Harrison adds: “I know people are mad, and they’re right to be mad because Jason or Blake or whoever are great people. They are and they do deserve love, and so I’m glad that people are upset. They just have to remember why they’re upset and that Colton’s a good guy, too. He’s gonna be a great Bachelor.”
