Nick Viall, who was “The Bachelor” in the show’s 21st season, recently watched the season finale where Clayton Echard is the contender.

Viall took to Instagram and TikTok to share his thoughts – he was in disbelief for what he’d watched.

He also called this season’s finale, the “most dramatic season finale yet.”

[{"selector":"#anim-eb5c9ae8-0341-4a4f-a0b6-e8afb1b3ed1f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e867a25-5464-4a1e-9244-e8e244781c46","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 206.92264%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With Viall’s encyclopedic ‘Bachelor’ knowledge, he also recalled Colton Underwood’s fence-jumping incident after leaving Cassie Randolph.

Host Jesse Palmer also reflected on the season’s end and said it was ‘dramatic’ and ‘unforgettable.’

During the ‘Women Tell All’ special, the contests on Echard’s season criticized the season’s nemesis, Shanae Ankney.
