“Queen” Victoria Larson believes only she is good enough for Matt James. She has made it clear on multiple occasions that she couldn’t care less about others’ opinions as her only focus is to win Matt’s heart. However, it seemed like she was put in her place by Katie Thurston, when she was heard speaking ill of Sarah Trott, even after she quit the show. 
 
In the latest episode, the suitresses gather for a chat and are heard talking about Sarah’s exit and how it could impact their relationship with Matt. Like always, Victoria dives in at the first opportunity and begins to name call Sarah. This doesn’t go well with Katie and she asks Victoria to stop saying things about her fellow contestant who has already quit the show.

Victoria takes Katie aside and demands an apology, saying she doesn’t appreciate being cut off when she is expressing her opinion about others. But, Katie refuses to say sorry and tells Victoria she can speak all she wants but doesn’t mean others need to accept it. Victoria was clearly taken aback as she had been the one to “bully” everyone. 
 
After witnessing Katie’s tolerance to Victoria’s attitude, a large number of viewers took to Twitter to heap her with praise. A lot of them have branded Katie as the “real queen” mocking Victoria for her assumed title. And some of them who have opined that Katie is the “best contestant” of Matt’s Season, want to see her have her own season of ‘The Bachelorette’.

 One Twitter user wrote, "just me personally removing Victoria’s crown off of her and giving it to Katie for showing everyone what queen behavior actually looks like #TheBachelor" Another said, "#TheBachelor THANK YOU QUEEN KATIE! You woke Matt up!! Now Matt, be a man and send VICTORIA AND ANNA HOME NEXT WEEK!!!!!!" One wrote, "Nothing makes me more angry that these women don’t speak up when Victoria is being rude to the other women. These girls did not pass the Vibe check. Katie is a queen for speaking up and that’s it. #TheBachelor " Another fan said, "Katie from the bachelor better be the next bachelorette, she is the future, she is grace, SHE IS WASHINGTON" Adding to the above tweets one said, "KATIE IS THE BADDEST BITCH IN THE HOUSE.
