BIP Alum Reacts To Maria Georgas’s Elimination

Mari Pepin knows that finding love in Bachelor Nation can take several tries. Viewers first met her on Season 25 of The Bachelor. She only made it a few weeks before Matt James sent her home after not feeling a connection.

However, Mari didn’t give up on love. She returned for Season 7 of Bachelor In Paradise and quickly found a connection with Kenny Braasch, who was on the rebound from Clare Crawley‘s season of The Bachelorette. Mari and Kenny were among the first Season 7 couples to share a kiss.

Unlike co-stars Becca Kufrin and Thomas Jacobs, Mari and Kenny’s BIP love story ended in a proposal. During Season 9, the couple returned for a beachside wedding.

Mari Pepin is more than just a Bachelor Nation alum, though. She’s a regular viewer of the show, including Season 28 of The Bachelor. Joey Graziadei is just a few episodes away from offering his final rose and possibly an engagement ring to one lucky woman. His final three are Rachel Nance, Daisy Kent, and Kelsey Anderson.

However, if it were up to Mari, another woman would still be in the running. During an interview with Daily Express US, she shared her surprise that Maria Georgas didn’t make it to the final three. Maria was eliminated in fourth place after the hometown dates.

“I’m shocked that Maria isn’t in there,” Mari said about the eliminated contestant. She added, “I’m happy with who we have left, they all seem like great girls.” But is she really? She threw some shade at fan-favorite Daisy Kent.

Daisy Kent has a lot of fans, though some of them are turning against her. She might not want to consider Mari Pepin an ally, though. According to Mari, Daisy Kent just isn’t the right one for Joey Graziadei.

“[Daisy] seems more to herself and I think Joey…seems to be a bit more lively and energetic,” Mari said about the couple. She continued, “I don’t know if they mesh well in that sense.”

So who does Mari think meshes well with Joey? Kelsey Anderon. The BIP alum shared, “I think of the three [women left]…I like him with Kelsey the best.”

Do you agree with Mari’s opinion that Joey and Daisy don’t mesh in the real world? Share your thoughts in the comments.

  1. I 100 percent agree with Mari Pepin ,I really feel none of the three women left are right for Joey. I know that the perfect women for Joey is Maria. I am quite aware she was sent home after the home towns, but it is not to late for Joey to stop being afraid of rejection and come to his senses and speak up and say he wants Maria back because she is the women for me . Say sorry to the other three but he has to follow his ❤️ and Maria is his heart. If Joey ever gets to read this ,I want him to realize that watching him with Mari was magical, he acted the most comfortable, happy and the way they both lite up when they were together was like no other couple I have ever seen and I have been watching faithfully since Ashley was the bachelorette and picked J.P. I am praying for a happy ending and that would be Joey and Maria getting engaged.
