Peter Weber is down to four women on his season of The Bachelor. Next week, he’s meeting the families of Hannah Ann Sluss, Kelsey Weier, Madison Prewett, and Victoria Fuller. And based on the previews, it looks like things aren’t going to go smoothly.

On the most recent episode, Weber sent home fan-favorite Kelley Flanagan. She, along with Hannah Ann and Victoria F., accompanied Weber on a three-on-one. They knew one of them would be going home by the end of the date. Kelley was feeling pretty confident in herself. In her conversation with Weber, she told him relationships don’t need to be hard to be good and meaningful. The sentiment didn’t seem to land.

Bachelor Nation reacts to Peter Weber sending Kelley Flanagan home

Fans were disappointed to see the attorney go. They felt she was the most mature contestant remaining.

“can’t believe Kelley was sent home on #TheBachelor. Frustrating that Peter prefers women who can hardly string a sentence together over a smart, funny lawyer,” tweeted one fan.

“My girl Kelley deserved a better season…wth,” tweeted another.

Bachelor Nation seems to be particularly disappointed to see Victoria F. stay over Kelley.

“Peter: “I want someone who is ready for marriage”

Kelley:”I’m mature and I know I’m ready for marriage”

Victoria F:*picks fights every time she talks to Peter and isn’t sure she’s ready for marriage.

Peter:*sends Kelley home*” wrote one fan after the most recent episode.

“PETER HOW COULD YOU SEND KELLEY HOME AND KEPT VICTORIA F YA DONE GOOFED REAL GOOD,” tweeted another.

“peter gave victoria f a rose and sent kelley home i cant watch this sh*tshow anymore,” wrote another.

And several fans are already campaigning for Kelley to be the next bachelorette.

Is Victoria F. manipulating Peter Weber?

Something fans have been pointing out is that Weber appears to appreciate when his contestants get emotional. He gave Hannah Ann the date rose on their one-on-one after she began crying. And Kelsey and Victoria F. aren’t strangers to emotional behavior.

Some fans feel Victoria F., in particular, is manipulating Weber.

“Victoria f is lowkey manipulating Peter by always crying about how she doesn’t feel like Peter likes her,” writes one fan.

“Victoria F. is manipulating the hell out of Peter. Ugh!! Peter you are so… I just can’t anymore,” tweeted one fan.

“Peter legit dropped the “you aren’t like other girls” line on Victoria F. EWWW #TheBachelor She’s manipulating him so much ugh,” wrote another.

So is the medical sales representative manipulating the bachelor? Some fans certainly think so. We’ll just have to wait and see how their relationship develops.
