'The Bachelorette' Season 18: Fans demand 'Justice for Joe' after rose ceremony

When it came down to picking between the Top 3, Joe Coleman didn't make the cut

For Michelle Young, it is now all down to the wire, as Season 18 of 'The Bachelorette' draws to the end. Having met the families of Joe Coleman, Brandon Jones and Nayte Olukoya, she now has to make the all-important choice - which two men go on to the final rose ceremony?

While some of Season 18's men, such as Ryan Fox, Jamie Skaar, Chris Sutton, and Martin Gelbspan, had her doubting love, the top three certainly restored her faith in the process. However, with all three fantasy suite dates going well, Michelle was caught between a rock and a hard place.

'The Bachelorette' Fan Review: Viewers feel Brandon Jones might be 'sent home'

While all three fantasy suites dates went well, the men geared up for the rose ceremony. Before this, Brandon took Michelle aside to check on her to see if she was okay. Michelle was emotional the entire time, while Nayte declared to the camera that this was Brandon's 'last hail mary' and it the move made him seem desperate. When it finally came down to the rose ceremony, Michelle picked Nayte and Brandon and sent Joe home. Fans were thoroughly upset, to say the least. 

"me when someone asks me to do something tomorrow knowing full well I am still recovering from Joe being sent home #TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan. "officially done w the bachelorette i'm not even gonna bother watching the finale i want justice for joe" tweeted a fan. "People saying it's cool or whatever cuz she got revenge on Joe smh that was how long ago? Idk about yall but if I don't like someone like that, I don't wanna be around them and I don't have time for games #TheBachelorette" tweeted another, adressing that the fact that Michelle and Joe had been in contact years ago, until he ghosted her. "Joe is to Michelle what Michelle was to Matt the right choice but didn't get picked!! #TheBachelorette" noted another. "I can't be the only one screaming at the tv JUSTICE4JOE #TheBachelorette" tweeted a fan. 

Michelle spoke to Joe about her decision, who kept his composure the entire time. However, he later broke down about how he opened up to her, only to get hurt in the process. 
While some fans demanded justice for Joe, others felt that he should've been the obvious choice over Nayte, who they assume is not ready for commitment. "Nayte will break Michelle's heart and she'll go running back to joe #TheBachelorette" stated a fan. "To keep Nayte and his dumbass earrings over Joe?!?! #TheBacheloretteABC #thebachelorette" argued another. "Michelle will regret choosing Joe. Nayte is beyond handsome but NOT ready. #TheBachelorette" added a fan.
