Gabi Elnicki from The Bachelor season 27 defended herself after deleting Instagram comments from her post after the latest episode aired. Gabi is one of the three remaining girls in Zach Shallcross’ season of the show. With the finale airing next week, the drama is escalating and anticipation is building about who Zach ends up choosing.

The Bachelor's Gabi Elnicki posted a selfie in a cowgirl hat with the caption “Haw yee!” and it had a second photo where she was posing with friends at the annual Houston Rodeo. Gabi's post was made just before the fantasy suite episode aired, and once it had, viewers came into the comment section of Gabi’s post with all of their opinions.

Someone called her out for deleting some of the comments and Gabi replied, saying, “I am, because I don’t need negativity and hate on my page. It’s so unnecessary and unkind.” The reality star continued to say, “There is NO reason to put others down, get off my page if you don’t like me.”

Zach Shallcross Was Wishy-Washy In His Decisions As The Bachelor

In the most recent episode of The Bachelor, Zach took the final three ladies to Thailand where they each had the iconic fantasy suite date. In many previews leading up to this episode, Zach was shown discussing how he didn’t want to have sex with any of the women during these dates. He expressed this to The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer, along with all the women. However, Zach did end up admitting to Jesse that on his second date, which was with Gabi, they did have sex. Fans had mixed reactions to Zach making this decision and some chose to comment on Gabi’s latest Instagram post about it.

While viewers have mixed feelings about the entire scenario, the overall consensus is that Zach should have just kept more things private. His announcement that he was not going to have sex with any of the women should have been private with each one, because once he went back on that pledge, that’s what caused the controversy. Some comments were accusing Gabi of pressuring Zach into sex, but it was clear, based on the show, that that’s not what happened, he just changed his mind. Zach is certainly allowed to do so, but he could have gone about the whole thing in a more respectful manner to the other women.

Many viewers believe this means that Gabi is going to be given the final rose in next week’s finale episode of The Bachelor, but everyone will just have to wait and see if it is her or Kaity Biggar who ends up winning, since they are the final two women. After a season with Zach shutting down most of the drama swiftly, this is a pretty chaotic end to his reign as the lead of The Bachelor, with broken promises from him and even more tension created between the final two women standing.
