5 crazy moments from 'The Bachelor: Women Tell All'

The women of this season of the 'Bachelor' return for "The Bachelor: Women Tell All," on Monday, March 2, 2015.

The claws came out Monday night for the wild, emotional 'Bachelor: Women Tell All' special, the last episode before next week's 'Bachelor' finale, when Prince Farming, Chris Soules, will hand out his final rose – and possibly a proposal.

But first, we watched 17 women reunite to rehash the crazy, sometimes-painful journey of love that was Season 19. And, yes, tears flowed freely.

Here are the most cringe-inducing, eye-rolling, weepiest, emotional – and fun – moments of the show:

Carly vs. Britt

There were highs and lows during Chris' unforgettable season on "The Bachelor: The Women Tell All," Monday, March 2.

Britt (crying) to Carly: "Why did you pretend to be my friend?"

Carly to Britt: "I don't understand why we're focused on my friendship with you.…I wish you no ill will. I had a problem with you saying one thing and then another."

Jade to Britt: "There were a couple instances where I questioned her authenticity with Chris."

Britt to everyone: "I'm not duplicitous. I honestly thought we all had friendships.…I thought everyone was my friend until I was walking out the door."

Kelsey vs. Everyone

Kelsey tears up on "The Bachelor: Women Tell All," on Monday, March 2.

After recap clips played, Kelsey (crying) said: "I'm feeling betrayed. I'm feeling like I'm grieving all over again."

She asked for a tissue and Harrison gave her his pocket handkerchief. "Are you sure?" she asked. "It's silk."

In explaining herself on the show, she said, "I'm just like everyone else. I want to be accepted and liked."

She called her confrontation with Ashley I. on their two-on-one date "raw anger," and said to her directly, "If I hurt you. I'm sorry."

Juelia to Kelsey: "I've literally never met someone so fake in my entire life."

Megan to Kelsey: "If you're still grieving, I don't know why you put yourself on the show."

Kelsey to all of them: "The only thing I would like to ask of all of you is your forgiveness."

Crazy Ashley S. isn't so crazy

Ashley S. talks about growing onions on "The Bachelor: Women Tell All," on Monday, March 2.

So Ashley S., who seemed totally loony tunes during the season, showed up and everyone loved her!

She gave Chris Harrison an onion. "I was inspired by the show, so I started growing onions," she said. "I really have. Seriously."

She explained her now-famous "Mesa Verde" quote while on the zombie date, saying she went to the Four Corners area with her family as a kid and went through Mesa Verde National Park with ancient ruins. The landscape reminded her of that trip. That's not so crazy.

And she gave the best explanation ever for her behavior: "I was so bored – honestly." Completely not crazy.

So, who is the real Ashley S.? "With the cameras around, it's really hard for me not to be silly. While all of them (the women) were getting excited and crying, I was outside picking up pomegranates." Definitely not crazy.

Harrison invited her to be on Bachelor in Paradise. The crowded chanted: "Do it!"

Jade vs. Chris

Jade and Chris have a heart-to-heart on "The Bachelor: Women Tell All," on Monday, March 2.

Jade (crying) wanted to know if her Playboy photos were the reason Chris sent her home.

Chris, whose face kept twitching throughout this episode, answered: "I didn't make that decision because of what you showed me…I'm sorry."

Kaitlyn's Heartbreak

Kaitlyn and Chris speak on "The Bachelor: Women Tell All," on Monday, March 2.

"I had no reason to think I'd be gone," said (crying) Kaitlyn, who was sent packing in a shocker elimination last week. And she's still shocked, as we all are.

"I felt really good going into that" final date, she said. "Honest to god, I think about this every day. … Why couldn't even have given me some tiny little sign that maybe I wasn't the one? … I'm still so confused."

When she confronted his Chris, his explanation was: "There's really no true explanation. At that point, I was literally falling in love with three women. … You're kind of throwing darts at a dartboard in the dark."

His ultimate answer: "I apologize. … In that moment, I did the best I could and that's all I know."

Other random things we learned

Chris Soules's laugh sounds just like a porpoise.

Chris Harrison has written a romance novel, "The Perfect Letter."
