jason didn’t wantShannon Bair’s snotty kisseither.
Why was Shannon so snotty?
However, this kiss between Carly Waddell and Evan Bass was actually painful to watch.
When you think of a hot and spicy kiss, it probably sounds pretty good, right?
Unfortunately for Carly and Evan onBachelor in Paradise, their kiss was just a bittoohot and spicy.
Nevertheless, the pair did break the record, thussetting a new recordfor 1 minute and 41 seconds.
Despite that unbearably painful kiss,Carly and Evanare actually one of few lasting couples fromThe Bachelorfranchise.
That’s something no one saw coming especially after this kiss!
Consent is key, of course, but sometimes asking for a kiss can come off awkwardly.
When Fred Johnson asked Rachel Lindsay if he could kiss her onThe Bachelorette, it was just plain uncomfortable.
He continued, confessing, “I want to ask you because I want you to feel comfortable.”
It was very awkward, Michelle.
Michelle even expressed to Jake that she needed more effort on his part.
To be fair, Jake really didn’t seem to try all that hard.
But frankly, there was no connection between them, and no kiss was going to build one.
You just can’t force a connection!
In fact, it’s really quite a nice chance of pace.
However, sometimes, things move so slowly that they fall behind.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what was happening to poorWells AdamsonJoJo Fletcher’sseason ofThe Bachelorette.
So, when he leaned in for a weird high-five-turned-side-kiss, viewersawwwed.
But it’s safe to say that no one thought it was even a real kiss.
Unfortunately, what happened in this moment hardly registered as a kiss.
And, America continued to love Wells anyway.
And, because of that, he was also struggling to move forward with Emily.
And when we say “major,” we mean majorly awkward.
Doug planted one on Emilywhile she was trying to explain to the poor guy that it was over.
Perhaps Doug should’ve left things as they were.
Should kisses ever be planned?
Will certainly thought so.
However, his planned peck didn’t quite work out the way he hoped.
So, as the fortune teller foretold, the two kissed.
After the kiss, JoJo told the cameras that she wasn’t necessarily ready for it.
To be fair, though, no one could have been prepared for that totally awkward moment.
Will still seemed pretty content with it, though.
To put it lightly, Josh and Amanda’smake-out sessionswere rather audible.
Josh and Amanda’s lack of social awareness was, frankly, astonishing.
To no one’s surprise, Josh and Amanda ultimately went on to get engaged.
Otherwise, you’d probably still hear them kissing.
Hey, don’t judge a book (or Bachelor) by it’s cover.
However, their moment wasn’t quite as secluded as they thought.
Bekah eventually shimmied her way away ultimately dodging a bullet, she later revealed onTwitter.
However, she’s yet to mention the weird shimmy again.
Unfortunately, we’ll never forget.
This was certainly the case forBacheloralum Colton Underwood.
“But, he got better by the end of the season,” she revealed.
Perhaps even more cringey was Tayshia’s comment about being “a good teacher.”
It sounds like someone is still a bit offended, and we can’t say we blame him!
