There have been some seriously awkward kisses in reality TV history.
But it’s those terribly,terriblyawkward kisses that really stand out.
Listen, we’ve all had an awkward kiss at one point in our lives.
Two strangers meet in an echoey, stark white room and kiss each other at first sight.
It’s… as uncomfortable to watch as it sounds.
But it also makes for hilarious TV.
To be totally fair, the kiss itself didn’t look so bad.
What makes this encounter soeek, however, is what Shad says after the kiss.
In the interview after the kiss, Shad kicks himself for saying something so corny.
But, alas, the damage had already been done.
It kind of reminds you of theseactors who enjoyed kissing their co-stars too much.
In a word: it wassloppy.
We’re talking strings of spicy saliva sloppy.
It looked equal parts disgusting and painful.
But they did it!
Perhaps the couple enjoyed it more than their faces of pure pain let viewers believe?
After all, the two went on the get married down the line.
And they’re actually a lasting couple fromThe Bachelorfranchise.
Who would have thought?
Of course, she said yes.
But what Josh did next wasn’t exactly what anyone was expecting.
He… kissed her hair?
And then even more awkwardly walked away in silence.
A kiss that’s so snotty it’s downright gross.
you could thank Shannon from Jason’s season ofThe Bachelorfor giving us all the snotty kiss weneverasked to see.
She just really wanted him to see it!
Distraught, Shannon decided that a snotty kiss would and could make it all better.
So in between sobs and sniffles, Shannon planted one on Jason’s mouth.
Maybe she finally saw asign that he’s not “the one.”
His kiss with Annalisa was probably one of his better attempts, but it wasn’tgreat.
Annalisa gave John two shots, too.
So Annalisa assured John not to worry, and asked him if he was down for a second try.
It was… endearing.
Josh opened up about the experience in an interview withVice.
“People have never seen someone go 27 years without a first kiss,” he explained.
“They don’t think that’s real but that was me!”
Listen, we’re all about consent.
It’s seriously important.
But Michelle’s delivery was just… poor.
Michelle even knew it was off.
The answer was yes, Michelle.
And it was written all over Jake’s face.
But, alas, the two went through with the kiss nonetheless.
And it was anticlimactic to say the very least.
Michelle even told Jake that he really ought to put forth more effort.
But frankly, it really didn’t look like he wanted to give itanything.
He had his first real kiss with Roxanne onLove at First Kiss.
Like, over the moon.
Andwhat does it mean if you kiss on the first date?
Now imagine getting that kissing lesson as a grown adult on national television.
Not surprisingly, it wasn’t one ofthe best first kisses in TV history.
Don’t get us wrong.
We’re all about communicating your wants and desires to your partner.
But there’s certainly a way to go about giving a kissing lesson that isn’t so… clinical?
No wonder Ben just couldn’t deal with Jamie in that moment!
The long-anticipated smooch occurred on Ryan and Shanna’s wedding day.
On theirblog, the couple explained why they decided to hold off for so long.
And the kiss itself didn’tlooktoo bad.
In fact, it looked like a solid, passionate kiss.
Amanda Panda even declared that their shared smooch was literally exactly how she kisses and likes to be kissed.
It’s just that, for the rest of us, the kiss was… so,soaudible.
It probably doesn’t help that they were in a very empty room that echoes quite loudly.
But no one else on the show shared a kiss that was that loud while in the same surroundings.
Watching (and hearing) that kiss was incredibly awkward, to be quite honest.
She actually walked Cannon and a lucky audience member through a passionate kiss… in front of everyone.
The kiss itself seemed like it went pretty well, largely thanks to Kennedy and her sagely advice.
Then he asked if he could kiss her on the lips, and she reluctantly nodded her head.
Big Ed proceeded to plop a quick smooch on Rose, and she responded by giggling awkwardly.
Not surprisingly,Big Ed and Rosemarie from90 Day Fiancebroke up.
They wereconstantlykissing each other in all corners of the beach house.
For some reason unbeknownst to viewers everywhere, they were always moaning while kissing.
For example, one of those challenges was anincrediblyawkward kissing contest.
In the challenge, contestants stood blindfolded while others came up one-by-one to give them a smooch.
However, some of the contestants were in relationships, and some were each other’s exes.
Some of the kisses went on for a long time, while others were painfully short.
Some of the smooches were “grandma kisses.”
And some were even smelly, and it doesn’t get any more awkward than that!
