No, it's to playing games acting like you're about to leave. Then disrespectfully stopping a rose ceremony to say oops I'm falling in love you. Maria doesn't love Joey.

[@mojos7]

Finally someone understands that this is a highly produced tv show 🙌

[@ibike825]

Maria completely ruined it last episode by threatening to leave! Their interaction at hometowns was not same as on their 1-2-1 where they had this playfulness and passion and I could feel Joey was different with her in hometowns, he didn’t look at her the same way and did not surprise me one bit that she was sent home.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

Imagine getting to ends of the dichotomy; Daisy wanting to be patient but still present and open to more and then Maria threatening to leave....

Sorry, but I'm so glad Maria's finally gone. Can't stand her. Surprised she lasted as long as she did.

Yeah it was really awkward between them before he got on his car.

You are right on! Anyway glad Maria's gone finally.

[@Vanessa___kelman]

Joey didn’t want Maria so he used her slightest bit of uncertainty as an excuse ,notice that daisy wasn’t 100 percent either but he still kept her and was willing to wait it out (when a guy wants u they won’t get rid of u that easily plus joeys insecure he’s gonna choose the one that’s obsessed with him cuz he doesn’t want anyone to leave him that’s the only thing he talked about this whole season )

Love Kelsey and Rachel, especially their families. The hate Rachel is getting is RIDICULOUS. It's upsetting, yet not surprising at all.

[@funshine817]

Why not surprising? Oh yeah, the racist card. 😔😩 Rachel was FRIENDS with Sydney and Lea. She is a mean girl. Got it? You are just delusional, and love to stir the racist pot. Despicable!

[@jenniferhansen3622]

Where is she getting hate? I don't follow any of these people on social media so I'm just curious where you're seeing this. Also, why would anyone dislike her enough to treat her that way? I can't think of anything she's done wrong? I feel like I'm missing something.

Totally not surprising. Worst fanbase on the planet.

What even is causing it? Rachel has literally not done a thing wrong all season.

[@gulluyogini]

Why is she getting hate?

[@Buzz0Killington]

I’m assuming this is because she was annoyed Maria pulled Joey at the rose ceremony? I mean, Rachel annoyed me slightly in that moment but I totally got why she was annoyed. All the sneaking and pulling both Maria AND Joey do with one another would get to me too. Especially if I felt a bit insecure about my connection, which I think Rachel does.

[@NotInMYName_AntiZionistJew]

Rachel? She’s been a total class act, similar to Ariel from Zack’s season. Very strange people, who would have any issue with her.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

These families are great, and seem genuine and they dont seem to be sabotage their children like past seasons.

[@petrah2771]

Daisy was way more hesitant than Maria. Maria was acting like a normal person trying to function in a dysfunctional dating situation. Acting all unbothered when you’re falling for someone is not genuine or normal. I think she truly developed strong feelings for him in spite of all the crap she had to buy into to play the “villain”.

[@benmac2112]

It would be an interesting roller coaster ride if Maria becomes the bachelorette. It will be quite an entertainment and she will keep all the men on their toes because she is an enigma.

[@brightshining]

... but also so forthright and she doesn't put up with bullshit So might be bomb ass and also feel better for the men too though :)

[@abandonablesnowman]

I wouldn’t be mad about it. I do think she’d choose someone toxic though 😂

[@Jayemoody38]

I definitely would NOT watch if she were! I liked her in the begining, but after seeing how immature and insecure she was. And the constant threat of wanting to leave turned me off. I also was concerned by her dads' comment of "it would be bad for Joey if he broke her heart." Hmmm

[@amy6610]

not to be a hater but I can’t stand Daisy. I can’t quite explain why. it just seems like she & Joey have no chemistry and her monotone, bored voice makes me feel like she’s going through the motions. when she made the speech about Joey in front of her friends, it was all about her and made it seem like she was expecting not to end up with Joey but was grateful for the experience because of how it helped her personally. idk. i just don’t get a genuine vibe from her.

[@OohLaLaurie]

I like her, but if I hear her talk about that implant one more time… imagine an entire Bachelorette season of that. 😅

[@jellyfish939]

Do you think her monotone could be as a result of her difficulty with hearing? Maybe she’s not getting the auditory feedback to regulate her voice as much as a person with fully functional hearing (even with the implant)… just a thought

[@AndSoWeLaughed]

@@jellyfish939thanks. Not a fan of her either and totally agree with not infantilising people with disabilities and giving the same standards as everyone else. But for everyone commenting on her voice is wild considering she has a hearing disability / is deaf. People don’t seem to realise that how your voice sounds and you being able to control that is harder when you cannot hear!

