VIDEO: Tierra's Meltdown Earns Her a Rose on THE BACHELOR

On last night's episode of ABC's THE BACHELOR, Tierra was reduced to tears due to the pressure and frustration of being on the show. While her fellow bachelorette's were certain her sudden breakdown would cause her to quit the competition, it was surprisingly endearing to Sean. So much so in fact, that he presented her with a rose on the spot! Check out the clip below!

On his weekly People.com blog, Lowe explained:

I don't know what it was about Tierra, but I definitely felt a connection with her that goes back to the first night and I didn't like seeing her upset. Once again, I did my best to reassure her of my feelings. I'll admit my decision to give her the rose was a symbolic Band-Aid.

I wanted Tierra to be happy and I wanted to fix whatever was wrong with her. Isn't that what boyfriends are supposed to do? It was obviously a rash decision that was not received well by the other women. But please keep in mind I had not seen the Tierra they had."
