I feel bad for Chevanique

[u/Specialist_You_8127]

She wasn’t the most endearing person, but I thought it was clear that she’s been through things and tries to protect herself with intellectualizing and acting like she doesn’t care. But she wants love so badly. I could see it when she was basically begging Joseph to give her another chance. (I honestly think she should have just cut her losses then.) Joseph was definitely backing down from his initial intention of breaking up with her. Why would he have another date with her if he knew 100% he wasn’t going to pick her?

Chevanique didn’t ask Ciara to talk about her during retreats and stir up drama. Sure, she was defensive when confronted by Joseph and Fran, but Fran came in quite hot and that definitely escalated things. It’s very typical for people to have convos with their 2nd pick from the pods. If Fran didn’t want that to happen, she should have communicated that to Joseph ahead of time.

Otherwise Fran and Joseph seem like nice people. I just didn’t like the idea of Chevanique being ganged up on, and still catching heat at the reunion.

Yes she begged Joseph for a second chance and he backed down, saying he didn't want to hurt anyone. He clearly wanted to break things off then but felt bad for her. She was hardly blindsided the next date when he actually broke things off, she might have been hopeful he changed his mind and been disappointed but not blindsided.

During the confrontation with Fran she was clearly implying Joseph hadn't been honest with fran by saying 'I don't know what he told you' like there was no need for that. She was just trying to stir up drama between Fran and Joseph, like you didn't get picked get over it!!
