Chris Harrison, long-time (and long-suffering) host of The Bachelor, has said this is shaping up to be the most dramatic season ever, and dang son, he wasn’t kidding. Every episode so far has felt like the last 30 minutes of Titanic. Is Peter the Pilot falling in love with Kelsey or Victoria F. or Hannah Ann? This ship is sinking and there surely isn't enough room on that floating door for everyone. Fans of the show have been commenting on it all season and at this point, many are losing their dang minds (and tolerances for BS) over the unnecessary drama.One thing is becoming clear: Pete is in the pursuit of one thing and it ain't love, it's drama. And honestly, that's making things a little more predictable. Monday night saw Pete take the ladies to Lima, Peru where he had special one-on-one dates and one group date. His one-on-ones with Natasha and Kelsey went pretty much as expected: Natasha didn’t get a rose and was sent home, Kelsey got a rose and now is moving forward to meeting-the-folks stage. Who didn’t see that coming?You see: Natasha, bless her soul, was nothing but the vision of maturity and loveliness the entire time. So Peter was like, “peace out.” Kelsey, on the other hand, gave us champagne-gate (long may it reign), and on her one-on-one, cried some more, so of course Pete was eating that up like it was a chicken dinner.[video_embed id='1590349']RELATED: Bachelor contestant Hannah B would NOT like to make a toast[/video_embed]Then, there was a group date feat. Victoria F., Kelley, and Hannah Ann. If you can’t really remember which one Kelley is, don’t worry, no one really does. Why? Because her catchphrase is "I'm an attorney" and she’s been an adult the entire time. No drama; no tears; no storming off in a massive huff; no being blindsided by ex-boyfriends (we're still miffed at the producers for that one). But on this group date, Hannah Ann cried during her private chat with Pete (and also when he gave her a rose, for some inexplicable reason. Girl, you won! Cheer up!), so of course Pete was like, “Oh girl, you staying.”But the thing that has angered fans most is the fact that Victoria F’s chat with Pete was nothing but moody and cranky and ornery. She was kind of mean to him even. Yet she gets a rose, and Kelley is sent home? Peter even said to Victoria as he gave her the rose, “I love what we have. It’s crazy and it’s not conventional, but I don’t mind a little crazy.” Um, CLEARLY. Then as the episode was winding up, they aired the preview for what’s to come during the rest of the season and, if you were hoping for less drama, you don’t know Bach. There's so much to come—Fights! Storming off! Sex! Tears! Chris Harrison intervening before the final rose ceremony! And what’s this? Pete’s momma crying, begging him to “bring her home!” We are shook.But TBH, not shook enough to be bought by that steamy Ghost-inspired promo the show conveniently dropped this week while many fans were questioning if Pete even deserves to be The Bachelor. He doesn't have Whoopi convinced in the video and he can't seem to sway Seth Rogen either, who said it best on Twitter: "This man doesn’t actually do pottery." And he would know.[video_embed id='1896512']BEFORE YOU GO: Brad Pitt is actually a big ‘Letterkenny’ fan[/video_embed]
