Maria ‘The Bachelor’ 2024: Her journey so far
Maria has not had an easy journey during this season of “The Bachelor.”
The 29-year-old executive assistant from Ontario had a conflict with contestant Sydney Gordon, who got sent home during a two-on-one date in Episode 4 when Joey said his connection was stronger with Maria.
Following Sydney leaving, her friends Jess and Lea started to argue with Maria, calling her names and not wanting the other contestants to be nice to her.
It got so bad that Maria debated leaving at the end of Episode 4 due to feeling left out and it affecting her mental health. She powered through in time to get a one-on-one date with Joey in Canada during Episode 6.
In Montreal, she was treated to a limo ride with Joey, a shopping spree, a helicopter ride and a serenade with live music at the end of the night.
That same week Jess and Lea got sent home.
During Episode 7, viewers saw Maria being more vulnerable with Joey and sharing how much it hurt to see him have strong connections with the other women. She was looking for some reassurance from him before heading into hometowns, which Joey did not do a great job at providing.
So, what happens to Maria this week? How will Joey’s conversation with Maria’s father Nick Georgas go? Will she get sent home or finally reach her breaking point and leave the show?
