2-on-1 Date, New Drama, and Romance Blossoming as ‘The Bachelor’ Heads to Malta Next Week
Get ready for the two-night special!
This week, fans saw Joey build special connections as Kelsey A., Katelyn, and Jenn all received roses on their dates.
But the week was also riddled with drama as Maria and Sydney continued to butt heads at the pool party.
Now, as we head into next week’s special two-night “Bachelor” event, love and tension are continuing to heat up.
Joey and his women travel to Malta, an island off the coast of Italy.
Upon their arrival, Joey says, “I’m excited to be in Malta. It’s crazy to say at this stage, but I do feel like my wife is here.”
One of the women is heard calling Joey the “man of my dreams” and others say they are “falling for him.”
Lexi is seen getting emotional, saying, “I just feel a happiness in my heart that I’ve never felt.”
And as much as sparks are flying, drama reaches new heights among the women.
New tensions seem to rise between Lea and Madina, and Sydney and Maria continue to be at odds.
Maria says, “I want Joey and I to continue to build our connection with no drama,” but Sydney has other plans: “Joey is trying to find his wife and it is 110% not Maria. I do have a little bit of a game plan. Maria started attacking me.”
Sydney and Maria are seen on a two-on-one date on a boat with Joey, and you’re not going to want to miss this dramatic date.
Joey asks, “The question is, is Maria who I think she is or not?” and Maria responds, “Is this something you can look past?”
The teaser for next week’s episodes leaves off with Joey saying, “Truthfully, I don’t know.”
Make sure to tune in next Monday and Tuesday on ABC or stream later on Hulu to see how it all unfolds.
