Bachelor fans shocked when frontrunner Maria contemplates quitting

Maria Georgas told Joey Graziadei she had thoughts about leaving the show in an upcoming episode of The Bachelor, which was surprising to fans.

On The Bachelor Season 28, Maria Georgas has become a frontrunner on the show because of her authentic connection with Joey Graziadei.

She was criticized by Lea Cayanan and Sydney Gordon for getting in the middle of a fight between Sydney and Madina Alam about their ages.

Both Sydney and Lea were eliminated, and Maria got her well-deserved Bachelor one-on-one date with Joey in Episode 6.

Maria revealed that she had feelings for Joey, and he finally had hope that he’ll find a wife at the end of the season.

Bachelor fans want Joey to end up with Maria

In a preview for tonight’s episode of The Bachelor, there’s a voiceover of Maria saying, “I don’t like that I can’t say he’s mine.”

When she tells Joey how she feels during a sit down, he replies, “So, is this it? Because it feels like it might be,” as Maria tearfully nods.

Bachelor fans were shocked by the teaser, and shared their reactions in the comments. “For some strange reason, I liked Joey with Maria and Daisy. I think both would challenge him and also keep things exciting,” one fan wrote.

“I really hope the teaser of his convo with Maria is set up to fool us! I want to see her go to hometowns,” another fan agreed.

“Joey is so sincere, caring and sweet. I truly hope he chooses the lady who’s right for him. I think he’d do well with Maria,” a third user said.

Viewers are only a few weeks away from finding out who Joey gives his final rose to in the end, and why he was shown crying in The Bachelor Season 28 trailer.

The last few episodes will be intense as more surprising eliminations happen with the women, and fans are hoping that Maria either stays in the competition or becomes the next Bachelorette.

The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
