Here’s What Teddi REFUSED To Do on Paradise
The Bachelor Nation and the contestants were left confused when Teddi Wright made a shocking exit from Bachelor in Paradise.
Teddi’s unannounced exit came after she started to have some reservations about Andrew Spencer.
Just when Teddi started to have some doubts in her relationship with Andrew, Rodney Matthews showed up on the beach with a date card.
Rodney was a contestant that Teddi had an interest in meeting, and it appeared that the interest was mutual.
Teddi then broke it off with Andrew after her conversation with Rodney.
“I feel so bad i just want to go now,” she told producers. “I’m just not [finding love] so I wanna go. I’m not going in there and doing a big goodbye with everyone.”
“I came here to meet Andrew and it didn’t work, so now I want to go,” Teddi said after packing her bags. “I want to get married and I want to have kids and I want to love someone. I want to be affectionate with them. But I just don’t think it’s going to happen here now.”
So, then what made her leave the show?
Apparently, the producers of the show were pushing Teddi to stay with Andrew till the end and had other plans for Rodney.
Teddi didn’t want to force a connection just for the show and decided to stand up for herself and quit.
“I definitely want to get to know Rodney. … I think I am concerned about Andrew. Sometimes I think I’m not as affectionate as he would want me to be or as affectionate as I am in other relationships,” Teddi said. “And I think Rodney getting here has made that clear to me, so I have been feeling kind of bad about that. I’m just really confused.”
Wells Adams shared the news with Serene about Teddi’s sudden exit.
“I didn’t think she was going to leave. I’m telling you straight right now. I was trying but didn’t want to smother her,” Andrew says crying. “I really botched that dude, I’m reeling man. It hurts because I tried. I knew it didn’t fit, but I really wanted it to.”
“I’ve just been dumped,” Andrew said. “I wanted it to work so badly. But she wasn’t really feeling it. There was something there. I know it’s there. I was trying to make it blossom, stoke the fire a little bit. It just didn’t catch.”
“I want it just as bad as you,” Andrew tells Teddi. “I feel like you’re going to make me better. … [But] I don’t want to force nothing.”
Teddi took to social media to indirectly address the whole situation with an Instagram post.
In her post, Teddi said she was proud of learning two things. One was sticking to her boundaries when people in authority tried to cross them. The other was, “leaving environments that are cruel to me.”
Bachelor Alum Kendall Long commented saying, “Love that you escaped a toxic situation before it became much worse. Lessons to live by.”
After a Bachelor fan asked Kendall why the show was so “toxic,” she replied: “Honestly, just have to go on the show to know fully.”
Another fan commented saying ‘She finally stood up to the producers and we’re so proud of her.’
Teddi’s Instagram post hinted that she left because of production!
When Rodney Matthews was asked how he felt about Teddi’s sudden exit, he said it shocked him and his true reaction aired on the show.
However he also added that, “I’m so grateful for the experience as a whole and I’m glad that I went.”
