The [infamous fence jump](https://www.theringer.com/tv/2019/3/4/18250486/the-bachelor-season-23-episode-9-recap) was the beginning of the end for Colton Underwood, the football player-turned-philanthropist starring in the 23rd season of the romance reality show. And, as anyone who watched his [heart-wrenching breakup](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2019/03/05/bachelor-colton-finally-jumps-fence-lets-break-down-every-fragile-moment/?utm_term=.6d2c99617c9e) last week with Cassie knows, he's basically screwed. *Bachelor* host Chris Harrison loves to hype up viewers about "the most dramatic season finale ever," but this one might actually take the title. On Monday night, Underwood returned from the darkness of Portugal to tearily break up with Tayshia and Hannah G. With no women left officially left in the competition, his plan now is to go after the recently departed Cassie in hopes she'll change her mind about their relationship. Tuesday's finale promises to be the exact kind of thank-God-that's-not-me disaster you need to distract you from real life for a few hours. Want to find out what happens?
