The Bachelorette Season 19 aired another dramatic episode on Monday, August 1, 2022, at 8.00 pm ET on ABC. The two-hour time frame saw the leads, Gabby and Rachel, continue to explore their relationships and form deeper connections while raising concerns and dealing with drama as they set sail across Europe on a cruise ship.
In this week's episode, Hayden quickly turned into the season's villain after his statement toward Gabby and Rachel in front of the other suitors. He called the bachelorettes "b***hes" and compared them to his ex-girlfriend. After being confronted by Rachel, he denied making any such statement but was quickly escorted out by the lead, leading to his elimination from the show.
Fans were annoyed with the contestant's unruly behavior on the show and took to social media to express their opinions. One tweeted:
Hayden makes rude comments about The Bachelorette leads Gabby and Rachel
Hayden was already under the scanner after last week's episode of The Bachelorette when he called Gabby "rough around the edges" and decided to pursue Rachel. However, fans slammed Rachel for giving him a second chance and handing him a rose during the rose ceremony.
Hayden again came under attack this week after responding to his remarks about Gabby in front of the other suitors. He said:
"I would hope that Gabby is a little bit more mature than that.I don't think I said anything wrong to be honest with you. My dumb a** uses the same verbiage that Gabby uses to describe herself and she f***ing didn't like that. Well b**ch maybe you shouldn't use that word to describe yourself then."
The Bachelorette contestant then compared Gabby and Rachel to his ex-girlfriend and said they "don't hold a candle" to her. He said:
"I just don't want to settle. I can tell you right now, I don't see how any guy in her could be, like, I'm f***in marrying these girls."
Later in the episode, James Clark, also known as Meatball, addressed the issue to Rachel. However, the latter had a conversation with Hayden where he opened up about his sick dog and was therefore in disbelief over what Meatball said.
Meatball revealed that Hayden made a vulgar comparison between Rachel and his ex-girlfriend and called The Bachelorette leads "b***hes." When Rachel first confronted Hayden, he kept thinking that it was about his sick dog. However, when asked about the comments he made, Hayden said:
“I don’t speak like that. That’s not my character ... that's not what I said."
However, after everything Rachel had gone through this week, she didn't believe his justification and explanation and was ready to escort him out of the ship. She said:
"I really feel like this is the end of my rope. I'm hitting road block after road block after road block, and I can't keep doing it. I can't really keep dealing with it. Can I walk you out?"
The Bachelorette contestant hence exited the ship as well as from the series. Along with Hayden, others who failed to receive a rose from Rachel and Gabby during this week's rose ceremony were Jordan, Quincey, and Kirk.
Check out who is still in the running for Gabby and Rachel.
Gabby: Spencer, Jason, Nate, Erich, Johnny, Michael, and Mario.
Rachel: Tino, Tyler, Aven, Meatball, Zach, Ethan, and Logan
Fans react to The Bachelorette contestant Hayden slamming Gabby and Rachel
Fans of the show slammed Hayden for his remarks about the leads and took to social media to express their disappointment.
Some fans found it surprising that Hayden would leave his sick dog Rambo suffering from cancer, with only a few months to live and make his debut on the show. They were quick to shower some interesting reactions on social media.
Logan, however, realized that although he chose to be committed to Rachel last week, he was more attracted to Gabby and wanted to explore his connection with her. Rachel already had a tough week, and with these revelations, things will turn even more dramatic this season.
Tune in for an all-new episode of The Bachelorette next Monday, August 8, 2022, at 8.00 pm ET on ABC.
