The Bachelor: What to expect from Alayah’s return tonight

It was a dramatic exit on last week’s episode of The Bachelor as Pilot Pete hit turbulence over his decision to send pageant queen Alayah home. But what does her return in tonight’s episode have in store?

The Bachelor, tonight, will mark the return of controversial Alayah, who will likely attempt to get her flight to our Bachelor’s heart back on course. Last week, Pilot Pete sent her packing after the drama with Sydney regarding her realness or lack thereof.

What can we expect from this beauty queen’s surprise reappearance tonight? Let’s talk!

Sydney will be upset AF.

I think it goes without saying that enemy number one, Sydney, will not take Alayah’s return well. Considering she started the accusations, owned it when Peter called her out in front of the group, and rightfully assumed her victory when “Put on a Show” Alayah didn’t get a rose, our instigator is going to be so pissed and perhaps shed some tears when this pageant girl reappears.

Hopefully, this results in another public confrontation and some more questioning about intentions from “Do You Even Have a Job” Sydney.

Alayah’s high-pitched stage voice will be prevalent. 

Even if you’re on Alayah’s side of this fake or not battle, the changes in her voice when the cameras or Peter are around are very obvious.

Alayah is 1000% going to strut into the room and crash whatever alone time Peter/Contestant XYZ are having with her over-the-top, I’m so perky and loving life, annoyingly positive high voice. It will be rough for both the poor girl who is simultaneously shocked and irritated that her one-on-one time is over.

And for wine-fueled Bachelor Nation who were relieved their eardrums had a break from the sound of her forced enthusiasm. Like constant phone voice fake.

But alas Pilot Pete will be too caught off guard by her presence to take notice of this unfortunate character trait.

Peter will be dumbfounded and probably take her back…?

As frustrating as it was to watch Peter fumble back and forth over his decision to send Alayah off on her merry way last week, just imagine how bad his confusion will be when she pops in unexpectedly to set the record straight and pitches that she should return to the competition.

Our boy will say a million times that he is confused/doesn’t know what to do/is shocked about seeing the once banished pageant queen before he gives in to his roller coaster of emotions and allows her through security and back to the boarding gate.

No offense to Peter, but he is clearly in a weakened state and struggled the first time not giving Alayah a rose. So, I have serious doubts that he can turn her away for a second time. She’s gotta be back in it to win it, camera persona and all. Persistence pays off, people!

The other ladies will react as poorly as they did to the close-call return of Hannah B.

With one bullet dodged when Pete smartly decided to not have Hannah B. participate this season, another relapse contestant will leave a very bad taste in the other girls’ mouths. Expect anger, frustration, name-calling, tears, and at least one bold lady telling Peter how mad she is before storming off and threatening to excuse herself from the show. (Looking at you, Natasha.)

Long story short, things will not go smoothly and it will be uncomfortable for them, but great TV for you and me! Let’s light this match and burn this whole thing down, Alayah.

Are you Team Alayah or should she suck it up and take her runner-up title and stay home? Tune in tonight to see how everything shakes out!
