Well, Bachelor Nation, here we are. Bachelorette Becca Kufrin is down to her final two guys, Blake and Garrett, so it's time to check in with some of the men she sent packing earlier in the season — namely, Jake, Christian, Kamil, Christon, John, Jean Blanc, Joe, Nick, Connor, Jordan, Chris, David, Leo, Wills, Colton, and Jason. Given how many fights there were in the mansion, we were expecting some drama at Men Tell All, but we underestimated just how much drama there would be.

Everyone clashes with…everyone: The beginning of this episode was chaos. Chris Harrison kept trying to ask about various incidents from earlier in the season, but every time one person would start talking, another person would jump in to insult that person, and then someone else would jump in to insult that person. So even though there were only 16 guys, it seemed like there were at least 20 different fights happening simultaneously. There wasn't even the illusion of civility — in one of the ugliest moments of the night, Colton accused Jean Blanc of lying to everyone and Jean Blanc responded with a crude remark about Colton's virginity. Not a great look, guys. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
David and Jordan rehash their issues for the millionth time: You can probably guess how this went, even if you didn't watch. Hint: It was just like every other fight they've had. David, to his credit, admitted he took it too far and said he regrets focusing so much on Jordan, but he also spent a lot of time, well, focusing on Jordan. Leo's face in this photo pretty much says it all. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Jordan and Christian almost have a Zoolander-style walk-off: You're probably asking yourself, "Who's Christian?" Fair question, since the banker/male model was sent home on the first night. We're not even sure how he and Jordan started fighting, honestly, but it had something to do with Christian saying he had a "real job" besides modeling. That led to Jordan challenging Christian to a model-off, which then led to Jordan making fun of Christian's pants and shoes. It was as weird as it sounds. Weirder, even. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Jordan says more Jordan things: Jordan was the first to get some time in the hot seat with Chris Harrison, and he took the spotlight and ran with it. At one point, he compared himself to a Rolls Royce and threatened to throw a metaphorical Slurpee at Christian. He also spouted off this gem, which makes as much sense out of context as it did in the episode: "You could literally put me in a cardboard box, and I would have the best time." The best/worst part, though, was when he told Chris he was wearing the infamous golden underwear under his suit, and then stood up like he was going to strip. "Even I don't get paid enough for that," Chris quipped. For the most part, the audience seemed pretty entertained by his antics — that is, until he said he would eat Cap'n Crunch with orange juice. There was an audible groan from the crowd at that, so apparently there are some lines you just cannot cross. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Grocery Store Joe charms everyone (again): Joe Amabile, AKA Grocery Store Joe (or just Grocery Joe), didn't win a single rose from Becca during his (very brief) stint on The Bachelorette, but he did win a whole lot of devoted fans. Somehow, in just a few minutes of screen time on the premiere, he managed to charm all of Bachelor Nation — and he did it again on Men Tell All. Asked how his Bachelorette experience went, he replied almost bashfully, "Pretty bad! I got sent home right away." And when Chris Harrison noted that he was a man of few words, he quipped, "Well, I don't know you too well. But you seem like a great guy." He even got along with Jordan — toward the beginning of the episode, when everyone was fighting, Jordan went down the line and cursed out everyone except Grocery Joe, whom he greeted with a warm (by comparison), "Grocery Store Joe, what's up?"

Wills tells Becca he loves her: Wills was the MVP in terms of hilarious reaction shots throughout Men Tell All, but he wasn't all shimmies and laughs. After his one-on-one with Chris Harrison, during which he revealed when he first started really falling for Becca — in Vegas, after they bonded over a nursery rhyme they both loved as kids — he had a chance to talk to Becca directly. He started by thanking her for healing him in a way he didn't think was possible, then asked where their relationship went wrong for her. After she explained that it didn't go wrong, and that it just came down to where her heart was pulling her, he replied, "I respect that. Love you." Cue the "awwws." (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Colton opens up: Colton was a little too *in* the drama at the beginning of the episode, but he redeemed himself a little during his one-on-one time with Chris Harrison. After they covered the whole Tia mess, Chris asked him about another topic of much discussion: his virginity. "Growing up and being an athlete, it's something that I was ashamed of," he admitted, adding that he used to make up lies to hide it. He also said that cheap shots about it — like the one Jean Blanc threw at him earlier in the episode — are actually really hurtful. "I feel like people think I'm less of a man because of that, and that's the hardest thing for me to hear," he explained, tearing up. "It's sort of sad that it's viewed as 'baggage' or a 'red flag' or 'skeletons in a closet.'" (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Jason relives his heartbreak: When it was Jason's turn in the hot seat, Chris Harrison played back a highlight reel of his relationship with Becca, culminating in their relatively recent and very abrupt goodbye. By the end of it, Jason was very emotional, and he wiped away tears as he admitted how "heart-wrenching" it was to watch again. "She was it," he told Chris. It seems that there are no hard feelings between them, though, because when Becca came out to face the guys, he told her he hoped they could be friends and they hugged it out.

Jean Blanc tries to make amends: Jean Blanc left under less-than-friendly circumstances when he told Becca he was falling for her and then — after she said she didn't feel the same — took it back and claimed he was telling her what he thought she wanted to hear. She was (understandably) angry, and so were the remaining guys, because it made her question everyone's honesty. Returning to Men Tell All to see Becca for the first time since his exit, he apologized for his behavior and offered her some custom perfume as an olive branch of sorts. (Photo via ABC/Paul Hebert)
Chris pulls out all the stops to apologize to Becca: When Chris first stepped out of the limo at the beginning of the season, he brought a choir with him to serenade Becca. It was cheesy, but she seemed to find it charming, so he brought back a few of the singers at Men Tell All as part of an apology for his admittedly terrible behavior. "I'm sorry for feeling entitled and losing control and letting my insecurities take over," he said, before giving the floor to the four choir members, who sang a song called "Chris Was a Jerk."
