In this week’s episode of The Bachelor, hosted by our favorite lead, Peter, we saw the return of fan favorite, Demi Burnett, amidst a whirlwind of drama surrounding contestant Alayna. After last week’s infamous #champagnegate, viewers were hoping for a quieter episode, but that wasn’t in the cards.
The episode kicked off with a one-on-one date featuring Victoria G. at a lively country bar, while Alayna made her mark during a rather cringeworthy pillow fight tournament on a group date. However, the real drama unfolded in the mansion’s kitchen, where Alayna was seen a bit tipsy, boasting about how her pageant persona masks her true self, which she described as “nasty.” Unsurprisingly, this revelation didn’t sit well with many of the other women, who quickly jumped to conclusions about her authenticity—a classic twist for The Bachelor.
As the night progressed to a pool party before the rose ceremony, Peter found himself inquiring about Alayna. The feedback he received was far from flattering. Despite a previous moment of silence when he asked if anyone thought Alayna was disingenuous, the women were quick to express their opinions now. They claimed, “I think she acts different on camera,” and “You’re not seeing the real her.” Ouch.
The kicker came from Victoria G., who, having missed the earlier kitchen drama, took it upon herself to share some behind-the-scenes tea with Peter. She claimed that Alayna had asked producers to mislead him about their prior relationship and hinted that Alayna was more focused on the potential social media opportunities post-show than finding true love. This revelation was particularly shocking given that Alayna and Victoria G. had competed together in Miss USA last year and had seemed friendly before the show.
With Victoria’s comments casting doubt on Alayna’s intentions, one has to wonder—who is truly there for the wrong reasons? Although Alayna didn’t receive a rose this week, sneak peeks suggest that we haven’t seen the last of her. Will she make a comeback when the group heads to Cleveland, Ohio, their first stop of the season?
