'The Bachelorette': Is Bennett more focused on winning against Noah than on Tayshia? Fans say 'he's not mature'

"Bennett just can't leave Noah alone! If he was as mature as he claims to be he would me more focused on Tayshia than Noah," a fan commented

The drama between Bennett Jordan and Noah Erb has been simmering for a while now and it has finally reached a point where Tayshia Adams had to step in and called them out for their "teenage boy drama." She even had a chat with both of them to get to the bottom of it. During her conversation, she got all the more frustrated with Noah and Bennett's constant bickering and asked why it was not taken care of earlier. 

Noah may have pulled a few tricks to reach out to Tayshia but that was it from him. Bennett has been since been disappointed by the way things have played out, especially, how Tayshia canceled the group date after Noah told on the suitors and how they have a different opinion of her, that she has been trying to stir the pot by giving away roses. The other men in the group feel Bennett is "arrogant" and often "talks down" to other people and therefore, it was not surprising to see him lock horns with Noah. 

In this week's episode, Bennett went so far as to roast Noah with gifts that were a direct attack on Noah's personality. At first, it seemed a gentlemanly thing to do - get a peace out gift, but when he explained the contents of the gift box, it seemed that it was packed only to make jabs at Noah. Meanwhile, fans say Bennett is more focused on winning the war with Noah than loving Tayshia.

"This is just something Bennett wants to win - he doesn’t actually care to love Tayshia #thebachlorette," a fan tweeted, while another pointed out: "Bennett you are creating the drama. I expected better from you. Money can’t buy you love or maturity. #thebachlorette."

"Okay, so Noah isn't exactly a fan favorite, but I feel like Bennett is more at fault here than Noah. As the older guy, he should presumably be more mature, and if he really respects Tayshia, he should trust she'll see through him eventually, and instead turn his energy towards their own relationship," a user posted on Reddit thread, while another expressed: "Bennett just can't leave Noah alone! If he was as mature as he claims to be he would me more focused on Tayshia than Noah. I think his insecurities are coming out."
