'The Bachelorette': Did Tayshia Adams fall for Noah's 'fake tears'? Fans impressed with the 'master manipulator'

Viewers were convinced that it was Noah's tears that played a major role in making Tayshia keep him on the show

While Tashiya Adams is looking forward to meeting her future husband on ‘The Bachelorette’, the “teenage drama” among some of the suitors has definitely thwarted her plans. For a long time, she has found herself entangled in the Noah and Bennett situation. In December 8's episode, Tayshia decides to send home either one of them as she was unable to cope with everything that was happening between the two suitors. 

The episode begins with Noah and Bennett waiting for Tayshia in the anticipation of the rose that could save them. However, when Tayshia meets with them individually, both the suitors are seen justifying their behavior to her. Bennett tried explaining his rather complicated relationship with Noah by resorting to a speech about him lacking a certain emotional quotient. But Tayshia was more concerned about him questioning her integrity. 

Meanwhile, when it’s time for Noah to explain himself to Tayshia, he ends up getting a tad bit emotional. He’s seen telling her that the issue with Bennett has put him in a tough situation and added that the other suitor has been condescending. He seems to tear up as he continues to talk and viewers soon surfaced on social media to express their opinion about Noah’s breakdown. 

The move, whether good or bad, did garner a lot of attention. While some of the viewers slammed Noah for “faking” tears, the rest have opined that it was a “good move” and played a major role in making Tayshia keep him on the show. 

One fan of the show wrote, "Does Noah offer turning the tables classes? Bc that performance was amazing! Even the fake choked back tears. Also bennet sucks #TheBachelorette.” Another added, "noah trying to create tears so tayshia keeps him #TheBachelorette." One wrote, "OMG Noah, GREAT ACTING!!! Wow, master manipulator!!! Crocodile tears!!#TheBachelorette." Adding to the above tweets another viewer added, "Noah going in with the tears...what a MOVE. #TheBachelorette." Another added, "Noah was smart for the tears. Good move. #TheBachelorette."

While we couldn't tell if it was Noah's tears that made Tayshia save him, it certainly didn't help him get a rose. Tayshia refused to give him a rose after sending Bennett home. It remains to be seen how far Noah's emotion can take him on the show. 

'The Bachelorette' airs on Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
