'The Bachelorette': Tayshia sends Bennett home a second time, fans cheer and call it her 'biggest power move'

After saying goodbye to Riley and Blake following one-on-one dates, Tayshia chooses Ivan, Brendan, Zac and Ben during the rose ceremony, thus sending Noah and Bennett home

With only two episodes until the conclusion of Season 16 of ‘The Bachelorette’, fans have already started weighing all of Tayshia Adam’s options as the final four contestants continue their journey to win her heart. The December 14 episode saw a lot unfold between Tayshia and the suitors as she went on to clean the house like never before.

After saying goodbye to Riley and Blake following one-on-one dates, Tayshia chooses Ivan, Brendan, Zac and Ben during the rose ceremony, thus sending Noah and Bennett home.

While fans already knew about Noah’s fate on the show, they were glad to see Bennett go home, as many seemed worried about Tayshia accepting his apology and letting him back into the house. However, during the rose ceremony, she ends up eliminating him for the second time. Even though some viewers were sad by the fact that Riley had to leave even before he had the opportunity to open up, they couldn’t be happier about Bennett’s exit for which they have applauded Tayshia. 

Many expressed on social media that Tayshia’s decision to look beyond Bennett was not only impressive but also “powerful” as he had been previously severely criticized for questioning her integrity. And some seem to dislike him as he comes across as “condescending”. The Harvard graduate yet again became subject to trolls as fans of ‘The Bachelorette’ celebrated his exit. 

One tweeted, "Tayshia pulling the biggest power move of the century in bringing Bennett back just to then send him AND Noah home together. #TheBachelorette  #BacheloretteABC #BachelorNation." Another added, "Tayshia inviting Bennett back just to dump him again. @BacheloretteABC #TheBachelorette."

One fan wrote, "Just watched the rose ceremony. There is no way in a million years that #Bennett was "in love" with Tayshia. He's full of sh*t...he's a classic narcissist and only cared about moving on. Thank God she got rid of him. #TheBachelorette" Meanwhile, one tweeted, "Bennett after he confessed his love for Tayshia, she invited him to the rose ceremony and then she dumped him for a second time #TheBachelorette."

'The Bachelorette' Season 16 finale will air on December 21 and December 22 on ABC at 8 pm ET.
