This week on The Bachelorette, the eliminated men and Desiree Hartsock aired their dirty laundry in the "Men Tell All" episode.

Knowing that she would have to see three of the bad boy contestants, Desiree sought out the advice of past Bachelorettes. Collectively their advice was that she shouldn't feel bad about booting them from the show and they should have the guts to apologize for their various transgressions

For an hour and a half, host Chris Hardwick spoke to the eliminated men in front of an audience. Most of the attention was focused on the negative aspects of the competitors, particularly when it came to James, Ben, and Brian.

While Brian failed to show for the episode, the other men called him a coward. Although James and Ben did make an appearance they were booed by the audience and treated to a session in the hot seat.

James' elimination created the most consternation among the men. While the 27-year-old contended his comment on wanting to be the next bachelor was taken out of context, Mikey also claimed his words were also misconstrued. When it came down to it though, James apologized. Ben was chastised for his comments following his elimination and his demeanor towards the other men in the house.

Two men received the audiences' sympathies, however. Juan Palo was well liked by all and, since he had only a little screen time, Hardwick brought him onstage to learn a little bit about him. Zak W, the most recent competitor to be eliminated, had a chance to ask Desiree why he wasn't the one for her. According to Des, he hides behind his smile and she did not think that he would want to some home from a bad day and discuss it with her.

Starting next week The Bachelorette will begin its two-part finale.
