Colton Underwood

Cassie Randolph is keeping it very real on Instagram.

And that unfortunately means the following right now:

There's something strange going on within Bachelor Nation.

The folks who have starred in some iteration of The Bachelor and/or The Bachelorette seem to have lost all interest in dating civilians, and now, they're only hooking up with people who have once given or received a rose in the presence of Chris Harrison.

Cassie Randolph may have been Colton Underwood's first, but it's now official:

She will not be his last.

As previously reported in unfortunate detail, Colton Underwood has been diagnosed with Covid-19.

The former The Bachelor, who anchored Season 23 of this beloved ABC series, opened up about the illness a few days ago, admitting that the virus is very serious and totally exhausting.

As previously detailed, Colton Underwood has been diagnosed with the novel Coronavirus.

This sucks for the former Bachelor, who anchored Season 23 of the ABC franchise.

As it turns out, Bachelor Nation is not immune from Covid-19.

Because, in case it isn't apparent by now, no one is immune from Covid-19.

As you're probably aware, Peter Weber wasn't the most popular Bachelor in the series' history.

In fact, phrases like "total waste of time" and "never watching this show again" are often deployed in conversations about his time on the show.

As a result of selecting Cassie Randolph as his favorite suitor to conclude the latest season of The Bachelor, Colton Underwood has realized that two things are awesome:

ONE: Sex.

Hannah Brown is a divisive figure in Bachelor Nation.

But whether you love her or hate her, there are two truths about Hannah that you simply can't deny:

Some things just aren't meant to last forever.

Don't get us wrong, Rachel Lindsay married Bryan Abasolo after a long engagement. But she and Raven Gates had a massive falling out.

Cassie Randolph is getting real about her relationship with Colton Underwood and she would like everyone to know -- they're fine!

Last night, the reality star shared a sweet photo along with a novel-lengthed post to Instagram where she opened up about the "scrutiny" she and Colton have faced since their time on the ABC dating show.

Colton Underwood is willing to jump a fence for the love of his life, Cassie Randolph, but when it comes to moving in with her well he's not quite there yet. 

The ABC star is opening up about how he and Cassie are trying to avoid past mistakes made by Bachelor couples and take things slow -- which ok, fine -- that's pretty rational. 

From the start of his time on The Bachelor, Colton Underwood did things a little differently from the show's previous stars.

The most obvious departure from the norm, of course, was that Colton was a virgin, and he left the show without taking full advantage of the Fantasy Suite.

Colton Underwood is not entirely sure how the female body works.

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who watched the most recent season of The Bachelor, considering ABC hammered home the fact that Colton had never ever gone all the way with a woman before.

The Bachelor ended with a twist, and now everyone is wondering: will Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph actually get married?

They're not even engaged yet -- just dating, and learning more about each other.

So much for that temporary Bachelor brouhaha.

A week-plus after hurling a bit of shade in the direction of Cassie Randolph for the way in which she destroyed the heart and soul of Colton Underwood when she rejected him on air... Ben Higgins has reached back out to the Celebrity Couple of the Moment.

Based on their reactions to reconnecting on The Bachelor finale this week, Cassie Randolph and Colton Underwood are very clearly a happy couple.

But one question still remains:

Colton Underwood did not propose on The Bachelor finale last night.

But it wasn't the marital status about which most viewers were curious anyway.

The Bachelor finale has come and gone, and Colton Underwood got his happy ending.

But after some major deviations from the show's usual "script," he and Cassie are not actually engaged just yet.

There was high drama on Tuesday night's Bachelor season finale.

But not of the typical kind.
