The contestant became enraged and claimed he reached his "breaking point" after Katie wouldn't say she loved him.

She continued to cry as she said Connor is “a man you’d be lucky to be with,” adding: “I just hope that when he leaves here tonight that he knows just how worthy he is of finding love.”
