Fans dub Jess as ‘saint’ in comparison to Sydney
Viewers labeled Sydney as a more significant and concerning figure, even describing her as a "bigger psycho." This perception shifted when compared to Jess, initially seen as a villain but now appearing relatively saintly in contrast to Sydney. As the last few episodes unfolded, the audience's sentiment towards Sydney changed dramatically.
Many criticized her as manipulative and dishonest, expressing disappointment with her behavior. Some even declared Sydney as the worst candidate in the entire history of the Bachelor franchise.
What is the feud between Maria and Sydney?
In the ongoing drama on 'The Bachelor' Season 28, tensions have escalated between contestants Sydney Gordon and Maria Georgas. The conflict originated from an incident where Madina Alam confronted Joey Graziadei's suitor over a perceived "condescending" comment about her age. Sydney, accusing Maria of creating a 'hostile' environment, found herself caught in the middle of the feud.
Expressing her displeasure in a confessional, Sydney made it clear that she did not like Maria and distanced herself from the drama, asserting, "I am not the drama." Sydney claimed that Maria engaged in bullying behavior, targeting both Madina and herself. According to Sydney, after Joey's conversation about "bullying," Maria allegedly turned her attention towards Madina, attacking her.
Sydney then asserted that she became the focus of Maria's aggression when she intervened and told Maria to back off. In an attempt to address the situation, Sydney took matters into her own hands during a pool party, reaching out to Joey to inform him about Maria's alleged behavior.
Is Maria eliminated from ‘The Bachelor’
After the third rose ceremony on 'The Bachelor,' Chrissa Perez, Evalin Clark, and Starr Skyler were eliminated, leaving 15 contestants in the competition. Notably, Maria managed to secure her spot and is still in the running.
Looking ahead to the next stage in Malta, a preview for the upcoming episode revealed a 2-on-1 date between Joey, Sydney, and Maria, promising heightened drama. On their yacht date, things took an unexpected turn when Sydney took Joey aside and claimed, "Maria started attacking me." This revelation adds a new layer of tension to the already dramatic relationships among the contestants. The evolving dynamics between Sydney and Maria are likely to be a focal point in the episodes to come.
