The controversial contestant, one of the last four women fighting to win James’ heart, had a rough parachute landing on a date with him. He shouts “Oof” as he falls to the ground with the instructor in a tandem parachute.
James, who had already landed safely, rushed to Kirkconnell as he lay on the ground. “Rachael literally hit the ground hard,” he said.
Kirkconnell said his back hurts and he looks bruised, but continued with the one-day meeting. She later said that James’ care impressed her. The graduate revealed that, seeing her in danger, made him realize that he felt love for her.
But many Twitter fans did not feel so sympathetic after allegations of Kirkconnell’s racist past surfaced, including photos of her attending a slavery-themed plantation party and liking photos with flags. of the Confederates on social media. (He later apologized for his “offensive and racist” actions.)
