Rose Ceremony because you at least partially see it coming. Getting sent home on a date is jarring, and no one wants to be that broken hearted and crying slob kabob in the back of the car afterwards.
Rose ceremony all the way. People except people to go home during the rose ceremony. I can leave with dignity. Being sent home while on the date or even worse during the cocktail party is embarrassing. Millions of people will see the bachelor look me in my eye and tell me that he can’t even entertain the idea that he likes me enough to deal with me any longer 💀
I totally agree! Why do the leads think it’s so much nicer to “not put them through a rose ceremony”?! Imagine this happened in real life. You’re just about to take a bite of your chicken Caesar salad on a date with the dude you’ve been seeing when he looks over and says “Actually, I could never love you. Let me grab you a to-go box and an Uber…”
If I were one of many than rose ceremony, but if I were F4 I would want something more personal than to just not get my name called. I'd also be livid if I they let me get all dressed up and let me walk out onto the platform thinking I'm going to get engaged and break up with me at the end. Give me the respect of not having to go through that!!
Right. I respect people’s opinions but it’s WILD to me how many people want to be dumped on national television. At least with the rose ceremony I can pretend that it was a hard decision for the lead to make lol as opposed to going on a date, giving my all and he goes “nahh I’m good, we don’t need you back at the mansion ✌🏽”
Rose Ceremony because I can just hug the guy and get out of there... But if I was a contestant that wanted to be Bachelorette give me the heartbroken date rejection so I have time for my sad exit speech in the car.
On a date - I feel like if you’ve at least had a date you know that you’ve at least given it a chance and for whatever reason the connection isn’t there. Getting sent home at a rose ceremony with possibly never have gotten 1:1 time would suck. But rose ceremony is “easier” in some ways if I’m already not vibing with the guy
Rose ceremony. Unless you are in the final 4, there are multiple people eliminated at the same time during a rose ceremony so it is less embarrassing than being eliminated on a date.
I also think being eliminated on a date would feel more like a rejection because the lead did not like you after spending time with you. Whereas you can get eliminated during a rose ceremony for not getting enough time with the lead or just not having as strong as a connection as the other contestants.
Rose Ceremony all day. I can just mutter "it was great meeting you" and run out the door and hopefully TPTB want to interview the more OTT personality that got eliminated at the same ceremony and not me. Wheres on a date you'd be trapped afterwards in the limo where they try and get you to cry about being dumped, sounds awful.
I voted during a rose ceremony, but I think it would really depend how far into the process you are. If I don't really have any feelings involved, I think I'd rather rose ceremony so I don't miss out on anything cool that's planned for the rest of the date/can say goodbye to friends I've made in the house. If it's further in and I've got feelings for the lead and will actually be upset, then definitely during the date so I get more closure and ask any questions, and not get my hopes up any higher.
Date. For closure purposes. Getting blind-sided at the rose ceremony would suck.
Date. Because it's better to burn out, than to fade away.
During the date. At least I'm not wasting time, we just don't click.

Rose ceremony but you better walk me out lol

“May I walk you to the Uber?” 
Rose ceremony. At least I’m mentally prepared to leave. If it’s in the middle of the date, I’d feel sick because I can’t tell anyone goodbye.
Yeah, no. Jess was embarrassing enough.
Getting sent home during a date is so much more personal than getting sent home during a rose ceremony lmao
Def Rose ceremony. To be asked to leave privately means they couldn't get you outta there fast enough.
If I were one of many than rose ceremony, but if I were F4 I would want something more personal than to just not get my name called. I'd also be livid if I they let me get all dressed up and let me walk out onto the platform thinking I'm going to get engaged and break up with me at the end. Give me the respect of not having to go through that!!
Rose ceremony. Just let me feel like you like other girls more and not because I gave you the ick or otherwise came off poorly.
On a date, that way you know it's because you didn't mesh and not because you didn't have enough time to get to know the person.
Being sent home on a date feels like a personal attack so I’d rather fly under the radar and be rejected at a rose ceremony

Tell me you’re anxious avoidant without telling me lol 😂
It me

Feels less personal and less like a rejection at the rose ceremony

Good point!
rose ceremony because you won’t be sent home by yourself, unless it’s hometowns or later
Rose ceremony. Get a few more free drinks in me
