On Monday, February 24, "The Bachelor" had its Fantasy Suites episode and as always, there was drama. The most drama came from front-runner Madison Prewett after discussing her concerns about Fantasy Suite week.
She told Peter about her beliefs and that she didn't feel comfortable accepting a proposal from him if he slept with someone else six days before. She made sure to let him know that she wasn't judging him, and she understands that he has been sexually active before meeting her. After Peter told her that he did have sex during a Fantasy Suite date, Madison excused herself and walked away from Peter.
Many fans were quick to point a resemblance to Bachelor Nation villain Luke Parker. Luke P. competed for Hannah Brown's love and was most known for his religious beliefs. After being possessive and rude for most of the season, Hannah Brown finally sent Luke packing during the Fantasy Suites after he judged her for having sex with another contestant.
Madison should not be compared to such an awful guy like Luke P. just because they have the same religious beliefs. Unlike Luke, she is respectful toward Peter and the other women on her season. She cares for Peter, but she cares more about the beliefs that she has had since she was younger.
Many people have blamed double standards for the praise that Madi is getting. But Madi wasn't being a jerk about her beliefs like Luke. While Madi excused herself from the situation, Luke P. stayed and preached to Hannah Brown about her decision to have sex after she told him to leave many times. He even asked to pray over Hannah, which is completely disrespectful. He also interrupted a rose ceremony to "get clarity."
Peter is also mostly in the blame for the situation that he's in. Peter didn't have to have sex with the other two girls if he loved Madi and knew she was the one. On Colton's season, he only had sex with Cassie because he planned on ending up with her. It was Peter's choice to have sex because I truly don't think he knows what he wants, and I don't think he has known throughout this season.
Madison Prewett has been the best part of Pilot Peter's dramatic season, and she has been a breath of fresh air compared to all the other women that have competed for Peter's heart. I will not let this season's gem be dragged into this nonsense all because she is looking for respect and is standing up for her beliefs in a thoughtful way.
