The Bachelor's Ashley Iaconetti was picked to square off against controversial bachelorette Kelsey Poe in a two-on-one date with show star Chris Soules, and it wasn't pretty.

"The two of them badmouth each other to Chris and what transpires is one of the most explosive altercations ever. When the dust clears, who is still there?" ABC said in a statement of the two highly combative and emotional women.
"I have a bit of a rap for being a drama queen, but I'm just an emotional person all the time -- on-camera and off-camera," Iaconetti told People.
"It was not only an emotional process in general being on The Bachelor, but being in the two-on-one against Kelsey, who, not just me but all the other girls felt frustrated by the fact that Chris didn't necessarily see the Kelsey that we saw."
Iaconetti, a 26-year-old nanny from Wayne, NJ, was so frustrated in fact, she decided to confront Soules and Poe about her concerns.
"I was very thrown off by how Chris handled the situation," Iaconetti said, promising that the date "will be shocking."
Iaconetti said the whole experience and environment was tough for her to handle -- even before heading out on that pressure-filled two-on-one date with a girl she disliked.
"At that point, you don't really know how Chris feels about any of the girls," Iaconetti told the magazine. "You know that being the top nine, he likes you all. Anyone would have been a threat. It's just the fact that the two-on-one date is kind of like dating Gladiators. It definitely puts more pressure on you."
Iaconetti's interview with People revealed a spoiler in that although Poe, a 28-year-old guidance counselor from Austin, TX, had suffered what appeared to be a panic attack moments before the Rose Ceremony, the Bachelor still ended up giving her a rose.
