The Bachelorette star Becca Kufrin is fed up when it comes to drama after Chris Randone's exit, so she was probably hoping her time in the Bahamas would be smooth sailing.

"The debate took a turn it really didn't have to... Lincoln and Chris [were] bickering back and forth like children. I didn't want the Chris drama to seep its way from Vegas into this week, so I was really hoping all the guys could be adults and put the previous week behind them," Becca wrote in her People blog.
"However, hearing what was said between him and the guys behind closed doors made me put my guard up again."
Becca was referring to the fact Chris had threatened to quit the show because he was receiving enough time with or attention from Becca.
And then during the debate, Chris said Lincoln has "a nasty side" to him that was "malicious," "aggressive," and "degrading." Chris added Becca would be "disgusted" with this alleged side of Lincoln she hadn't seen.
"I was also really uncomfortable and embarrassed with the words coming out of Chris' mouth in front of the Governor of Virginia and 200-plus people," Becca admitted.
"This wasn't the debate that I was hoping for, it wasn't business that needed to leave the group of guys, and I left feeling mortified and disappointed about what went down in front of what felt like the entire town of Richmond. But silver lining -- I at least could see who was still in the race to win my heart."
Heading into the afterparty that night, Becca was well aware the drama from earlier that day would need to be addressed.
"Having Chris not get along with others raised many red flags, so I cautiously started my evening with him and Lincoln. And what a rough start it was. Again, so much back and forth he said/he said, and the things I was hearing on both ends didn't sit well with me," Becca admitted in her blog.
"After both of those conversations, I was feeling exhausted and reeling from the wealth of information I had received. Was Chris truly scaring the guys? Was Lincoln exaggerating when he told me some of the other men wouldn't share a room with Chris?"
Becca had no idea what the answer was, so she felt the need to confront the issue head-on.
"I [could] not let anything slip by me. This was my future we're talking about, and I wasn't about to have another guy pull one over on me," Becca noted.

"I got back on track right away with the men who I felt like I had healthy, growing relationships with," she said.
After Becca embarked on a one-on-one date with Leo Dottavio, Chris showed up at her hotel room and knocked on her door.
"A surprise visitor... quickly gave me all kinds of dreaded deja vu. After my ex [Arie Luyendyk Jr.] showed up in Peru last year, I never wanted to get another strange knock on my door. My heart dropped, and I felt like it would crash through the floor as I slowly opened up to see who would be standing there," Becca wrote.
"Seeing Chris on the other side was unexpected. I wasn't quite sure what he had to say that couldn't wait until the next rose ceremony, but of course I was willing to hear him out. After talking for a few minutes, I felt like I'd heard all of what I needed to hear."
Becca reasoned of her conversation with Chris, "I felt like he was casting blame on everything and everyone around him and couldn't admit that he was the cause of some of these problems."
And that's when Becca's romance with the 29-year-old sales trainer from Orlando, FL, ended.
"I knew in that moment Chris wouldn't be the guy for me in the end, and that it was time to say goodbye to him. Seeing how clearly aggravated he was as he left just gave me all the clarity I needed in that I knew I made the right choice," Becca explained.
