Reality Roundup: March 22

"The Bachelor" Season 28 Episode 10

Welcome to week nine: “The Women Tell All.”

This episode is an absolute hot mess, which I guess is what the producers wanted.

The first half of the episode is literally a screaming match between Maria, Sydney, Madina, Jess and Jenn.

Honestly, this part of the episode was infuriating and was so upsetting to watch. The arguments were at a stalemate the whole time and were pointless.

Maria is a fan favorite, but after her actions during this episode, there has to be questioning from the audience if she should remain the favorite.

There literally is a part of the argument where Jess is talking about how Maria always interrupts her and then Maria interrupts her! Literal belly laughter at that part, it was unreal.

The funniest part of the episode would absolutely be when Lauren admitted that she was the one who told Sydney to “**** off.”

Finally, in the second half of the episode, we find out Rachel did not receive a rose after the overnight dates. This could not have surprised audiences, it was literally so obvious.

Then Rachel and Joey come out on to stage and discuss the things that have transpired. Honestly, this is the healthiest relationship that anyone has ever seen. It’s almost upsetting how perfect they look together.

Rachel speaks up about the hate she has gotten on social media and stands up for herself and the other women contestants. It really was such a powerful moment for Rachel and for women everywhere.

This episode was an absolute dumpster fire. However, it was beneficial to understand more about the Maria & Sydney argument and get an understanding about the hate the girls are receiving.
