On Monday night, Iowans turned out in droves to vote in the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses.
But also on Monday another REALLY IMPORTANT contest was also happening!!!
We are talking about The Bachelor of course!
And just as Iowa residents lined up to caucus, thousands of Bachelor fans snuggled in for approximately 1.5 hours of romantic reality TV bliss.
Everyone was excited...
Wine was poured...
But suddenly, something horrible happened.
Wait - I thought #TheBachelor was on tonight, but instead they're doing caucus night chit chat...
Women who were trying to watch the show were instead forced to watch updates on the caucus.
WHY IS THERE A REPORT ABOUT THW IOWA CAUCUS ON DURING #THEBACHELOR AIRTIME?! #HELPME
Umm...we didn't ask for this!
Umm...I don't want to watch an update on the caucus. I want to see #TheBachelor!!
Who cares about Iowa?
I don't give a #caucus!!! Where's #TheBachelor!!??
This poor girl will never know.
WHAT??! I wanna hear about Olivia's bad breath! Don't make me wait caucus. #BachelorNation #TheBachelor
Needless to say, fans were pissed.
Way to piss off all of #thebachelor fans with the caucus update!!!
Nights across America were ruined.
And women were just furious.
When The Bachelor gets interrupted by the caucus aaaand then it's "to be continued"?!? #TheBachelor
Contestant Olivia has a few choice words for you politicians.
the people have spoken!! We want #thebachelor!! No more caucus!!! @BachelorOlivia
This sucks.
@BachelorABC except it's not on.... #Iowa @Stephy_Cox @kayladee04
Though, some people were a little more zen about the whole thing.
I guess the caucus results interrupting my #BachelorLive watching is God's way of telling me go to bed. #TheBachelor
And some people who didn't have to deal with the Iowa nonsense took a second to brag.
When I get an uninterrupted feed and everyone else gets Caucus updates #TheBachelor #SorryNotSorry
