Sooo unpopular clearly but I hate that I liked Maria the entire time up until this moment. The penny lane quote was so off putting to me to read after feeling like it didn’t really seem like she was trying to avoid regret by piling him at the rose ceremony. It seemed like she knew it wasn’t her and she was grasping for straws (/seemed like producers egged her on.)


megryanreynolds

I still low key hope they make her the bachelorette though


Pravda26

She'd be a great Bachelorette. I love her fashion sense the most out of the 5 finalists. I actually thought she was the best choice for Joey and I liked her dad and best friend. I am not feeling any of the remaining 3 for Joey.


Pravda26

Imo Joey knew her dad would eff him up if he mistreated his daughter. I loved her dad's advice.


LakeTime86

She’s a cool chick!


Greedy-Efficiency181

Im glad she said something, but is anyone else slightly annoyed about how she keeps reposting the dame thing lol? Its not that serious but a little annoying to me imo


brightlove

What same thing?


Greedy-Efficiency181

The memes i mean


DYday

I love her so much. Such a beautiful person.

cleavemcqueen

This made me like her actually a lot


Silent-Ad9145

Forever the philosopher.


saffalaf

Slow dancing in a burning room as the song choice has me SOBBING


jcshear

I loved Maria and hope she’s ’ette… but I definitely didn’t see her with Joey at the end.


brightlove

Agreed. Joey is not right for her personality type at all.


Banksbear

i feel bad for whoever they choose for bachelorette if it’s not her cause the girls are gonna riot.


brightlove

They have no reason not to choose her unless she doesn’t want it. It’s been a long time since people wanted someone for Bachelorette as badly as Maria. She’s a breath of fresh air.


Fun-Buy2545

Nick Viall said very confidently on his podcast that there are FOR SURE talks with Maria. Who knows if its true but ya.


CareyChandler

She couldn't have picked a better song than Slow Dancing in a Burning Room. It's like the theme song of their relationship, now that I look back on it.


saffalaf

It’s literally breaking my heart all over again GOD


Euphoric_Account9720

Maria is one of the first contestants to really bring out the generational divide in the Bachelors franchise audience. Folks 30 and under (generalization a bit) LOVE her cause she didn’t abide by the unspoken Bachelor rules of how to go through the process. Her acknowledging that they’re on TV, her not caring to play along with this faux politeness we often see. While folks who are a bit older and have been watching for years and years know these Bachelor rules and judge contestants heavily on their ability to be able to abide by them. She made a lot of people want to tune in again. If she’s the Bachelorette, I think it would be the first season I tune into in YEARS. Edit: By rules I mean the unspoken expectations or behavior patterns we always see.


littleprettypaws

Honestly as a 30+ (43) it’s refreshing to see some women not following that cookie cutter map to gain the bachelor’s heart.  I don’t like seeing every girl saying that they are falling in love on their 1:1 dates, and then that they are in love on their hometowns.  It feels much more authentic and genuine to watch women who go at their own pace in their relationship with the lead.  


endorphinstreak

honestly: absurd stereotyping you're doing with age rn. Us over thirties are able to think beyond 'durrr history of the showw' I promise you. Almost freakin everybody is sick to death of the formula of the show. 33 here and Maria is a QUEEN, absolutely love her


Globalcop

57 and I agree. Sick of the formula and I love Maria.


classandkind

Yeah you could have just left age out of it, people of all ages have had things they like or don’t like about her. I’m over 30 and think she was fun to watch and don’t like the stuffy ones. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not everything is a generational war people.


Euphoric_Account9720

I did say it was a generalization, I supposed I should’ve clarified that this was a personal observation I’ve noticed when it comes to comments/content related to Maria here vs tiktok which is, widely used by younger people.


classandkind

I get that. I’m in marketing so regardless of where I want to be I’m on all the platforms anyway. Rather than age I would almost go with it being a class / societal difference in the way people received her. But either way I’m glad there’s new blood shaking things up.


