It's a turbulent week 2 for Peter Weber on The Bachelor. The episode picks up right where he and ex-"ish" Hannah B. left off: trying to figure out their feelings for each other.
With a ton of potential Mrs. Webers waiting in the wings, and Hannah still on the fence, she and Peter say their goodbyes. But Hannah B.'s two-part meltdown is just the beginning. It wouldn't be an episode of The Bachelor without roses, catfights, serious makeout sessions, blatant product placement and a whole lot of tears. With so many women left and only so much of Peter to go around, freakouts are inevitable. Here's a ranking of week 2's emotional meltdowns.
Natasha Gets Salty
None of the ladies are happy when Peter blows off the group date, but one bachelorette is very vocal about her disappointment -- Natasha. It's Natasha who calls Peter out for canceling their date. Natasha isn't scared or sad, she's p****d. "It was really frustrating because we're trying to give this person a chance, but is he trying to give us a chance? And it didn't seem like it because you 'gon cancel a date with these people? The f***ing nerve. The f***ing nerve."
Speak it, Natasha! It's obvious Natasha, 31, is the only one of the bunch mature enough to know she deserves better and demand it.
Kelsey Confronts Mykenna
With so many women left, there will inevitably be multiple meltdowns every week, but Week 2 drama revolves around three women: Kelsey, Victoria F., and Hannah Ann. Kelsey is the winner hands down, and she gets things going early during the elimination cocktail party. Kelsey sets up a little spot for her and Peter that includes a bottle of champagne she's been saving for a special occasion. She even lugged it from Des Moines to share it with pilot Pete.
But Kelsey must not be a fan of the show because she believes time with the Bachelor is allotted fairly and evenly. When Mykenna swoops in and gets to Peter first, Kelsey calls the 22-year-old out for being "disrespectful" and a "snake." It's on overreaction, and any number of the other girls could make the same argument to stake their claim.
Champagne Gate Part 1
Kelsey puts a lot of pressure on herself and a bottle of bubbly when it comes to winning Peter's heart. Never leave booze just hanging around the mansion because champagne is as abundant as hair extensions. When Hannah Ann and Peter come across Kelsey's romantic set up, they assume it's the work of producers (or magic mice). They pop the cork, not realizing this will send Kelsey into a tailspin.
She sobs to the other girls, to the producers, to anyone who will listen that her time was taken from her, twice. There's the requisite trip to the bathroom before Kelsey regroups and comes out hot with her sights set on Hannah Ann. It's debatable if Hannah Ann knew or not, but Kelsey's anger seems super misdirected, especially when another bottle shows up, proving this was more likely a mix up than sabotage.
Champagne Gate Part 2
Kelsey gets her time with Peter, but the mood is spoiled. Hannah Ann comes to Kelsey to plead her case, and Kelsey doesn't want to hear it. Hannah Ann may very well be shady, but she makes/fakes an effort to call a truce. Kelsey responds by calling Hannah Ann "fake" and "calculated."
Either Hannah Ann is a mastermind on gaslighting her fellow contestants, or this whole thing is just an overblown comedy of errors. Kelsey goes entirely off the rails, and any sympathy she may have elicited vanishes when she goes mean girl on Hannah Ann, even resorting to using the word "b**ch."
Victoria F.'s Fake Crisis Of Confidence
Kelsey almost steals the entire show with her hysterics, but Victoria F. gives the clothier a run for her money. Victoria F. who works in sales and as a model tries to portray herself as "meek" and "shy." Honey, ain't nobody buying whatever it is you're selling. So for the big Revolve fashion show, it's all about whether Victoria F. will be able to come out of her shell. Janice Dickinson's facelift is more convincing.
A producer gives Victoria F. the needed cues to continue portraying herself as a shrinking violet, and she even dissolves into tears. Who comes to her aid? Kelsey who is the last person anyone should be taking advice from. But Victoria F. manages to somehow pull herself together to walk the runway.
Victoria F. Proves She's A Sore Loser
Despite Victoria F.'s pre-fashion show jitters, she manages to slay it. Not only does she walk the runway, she is one of the two finalists. The winner gets thousands of dollars worth of free swag from Revolve. She brings her A-game, strutting around in lingerie and even pulling Peter onto the runway to smooch. She even admits "I feel noticed."
But when it comes to going head-to-head against frontrunner Hannah Ann, Victoria lands in second place. Like any meek young lady, she storms off and throws a tantrum, insisting Peter can be with Hannah Ann and that she's done. If only...
Victoria F.'s Pity Party
Victoria F. doesn't get enough attention during the fashion, strutting around in booty shorts and lingerie and pulling Peter up on stage. Even after Peter tells Victoria how much she killed it during the runway competition, she is determined to ride this whole wallflower thing until the wheels fall off.
Her performance is flawless; it's as if she even believes it. She wipes away invisible tears and questions if it's worth her mental health to remain on the show. Something tells me it's the other women who should be worried about Victoria F.'s emotional and mental stability.
Kelsey's Response To The Bully Accusation
When Kelsey returns from her alone time with Peter after the group date, she's confident they're in a good place. This is all it takes for Hannah Ann to decide she feels she's been bullied by the champagne-obsessed blonde. Everything Hannah Ann tells Peter is the truth: Kelsey says horrible things in the heat of the moment. But there isn't a pattern going on here. Bullying is now the go-to word for anyone to use when there's an argument.
Peter confronts Kelsey who doesn't deny there is a mutual dislike between herself and Hannah Ann, but she is genuinely shocked to hear the B-word thrown around. This is a woman who loses her mind with very little provocation, so Peter's scolding means more waterworks for Kelsey. She insists she takes her character seriously, but if that was the case, she would have kept her pinky up and her language clean during her Hannah Ann smackdown.
Peter's Long Goodbye To Hannah B.
The ladies don't have the market cornered on emotional meltdowns. Following his intense conversation with Hannah B., Peter questions what it's going to take to get over his ex. It's a chicken-egg scenario: will falling for someone new put the Hannah B. chapter behind him, or will he have to move on completely before finding love.
This is deep stuff for Peter to wrap his head around which means he needs a group date time out. It's a lose-lose situation since the girls don't get to impress Peter with their past sexual exploits, and fans miss out on the embarrassing exercise as well. Seeing the former potential Mrs. Weber shakes Peter up pretty badly.
Hannah B. Second Guesses Her First Choice
After being overly involved in Peter's season, Hannah B. realizes watching her ex move on isn't as easy as she thought it would be. She understandably regrets giving her heart to someone as undeserving as Jed Wyatt. Let's face it, watching Tyler rebound with Gigi Hadid and Peter go on to be the Bachelor has to be tough on the former Bachelorette.
Hannah's still conflicted, and Peter rightfully wants someone who is all in and not just wondering what might have been. In the end, the show must go on... without Hannah, but her two-part, almost game-changing meltdown earns the top spot.
