Juan Pablo and More: The Biggest 'Bachelor' Finale Controversies Ever

March 13, 2014 -- intro: Whether you agreed with him or booed at him, Juan Pablo Galavis certainly got "Bachelor" fans talking after he refused to tell Nikki Ferrell he loved her during the season finale. Then, in what was one of the most awkward "After the Final Rose" episodes in "Bachelor" history, the Venezuelan single father got into a heated exchange with host Chris Harrison after he refused to reveal the couple's future plans.

"I'm hoping at least, it was just an orchestrated event by him to, somehow and in some way, get back at me or the show. I don't know what his motivation was for what he pulled last night," Harrison told ABC News the next day. "That was the most puzzling thing."

But it was hardly the first time audiences have been left scratching their heads after the close of a "Bachelor" season. Remember these cringe-worthy moments from "After the Final Rose" and beyond?

quicklist: 1title: Jason Mesnick Dumped Melissa Rycrofttext: Immediately after they got engaged on the season finale, Rycroft said she could sense something shift with Jason Mesnick. However, nothing could have prepared her for what came next: He dumped her on "After the Final Rose," saying he was still in love with the runner-up, Molly Malaney. Rycroft was devastated. "You chose Melissa, but you don't want to fight for Melissa," she said, speaking in the third person. "You put a ring on Melissa's finger, you told Melissa you loved her and wanted to spend the rest of your life with her but you don't want to fight to see if that could work because you're having doubts over someone else who you already said goodbye to." "I wish I could control what I was feeling," he replied. "And if I could control my heart and my head, in a second, I would do that." He later married Malaney and the two now have a daughter. media: 22889358

quicklist: 2title: Ben Flajnick and Courtney Robertson Were on the Road to Splittingtext: Though Flajnick said during "After the Final Rose" that he and Robertson were "in a good place" and engaged, it was clear that the couple had been having trouble. In fact, he'd broken up with the model once after the media took aim at the couple between filming and "After the Final Rose." When Robertson, who appeared on the show without her engagement ring, said that she didn't trust Flajnick completely, he admitted he'd made a mistake. They ended the show happily, but wouldn't commit to a wedding date. It never came, and they broke up shortly thereafter.media: 22889120

"I'm not asking for an apology, I'm asking for an explanation," she told him, according to a report. "I'm looking for some type of an understanding so that when I leave here today I still won't wake up tomorrow morning wondering what happened. I felt like you were the person I was supposed to be with." He then broke up with her again: "You deserve more than some guy that's going to stand up there and say, 'I'm in love with you' when I can't say that." She eventually married Stephen Stagliano and the two just welcomed their first child.media: 22889014

However, it was not meant to be, with Maynard complaining about Womack's temper during "After the Final Rose." "Going through it, everything was so real for me," she told Harrison. "Watching it, I'm trying to figure out what's reality TV and what's my reality. ... He said a couple times that he fell in love pretty early and I just felt [that] if he fell in love pretty early, then there should be some things that were saved for just me and I don't feel like, obviously the engagement, but other than that, I felt like a dime a dozen." The two postponed their wedding and then later split. Maynard is now engaged. media: 22889250