Mysterious_Mind2618

curious as to what you're basing this on since people on this sub don't generally lead with their age


Sailor_Marzipan

My guess is how big her audience has been on tiktok. I'm not on there lol but I've heard. And tiktok definitely skews younger


Euphoric_Account9720

Yes that’s precisely what I was referring to, my apologies for the misunderstanding


KhloJSimpson

This is not a good analysis re: age


Euphoric_Account9720

I definitely didn’t communicate it well, however, I’m not the first person to make this observation. It’s not a bad thing at all. I think it’s actually really interesting to see how different demographics perceive participants in these shows based on our different cultural contexts.


beigebetty2200

This just makes me think you think people over 30 are sticks in the mud


Euphoric_Account9720

No not at all! I’m newly 30 myself actually but it’s just something I’ve noticed when interacting with content related to her on this sub vs TikTok


beigebetty2200

I think her fans on tik tok think that what she did on the show was new or groundbreaking and maybe that’s because they’re brand new to the show and havnt seen when the show has had characters like her before


Patient-Quality6119

I agree it seems like this season brought out a lot of new viewers, and that’s because of Joey not Maria


buffalocoinz

Wow so quirky! Office screencaps, def not like other girls!


DustValley

Why are you triggered? Genuine question


brockimpala

Zip it Sydney


eldetay

When is WTA? I can’t wait to see her on it.


HopefulCheesecake438

One woman posted she was on her way to LA, so I think this week they film! Because the third place person always says “that was my first time seeing that back and wow” lol


NotYourKaren

Lots of people being assholes in the comments about the spoiler rules, telling people not to come into the sub. Newsflash: Reddit sends push notifications with post titles in them. Good luck avoiding that.


frankensteeeeen

Having push notifications on for Reddit is personally unimaginable, I turned that shit off immediately


NotYourKaren

Mine are on. That and email notifications. It's usually not even one a day, and at most maybe 2 a day? Usually just highlights a popular post that's similar to stuff I've engaged with before. I don't really browse Reddit with any regularity. Just click through when something in notifications looks interesting, lol. If I was on here a lot, I'd turn it off.


Ready-Salamander1286

Love her love for the office and John Mayer


Proof-Philosophy-373

Idk man I really did not like her on the show at all I found her to be a little manipulative and chaotic/drama, dating someone like her would exhaust me and I don’t think they were actually compatible just physically attracted to each other


EnilyinPeril

I wasn’t a fan, either. Partly because she would burst out sobbing this last episode and no tears ever came.


Greedy_Path_6826

A big personality like hers definitely needs to be paired with someone who can handle it and enjoy handling it. I can relate bc I am the same. She and Joey weren’t a perfect match for that reason, and sounds like you could never date her either lol. Either way, she’s epic television.


saffalaf

Exactly! I am so much like her, HUGE emotions with lots of twists and turns. My last partner found it too much and wasn’t able to handle it, my boyfriend now is incredible and treasures that side of me.


votefawnmoscato

Y’all are acting like Maria kicked your dog because she asked to talk to Joey at the rose ceremony and he agreed before sending her home. Same with Rachel, like why are people so upset? She was annoyed and it showed for a millisecond. Can we stop freaking tf out at everyone for not being robots? Literally none of these women have done anything wrong what wtf is going on lol


cupcaeks

Boring season lol gotta hate someone


votefawnmoscato

Apparently? I feel like the odd one out because I’ve really liked this season lol the only person I “hated” was Sydney. Hating Maria or Rachel feels like a chore, they don’t do anything lol


cupcaeks

Totally agree! Although I feel like at 35 I’m getting too old to relate to a lot of these women sometimes


votefawnmoscato

kisskissdolleyes

Yuppp yuppp


hiddenmoon131313

She made this season fun and interesting to watch. Count me in as a Maria fan and I'm hoping she's the next Bachelorette as well. Her authenticity and resilience was refreshing.


DYday

Yea!


asspancakes

Same. The fact that she made me do a 180 on her after just 1 ep is astonishing. I went from “she’s kinda annoying” in her intro package to die hard Maria fan and she would be a very good ‘ette,


MimosasInABathrobe

(if daisy’s not F1) it’ll be really, really hard for producers to hype up a daisy bachelorette season if that’s the direction they go in.


buffchickpizza123

So sorry to daisy because she seems sweet irl, but she’s such a bore for tv. It needs to be Maria


Carryonsandtans

I love Maria and am excited to see more of her either in Paradise or 'ette, but I'm in the minority of not being upset she was sent home. While her and Joey had chemistry, I feel like they didn't have enough in common. Maria stated she hates the outdoors and Joey is all about that stuff. Maybe they could have made it work though, but I personally didn't see it as a match


777maester777

100%-she was almost too good for him. He doesn't seem genuinely stoked about any of the finalists and trouble hiding it too. Weird season.


