Why Did Beverly Ortega Leave Early?

The Bachelor has been filled with a lot of drama just a few episodes in. There are crying girls and some who are ready to fight each other. In the February 10th episode, Zoe McGrady cried to Grant Ellis after she heard someone say her dress was too short. She was so hurt but really, she wanted private time and sympathy from Grant. He ended up telling all of the ladies that they had to treat each other with kindness. The following day, all of the remaining women were bawling their eyes out over being disciplined by him.

They knew it all stemmed from Zoe and all they wanted was to be her friend. However, she was making it virtually impossible. Grant then went on a Las Vegas date with Carolina Sofía where she confessed that she had epilepsy and has had it since she was seventeen. He told her that did not bother him and he would take care of her no matter what. Back at the house, it was revealed that Beverly Ortega had been sick and unfortunately, she had been sent home. That was a problem because she was supposed to go on a date with Grant.

What Happens Next?

Grant Ellis will have one less person to eliminate for this episode now that Beverly Ortega is gone. However, he never addressed her exit or commented on whether or not he cared if she left. It is unclear what Grant’s feelings for Beverly were or if he would have kept her around for another week. Now, that decision is out of his hands and he can go on with the show. The final two have already been revealed by Reality Steve but it seems that this was a very hard decision. Will Grant walk down the aisle with one of these ladies or change his mind at the last minute?
