Peter Weber Picks Victoria Fuller Over Kelsey Weier After Hometown Dates

Before meeting Victoria’s family, Peter confronts her with the information he learned. Victoria quickly gets defensive and denies breaking up anyone’s relationship. She doesn’t even want to talk about the situation, and has a major attitude about the situation. Peter accuses her of not wanting to fight for their relationship, and Victoria storms off.

Eventually, she calms down. Peter assures Victoria that he wasn’t trying to attack her or take Merissa’s word over hers. However, he’s concerned that she is so quick to walk away instead of talking things out and working on their issues. Victoria breaks down in tears and is comforted by Peter. Still, Peter leaves without meeting Victoria’s family.

Peter is more confused than ever because he still has strong feelings for Victoria, and during their conversation, she admitted that she’s falling in love with him. She shows up at his hotel room to talk, and apologizes for how everything went down. Peter admits that he’s worried about his and Victoria’s lack of communication. He says that he can’t have confidence in their relationship because he’s always worried that Victoria’s going to walk away like she did the night before. Victoria reiterates that she’s falling in love with Peter, and he decides to take time to thing things over.

At the rose ceremony, Peter gives roses to Hannah Ann, then Madison. Shockingly, he then gives the third rose to Victoria, which means that Kelsey is eliminated. Before the episode ends, Madison pulls Peter aside to talk, but we won’t see the results of their conversation until next week.

Kelsey's gotta be the favorite to be the new Bachelorette now.

Corinne Olympios Moves in with Boyfriend Vincent Fratantoni

People.com:

Corinne Olympios just took the next big step with her boyfriend, Vincent Fratantoni.

The former Bachelor in Paradise star revealed on Instagram over the weekend that she and Fratantoni, a real estate entrepreneur, had moved in together.

“Honey, I’m home,” she captioned a photo of the two embracing outside of their new house, with Olympios, 28, holding up a bottle of champagne in one hand.

She gave fans a sneak peek at the inside of the house on her Instagram Story, including shots of a bedroom that she captioned, “Coming along.”

She also posted a photo of their pool and a pair of insect-shaped decorative sculptures in their garden, writing, “Vinces fav purchase for the house so far.”

Olympios first joined the Bachelor franchise as a contestant on Nick Viall‘s season in 2017. She joined the cast of Bachelor in Paradise that summer before a sexual encounter with fellow contestant DeMario Jackson temporarily shuttered production on the show.

Warner Bros. subsequently launched an internal investigation into “allegations of misconduct,” later determining nothing improper had occurred. Production resumed without Olympios and Jackson.

'Bachelor in Paradise' Alums Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson Split Less Than a Year After Getting Married

Cosmopolitan.com:

Welp, it looks like another Bachelor couple is no more. Bachelor in Paradise alums Krystal Nielson and Chris Randone—who, you may recall, got married by Chris Harrison on the show last season—just announced that they're splitting up after eight months of marriage.

On Friday, the couple released a statement to Bachelor Nation about their break up, saying:

It hurts to announce that at this moment, we have mutually decided to separate. Never did we imagine this scenario, but we’ve come to a point where we both need to work on ourselves. We are best friends that love and care for each other so deeply. We’ve appreciated everyone’s love and support so far throughout our journey and we just ask that you please respect our privacy as we navigate through this.

While we don't have many more details and neither Krystal nor Chris posted anything on social media about the split, it is ~interesting~ to note that this breakup announcing is coming just a week after Krystal called the show's environment "toxic." She told Us Weekly, "It’s so crazy watching [The Bachelor] because it feels like such a toxic environment they’re in. Honestly, I just think it’s really scary...Seeing all this stuff come up for all the contestants now, like, blasts from the past [means] anything could be exposed on this show now, especially with how they are leaking everyone earlier."

This certainly comes as a surprise, these two seemed like they were head in over heels for each other esp, after they went through so much finding themselves and love.

Becca Kufrin Says She and Fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen Did Discuss Political Views

HuffPo.com:

They looked happy as can be after getting engaged on the finale of “The Bachelorette,” but Becca Kufrin and her now-fiancé, Garrett Yrigoyen, have been the subjects of a more downcast conversation ever since news of his troubling Instagram activity made headlines before the Season 14 premiere in May.

Yrigoyen, a 29-year-old medical sales rep from Reno, Nevada, was caught having liked social media posts that mock trans people, undocumented immigrants, left-wing women and a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting. He deleted his account (garrett_yrigs12) in May and created a different one, issuing an apology addressed “to those who I have hurt and offended.”

His double-taps were discovered right as Kufrin, 28, was making her initial press rounds as the new star of the long-running ABC reality series. At the time, network representatives told reporters, myself included, not to ask about Yrigoyen in interviews with her ― a hint that he might make it pretty far in the competition for Kufrin’s heart. And, well, he did, proposing with a Neil Lane ring on the shores of the Maldives during the finale this week.

Since then, Yrigoyen has joined her on a postseason media tour, facing inevitable questions about his not-so-great social media activity.

“I didn’t mean to offend anybody. I apologize for that still,” Yrigoyen told “Bachelorette” host Chris Harrison on the “After the Final Rose” special Monday night. “I didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings or do anything like that. So I stand by everything that I posted in my apology [on Instagram], and I’m just trying to grow as a person, be a better person on a daily basis.”

Universal Studios Suspends 'Bachelorette' Contestant Leo Dottavio During Sexual Harassment Probe

TMZ.com:

'Bachelorette' contestant Leo Dottavio is under investigation for sexual harassment, and his job as a stuntman at Universal Studios might hang in the balance ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... a complaint with human resources was filed Friday by someone who claims to have witnessed Leo making several women uncomfortable on the set with excessive hugging and unwanted flirting.

The complaint also mentions Leo sliding into the women's DMs and making them uncomfortable with the conversation.

We're told the person who filed the complaint says the alleged behavior went down at the end of 2017 when Leo worked on the "Water World" show ... but before he was cast on 'Bachelorette.'

He'd been working on "Water World" for 3 and a half years, but he was taken off the schedule in response to the initial allegations made by a former 'Bachelor' contestant ... who publicly accused him of sexually harassing women more than a decade ago. Leo denied those claims.
