As he walked Sydney out, she expressed her hopes that he was aware of the choice he was making. "I just hope you are conscious of your decision," she said. The negative atmosphere surrounding Sydney seemingly played a crucial role in Joey's decision. Upon returning to Maria, Joey confirmed his commitment to rebuilding their relationship, indicating that he saw a future with her. The elimination marked the end of Sydney's journey on 'The Bachelor'.

What happened on Sydney and Maria’s two-on-one date with Joey?

Joey eliminated Sydney during the two-on-one date with Maria in Malta, resulting in them not getting engaged. On two-on-one date, Joey chose to believe Maria over Sydney, leading to his decision to bid farewell to Sydney. In Episode 3 of 'The Bachelor' Season 28, Joey openly admitted that he found Maria's communication more genuine compared to Sydney's.

Throughout 'The Bachelor' Season 28, Sydney's behavior had been exceptionally intense, raising suspicions among viewers that she might have been strategically placed by producers to instigate drama. The producers, perhaps foreseeing the conflict, orchestrated a two-on-one date with Joey, Maria, and Sydney. Sydney's inclination towards drama rather than focusing on her relationship with Joey ultimately became the deciding factor in her elimination.