I think Maria is likeable, but not on the same wavelength as Joey. Maybe that’s just because the women and editing really involved her in a lot outside of their relationship.

What was your take on Joey’s reaction to Daisy saying that she was falling in love with him? He didn’t really react much and gulped really big.

[@PrettyNubianPrincess]

I agree. He didn’t smile like how he did with Rachel & Kelsey saying it. 😅

[@abandonablesnowman]

I thought he had the biggest reaction to her? Like he was waiting for it and couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He’s definitely into her

[@vanillaghetto]

@@abandonablesnowman This...and he responded with "I feel the same way". Which he didn't say to the other girls, when they professed their "love" feelings.

[@abandonablesnowman]

@@vanillaghettoExactly! Everyone’s ignoring that because they don’t like Daisy, but a response like that is huge. He gave Rachel the “thanks for sharing”

[@PrettyNubianPrincess]

@@abandonablesnowmanlol I don’t hate Daisy. It’s not that deep for me but he did say that he’s been waiting for weeks to hear Rachel saying that’s she’s in love with him after she said it. Although it’s also clear his connection with Kelsey is much stronger too than with Daisy.

Omg a Tim and Eric reference 😅 Awesome show great job!

[@YankeesFan0620]

It's weird and borderline idiotic that Maria's family is GREEK and yet production is playing music like he is in the mob (ITALIAN). Also, now I'm craving stuffed peppers!!!!!! (it's popular in other European cultures)

TEAM MARIA

YALL IM HERE AGAIN TO WATCH AS SOON AS ITS UPLOADED

[@tinkerbell686]

[@halfassfashion]

I keep getting bored in the middle and going to bed early instead

[@annaisntcool]

[@sleepingwhale]

Did anyone else notice Maria dumped most of her whiskey overboard and joey drink all of his then he was a little tipsy and did a cartwheel 🤣

Love Kelsey, they seems like a good fit. BTW- City Park is a popular spot for wedding photos, I would be surprised not to see some type of photo shoot while there.

[@valeriag9443]

Rachel’s family and parents are me to Joey. 🤪🤪😍🥰🥰

[@carlychamberlain4237]

Daisy was literally talking in the past tense about the relationship - really feels like trying to set her up as Bachelorette....

[@benmac2112]

No.... horrible idea... no offense, she is boring.

[@Jessica-yd3ld]

she is so BORING AS HELL

[@abandonablesnowman]

@@benmac2112 I think people are being kinda harsh. She’s no more boring than anyone else on this stupid show (besides Maria)

[@sassynchicago]

lol- BOBBY D.. spiking at 1 yard line!

[@saltandpepperandmint]

Rachel in her lazy ponytail and no makeup at the rose ceremony is sending me

[@taurus1647]

Maria ❤ was why i was watching!

[@GS-ut5jp]

Same!

[@KuniKarin01]

Maria totally ruined her chances by playing games with Joey and he saw through it. Her manipulation tactics did not work and for her to pull him aside right before his decision to twist him up inside and make him emotional did not not work. It probably only solidified his choice to dump her.

[@utopianslay]

I don’t think she was being manipulative. I think it’s exactly what she said, that she was scared.

[@KuniKarin01]

nah definitely manipulation especially that trick she pulled last minute before joey made his final decision.@@utopianslay

[@joanb8489]

Maria and Joey make a beautiful couple . So sad it’s over. He seems to like Kelsey the most. Can’t wait to see the ending. Kind of weird how he’s almost engaged to 3 women. Not really surprised because you know why.

[@fifabublz17]

Why are you so savage with Daisy 😅😭

[@crimbleland]

As much as I love Maria and want her as Bachelorette so bad, I feel Daisy is getting the Bachelorette edit.

[@munajama4652]

But fans aren't reacting well with her so I doubt

[@abandonablesnowman]

@@munajama4652They gave us Clayton and Zach, so they clearly don’t care about our opinion 😂

@sk-xi1me I didn’t hear one single soul speaking Zach’s name 😂 Rodney was right there

Kelsey’s dad is a great guy! Sure would make a great BACHELOR ❤️❤️❤️
