Every season of The Bachelorette, there is at least one villain. For Clare Crawley‘s season, it looks like Yosef Aborady is the one causing all of the drama. However, some fans love him even though they know they are supposed to hate him. Viewers agreed with some of Yosef’s thoughts on The Bachelorette, even if he went about it all wrong.

Yosef was offended that Clare Crawley made the contestants play strip dodgeball

“Today we are going to be playing dodgeball,” Crawley began. 

She told the men on the group date that she is looking for a man who “has some balls.” At first, the men are excited and having fun throwing the balls at each other and the star. However, host Chris Harrison comes in and divides the gentlemen into two groups. 

“I think we should play strip dodgeball,” Crawley ups the ante.

So the tournament ends when the losing team has nothing on. Crawley admits that it’s her game and that it is her rules. 

The blue team loses multiple games in a row and ends up in only their underwear. When they lose the last round, many of them take off their underwear, too, and proceed to take the “walk of shame” back to the resort. Yosef was not included in the dodgeball group date; however, he strongly felt pessimistic about the situation. 

“Oh hell no,” Yosef admitted he would never have stripped down during the dodgeball game. “I just seemed classless. It just left a really bad taste in my mouth.” 

Many fans agree with Yosef that she is ‘objectifying men’ with her group date

“I know we love to hate Yosef, but you cannot possibly convince me he’s in the wrong,” one fan wrote on Reddit

The viewer added that it didn’t make sense to call out the guys for not stepping up to talk to her. They were waiting for the producers or her cue. Also, the fan does not blame Yosef for not liking the dodgeball stripping date.

“Yosef is 100% right,” another fan added. “Claire is objectifying these men in this next bit, and if you support that but not the same for women, you are 100% in the wrong.”

Many fans did not like that Crawley made the men strip down to their underwear if they lost the dodgeball game. The viewers believe that if the roles were reversed, the male Bachelor would have been destroyed for making women do the same thing. 

Some fans still believe that Yosef is the villain on Clare Crawley’s season of ‘The Bachelorette’

“I def feel like I hate Yosef, but it’s not because anything he’s said is wrong,” another fan added.

Other fans feel that the contestant is putting himself out there as a villain too much. 

“Sorry, Yosef, this is exactly who Clare has always been,” one viewer wrote.

The bottom line is that even if the fans agree with what Yosef is saying, they do not love how he delivers his thoughts to Crawley. Viewers want to know how long the Bachelorette is going to keep this villain around.
