She just wonders if they had a full day together, could she have been among the frontrunners.

Still, other Deaf and hard of hearing individuals have reached out to her and posted on social media about how inspiring she is. Abigail says she is happy with where she is in her life right now, and that's the important thing.
Pieper in the Hot Seat

Chris Harrison told Serena, if I'm being honest, "I thought you might have been the one." She said she felt the same at one point. She thought that seeing her family would reaffirm her feelings would push her over the edge of love and it just didn't happen. A conversation with her mom brought her clarity because she had the feeling in her gut that it wasn't the right relationship for her, and she was afraid to admit it. "I care about him still so much, and the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt him. Losing him was one thing, but knowing I could be hurting him in the process was just the cherry on the top of me feeling hurt and guilty," Serena said. "I would have been doing him a disservice by staying."
Matt James in the Hot Seat
Matt James came out on stage with a very full beard. It was glistening in the lights. He addressed a bit of the drama and mean girl behavior.

Matt told Katie that she set the stage for him to open up with all of the other women with her vibrator entrance. Matt said that he didn't realize that you are supposed to kiss with your eyes closed, and after watching the show back, he realizes it's a bit strange. Matt told Pieper that his relationships moved further along with the other women despite the fact that they had a nice time together.