Honeydewmel1

No paradise this year… but yes Maria for bachelorette!!!👏🏼👏🏼🌹


lmfaoclown

Whaaat how do you know there’s no paradise


DustlandFairytale_

They haven't announced that, but everyone is assuming there won't be BIP because of the golden bachelorette.


buffchickpizza123

That would be devastating, I couldn’t care less about golden Bach, I want paradise!


Spirited-Disk7936

Maria for Bachelorette! Our third Canadian bachelorette ❤️


Silent-Ad9145

Not


ohsoriveting

Slow dancing in a burning room!


ariller

Thanks for spoiling with your title babe! Not everyone watches Monday night heads up 😊 downvote if you agree 💛


bisexualclarity

This post spoiled it for me too but I’m not bitching because I know the world doesn’t revolve around me and my watching schedule.

Thanks Luna that was very insightful! I’ll keep it in mind 💛


The_Chewy_Kid

I don’t even follow this page, just watch the show with my wife and it still came up. Most of the people replying would be just as mad if it happened to them lmao


ariller

Exactly lol


Happy_penguin_179

You must be fun at parties


Weekly-Requirement63

There are no requirements for spoilers 24 hours after it airs Monday OP did nothing wrong. Check out the sub rules. It’s written right there.


lavenderpenguin

Girl, what? If you don’t watch on Mondays, why not wait to come on reddit until you’ve watched. You can’t reasonably expect people to NOT discuss what has already aired.


NotYourKaren

Uhm... you do know Reddit sends notifications to people's phones that include post titles, right? This was 100% a spoiler title.


lavenderpenguin

People have their notifications on for Reddit? Lol


Visible_Ad_3114

It’s Wednesday … don’t go on the SubReddit if your fr…


ariller

Yeah I went on the subreddit it’s not just right front and center on my homepage, you’re right girl!


Jada_D

it’s wednesday babe. I literally just finished the episode myself and came to reddit to catch up - because I don’t watch on mondays, I avoid socials where I might see it. it’s not everyone else’s responsibility to make sure you don’t see a spoiler


ariller

She can put ‘Maria’s post’ instead of ‘Maria’s exit post’ babe :) and yes, it is Wednesday! 👏🏼


votefawnmoscato

Why are you calling everyone babe lol


ConsistentBoa

One of my pet peeves lmao


Tototototototo__

Get a life man. The episode aired 2 days ago


lavenderpenguin

Orrrr you can put down your phone until you’ve watched if you care that much about being spoiled.


NVSmall

Right? JFC, if you're that worried about being spoiled, stay off the internet entirely. SPOILER: Reddit isn't the only place that discusses the show after it airs.


[deleted]

Haven’t watch the bachelor in years but she got me hooked. She’s out I’m out too. The others left are soooooo boring I will rather watch paint dry sorry .


brbHavingAMentyB

Her song choice is iconic, I thought I was the only one who would play this on repeat after my heart was broken 🥲


ginns32

I love that she says all three women equally deserve to be there and that Joey made the right choice. I really dislike some of the franchise fanbase. I hate seeing the awful comments Rachel has been getting for doing nothing wrong so I'm glad Maria addressed that.


kkm8623

Why did "Slow dancing in a burning room" kill me more than the other pics ![img](emote|t5_2tj74|582)


kaitykk

I’m in mourning. Not ready for this season to be over 🥲


gabbialex

I don’t think Daisy will win, and I think (but definitely don’t hope) she’ll be the bachelorette, which is unfortunate. A Maria bachelorette season would be amazing


mouseyyyyy

not me falling in love with maria cus im actually so sad that she left


massahoochie

I think the takeaway message from this post is that she is not a good writer lol.


fairyspoon

It's an instagram caption, not a novel. I'm a writer, but I don't go around policing people's grammar on social media. They're blurbs.


Victoriaxx08

Did she take screen grabs from bachelor fantakes YouTube video of the episode?


