1. When The Guys Sang A Song With JoJo's Name In It

Were there any other lyrics than these? I wasn't impressed.

2. When Chad Gave Terrible Dating Advice

I think you have it really, really wrong here, buddy.

3. When Chad Called The Other Guys Weak

Being sensitive, having feelings, and doing yoga does not make a man weak. Unfortunately, these comments were just the start of Chad's chauvinism.

4. When They Had An Angergasm

This entire date was cringe-worthy if you ask me.

5. When Jordan Name Dropped His Brother

Keep your famous family to yourself, Jordan.

6. When Chad Questioned JoJo's Decision To Keep Evan

The thing that I love (and hate) about Chad is that he says the things to JoJo that he really should save for his interview packages.

7. When Evan Couldn't Wait To Tell His Kids About Making Out With JoJo

Ew ew ew EW ew ew.

8. When Jordan Did His Touchdown Dance

Some cringe-worthy moments required no words. Also, shouldn't he be better at this?

9. When Chad Called JoJo Naggy

That justifies a knee to the balls in my world. How JoJo kept him around after that comment is beyond me.

10. When Jonathan Took His Limo Entrance Too Far

TMI, dude in the kilt. TMI.

11. When JoJo Got A Little Too Excited About Her Harem

This probably came off as pretty innocent to most people watching, but with most contestants on this show focusing their rhetoric on finding love, JoJo getting all boy crazy in the first episode was definitely uncomfortable.

Admit it: cringe-worthy for a show like this is totally synonymous with amazing. Keep the awkward coming, boys.
