Over dozens of seasons, there have been countless breakups on "The Bachelor."
But these 11 stand out when reflecting on the show's history.
Watching Rachel Recchia have an emotional breakdown during this season of "The Bachelor" was tough.
Clayton went through three breakups during his season finale, but none was more heart-wrenching than when he broke up with Rachel.Echard and Recchia.
ABC
Clayton first traumatized his final two contestants, Gabby and Rachel, when he decided to tell them during a rose ceremony that he was in love with both of them and had slept with both of them during Fantasy Suites. While Gabby responded with righteous anger, Rachel was simply devastated — her sobs echoed throughout the building — but she still stayed.
Unfortunately, Clayton decided to end things with them two days later in a joint breakup, after deciding he still loved Susie (who had already left the show).
Again, Gabby was angry (and it was iconic), and Rachel was shattered. She told him that she had fought for him every day, that this decision would "haunt" him, and expressed disbelief that he was about to put her in a car to leave. She even told the cameras she couldn't believe he didn't shed a single tear, while she was crying buckets in front of him.
Thankfully, Gabby and Rachel were both able to tell Clayton off at "After the Final Rose," and then were subsequently named the next Bachelorettes. Not too bad of a consolation prize.
When Brooks — seemingly out of nowhere — revealed he wasn't in love with Desiree, she was devastated.Brooks and Desiree.
ABC
During Desiree's season, it seemed like Brooks was her clear front-runner and he made it all the way to the end of the show. But, seemingly out of nowhere, Brooks pulled Desiree aside and told her that he wasn't in love with her during the finale in Antigua.
Desiree's response, understandably, was to sob. Watching the two of them cry together and process their breakup was one of the rawest moments in the show's history.
There are few more iconic images than Jason weeping over a balcony after sending runner-up Molly home.Jason.
ABC
Yes, it all worked out in the end, and Jason and Molly eventually reunited after the show aired — but we'd posit it should've been obvious they were soulmates when it looked like Jason was seriously considering jumping off the balcony to get her to come back.
When Rachel and Peter broke up, Rachel cried so hard her fake eyelashes came off.Peter and Rachel.
ABC
Much like Desiree and Brooks, Rachel and Peter seemed rock solid all season long — that is, until Peter made it clear he wasn't going to be able to propose at the end of the season.
Rachel was devastated, and viewers watched their agonizingly long breakup, as they each refused to compromise on their beliefs. While we watched a condensed version, it was obvious they spent hours trying to hash things out. Rachel cried her eyelashes off! Bachelor Nation will never forget.
One of "Bachelor in Paradise's" shocking and saddest breakups was when Kirk completely blindsided Carly.Kirk and Carly.
ABC
Kirk and Carly had been so stable the entire season, the rest of their castmates had been calling them the "married couple." But in the finale, Kirk sat Carly down and dumped her at the last second before Fantasy Suites. This came so far out of left field that Carly jokingly asked if he was breaking up with her ... and then he did.
It felt like viewers were intruding when they watched Arie break up with his fiancée Becca on camera.Arie and Becca.
ABC
While this wouldn't be the first (or last) time a lead dumped their final rose recipient to return to their runner-up, it was the first time viewers got such an intimate look at the entire thing. Becca thought they were having a "happy couple weekend," which is what winning couples do in between the show finishing filming and airing on TV.
Instead, she was brutally dumped on camera by Arie, who refused to leave when she asked him repeatedly to leave her alone so she could process. This stuck with viewers so much that she became the next "Bachelorette" star, and received thousands of dollars on Venmo for wine money.
Becca, for her part, was also involved in a very upsetting breakup when she picked Garrett over Blake.Blake and Becca.
ABC
For the entire season, it seemed like Blake and Becca were solid, especially to Blake. But towards the end, Blake began spiraling and doubting their relationship.
It turns out, his fears were well-founded. Becca picked Garrett, but before they could ride off into the sunset, she had to break Blake's heart in the very hot Maldives sun. He was sweating bullets, and to add insult to injury, Becca told Blake she had been pretty sure she was going to pick him, until she changed her mind.
Kaitlyn's season wasn't Nick's first go-around, but their breakup was much tougher to watch than his breakup with Andi.Kaitlyn and Nick.
ABC
Nick joined Kaitlyn's season late, after it was revealed they had been texting prior to her becoming the Bachelorette. While he didn't make any friends during the season, his connection to Kaitlyn was always evident.
At the finale, Kaitlyn let Nick go through his entire speech, and even let him take out the ring, before she decided to step in. Nick's feeble "No?" after she told him to stop remains heartbreaking years later.
After Hannah broke up with Tyler, she went on to pick someone who had been lying to her all season.Tyler and Hannah.
ABC
Tyler C. is one of the most popular contestants in "Bachelor" history, so it was sad enough to see Hannah break up with him. But what made it doubly upsetting was that viewers knew something Hannah didn't — she had picked Jed, who had been lying to her all season about having a girlfriend back home.
There's no doubt that "Bachelorette" fans all over the country were screaming at their TV screens when Hannah dumped Tyler.
JoJo crying in an airplane hangar after breaking up with Luke is unforgettable.JoJo.
ABC
Even though it was pretty obvious that JoJo was picking Jordan, it didn't make it any less sad when she blindsided Luke after hometowns and sent him packing. The breakup affected her so much she squatted in the middle of an airplane hangar in a skintight dress and started sobbing. It still tugs at our heartstrings years later.
The end of JoJo's relationship with Ben was also very sad in its own right.Ben and JoJo.
ABC
Ben committed the ultimate "Bachelor" sin when he told both Lauren B. and JoJo that he loved them. Understandably, both thought it meant he was picking them, but of course, that's not how the show works.
So, when Ben ended things with JoJo, she was completely devastated. Everyone across Bachelor Nation immediately rallied behind her, and the rest is history.
