'The Bachelorette' Season 20: Host Jesse Palmer's major shade at 'insufferable' Brayden Bowers leaves fans in splits

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bachelor Nation was stunned after 'The Bachelorette' contestant, Brayden Bowers, was publicly ridiculed by the show's host, Jesse Palmer. Brayden is a travel nurse from San Diego, California, who received the 'First Impression' rose.

Jesse addressed all the men before bachelorette Charity Lawson's first one-on-one date on the Monday, July 3 episode. The host began discussing the First Impression Rose with Brayden. After a difficult start to the episode, Brayden said Charity made him "sweat" for the rose the night before. It doesn't take long after that for Jesse to call out the contestant's wardrobe.

'Brayden, what's up with the outfit today?'

Brayden was dressed in a white t-shirt, a plethora of silver jewelry, and an eye-catching scarf. Jesse abruptly turned the conversation to comment on his clothes, saying, "Can I just ask you real quick, Brayden, what's up with the outfit today? What are we going for?"

All the men laughed out loud, including Brayden. "Dude, I just try to mix it up, man," he said. He added, "Like, I woke up this morning. I was feelin' the scarf, and it looks like a tablecloth or whatever."
