Sarah Trott was the highlight of the recent episode of 'The Bachelor'. It began with her fainting during the rose ceremony. Later, she admitted that she worked herself up throughout the day was exhausted. The majority of the women in the room thought she has developed the habit of grabbing attention and that this was just another antic. She was then heard telling the cameras that she's having all these feelings about seeing Matt dating other women and that she was uncomfortable even though it is the format of the show.

There were two group dates on Monday night's (January 18) episode and she wasn't invited to any of those. She was a part of the first group date but as part of the audience and she looked visibly upset watching a group of women write down their erotic fantasies that they harbor for Matt James. She crashed the second group date and walked in when Katie Thurston was spending one-on-one time with Matt. Not just Katie but all of the women went against her for doing so. 

The next day, it was Serena P's time to go on a group date. Matt had come in to pick her up and spotting everyone present over there but Sarah, he went to her room and reassured her that he wants her in the show and that she shouldn't give up just yet. The rest of the women thought that she was taking away from Serena P as it was her day and trying to "manipulate Matt and make him feel bad" about having relationships with other women.

People watching the show are now of the opinion that Sarah is now replacing Victoria Larson as the villain on the show. "Sarah becoming the villain was the twist I never saw coming this season #TheBachelor," wrote a fan. "Glad we can all agree Sarah is the villain and not our Queen Victoria #TheBachelor," wrote another. "Sarah went from America’s sweetheart to G-Eazy’s ex/Bachelor villain in the matter of a week..#TheBachelor," wrote another. "You know when your watching a show, and the heroes have to fight a bad guy, and it’s a whole thing, but then it turns out that the bad guy was just a warm-up for a REAL villain? Ladies and gents, our true villain, Sarah! #TheBachelor" wrote another. "Sarah currently self-sabotaging and spiraling with jealousy about Matt talking to other women while also signing up for a show called #TheBachelor," read another tweet.
