Chris Harrison weighs in on The Bachelor finale: 'I hated to watch it'
was verbally eviscerated by his mother, Barbara, on live television, to the discomfort of the world., Harrison got honest about his experiences that night. "It was unfortunate. It really was, in all seriousness. I hated to watch it, I hated to be there," he told Cagle and cohost Julia Cunningham. "It was kind of sad, I was disappointed by the whole thing. And I tried to fix it, I just couldn't fix it.
Harrison, who is typically more reserved in his thoughts about finales, referenced his own experiences as a father when discussing how the events of Tuesday night made him feel. "My initial instinct and gut was more like I was sick to my stomach, watching Peter go through this," he reflected. "It just got worse and worse. I guess my point is this: I'm a dad too.
He also doubled down on his belief that Barb made the wrong choice by digging in her heels on air. "The thing is, odds are she's right, because odds are relationships don't work. But do you need to say 'I told you so' to your son?" he said. "There are times in life when you're right, but you're still wrong. And this is one of those cases."
Reflecting on what it was like being in the room that night, he added, "Peter's defenses got up, his walls got up, and it was really uncomfortable." Harrison also revealed that at the end of the broadcast, Barb and her husband had left through one exit, while Peter and Madison were still reeling in the aftermath backstage. "I walked backstage and Peter and Madison were back there, and he was visibly upset," he said. "Peter was visibly upset and mad and hurt. He felt betrayed, I'm sure."
