WHY TF DOES COLTON JUMP OVER THE FENCE?
It's the question that's plagued The Bachelor viewers since we caught a glimpse of the scene in a season trailer. And eight episodes in—with only a handful more to go—he. still. hasn't. jumped. We finally know when he does (in next Monday's fantasy suites episode), but we don't know why—though not for everyone in America's lack of trying.
On a recent episode of former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe's podcast, Off The Vine, Kaitlyn pressed Colton for any tea he'd spill. She couldn't get him to say exactly why he jumped (ugh), but she had another—possibly an even better—question for Colton.
WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE?
"People are so focused on how good that jump was...but what happened on the other side?" Kaitlyn asked. "Did you fall? Did you hurt yourself? Did you run? What were you doing on the other side of that fence?!"
Sweet, precious, innocent Colton's answer: "I thought for sure I was going to fall into the snack tent." Alas, he didn't. There was nothing. "I thought I was gonna jump that fence and there was gonna be production vans and people and like a tent with food. You know how they have coffee and snacks?"
According to Colton, though, it was just darkness. "I loved it—secretly. I was like, freedom! Freedom!" Colton laughed.
So while we've got several more days until we can figure out why Colton jumped the fence, we can placate ourselves with the fact that we know what was on the other side: not snacks.
