'The Bachelor': Was Rachael Kirkconnell shedding crocodile tears? Fans dub her 'spoiled brat' after fake tears

The fantasy suite dates episode finally aired and audiences witnessed Rachael being consumed by jealousy and sadness over Matt James spending intimate time with the rest of his suitresses

Rachael Kirkconnell just gave the Internet one more reason to spew hate against her. 'The Bachelor' aired the fantasy suite dates episode on Monday (March 8) night where Matt James got to spend uninterrupted 24 hours each with Michelle Young, Bri Springs, and Rachael Kirkconnell. Matt sent the first date card for Michelle followed by Bri and watching these women go first, Rachael started to get really emotional.

Even though she and Matt had opened up about their feelings towards each other, she couldn't stop thinking about Matt spending intimate time with the rest of the women. Rachael was heard saying talking to the cameras about how difficult it was for her to watch the man she could potentially be married to is having all these intimate conversations with other women. When the time came for her date which was a ceramics workshop, Rachael turned up looking unenthusiastic and somber, and after a point, she cut short the workshop to address her issues with her "potential husband".

Rachael and Matt had a chat after which the former was assured that it was a process that he had to go through and everything was happy and chirpy in her world again. However, all the tears that she had shed for more than an hour on the episode about Matt being in bed with Bri and Michelle didn't sit well with the audiences and they couldn't stop talking about it on Twitter. Most of them weren't sure if they were real tears and were of the opinion that she was just faking it for the cameras.
