SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Tuesday’s episode of The Bachelor.
Two episodes of The Bachelor in one week? It must be a Valentine’s Day miracle.
Not only that, but Tuesday’s episode is bookended by two rose ceremonies. And if you thought the drama with Maria was going to be over after Sydney left, think again.
Tuesday’s episode picks up right where Monday’s left off, with Maria having a meltdown because Lea is leading a crusade against her. While the rest of the women seem to be avoiding that situation like the plague, Madina chooses to comfort her and let her know she won’t be unkind to her just because Lea says she should. Lea is telling Joey how much she hates Maria, though it’s unclear what the goal is here since Maria already has a rose.
At the rose ceremony, Joey gives roses to Kelsey A., Katelyn, Daisy, Rachel, Jenn, Autumn, Jess, Madina and Lea. Since Maria, Lexi and Kelsey T. already have roses, that means Allison and Edwina are sent packing.
Joey and his remaining women are off to Andalusia, Spain, for the next leg of their trip. When they arrive, Joey meets the women for a glass of sangria before stealing Kelsey A. away for a one-on-one date. After she leaves, Maria asks the group whether they would have taken Lea’s one-on-one stealing card if given the opportunity, and if they would have used it in that moment so they could jet off on a Vespa with Joey. Kelsey T. admits she probably would have taken the card, but she’s not sure if she would have used it.
