The Bachelorette Season 18, Episode 7 made me realize how quickly Michelle Young‘s journey is ending. We’re days away from hometowns, 8 men are now 4 men, and the next Bachelor redeemed himself in a single episode.
While there were plenty of good things that happened this week, as usual, there were a number of cringe-worthy moments that accompanied it.
Rose lovers, here are this week’s most cringeworthy moments!
The Bachelorette Season 18, Episode 6: Moment #1: Worst group date ever
This season has made two promises that they’re hellbent on keeping: A villain an episode and the worst group dates ever. The Bachelorette Season 18, Episode 7 saw Michelle take six of her suitors to a farm where the men milked cows, bottle-fed calves, and churned butter.
They were also made to clean cow poop, as Michelle defended the idea by saying that she wants to have kids, so there will be a lot of cleaning poop. Some of them (aka, Joe) killed it at impressing Michelle with their farm skills, the others were quite bad at it (Nayte), and some didn’t even want to be there (that’s Martin). All that budget and the group ends up at a farm. Do better, producers!
The Bachelorette Season 18, Episode 6: Moment #2: Martin is the most dangerous villain yet
In front of all the men, Martin went over his last conversation with Michelle where he discussed that women were high-maintenance, and said that Young perceived everything he meant “incorrectly.”
He also alluded that her vulnerable poem from a former episode meant she had “trauma” in her life that she hadn’t dealt with, and it was “immature.” After Olu filled Michelle in on his comments, she pulled Martin aside to confront him.
Martin completely denied making these comments which is a blatant lie. He also continued to interrupt as Michelle spoke and tried to gaslight her into believing that this was all a miscommunication on her end.
Thankfully, Michelle called him out on his actions and sent him home, revealing that she didn’t trust him anymore. Now Martin pretended to be all cool in front of her, but as soon as he got into the car, he said: “A woman like that doesn’t deserve my time.” What kind of woman, Martin?
A flawless one? I was so relieved to see him finally go home!
Rose lovers, that’s all for the cringeworthy moments in The Bachelorette Season 18 episode 7 this week!
Don’t forget to catch the next episode of The Bachelorette Season 18 airing next week on ABC because more drama is coming!
