refused his rose<\/a>.<\/p>\nTerri, 61, was one of the hopefuls offered a chance to stay another week at the rose ceremony.<\/p>\n
But when Bear called out her name, Terri hesitated, leaving the other women confused.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Property Investor from Victoria tentatively stepped forward – and delivered Barry a shocking blow.<\/p>\n
‘Will you accept this rose?’ a befuddled Bear asked again, his gaze fixed on a stony-faced Terri.<\/p>\n
‘I thought long and hard about it. I’m not going to accept your rose,’ Terri admitted, to gasps from the other ladies.<\/p>\n

After the camping adventure, they had a rose ceremony and Bear was left reeling when one of the ladies refused his rose<\/p>\n
Bear whisked her away to talk privately, with Terri confessing: ‘It’s\u00a0so emotional.\u00a0I just don’t want to get hurt. It’s just such a big emotional rollercoaster.’<\/p>\n
He comforted her, saying,\u00a0‘I just can only imagine how you must be feeling. My heart goes out to you.’<\/p>\n
Terri was tearful as she explained her decision, revealing that while she had observed Bear make a connection with other ladies, that same spark was lacking between the two of them – leaving her in fear of getting hurt.<\/p>\n
‘I’m grateful for these women that I’ve gotten to know.\u00a0It just shows to me that there are so many (romances) that are just blooming,’ she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I’m really grateful for my time with Bear, and every moment I spoke to him. But I know what he’s got, and I’m just not there.’<\/p>\n
Terri then left the show, with the other women absolutely shocked by what had transpired.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Refusing a rose is rarely seen on The Bachelor franchise, and has happened only a handful of times in the show’s history.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Terri had very little time with Bear during a camping trip with the other ladies during Sunday’s episode.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only Sunny scored a one-on-one date, leaving several of the women upset – and one, Kim, in tears, over her lack of connection with the Bachelor.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Golden Bachelor was full of drama on Sunday night’s episode.
