1. Meet the Parents…Twice
As with every Bachelor season, there comes the time for the final two ladies to meet the Bachelor’s parents. When Lauren B. is welcomed into the Higgins’ home, she makes a lasting first impression with Ben’s parents, but she must win over his dad in particular. JoJo, although a little nervous, also leaves his folks equally impressed. Ben’s mother recognizes her vulnerability which appeals to her. Which woman would Ben’s mom pick for her son?

2. A Phone Call That Could Change Everything
Confused and uncertain on that final day, Ben makes a last-minute phone call that could alter his life forever. Who is Ben calling? Who has captured his heart? Will he propose to Lauren B. or JoJo? We have so many questions!
3. Man Cries
You can definitely expect some man tears on this Bachelor finale. And although man cries can be entertaining at times – Ahem, Pulling a Mesnick comes to mind! – our hearts break for Ben. We know that he has told both JoJo and Lauren B. that he loves them and now he prepares to make one of the most difficult choices of his life. According this must-see Bachelor finale sneak peek, Ben says, “Being in love with two women, it’s tearing me apart. I can feel my mind in two different places, my heart in two different places…I’m lost. I’m a lost man right now.” Through tears he continues, “I have to say goodbye to a woman who doesn’t deserveit…and I’m confused about that."
Ben gets ready to present the final rose on The Bachelor 2016 finale.
4. Heartbreak, Tears and Final Dates
As much as Ben loves both Lauren and JoJo, in the history of The Bachelor, he inevitably will leave one heartbroken. In the finale, Ben’s date with Lauren B. doesn’t go according to plan. His unexpected behavior sends this woman into panic mode. Then, during his final date with JoJo, she confesses that she cannot picture life without him. Although JoJo is confident of her feelings for Ben, he drops a bombshell. Instead of the dates bringing clarity to his situation, they leave him with more doubt.
