If you’ve been following this season of The Bachelorette closely, and by "closely" I mean while on the elliptical at the gym or turning it off halfway through every episode due to violent boredom, you’ll know that there is just one contestant left. He’s lily white, was at one point a professional athlete, and his use of hairspray is personally responsible for climate change.

In reality, this one remaining contestant is actually two contestants who have the same body, wear the same clothes, and whose only differentiating aspects are the sport their parents decided they should be good at.

Nowhere was this more apparent than at the second (!) rose ceremony of the episode, when two identically pompadoured men wearing the exact same outfit were up for elimination:

Chase’s return to the show was short-lived, however, when he explained that he merely wanted to apologize for deviating from his sole facial expression when JoJo dumped him. He then returned to his one face, and left:
