After displaying a great quality of character during night one of The Bachelor, Lea Cayanan ultimately received the coveted First Impression Rose from the handsome Joey Graziadei, however, their relationship appears to have gone downhill as of late.
With just ten women remaining, Lea has unfortunately started to fade into the background when it comes to her connection with Joey, failing to receive a date during episode 2, and embarking on only group dates since then. Becoming a mean girl in episodes 4 and 5 — consistently berating Maria Georgas for simply letting her spunky side shine — Lea has become the root of all of the drama in Sydney Gordon‘s absence, leaving fans of The Bachelor franchise to assume that she is not the perfect match for the tennis professional (no pun intended).
