While many were shocked at the possibility of the star of the show walking away, host Chris Harrison revealed toEntertainment Tonightthat it actually happens more than viewers think.
“Colton, he was done,” Harrison, 47, added. “He was done with this moment and ready to get away, and he took this fence.”

Nick alsoechoed those sentiments to the outletand revealed that “there were certainly moments where I wanted to [quit]. It’s a stressful situation,” he said.
“The producers can select 30 amazing women or 30 amazing men, and they might not be your person. …That’s the stresses of being the lead, the pressures of the expectation. … What if my person’s not in this group? It’s a truly terrifying situation at times,” he continued.
The anticipated fence dilemma comes after two dramatic episodes, in which Colton sent home several women, including Demi and Katie, as well asOnyeka and Nicole. Meanwhile, Sydney also made the decision to leave on her own.
At the end oflast week’s episode, Colton grew worried after the third contestant of the show who was being sent home expressed her concern about him picking the wrong person.
“You know who is ready in there and there’s some that aren’t,” Katie told Colton while he was walking her out. “Just be smart about those girls.”

The comment left Colton feeling on edge with self-doubt.
“That’s the third person who has said that there are people who are still here who aren’t ready,” he said to a producer. “I thought when Sydney said it she was talking about Demi.”
“Am I f—– missing something?”
With seven women left vying for his love, Colton will now head to his hometown of Denver, Colorado with the ladies, where even more drama is sure to unfold.
