Hannah Brown, the former star of The Bachelorette, visited ex-flame Peter Weber on his debut episode of The Bachelor. Hannah revealed to him that she only reconnected with Tyler Cameron because Weber never reached out.
Last summer Hannah was cast as the star of season 15’s The Bachelorette. Fans rooted for her as she sifted through the eligible bachelors in search of the love of her life while confronting serious issues like slut-shaming, religion, and lying. It was especially heartbreaking to watch as Hannah gave hear heart to contestant Jed Wyatt when she got engaged to him, just to find out that he had lied to her the whole time. It was revealed that he had been in a relationship when he left to film the show. This realization made Hannah rethink her decision and she called off the engagement to Jed. Fans watched her struggle romantically after with dating runner-up Tyler Cameron and watched as she got heartbroken again when he started dating supermodel Gigi Hadid. Then she jumped both feet into the Dancing with the Stars season 28.
In the thick of Dancing with the Stars, Hannah showed up to pay a surprise visit to her former love (and four-time wind-mill lover) and current Bachelor, Weber. Hannah arrived in a limo, with the purpose of returning Weber’s co-pilot wings that he had gifted her upon his arrival on The Bachelorette. After that initial meeting, she returned to host the group date for the women, where she recounted her romp in the windmill. Finally, the two exes have a moment alone for a heart to heart talk (via Entertainment Weekly). She tells the pilot that seeing him again was “terrible,” because of her feelings for him. Peter then admitted that a part of him was hoping that she was there to compete for his heart as a contestant and not to return the wings. That’s when Hannah admitted that she had no idea what she was thinking by sending him home in Greece. She sobbed to him, “I’m really f*cked up!” She said, “I question what I should have done.”
Peter then asked Hannah if she ever considered asking him out on the After the Final Rose finale instead of Tyler. He revealed that seeing her confess her feelings for Tyler on live TV instead of him hurt him. This past hurt boiled over, telling her, “I don’t want to be someone’s, like, third option.” He continued, “Then it was just tough because I found out you’d moved, like, 20 minutes from where I live… I thought that I was not confused, but now, I don’t know.” Hannah defended herself, saying that Tyler had reached out to her after the finale while Peter “didn’t say anything.” She added, “I thought you wanted to be the Bachelor!”
Though Hannah’s obligations with Dancing with the Stars were likely too demanding to allow for Hanah to continue on as anything with Peter. Though, her appearance did throw quite a monkey wrench into the competition as Peter fretted over his residual feelings for Hannah. While it may be unfair to the batch of beautiful prospective girls that are eager to get to know Peter, there’s hope that this meeting allowed for some closure for these two former Bachelorette stars.
