The Bachelor: Predicting which contestants will get themselves eliminated over a feud

After #ChampagneGate, can Hannah Ann or Kelsey recover?

Week 2 of The Bachelor delivered an iconic feud, as contestants Kelsey and Hannah Ann had a blowout disagreement over a mistakenly opened bottle of champagne. The fallout from #ChampagneGate could be felt for weeks, and if the Week 3 preview is any indication, this feud isn’t close to being over.

The Bachelor is a show about the feuds between contestants as much as it’s about dating, and there are always a few cast members each season who see their journey for love derailed by a petty disagreement. Last fall, supervillain Luke P. seemingly contributed to nearly half the cast being eliminated, and it didn’t take very long for fights to break out between the members of Peter’s cast. Which of Peter’s cast members are destined for a drama-related elimination? FTW Bachelor analysts Steven Ruiz, Marissa Kasner and Nick Schwartz made their predictions ahead of episode 3.

Steven: Hannah Ann doomed herself by telling on Kelsey

I think it’s pretty obvious that Hannah Ann is going to win this little showdown with Kelsey, but will it be worth it? I don’t think so. Obviously, Kelsey needed the attention – it didn’t seem like she was getting a lot of it from Peter before the beef started – but Hannah Ann had plenty of it. Do these little squabbles ever turn out good for people? She could have easily separated herself from it but decided to lean into the beef by accusing Kelsey of bullying her. This won’t end well for either party, but Hannah Ann actually had a chance to go far. I don’t know if that’s true anymore. At least she got some free champagne out of it. – Steven Ruiz

Marissa: Tammy’s upcoming blowout fight is a bad omen

It seems foolish to think the Hannah Ann vs. Kelsey drama is over… yet the previews lead me to believe both of them are around for more than just one more week.  It’s possible they take the Hannah B – Caelynn approach and avoid each other all together, but no doubt Kelsey exits before Hannah Ann. Yet, I predict that’s not Hannah Ann’s last feud.

I believe Sydney is the one talking here about the “pretty little princess” manipulating Peter, and I’m quite certain there was an occasion Week 2 where Hannah Ann was referred to as a “pretty princess” – so I feel safe speculating Sydney is talking about the winner of the Revolve closet (Hannah Ann).

THEN, I’m pretty sure it’s Hannah Ann’s voice we hear talking about how she’s realized she’s “in love with Peter, but if he sleeps with any body else, it’s going to be hard for her to continue to move forward.”

This leads to imagery of Sydney & Peter in a hot spring and voice over suspecting they had sex – cut to Sydney saying “shut the [expletive] up” and our fabulous narrator Tammy responding with a solid, “you shut the [expletive] up.”

Tammy, you came out of nowhere; stop getting involved in other people’s drama!

If Peter did just have sex with Sydney, no doubt Tammy suffers the exit in this situation (sad, but see you in Paradise!).

Predicting it now: a Hannah Ann and Sydney two-on-one.  And maybe by the time that rolls around, I’ll hope one of them gets to stay. – Marissa Kasner

Nick: Mykenna is clearly on a path to Paradise fame

There are several women who clearly aren’t going to last very long this season (Kelsey and Victoria F. lead that pack), but if I had to choose any one contestant who might not be here for the right reasons, it would likely be Mykenna, the 22-year old from Canada who has been incredibly aggressive over the first two weeks and earned a ton of camera time in the process.

She’s already clashed with Kelsey and only escaped her eternal wrath because Hannah Ann caused #ChampagneGate, but if she continues playing the game with the same strategy, she’s inevitably going to make a few enemies along the way. She has the potential to be a Paradise legend, though, and she’s an absolute lock to be spending her summer in Sayulita. – Nick Schwartz
