While Trice mentioned how she “dodged a bullet” and said that when "trying to force a shoe that doesn’t fit, you’re going to get corns on your toes," Viall expressed his shock over the announcement. "I think what shocked me the most is this wasn't just a normal breakup or an end of an engagement, this was a divorce announcement. I was caught off guard, and surprised by the abruptness,” he said.
