'The Bachelorette' host: Chad Johnson truly had feelings for JoJo Fletcher and wasn't about to just pack up his protein and go

The Bachelorette host Chris Harrison has reflected on the latest episodes and Chad Johnson's role in them, teasing that "even more drama" is yet to come.


"I don't mind guys acting like knuckleheads or playing games, that's up to them. What the show can't stand for is violence," Harrison wrote in his Yahoo! TV blog.

However, The Bachelorette producers didn't take action against Johnson -- other than setting up his fellow suitors with a 24/7 security guard -- because most of his threats were verbal. It was therefore up to JoJo Fletcher whether she wanted to keep the guy in the house, despite complaints, or simply send him packing.

"The news that there was going to be a 2-on-1 hit the guys like a ton of bricks (or like Chad hits a door). [Alex Woytkiw] was determined to take Chad out and Chad was immediately back to full protein-fueled anger. He wanted nothing more than to prove everyone wrong and show them that his connection with JoJo was more meaningful that theirs," Harrison wrote.

"Ah, the two-on-one date. I can't remember a two-on-one date that felt like this one. Alex vs Chad. Chad vs Alex."


While Johnson has been accused of appearing on the show just for fame, fun and attention, Harrison suggested he had genuine feelings for Fletcher.

"If there's one thing we knew for sure, it's that both guys were going to speak their minds and be honest, and we got exactly what we expected," Harrison explained.

"Believe it or not, both of these men truly had feelings for JoJo that trumped any animosity they had towards each other, but the two-on-one really highlights how people get along in group settings, and it's pretty clear that Chad -- well, Chad does not get along in group settings."

On the date, Fletcher confronted Johnson with a question he couldn't dodge. She asked him whether he had threatened any guy in the house, and because Johnson couldn't deny it, Fletcher eliminated him.

"Alex vanquished the giant, but as you saw, Chad was not about to just pack his protein and head home. Chad had more to say to the guys. And in two weeks, he will do exactly that," Harrison teased.


"Thanks for watching our two-night extravaganza. We will miss you next week, but hopefully you'll be ready for even more drama and romance two weeks from now."
