— -- On Monday night's "The Bachelor: The Women Tell All," the eliminated contestants returned to dish about their experiences.

The "Bachelor" himself, Ben Higgins, appeared during the last 30 minutes of the two-hour special. The two finalists, JoJo and Lauren B., were not present.

Early on in the special, there was tension between Jubilee, Jami and Amber. The latter two claimed that Jubilee said during filming that she was the "real black girl" on the show. Jubilee denied it at first, then conceded that she referred to herself as a "full black girl," and apologized.

Jubilee then sat down with host Chris Harrison for a more in-depth conversation. She said of her time during the competition, "In my mind I never really thought...someone like me could win Ben." She added that Ben handled the discussion about the death of her family as well as she could have hoped.

Jubilee ended her segment with an update on her life: she remains in the military, as a sergeant in the Reserves.

Next, Lace, who quit the competition after rubbing other bachelorettes the wrong way by complaining she wasn't getting enough time with Ben, reflected on her experience. She admitted to Harrison that she "didn't know how to act" while she was on the show, and that she was striving to improve her behavior.

In an awkward moment, a man in the audience interrupted the conversation and showed off a tattoo of Lace he had on his rib cage. Harrison took a photo of Lace and her strange fan. Afterward, Harrison invited Lace to take part in the next season of "Bachelor in Paradise." She accepted.

When Olivia took the hot seat, Amanda chided her for commenting that Ben should run away from Amanda because she has children. Others chimed in and called Olivia a bully. Olivia insisted that she hadn't actively tried to make anyone's life miserable.

Olivia said her own feelings were hurt during filming by the other bachelorettes who ridiculed her for her appearance. She tearfully said the past few months have been difficult for her because she's been attacked on social media. "It's a rough place right now," she said.

She said of her time on the show, "I didn't do it right, but I learned." She then apologized to Amanda.

Caila, who was eliminated on last week's episode in Jamaica, chatted with Harrison, saying she'd never felt the way she'd felt about Ben before. When Ben told her that he loved JoJo and Lauren B. but not her, Caila remembered, "It really hurt because he never got there with me. It hurt because I fell in love with him."

Ben emerged from backstage and reiterated to Caila how he wouldn't "discount" their relationship, but that his romances with JoJo and Lauren B. had progressed further.

Ben, who is currently engaged, confessed that he's now more in love than he's ever been. He said of his mystery fiancée, "I would marry that woman tomorrow if I could."

Harrison put Ben on the spot by asking if he could properly identify twins Emily and Haley. Ben did.

The special wrapped up with a sneak peek at next Monday night's season finale.
