Why Bachelor In Paradise's Brendan And Pieper Have The Internet Seeing Red

Bachelor nation took to social media to hit Brendan and Pieper where it apparently would hurt: their Instagram numbers. According to an Instagram page that tracks "Bachelor"-related stats, after the show aired, Brendan lost more than 37,000 followers, Pieper lost more than 4,500, and Natasha gained more than 100,000. To that update, one commenter wrote, "The content I didn't know I needed — watching karma play out is really satisfying." 

Another said, "Natasha more than doubled her total follower count and she is still rising. We love to see it." Others called for Natasha to be featured as the next Bachelorette.

For her part, Pieper seemed to add fuel to the fire on the day of the damning episode with a photo on Instagram captioned, "All's fair in love and war" with a winky face. 

People weren't happy. One wrote, "You're actually proud of what you did?" 

Another let loose with, "Why the actual f*** are you wasting everyone's time? Both of y'all should've stayed home."

Brendan also mentioned the drama without really mentioning it on Instagram with the caption, "Here for the wrong reasons." 

Commenters didn't hold back there, either. One wrote, "Wow, so shady. Natasha deserves so much better!" 

Another simply said, "What a tool."
