'Bachelor in Paradise' 2022: Fans half-heartedly defend Logan as Kate manipulates him into turning down a date

'I cannot believe that Kate is so toxic that she’s made me root for Logan,' a fan wrote defending Logan

VALLARTA, MEXICO: Though Kate Gallivan chose Logan Palmer over Hayden Markowitz at the most recent Rose Ceremony, she wasn't ready to let her critical comments about their different financial circumstances go. After seeing the November 14 episode, Bachelor Nation is surprised that Kate's toxicity is making them feel awful for Logan, who, to be honest, hasn't been exactly a fan-favorite this season.

"The biggest gap between Logan and I is our position in life. Logan is 26 years old, not established, drives an orange Honda, has a broken phone, he's a dog walker," she said. "Meanwhile, I'm constantly someone who is wowing. I'm a wower. I want to be wowed."

Logan, on the other hand, informed Kate that her comments about the rose ceremony had "pretty hurt" him. "I'm really sorry if I made you feel like I was critiquing you, but I am also letting you know that the growth we had this past week was driven by me steering the ship, as I told you, and I don’t want it to be that way," Kate answered.

Logan argued with her assessment, but Kate was still caught up in Logan's failure to stop her from going on a date with Hayden. Logan, on the other hand, noted that he turned down Mara's interest in him without being asked, and that's how he'd "liked for things to go" on Kate's end as well. The conversation finished with an embrace and a kiss, but tensions remained high. "I want to be with Kate and I like her... but there’s still a lot of pent-up frustration between the two of us," Logan told the cameras. "I'm afraid that any leftover resentment or feelings of anxiety are going to come back to haunt us."

Lyndsey Windham from Clayton's season has her sights set on Logan, posing a danger to the relationship. Though Logan confessed that he wanted to see Lyndsey, he informed her that he'd have to negotiate a prospective meeting with Kate, one of Lyndsey's close friends.

Logan's desire to date someone else gave Kate whiplash, and she told him, "I'm confused that you’re even entertaining this... It makes me question if the things you said last night even mean anything to you. "

Logan informed Kate, while their chat was profound, "It's like you’re disappointed and critical and frustrated in me constantly... I feel like you look down on me."

Kate stated she didn't want Logan to go on the date after their "defining conversation," and he grudgingly agreed. "Logan is resentful about my date with Hayden. There's just no way he’s not. That was literally eons ago. He didn't say, 'Don't go.' He expected me to read his mind because he's a child and I can't do that, so I took what he said at face value and I went because he told me, 'I'm not going to tie you down,'" Kate told the cameras. "Name a moment when I was critical of you, other than asking you to do more for me."

Lyndsey decided to leave the beach for good after Logan let her down. Kate's toxicity has stunned fans as they write, "I cannot believe that Kate is so toxic that she’s made me root for Logan. Like free yourself please, go on the date please!" Another fan quipped, "Kate: “when am I being critical” Also Kate “hes young , broke and drives an orange honda”." Fans didn't hold back to slam Kate as she says, "NOT KATE SAYING HER DATE WITH HAYDEN WAS EONS AGO AND SHE’S A “DIFFERENT PERSON” NOW???" Following Monday night's episode, Kate has been awarded, "The award for most toxic person on the beach goes to Kate."

Fans are now calling for Logan to break up with Kate immediately, "Logan just break up with this manipulative person already oml." Another fan quipped, "If you asked me three weeks ago if I was going to be swinging for Logan, I’d say my sister in Christ." Some fans also felt, "Kate really just bullied Logan into not going on a date." Expecting a bombshell episode on November 15, a fan wrote, "Me mentally preparing to defend my new friend Logan next week against Kate and Rachel."

'Bachelor in Paradise' airs on ABC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 pm.
