Matt Sends Heather Martin Home on The Bachelor

Heather Martin made a dramatic surprise entrance into the competition last week on The Bachelor, but it was to no avail, as Matt sent her back this week. Turns out he feels he's too far along the path of love with the rest of the women in the competition to let her in now. As we learn in this clip, he thinks that "in an alternate reality" where she was a part of the game from the beginning, things might have been different.

The rest of the contestants were as happy to see her go as they were angry that she showed up. Heather seemed to take it hard, saying she didn't fly all the way out there and rent a minivan just to be bounced right back out the door, insisting that she wasn't doing this as a stunt. 

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8:00 PM ET on ABC.
