No hometowns, no fantasy suites, no big dramatic finale.

'Bachelor,' 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' Romance Check! (13)

ABC

The 24th Bachelor had a tumultuous finale week -- wrestling with his feelings for both Hannah Ann Sluss and MadisonPrewett -- however, his choice seemed to get easier when Madison left Australia before Peter could hand out his final rose, saying that the two were "very different people." (That fantasy suite ultimatum didn't seem to help matters, either.)

While Peter ended up gettingdown on one knee for Hannah Ann, the engagement didn't last long. Peter confessed he was still "struggling" with residual feelings for Madison, and Hannah Ann got fed up with waiting for him to come around. She blamed him for spoiling her first engagement and the pair split. However, thanks to some string-pulling by host Chris Harrison, Peter and Madison ultimately reunited (yes, this all happened during his two-part finale), pledging to take their relationship "one day at a time" -- much to the chagrin of Peter's mother, Barb.

The reunion didn't last long, however.In one of the quickest post-finale splits in recent Bachelor memory, Peter took to Instagram on March 12 to reveal that the pair were no longer together. "Madi and I have mutually decided to not pursue our relationship any further. Believe me this was not easy for either of us to be ok with, but after a lot of honest conversations, we have agreed that this is what makes most sense for the two of us," he wrote, in part. "The love and respect I have for Madi will continue to endure."

Colton Underwood made history when he was announced as the first virgin Bachelor, and the women of Season 23 battled it out for his heart. Colton ultimately fell for Cassie, but when their relationship dramatically derailed, his chance at love seemed to fly out the window (or jump the fence, one might say).

The Bachelor finale saw Colton and Cassie reuniting and making it to the fantasy suite where he may have lost his virginity -- which was this season's version of a marriage proposal, it seems.

However, Colton did tell Chris Harrison during the After the Final Rose special that they are "in love," and Cassie said marriage is "definitely something we've talked about."The pair dated for a year and a half before splitting up in May 2020.

In September 2020, Cassie was granted a temporary restraining order against Colton.A source close to the situation told ET at the time thatRandolph andUnderwoodwere trying to stay friends after announcing their split.

During the shocking season finale, Arie sent Lauren home in tears with an unexpected breakup, and ended up popping the question to Becca, which she excitedly accepted. But where most seasons end, this finale continued, showing unedited footage shoot weeks after the proposal.
