Is Serena C the new villain on ‘The Bachelor’? Here's why fans feel she's 'ready to be the troublemaker'

Some fans felt that it wasn't Katie who started the drama, but Serena, and aren't convinced with the fact that Matt retained Serena and sent Katie home

There was no dearth of drama in the latest, February 8 episode of 'The Bachelor', as the suitresses were seen yet again bickering over a lot of issues. However, the two ladies who headlined the show were Serena C and Katie Thurston. Things went south when Serena C confronted Katie and now she's become the new "villain" in the eyes of the audience. 

After Matt James sent MJ Snyder home over her mean remarks about the new contestants, Serena took it upon herself to confront Katie about her "lighting little fires everywhere". She visited Katie in her room and blamed her for starting the drama in the house, which according to her has affected every suitress' relationship with Matt.

Katie, however, defended herself saying she never named anybody and that she was on the show only for Matt. She also told Serena to take it to Matt should she have an issue with her behavior. However, the discussion soon turned into an argument with both of them yelling at each other when Katie refused to be blamed. 

Serena said on camera that she wished for Katie's one-on-one with Matt, which would help him see her true colors. Her wish came true too as Matt invited Katie on a date, but ended up dumping her towards the end of it saying their relationship wasn't "progressing". 

While everyone in the house looked bummed on seeing Katie exit the show, Serena couldn't have been happier. But her excitement about Matt dumping Katie has only earned her the ire of fans, who have dubbed her the new "villain" of 'The Bachelor'. 

Some fans felt that it wasn't Katie who started the drama, but Serena, and aren't convinced with the fact that Matt retained Serena and sent Katie home. 

One tweeted, "How does Serena C keep getting roses? Am I missing something? #TheBachelorABC #TheBachelor." Another wrote, "Serena C smirk just irked tf out of me Katie is a Queen. #TheBachelor." A user tweeted, "Serena C applying that Donald Trump logic. Bullying wouldn’t be an issue if we didn’t talk about it. #TheBachelor."
