Jean Blanc's departure on The Bachelorette just might go down as the most cringeworthy exit in Bachelor Nation history. In case you need a quick refresher, here's the SparkNotes on what went down with the so-called "colognoisseur" this week. When the 31-year-old was scored some alone time with Becca during a group date, he gifted her with a perfume called Miss Becca Blanc. Then things went from sweet to awkward when he went to "whisper" something in her ear, only to plant a surprise kiss on her. Though she was a bit caught off guard and turned off, she cracked a joke to ease the apparent discomfort. Later on in the evening, Jean stole Becca away for another chat during which he admitted that he was "falling in love" with her — after just four weeks of knowing her and only going on group dates. Mmmmkay. Becca, who was clearly thrown off by his out-of-the-blue declaration, explained that they weren't on the same page and decided to walk him out of the house and remove him from the competition. But Jean didn't go down without a fight, as he dug himself a deeper grave by admitting that he professed his apparent love for Becca only because he thought it was "what [she] wanted to hear." Yiiiikes. Needless to say, viewers had a LOT of feelings about Jean's BS, as Twitter was flooded with a plethora of hilarious reactions to the strange situation. Good riddance, Jean Blanc — can't say we'll miss you.<doc-sep>Even though the last episode of The Bachelorette had two rose ceremonies, Jean Blanc didn't get sent home at either of them. Instead, he got eliminated in the middle of a group date. Talk about dramatic, but it was so necessary. So many viewers tweeted reactions to Becca eliminating Jean Blanc during Week 4 of The Bachelorette, and they just couldn't help having a strong response. Jean Blanc told Becca he was falling in love with her, even though it's just the first week out of the mansion and they hadn't even had a solo date yet. It was too much too soon and the Bachelorette herself was clearly overwhelmed by his enthusiasm, given their lack of chemistry. He went in for the kiss and their was still zero spark between them. Then he turned the awkwardness up a notch. The self-proclaimed colognoisseur gave Becca her own customized perfume called Becca Blanc. Then he decided to come back for more quality time while other guys on the group date still didn't get any alone time with Becca that night. Becca clearly wasn't feeling it and offered to walk him out, i.e. eliminate him immediately. Then he told Becca that he wasn't really falling in love with her and just said it for the sake of it. Jean Blanc even had the nerve to ask about her keeping the perfume he had made for her. Becca was devastated by his blatant dishonesty and once again, Twitter users came out in full force to defend the beloved Bachelorette star. 1 He Came On Too Strong cecilelonjaret on Twitter Jean Blanc had to know that the scent-related puns were inevitable when he talked about his love for cologne during his intro video and when he gave Becca perfume. He really did come on too strong though. 2 He Did Not Earn A Lot Of Fans This Season lea_michele24 on Twitter At first, the cologne fixation was sort of funny. He was super relatable when he reacted to Lincoln's claim that the world was flat. Then any good will he built up with the fandom just fell apart after that super awkward exchange with Becca during the group date. 3 He Said What He Thought She Wanted barrettsallee on Twitter Did Jean Blanc get manipulated by producers? Did he just think that Becca wanted to hear that? Why would he bother telling her he was falling in love only to say he really wasn't immediately after? This was not thought out. At all. 4 He Had No Idea What To Say grandfinalley on Twitter He had no idea what to say. He just kept digging his grave even deeper- clearly "drawing a blanc" searching for the right words. 5 He Moved Too Quickly seraannh on Twitter This was episode 4. They just left the mansion. He didn't even have a one on one date. This was just way too much too soon. 6 He Did Not Have A Good Reaction To The Elimination kathrynseely on Twitter Why couldn't he just walk out with some class instead of taking back his own words and asking Becca about the perfume he gave her? 7 He Gave Her A Perfume marysnap11 on Twitter It's (usually) nice to get a gift, but the perfume was just so awkward. They did not appear to have any real connection and it just was very off base given the depth of their relationship. 8 He Managed To Outdo Jordan themegavitamin on Twitter Jordan made everyone uncomfortable in those gold booty shorts, but Jean Blanc managed to prove an even more cringe-worthy moment. 9 He Just Kept Making It Worse eastofsun on Twitter Just when it seemed like the conversation couldn't get any worse, it did. Over and over again. 10 He Made Becca AND The Viewers Uncomfortable alia81701 on Twitter That. Was. So. Awkward. Of course he was nervous since he was in such an unusual situation attempting to date on a reality TV show, but it just gave some viewers vicarious embarrassment. 11 He Said Was Falling In Love WAY Too Soon diggymoreland on Twitter When the Bachelorette herself feels like someone is moving way too fast during an eight weeks of filming a reality TV show, then it has to be way too fast. This show is known for its fast pace, so if Jean Blanc was moving quickly given this context, it had to be way out of hand. Even Diggy, who appeared on Rachel's season, weighed in. 12 He Set Himself Up For Failure bachplease on Twitter This tweet wasn't actually about the elimination, but Jean Blanc definitely provided some foreshadowing for his demise when he said this and proceeded to fail at the lumberjack task. That was just so beyond awkward to watch. It's possible Jean Blanc just let his nerves get the best of him. It's also possible that he was just saying what he "needed" to say in order to stay on the show. No matter what was really happening there, it was just a tough encounter to watch.