LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The first drama between 'The Golden Bachelor' ladies, unfolded during the third episode, throwing the Bachelor Mansion into complete disarray.

The confrontation among the ladies occurred on Thursday, October 12, episode of the show, featuring Kathy Swarts and Theresa Nist on opposite sides in their quest for Gerry Turner's affection.

Kathy, who had already established herself as the season's provocatively alluring and controversial figure, lived up to her reputation by inciting a dramatic and game-changing feud with her former ally, Theresa.

Kathy's agitation was sparked by Theresa's alleged boastful remarks of having a deep connection with Gerry following their solo date the previous week. However, actual footage from the conversation showed that Theresa was simply confiding in a friend.

Kathy, on the other hand, misinterpreted the situation, giving Theresa the cold shoulder behind her back and then finding more reasons to be offended before the women joined Gerry for their evening event.

"Theresa, you can tell that her eyes are saying, 'Yeah, you don't have a chance,'" Kathy fumed in front of the camera. "I don't like it."

On the other hand, Gerry was completely unaware of the mansion's intrigue, falling for Kathy's emotions during a one-on-one encounter in which she quietly sought to throw Theresa under the bus.

"I think sometimes what you think you see is not what is," Theresa mumbled in a Theresa-bashing attempt that sailed over Gerry's head.

"This is crazy," Theresa said to the camera as she pieced together the rivalry she had not anticipated. She sobbed in Gerry's hokily consoling arms, without addressing her obvious rival.

Theresa even did the right thing by talking to Kathy, who eventually expressed her rage while retaining her obstinate outrage.

Fans turned to X, to write, "Kathy becoming the villain, we need to see her on Golden Paradise." While another person quipped, "The producers scrambling to find someone to give the villain edit to and landing on Kathy."



 



 

One person also noted, "Kathy is such a hater… and a CLASSIC bachelor villain. Bravo." A fourth user also asked, "So we now have a Villain on #TheGoldenBachelor — Does this mean Kathy just earned a ticket to Paradise??"



 



 

One user also joked, "They’re giving Kathy the villain music." While others sighed, "Not Kathy being the villain."

Gerry found Theresa in her bedroom after she left abruptly left the conversation to cry in her bedroom.

He advised her to "let it go" if her conscience was clear, but told the drama's cameras, "That's not what I'm here for. That's the one area that could be a real stumbling block for us."

Nonetheless, Gerry gave Theresa a rose. Theresa decided to talk to Kathy once again.

They first bonded over Gerry's kindness until Theresa revealed, "He came up to me and said the most wonderful thing. He came up to where I was bawling my eyes out in my bedroom."

"He came up to your bedroom?!" Kathy inquired.

"Theresa, that's the kind of stuff that you need to keep to yourself."

Kathy chastised Theresa for not thinking before speaking in a confessional, saying, "I think Theresa's a nice person. I can't figure out if she's dumb as a rock or knows exactly what she's doing... Zip your lip."

"Kathy's a good person. I'm a good person," Theresa said to the cameras. "We're all good people here, so I hope we can be good friends again."