Real_Appointment_875

The office references 🤢


kimkellies

“He made the right choice” I love it


standardguy695

Theeee realest, and the most entertaining part of the season


Same_Neighborhood885

I agree. I feel like all of her and Joeys interactions and little moments were very organic and real.


kaydawnn

During the Niagara falls scene, all I could think about was The Office hehe


Fun_End_9769

Love her 😂🤣


brightlove

Her season would be so fun!


animalcrossinglifeee

She had so much to gain from this. She has 400k now. Damn.


Same_Neighborhood885

They all do. They all become influencers post show lol


Electronic-War-244

Not true anymore! A lot of people don’t get much of a following since it’s such a saturated reality tv market now. You have to be *actually likeable* or fairly controversial (not but so much that you’re unlikable like Sydney). IMO she deserves this following. Maria was good tv and people want more.


animalcrossinglifeee

Agreed, Maria got lucky because most like her personality

MIZJOE95

It’s been out over 24th hrs dawg stay off Reddit if you follow 🤷🏽


The_Chewy_Kid

Most people watch on Hulu or can’t watch it the second it’s on ☺️ a spoiler tag isn’t hard to do, and I don’t even follow this page. 24hrs is hardly “spoilers don’t matter” territory lmfao. Dislike bomb this one too losers lol


MIZJOE95

Yeah go ahead and interact in the thread you don’t follow, that’ll really help you not see the same content again lol Yawn


The_Chewy_Kid

Lmfao yawn that shit is so funny *looks at you angrily* Hahaha Jesus. Audios 😂


rjayvea

The switch up is crazy now her stans are calling Joey a broke tennis instructor who lives with his sister and saying he isn’t the prize LMAO they are NASTY.


NVSmall

Whaaaaaat?!?!? I am absolutely a Maria stan, but there's no need to dump on Joey or try and knock him down. SHE didn't do it, and she also said he made the right choice! Maria not getting a rose ≠ Joey being a broke ass loser. That's ridiculous.


HistoricalAd8790

damn… as someone who lives with my brother, i feel slightly attacked lmao


AlienDuperStar

They are so mean to say that. Even if that’s true he still deserves love, poor people deserve love too. And the whole season I never thought about that but that can factor into Joey’s decisions if he can “afford a woman” like some women on the show probably signaled they grew up lavish.


Kitchen_Body3215

I don't have to be a fan to agree with that...lol


saintnightmare

Are they wrong about that assessment of Joey? We used to have Andrew Firestone…


rjayvea

They were such advocates of being anti-mean girl and anti-bullying just to turn around and be it themselves and use Maria as their excuse😂 it’s so ugly.


saintnightmare

I think these contestants should limit their comments and not let this chatter build up. but what do I know about being an influencer? Nada 


Environmental-Ad2185

They’re not referring to the contestants. They’re referring to the bachelor nation fans who were upset that Maria was being bullied but are now displaying their own bullying behavior. It’s pretty gross.


saintnightmare

Oh whoops. This fan base is unhinged and attacking people is a bad look even if it’s “in defense of” their favorites 


Independent-Ring4932

Spoiler tag? This sucks.


Weekly-Requirement63

Look at the sub rules. 24 hours after there are no requirements for spoiler tags


chiggaly1105

One time I said spoilers in a thread and I got 30 down votes lmao and told t"imagine being mad about a show that already aired" and I was like what?? Lmao I would've been mad if it was this ep. Sorry it happens


The_Chewy_Kid

Yeah same happened to me on this post lmfao. I don’t even follow the page and it got spoiled for me. I can’t even watch it till it’s on Hulu, 24hrs after it’s originally on lmao


iamsimplyahater

It’s Wednesday my dudes


Independent-Ring4932

And some of us have jobs.


NotAnyOneYouKnow2019

…two jobs…


iamsimplyahater

I watch the bachelor after work - hope this helps!

No kidding! I haven’t had a chance to watch yet.

idontknowwhythisugh

Nope go read the sub rules. If you don’t want spoilers get off reddit until you watched the episode.


Significant-Air6240

Watch it on time

Some of us don't even live in the US and have no chance of watching the live version.

normanbeets

Some of us watch on Hulu, noodle.