<doc-sep>Too soon! Way too soon! Things move fast onThe Bachelorette, but not fast enough that Becca Kufrin is ready to become Mrs. Becca Blanc by week four (and probably just day eight) of the competition. Lesson learned for the "colognoisseur" -- and for the rest of the guys, as our Bachelorette proved she's not afraid to lay down the law and tell her men wassup. But Jean Blanc's declaration of love (and subsequent take-back) wasn't the only highlight of Monday's episode, as fans were also treated to David's big face reveal, a bombshell from Garrett that he's already been married -- and another one from Wills that his ex wanted a "hall pass" (yes, really). Please enjoy this week's highlights, brought to you as cheesy fragrances in honor of the departed Jean Blanc. Good Ol' Dad A familiar, earthy scent reminiscent of the outdoors and one's own dad is fitting for one guy and one guy only: Garrett. This week, we got a little notes of honesty, as well, when Garrett revealed on his one-on-one date that he was divorced, having split from his ex-wife just two months after they married. "She was very emotionally abusive," Garrett claimed, alleging that his wife would take him down emotionally only to build him back up, and drove a wedge between his family. "No one in my entire bloodline had ever been divorced before." "I sense the loyalty and the commitment. That's what I want in a partner," Becca responded. Desperation This one goes out to the star of this week's episode, Jean Blanc, who proved sometimes it is too late to say "Sorry" -- and too early to say "I'm falling in love you." "I don't know if I'm on that same page. This is a lot," Becca responded when presented with the bombshell during the group date. "I think we're just on different wavelengths right now." Being the colognoisseur he was, Jean Blac couldn't say goodbye without leaving a stench in the room and awkwardly asking for the "Mrs. Becca Blanc" perfume he gifted Becca back. And to top it all off, he told Becca he only declared his love to her because he thought that's what she wanted to hear. Bad move. Winter Fresh While Jean Blanc being shady had her in tears, Wills was ready to winter fresh-en up the joint, and brought back Becca's sparkle. The two had a lovely date doing winter things like snowmobiling, and connected at dinner over shady exes. As it turns out, Wills' ex told him she wanted a "hall pass," and when he shot down that idea, he spotted her out with another man. "We were talking about getting married," he emotionally shared, as Becca related with Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s post-finale switcheroo. Nothing brings two people together like betrayal! Jordan, David and Colton also got a little screen time during the episode, but it looks like next week will really be their time to shine. Talk about this and much more at ET's Facebook group, Group Date. The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Sometimes the most interesting moments on The Bachelorette are the departures, and Jean Blanc's was certainly one to remember (and cringe at). The 31-year-old was very vocal about wanting a one-on-one date with Becca Kufrin, but that didn't happen, and he ended up on a group date during week four. His alone time with Becca went from fine . . . to awkward . . . to confusingly rude? Jean, a colognoisseur, presented Becca with a perfume called Miss Becca Blanc. Then he went to "whisper" something in her ear, which was really a cover-up for a kiss. It certainly wasn't the most awkward kiss we've ever seen in Bachelor history, partly because Becca made a joke so the two could laugh in the moment. Enter Leo With the Good Hair to steal Becca away! But Jean wasn't quite done with Becca and got alone time with her once again. Now this is where things get good (or bad, depending on how you look at it). "I know relationships are developing on a different pace and a different level, and I feel as though the connection really [has] always been there," Jean said. "I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I really haven't felt like this in a long time, and I wanted to let you know that I'm truly falling for you. And I'm falling in love with you." OK, so again, this is only the fourth week of the show. We have a long, dramatic season to go. But hey, if Jean is feeling it, he's feeling it! The problem, however, is that he's not actually feeling it. Becca expressed that she didn't know key parts about Jean's life (i.e. his past relationships) that would make him feel that way so soon. Understandably, it's a lot to take in. Becca told Jean that she didn't know if she was on the same page, and it looked like there was no going back to the spark they had at the start. She decided to walk Jean out (aka leaving the show). Now, Jean could have gracefully exited the show with the reputation that he came on too strong and didn't seem super sincere. But he made things worse as they were walking out. "What about the gift?" he asked. "Do you want the perfume?" Becca replied. At this point, Bachelor Nation had so many questions. Did he expect a reimbursement? Did he want the bottle back? Was accepting the perfume a contract of marriage? Basically, Jean couldn't understand why the spark they had in the beginning had drifted so far off-track. But it's not about the perfume, Jean, IT'S NOT ABOUT THE PERFUME. "I just didn't realize where you were at in your feelings for me," Becca said. "It's not necessarily where I'm at," Jean said. "I just thought that's where you wanted to take things and you were ready and that's what you wanted to hear." Obviously, this really upset Becca. The two actually had a good connection, but things quickly changed. So they had an awkward goodbye, wished each other the best, and that was it. Becca went back to the other men on the group date and told them that she was pissed and felt so disrespected by what Jean did. So she reiterated that all she wants is honesty and she doesn't want anyone there who isn't going to give her that. Jean, you made a big mistake. Big. Huge.
