'The Bachelorette' 2022: Fans diss the Speedo challenge, call to end 'almost naked dates'

While fans did manage to clown Season 16's Yosef Aborady while they were at it, they made it clear that they were done with semi-nude dates

If you've been keeping up with 'The Bachelorette', then you're entering this season just as clueless as the men are -- no one knows what the exact format it is, seeing that 29 men are now left trying to win Gabby and Rachel's heart. The twist, however, is the fact that the group is not divided among the women, being that there is a chance Gabby and Rachel might fall for one man or that the man they love might fall for the other.

Rachel Reccia and Gabby Windey seem to have a pretty solid friendship so far, with not much coming in the way of their relationship. But, as the show progresses, that might stand to change. But for now, it seems to be smooth sailing, as the women try to get to know the men better.

Between having limited beds at the Bachelor mansion and terrible weather, the show decided that it would be best to have a speedo pageant of sorts for. While the men stripped down to speedos and had a bit of a talent show, fans were not on board with the whole challenge and were tired of having to see it so early on. 

"The Bachelor group dates: today the ladies will show how strong and fierce they are by competing against each other in a jiu jitsu tournament The Bachelorette group dates: alright boys let’s get those jock straps on I wanna see some ASS during this lapdance" tweeted a fan. "So were just going to get the objectification out of the way then? #TheBachelorette #bachelorette" asked another. "There would be a MASSIVE outcry if a bachelor said “ladies - I’m making you do a pageant in this skimpy bikini” This is hypocritical garbage. #TheBachelorette #bachelorette" said a fan. "I’m glad the guys seem to be having fun with this. But the bachelor franchise really needs to end these almost naked dates #TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan.

But while some fans were tired of these sorts of group dates, other 'Bachelor' nation fans were more concerned about Season 16's Yosef Aborady. For those of you wondering, back on Season 16, Yosef got into a massive argument with then 'Bachelorette'  Clare Crawley and declared her unfit to be the mother to his daughter Zara. Fans brought back the joke, stating that production needs to be more mindful for Yosef's sake. 

"How could they have a Speedo date when Yosef’s daughter at home is watching??? #TheBachelorette #Bachelorette" said a fan. "Okay guys but Yosef’s daughter is watching #TheBachelorettes #TheBachelorette" added another. "Yosef is having a heart attack somewhere out there watching all of these banana hammocks happen
😂🍌😂 @BacheloretteABC #TheBachelorette" joked another.
