NEW YORK -- Cue the creepy whistling...Chad is back for "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All" episode. Before we could get into the nitty gritty, we had to sit through a preview of "Bachelor in Paradise".

The guys started off talking about their night one impressions of how beautiful JoJo was when they first got out of the limo. They also recapped life in the house and what it was like living with Chad. Derrick got the chance to talk about how Alex lashed out at him for acting "weak" in the house. The guys talked about how maybe Alex's military background may have affected him and that's why he acts the way he does and lashes out sometimes. Luke tried to explain it a little bit since he was in the military, and Alex just sat there, so he apparently agreed? Alex and Derrick had a back and forth for a bit and Nick S. and Daniel somehow managed to get the conversation back to Chad. Wells tried to get the guys to stop talking about Chad until he could respond back and be out on stage to "defend" himself.

Chad was out next and the guys seemed to have to psych themselves up for his appearance. Their demeanor went from friendly to guarded in a snap. Chad said that the guys drove him crazy by incessantly talking about him and whispering about him in the house. Chad said that he dated Grant and Robby's ex-girlfriends since the show ended. How bizarre is that? Apparently Chad sought them out to see if the guys really did dump them to be on the show and he claims that is true. Nick S. stood up and confronted Chad to challenge him to a fight. It was kind of ridiculous. I agree with Chad on this one, it seems like Nick S. is just trying to get airtime.

"Good luck with your airtime Santa," Chad said. Nick S. responded, "Own up to this *expletive* that you created." Chad told Nick S. to calm down, they're wearing dress shoes, they'd end up falling down and looking ridiculous. He added that they would settle it later. Derek asked him why he freaked out on him for moving his protein shake. Chad called him a wuss and said that Derek's pocket square doesn't match his shirt. Then Chad and Alex talked about the two-on-one date that ultimately sent him home. All Chad had to say was that JoJo did what she felt she had to do. He added that Jordan is not sincere and would act for the cameras and that Robby has been threatening his ex-girlfriend and telling her not to do interviews. None of the other guys on stage thought that was true.

Chris Harrison then directed the conversation with Chad over to Evan. Chad said that he just wanted Evan to leave him alone. Chris Harrison pulled the tape of the shirt pulling incident. It did look like Evan pushed Chad and Chad responded very strongly by ripping Evan's shirt. Chad claims that he almost fell hard, but according to the tape he hardly moved. Evan wouldn't really admit to "poking the bear." Vinny said that he would love to stick up for Chad but it's not cool to go after people's ex-girlfriends. Chad said that he doesn't regret 99% of the things that he's said. Chris Harrison asked him what his deceased mother would have thought about his behavior and he thought his mother would have found him "hilarious."

Luke was out next to talk about his time on the show. He said that getting eliminated hit him like a train. He added that he was in love with her and he is still in love with her. He just wants her to be happy. Luke said that he wished that he said it sooner, and he said he thought he had at least another week with her. He revealed that he felt like he was having anxiety attacks for a few weeks after that. Poor guy! Luke added that he is optimistic for the future and ready to begin looking for love again. What do you think; could he be our next "Bachelor"?

Chase, fresh off his heartbreak, was there to take the hot seat next. He said that it was a perfect day and it felt like the right time to say it. He couldn't believe that she gave him the fantasy suite card and then once he said, "I love you," take it back. Chase said that he doesn't regret it after all, and he did learn to express his feelings. He feels bad he went to anger, instead of understanding. He was very emotional and said it was extremely hard to watch the episode. He just really wants to know why she would give him the card, which was the ultimate high for him, to then knock him down.

At last, JoJo came out to see the men she dumped. She said she tears up sometimes seeing some of the shows because the memories were real memories with feeling. She said she really tried not to lead anyone on. Luke asked her if he had been more direct would it have made a difference. JoJo said that she doesn't really know, but that on the last date he never said the word "love" until the rose ceremony. Her decision was already made in her head. Chase meantime, started things off by going up on stage to give her a hug and sitting next to her. He of course brought up the fantasy date card, and asked why she gave it to him. JoJo said she just didn't know and found clarity at the wrong time and she still feels guilty about it. Chase said there is no good time to do that so she shouldn't feel guilty and he thanked her for teaching him how to express himself. James Taylor just wanted to tell JoJo that she was wonderful and Chad took the opportunity to say that it was great to meet her and wished her luck. But wait, it was all backhanded! He said Robby broke up with his girlfriend just days before the show and Jordan is insincere and JoJo said that Chad was not worth her breath. She was furious! She said she was grateful that all of the guys had treated her with such respect even after the show, outside of Chad.

JoJo spoke to a few of the other guys to give them "closure". While Alex was talking, they just showed Chad smirking the whole time. Ick. JoJo was very understanding and said that everyone responds to relationships ending differently in the moment and she doesn't hold anything against anyone. She also wanted everyone to know that Derek never asked for reassurance. JoJo complimented Vinny on his new "bangless" look. Hopefully we'll see more of that on "Paradise". Vinny's mom jumped up and said that JoJo missed out on being with the greatest guy. Whoa momma! She's a protective one! It was a funny moment. She added that "he's still single, if anybody's ready!"

After the blooper reel, we got a big preview of next week's finale. JoJo said that she is "happy with how things ended and where things are at right now." JoJo seems really torn between Robby and Jordan. We'll find out who she picks next Monday night!
