Becca Kufrin is the next Bachelorette, ABC announced during the “After the Final Rose” special Tuesday night.

Kufrin, as we all know by now, was actually the winner of the just-wrapped 22nd season of “The Bachelor” — until she was infamously dumped by Bachelor Arie Luyendyk, who decided he’d rather be with rejected contestant Lauren Burnham. His gut-wrenching breakup with Becca was aired during the finale Monday night, putting Arie in the Hall of Terrible Bachelors forever. Now she’ll get her comeuppance on the upcoming 14th season of “The Bachelorette.”

But that wasn’t the night’s only highlight.

In a most awk turn of events, the Arie-Becca-Lauren love triangle were all present for the “After the Final Rose” episode of Season 22. So what happened next? Arie and Lauren got engaged in front of the studio audience… and Becca. Ouch.

“I’ve made some bad decisions, but the best decision was running back to you. I’m ready to face this life with you and all that comes with it, the good and the bad,” Arie said to Lauren, again to be clear, right in front of Becca (ouch). “I love you so much, and I want to do this in front of everyone because I want to show you that I should’ve done this a long time ago.”

Some fan favorite contestants were also there to discuss Arie’s change of mind, including Bekah Martinez, Kendall Long, Seinne Fleming and Tia Booth.

'The Bachelorette' Premiere: 6 Most Painful Moments From Season 13 Opener (Photos)

Rachel Lindsay began her second chance at reality TV-endorsed love during Monday's Season 13 premiere of "The Bachelorette." But if the Dallas-based attorney thought she wouldn't have to experience any awkward encounters (or hear the word "Whaboom" shouted about a billion times), she was way off. Here are six cringeworthy moments from the episode.
ABC
Blake's Manhood
Blake E. provided viewers with a mental image that presumably none of them wanted, as he explained during his introductory video: "Many women have told me about the amazingness of my penis."
ABC
Milton Keeps Growling
A little growling goes a long way. Rachel may have gotten a kick out of Milton's sexy utterance as he snapped a selfie during his introduction, but she clearly was no longer amused when he kept purring throughout the night.
ABC
Adam and Adam Jr.
It's probably not the best idea to bring a hand-drawn, puppet version of yourself -- as Adam quickly learned after introducing Rachel to "Adam Jr." The human Adam told the Bachelorette that his supposed doppelgänger was "super excited."
ABC
Josiah Grabs the Rose
No one can say Josiah was lacking in confidence. After being the first man to pull Rachel aside for a chat, he brazenly snagged the first-impression rose and attached it to his lapel, only to later learn that Bryan was its actual recipient.
ABC
Mohit Gets Tipsy
It wouldn't be a season premiere without someone having a few too many. This time around, the contestant who hit the booze a bit too hard was Mohit, who stumbled on his way to Rachel and then stole Josiah's drink from him.
ABC
Blake Calls Out Lucas
Any number of Lucas' bizarre antics (pictured above) could make this list, from him falling off the couch while screaming "Whaboom," to using a bullhorn to narrate Peter's one-on-one. This prompted Blake to confront Lucas, who defended his behavior with a rather Zen-like retort: "I feel that everyone has a little bit of Whaboom in them."
