There was some speculation going into Monday night’s “Bachelor” finale that Juan Pablo Galavis was the most hated bachelor of all time. Let that speculation now be put to rest. He is. KC's own Nikki Ferrell had to settle only for the final rose - no marriage proposal or declaration of love. And that’s all she really wanted, she said.