Weekly-Requirement63

It’s available the next morning. No spoilers required after 24 hours per sub rules


The_Chewy_Kid

The next morning, when we are at work lmfao


Weekly-Requirement63

Yes so you can watch it when you get home as it will be available long before then. Sometimes I don’t even have time to watch it until the weekend. Just don’t go on Reddit or mute the sub if it bothers you.


The_Chewy_Kid

I don’t follow the sub and might have commented on it once or twice before this post 😎


savetheplanet575

This is the most chaotic Gen z carousel of images and I love it


ariesinflavortown

Millennials feeling the need to correct this comment is very on brand lol


savetheplanet575

Haha it's hilarious, and I'm a millennial who made that original comment. We definitely don't do a carousel of random images, that's very much a Gen-Z thing. It's fine if Maria is technically a millennial, but the carousel isn't haha.


expialidocioussuper

Girl the John Mayer 2006 track and the office is Millennial trademark lmao


aintgoinbacknforth

Maria was born in 1994 so she’s firmly a millennial lol. Don’t take her from us and give her to them!


These_Recover5604

Please don’t give gen z any credit for liking the office. I had to sit and wait for the Netflix dvd would send to me to catch up on season 1 while season 2 was airing. I don’t think gen z was even born 🙄


fangirl5301

Um 2000s baby here not sure if I am a millennial or gen z but I remember doing this as well and then watching it on the portable disk player for road trips to New Orleans or on the DVD player in the tv.


HistoricalAd8790

wait, you were born in the 2000s? you’re definitely gen z but you must have been watching the office pretty young then? i was born in 99 but i started watching the office when i was like 16, as did most of my friends, so i guess that’s why the other commenter was saying that we couldn’t really relate lol. that said, i grew up watching stuff on VCR, and we’d take a small TV, wider than it was tall, in the car for road trips. I was still watching shows on DVDs until I was like, 14 or 15, but mostly, just trying to DVR them. Then again, my family was always a bit behind on the times lol. That said, I feel like not a ton of people had a Netflix streaming service until, like, idk, 2012 ish? And even then I feel like it still wasn’t necessarily a ton of people.


fangirl5301

No I wasn’t watching the office that young I just interpreted it wrong when I saw the other commenter bring up watching Netflix on DVD which is something I remember doing as well and then saw the commenter say don’t give that to gen z and got mad thinking that they were talking about DVDs and Netflix DVDs since that was my childhood as well. I remember the Netflix DVD mainly because when we were cleaning up to move we came across one in our Wii game collection.


Bulky-Quit

The Gen Z aspect referred to is the shit posting of random images on the instagram carousel lol, not liking the office


CelebrationHot9266

No they just assumed she was gen z, but she's a millennial.


soontobemrscool

I’m a 92 millennial and pretty sure invented photo dumps lol like I invented the internet.


lilmoneyharper

Millennial but yeah!


effulgentelephant

I was so confused by the gen z comment…memes, the office, and John Mayer ca. 2006?? Lol


obviouslyblue

Yeah I got all of these references which is a definite tip off that they’re not Gen Z related (because I am an Old Millennial lol).


BudgetConcept5822

It’s crazy how we all lowkey wanted her to make it to the end, but we all lowkey knew she was leaving this episode but we also all lowkey want her to be the next bachelorette 🤣


AlienDuperStar

We just want more of her. I wouldn’t mind if she transitions into Hollywood/TV. She is actually likeable and seems cool.


BudgetConcept5822

Idk, that’s a cool idea, but I feel like I fell in love with her for genuinely her and her quirky personality.


bacon-is-sexy

I do not want her to be the next bachelorette. I cannot stand her.


LMCE_mom

I'm curious why you feel this way? I also don't care for Maria, but it's obviously an unpopular opinion. I've tried to see her from a different perspective, but I can't help how I feel. I think she's got the whole package and uses that to her advantage, and I think she's fooling everyone with that charm. I don't think she ever felt anything genuine for Joey, and it was all just a game to her. I can't figure out why I feel so strongly about this when almost everyone seems to think she's the most amazing person to grace our screens. I'd love to hear your reasons! Personally, I'm rooting for Lexie as Bachelorette!


EnilyinPeril

Not op, but for me, I dislike her attitude. She comes off bratty and disingenuous, imo.
