Rudi, who is head over heels in love with Matt, confessed her feelings to him only for him to reply that she is "courageous". Fans are now saying she deserves someone better. 

'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' returned on Monday night for an all-new episode. Last week we saw Julia and Brandon's over the top, unwanted drama come to an end after Chris Harrison eliminated them for their lack of chemistry during the performance.

Fans felt the two deserved it after what they did to Savannah and Sheridan. The series is coming to an end and with just one episode left, the competition is getting heated up as only four couples remain.

While Bri and Chris seem established after they confessed their feelings to each other last week, the others haven't reached there yet. 

With barely a week remaining for the series to end, there's trouble in paradise for Rudi and Matt. Seeing Chris and Bri take the next step in their relationship, Rudi feels inspired. During her confessional, she reveals she is falling for Matt but doesn't know if he feels the same. 

The four remaining couples head over to Las Vegas this week as the season comes to an end. Matt, during his confessional, reveals that there might be a possibility he is falling for her, but he's not sure about it. 

Rudi somehow musters up the courage to tell Matt how she's feeling. She tells him she is falling in love with him. But the reply she got from him was nothing anyone expected. He told Rudi she was courageous for speaking the truth and he's very proud of her. Who is he? Dr Phil? Well, fans weren't happy about the way he replied to Rudi. 

Taking to Twitter, many said she deserved better. "Amazing performance by Rudi and Matt. Still think Rudi deserves so much better. #ListenToYourHeart." Another added, "Also Rudi deserves better and to be treated like the queen she is #ListenToYourHeart." 

"I’m really over subpar men treating way out of their league women like they’re leftovers. Savannah and Rudi DESERVE BETTER #ListenToYourHeart," a fan shared. Another said, "Rudi deserves better than all of this mess. I love her. #ListenToYourHeart." 

"Me watching Rudi and Matt together, RUDI DESERVES BETTER #LTYH," a fan wrote. 

'The Bachelor Presents: Listen to Your Heart' airs every Monday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
