From the start, Brown revealed she was quirky and unique. She claimed she’d be unapologetically real throughout the season, and she came through with moments of laughter, dorkiness, real reactions and tough, yet necessary lessons communicated to her suitors who disrespected her. Brown quickly revealed she had a backbone and wasn’t afraid to stand her ground. Still, she did so with kindness, which seems to be the main talking point among Bachelorette viewers.
Monday morning, Twitter was flooded with excited finale viewers, who were already planning their Monday evening around the finale rose. A handful of viewers reflected on Brown’s time in the leading position and noted their opinion of her did change as the season went on.
Some spoke about Brown’s first impression on Underwood’s season, which wasn’t all that flattering, according to Twitter users. Some noted the former pageant girl seemed superficial, or even insecure, though that quickly changed when she took over the leading role.
Others expressed hatred for the Bachelorette, but appreciated her stand on a woman’s right to her body. This season, Brown was targeted multiple times by the opinion of one man, Luke P, who asked Brown to save her naked body, and sexual encounters, for her husband. Brown quickly stood up for herself, on two, defined occasions, and explained her choices were none of Luke P’s business, as he wasn’t her husband, or even her boyfriend.
Twitter applauded Brown on each of the occasions when the show aired her conversations with Luke P. Many claimed Brown made statements that support all women.
Other users commented on Brown’s kindness throughout her season. The Twitter community majority, seemingly, saw Brown as genuine throughout her time on the show. As with any reality television star, or person in the public eye, Brown has been subject to heavy criticism, too. Much of the criticism came from Christian viewers, who stated they didn’t feel she was representing the church correctly.
Brown responded to Christian critics directly on her Instagram, in which a lengthy post explained she “refuse[d] not to stand in the sun.”
