It's been a season of ups and downs for Michelle.
The teacher faced backlash after sending home Joe ahead of the finale.
MINNESOTA JOE
In the Fantasy Suite episode of The Bachelorette, Michelle and Joe — a native of Minnesota nicknamed by fans for his home state — ziplined and fed horses.
During the episode he confessed his feelings for Michelle, saying: "I don't think I've ever felt this way with somebody.
"I'm ready for marriage, I'm ready for partnership, I'm ready for building a life together."
The pair headed to dinner where he talked about his career.
Joe said he got into real estate to "set the foundation for a family" in part.
He told Michelle he wanted to be an example for his future children and others, noting tools he learned from being a lifelong athlete.
Michelle said during the episode: "I always feel connected to you, but today was on a different level."
She later said: "Joe's my slice of home. Maybe my soulmate."
After her date with Joe, however, she headed out with Nayte - the frontrunner this season.
Nayte received the first impression rose in the premiere of this season of The Bachelorette.
She gushed over their outing, but feared he may not be ready for an engagement.
He calmed those fears during their dinner date, saying he could see himself getting engaged to her in the end.
Nayte claimed: "I'm falling in love with you."
During the rose ceremony the following day, she shocked viewers when she called Nayte first, then Brandon.
Joe was left without a rose and was therefore sent packing.
She told him: "You understand a certain side of me that nobody understands. You have a piece of my heart. And I think you always will.
Michelle continued: "It's just, I can't be your person."
Joe revealed that he "really pictured the future they had talked about."
He added: "I want to thank you for pushing me to be more open, to be more vulnerable and to be the best person I could be."
He sobbed as he left the show.
Before Joe's elimination, Michelle was slammed for giving Rodney Mathews the axe.
'UNDERDOG'
Rodney was another fan favorite.
She eliminated him before he could make it to the fantasy suite, but maintained that he'd done nothing wrong.
Michelle also told Rodney that he was not an "underdog."
He admitted he was still falling in love with Michelle and wished her the best.
While the pair ended things on good terms, fans were sad to see Rodney go.
Twitter was flooded with reactions to the elimination, with many calling for him to be the next Bachelor.
One fan wrote: "Rodney would be a great Bachelor. He's funny, has a personality, and didn't start petty drama. AND he ran around a hotel butt a** NAKED! Get it together, Michelle."
Another tweeted: ";JUSTICE FOR RODNEY. AND RODNEY FOR BACHELOR. AND FOR BACHELOR IN PARADISE. AND FOR PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD."
A third Twitter user wrote: "Rodney is so sweet! He would have been a great and entertaining bachelor."
ABC already selected the next Bachelor, announcing him while he was still on the show.
CLAYTON OUT?
Bachelor Nation fans feel that Rodney would be a much better Bachelor than Clayton Echard, who is slated to fill the role.
Clayton was introduced to fans on Michelle's season, but Variety reported in September that he would lead The Bachelor in September.
Sources told the outlet producers were quickly taken with him.
He was eliminated in the sixth rose ceremony of the season, which aired in November.
During his last episode, producers revealed that Michelle's students planned the dates and Clayton had been selected for a one-on-one.
He was eliminated during the dinner portion of the date.
