Peter Weber has plenty of great girls left vying for his heart on The Bachelor, but for some reason, in Episode 3, the only woman he could focus on was Alayah Benavidez. The former Miss Texas 2019 made a splash with the other women when it was revealed that she might have a “manipulative” side to her — leaving the pilot with no other choice but to send her home.
But just as she stepped foot outside the mansion, the 28-year-old regretted his decision, saying he felt pressured by the others who had negative things to say about her. In the promo clip for Episode 4, we see that the brunette beauty makes an unexpected return to the mansion, and fans are now wondering if she’s back for good.
“I’m here to set the record straight about what’s being said about me,” she tells him in the promo.
