Fans of The Bachelor believe that front runner Madison Prewett will exit the show after Peter Weber sleeps with another girl, leaving the Bachelor heartbroken. Based on trailers for next week’s episode, the theory certainly seems plausible.
At the very start of the season, Madison snagged the first one-on-one date, where she met all of Peter’s family at his parents’ vow renewal. Their interaction was sweet and straightforward, but it was quickly lost in the various ups-and-downs of the season. While Madison has hardly been on-camera, her every interaction with Peter seems sweet, genuine, and – most importantly – drama-free. Madison is the only woman who’s managed to stay out of the theatrics this season, meaning she hasn’t irritated any of the other women or any fans. On Monday night’s episode, she went on her second one-on-one date, where Peter admitted that he was falling in love with her. He hasn’t made that confession to any other women on the season, so it’s obvious his feelings for Madison are the strongest at this point in.
Unfortunately, it might not be smooth sailing for the couple. In a preview for the next episode, Madison reveals that Peter doesn’t yet know that she’s saving herself for marriage. While we don’t have much context for the statement, it’s likely rooted in her strong religious beliefs. However, it’s doesn’t exactly fit with Peter’s defining story of his wild night in a windmill with Hannah Brown. Although she’s aware of his sexual history, Madison also states in the trailer, “If he sleeps with anybody else, it’s going to be hard for me to continue to move forward.” In another clip, Peter can be heard in the background saying, “Six days prior, I was intimate with someone else.” The combined information has led fans to believe that the ending of Peter’s season involves Madison seeing herself out.
While what goes on during Fantasy Suite dates is private, it’s not uncommon for the Bachelor or Bachelorette to sleep with their final three contestants. To outline things in the simplest form, Madison clearly states that she can’t be with Peter if he sleeps with someone else, and he clearly states that he did sleep with someone else. It’s not tough to conclude that Madison might decide she can’t move forward with their relationship. Some fans even believe that Madison eliminates herself right before the final rose ceremony, leading to Peter’s teased breakdown while he’s holding an engagement ring. Fans also believe that Madison is the woman Peter’s mom is crying about and that she’s encouraging him to win Madison back after she leaves.
Since the end of the season isn’t yet spoiled, it’s safe to assume that something truly off-the-wall happens. Unfortunately, it’s hard to conclude just how far Madison’s “no-sex” policy extends based on one comment she made that was spliced into a trailer. Besides, the show is known for throwing fans off track with the trailers and turning benign comments into seemingly life-changing events. It’s hard to believe that they would give us everything we need to figure out the ending far before the ending even happens. While Madison’s decision is sure to play a role in how things play out, it’s probably not the defining moment of the season.
