Shock, horror, OUTRAGE – that about sums up Bachelor Nation’s reaction to ABC’s naming of its newest Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. (poor guy!). Bachelor audiences didn't warmly welcome the former Bachelorette star, like in years' past, after ABC made their highly anticipated Bachelor announcement on Good Morning America Thursday morning. As OK! readers know, all signs pointed to Eric Bigger, Ben Zorn, or Peter Kraus being chosen as the next Bachelor (the show’s creator, Mike Fleiss, even tweeted all three guys' names as top contenders earlier this week). So, Arie’s naming came as quite the surprise for Bach fans. And surprise seemed to lead to straight up irritation as devout Bachelor fans took to Twitter to express their frustration with ABC’s casting decision. Click through to see some of the funniest tweets!
