Bachelor Juan Pablo Picks Nikki Ferrell: Former Bachelor Stars, Celebrities React With Shock, Disgust

Nikki Ferrell and Juan Pablo on the finale of The Bachelor
Check out former Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants and celebrities' reactions to Juan Pablo Galavis choosing Nikki Ferrell on the Bachelor finale March 10.

She got the final rose, but not the ring! Juan Pablo Galavis chose Nikki Ferrell over Clare Crawley on the Monday, March 10 finale of the Bachelor Season 18. The 32-year-old Venezuelan-born single dad wasn't ready to propose to Nikki, however, and instead asked the 26-year-old pediatric nurse if she would simply accept his final rose.

His commitment issues seemed even more pronounced during the After the Final Rose special on ABC, in which Juan wasn't even ready to say he loves Nikki, even though she said she's "absolutely" in love with him.

During the last episode and after show special, former Bachelorette Jillian Harris and celebrity fan Sarah Hyland shared their disgust on Twitter and Facebook to the shocking finale. Read on for their messages, and others:
