Bye, bye Krystal Nielson you won’t be missed! Well, by the girls in The Bachelor villa competing for Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s heart at least. Bachelor Arie sent her home on Monday night (5-February-2018) after a one-on-two date segment.

So, what exactly is going on in The Bachelor villa, why was Krystal sent home? What is her reaction to being thrown away suddenly like this?
Arie Luyendyk Jr. Explains Why He Sent Krystal Nielson Home
After quickly becoming the most polarizing contestant in The Bachelor’s season 22, Krystal Nielson, the 29-year-old fitness coach was sent home on Monday night’s episode.
While she was sent packing, with Kendall Long receiving the date rose instead Arie talked to E! News saying that it was difficult to send her home. "It was difficult at the moment," He added:
I think now because I'm seeing the other side of things, yeah, people are like, 'Wow, why did it take you so long?' And it's only been because our relationship was actually really good. It was probably around Fort Lauderdale when things started to break down.
Arie and Krystal's relationship started to go south since the bowling date in Fort Lauderdale where Krystal had a breakdown- initially; she refused to attend the night group date after he extended the invite to the losing team, a move that made Krystal question Arie's character and calls him a liar.
Arie gave Krystal a second chance after he post-bowling behavior. He thought that she would change her behavior and that would only make their relationship stronger. Alas! Things didn't go down like that.
Ultimately, the bachelor chose Kendall Long that led to Krystal’s exit.
Kendall was a rock star that day, I got to learn so much about her. She's so articulate and poised and she really made that day fun despite the heavy impact of the two-on-one.
According to E! News, Krystal was the drama queen of the show. She was there to win the show, not to find a soulmate. And she looked at Arie as prize money, not as a potential life partner who she could share future goals with him.
