AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: In the ongoing Season 28 of ABC's 'The Bachelor', fans eagerly anticipate the evolving connections between Joey Graziadei and the contestants. After the first two rose ceremonies, a few frontrunners were beginning to emerge.

But now, following the third rose ceremony, three contestants bid farewell to the competition. Chrissa Perez, Evalin Clark, and Starr Skyler were sent packing, leaving 15 women to advance to the next stage, which takes place in Malta for the fourth rose ceremony.

On the latest episode that featured a talent show pageant, nine women participated: Allison, Chrissa, Edwina, Kelsey A, Maria, Madina, Lexi, Lea, and Sydney.

Tensions arose during the event, particularly between Sydney Gordon and Maria Georgas. The drama began when Madina expressed self-consciousness about her age, being one of the older contestants.

Maria made a comment about it, which Sydney overheard. Sydney then informed Madina, leading to a conflict between Maria and Sydney.

Despite the drama, Kelsey Anderson received the group date rose. The winners of the Talent Show date were Kelsey and Evalin. Additionally, Katelyn DeBacker received the group date rose, marking significant moments and connections during this eventful episode of 'The Bachelor' Season 28.

In the previous week's episode, 31-year-old Madina Alam and 18 other contestants successfully navigated through the initial challenges, securing their spots after a mix of one-on-one dates and competitive group activities.

Despite the drama this week, Madina received a rose and will be returning to the mansion next week to continue pursuing a relationship with Joey on 'The Bachelor' Season 28.

Evalin Clark jumps on a table to catch Joey Graziadei's attention

In a previous episode of 'The Bachelor' Season 28, contestant Evalin Clark garnered significant fan support by making a memorable impression on Joey. During a group date featuring eight women all dressed in wedding attire, Evalin stood out for her bold actions to catch Joey's attention. Amid a musical chairs activity to determine seating arrangements, Evalin went the extra mile, even leaping over the table to secure a spot next to Joey.

Despite her athletic effort, she ended up at the end of the wedding table as the desired seat was already taken. Nevertheless, Joey was visibly impressed by Evalin's determination and athletic prowess.

Why did Lauren Hollinger choose to self-eliminate from 'The Bachelor'? 

During one of the episodes, Lauren Hollinger, a registered nurse at a Rittenhouse Square dermatology office, reached a breaking point and chose to self-eliminate. She expressed her decision with a simple statement, saying, “I just can't deal with it.” This choice followed an episode characterized by psychological challenges for the 22 remaining women.

The episode featured a wedding-themed date, placing Lauren in a situation that forced her to confront the emotional pain of losing her father. The cumulative impact of the psychological pressures became too much for Lauren, leading her to make the difficult decision to leave 'The Bachelor'.

Lauren participated in the first date, which involved a wedding simulation. Each of the nine women, including Lauren, wore a white gown, creating a sister-wives-style reception where they competed for attention from Joey.
