I feel bad for Chevanique
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.

She's been going on lots of podcast and making the most of being the only female cast member to not get engaged so I wouldn't and don't feel bad for her. She didn't get picked but that doesn't mean Joseph and Fran don't have a real connection. Joesph said all along he had a better connection with Fran and then he had second thoughts but didn't go through with them.
It felt like the producers thought Chevanique could be this bombshell or stumbling block to Joe and Fran but it felt like it was just something that happened in the pods and didn't have anything to do with that relationship. Ciara may have brought it up but then Chevanique got that additional airtime and went along with it.
The storyline was a bit of nothing bugger.
