AGOURA HILLS, CALIFORNIA: In 'The Bachelor' Season 28, a pageant titled 'Mrs Right' featured female contestants competing for the title in front of Joey Graziadei. Lexi Young won not through an elaborate performance but by claiming to be a good kisser and sealing it with a kiss with Joey. While other contestants sang or performed acrobatics, Lexi's strategic move left Joey impressed, leading to her victory.

However, Joey's decision didn't sit well with many on the internet. A significant number believed it was a mistake, arguing that Lexi hadn't contributed much to the show and, therefore, was undeserving of the title. Despite Joey's choice, viewers were divided, questioning whether Lexi genuinely deserved recognition for her pageant performance.

"lexi has NOTHING going on behind those eyes," a user tweeted. "Lexi didn’t deserve to win the challenge tbh lmao it should’ve been Edwina or Maria," said another. Some questioned how kissing someone was even considered a talent. "lexi’s talent was…kissing joey in front of everyone else when he’s kissed *reads notes* everyone else? and joey liked it?! "How do you give Lexi the win after that awful kiss? Her answer may have been good but geez."



 



 



 

"Lexi we are kissing dudes as a talent now?," asked a user. Others said they liked Lexi, but still, she didn't do much on the show yet. "I really like lexi because i feel like she doesn't try to force interactions and do too much around joey." "Don’t like lexi at all," shared another. 



 



 



 

The Internet thinks Edwina deserved to win 'Mrs Right' contest 

On the show, when female contestants vied for Joey's heart and the coveted 'Mrs Right' title, each contestant showcased their talents. Edwina stood out by choosing to sing, leaving Joey notably impressed. However, when the title was announced, Lexi emerged as the winner. The internet had a different opinion, with many feeling that Edwina was the more deserving contender.



 

A Twitter poll further revealed that Edwina received the most votes from fans, solidifying the general sentiment that she was the preferred choice for the title. Despite Lexi being crowned on the show, public opinion leaned toward Edwina as the contestant who truly stood out and deserved the recognition.

Will 'The Bachelor' star Lexi leave the show due to 'fertility' issues? 

In 'The Bachelor' Season 28, 30-year-old Lexi made history as the first woman to arrive in the limo. Fans were surprised to learn that Lexi, the one with fertility issues, was the first contestant. Viewers were excited and hailed Lexi for being open and vulnerable about her health issues, particularly regarding her fertility.

Unfortunately, Lexi, dealing with endometriosis, fears the possibility of never being able to have children. She decided to self-eliminate before the 6th rose ceremony because her and Joey Grazidei's timelines for marriage and kids didn't align. Reality Steve revealed that this mismatch led to her leaving the show. It was said that Joey and her "timelines of marriage and kids didn’t align, so she left".
