‘The Bachelor’: Peter Begs Madison to Stay After Admitting He Was 'Intimate' With Others

A familiar conversation. Madison nearly reached her breaking point with Peter Weber as fantasy suites delivered trouble during the Monday, February 24, episode of The Bachelor. The outing picked up with Madison pulling aside Peter after the rose ceremony. “If next week you were to sleep with somebody else, it would be really hard for me to move forward in this,” she told him, as Peter expressed confusion over what exactly she meant. Madison did not want to specify an ultimatum, but Peter said her intentions were “not necessarily fair” to the other relationships he had with Hannah Ann and Victoria. Madison failed to mention that she was saving herself for marriage, so Peter left the conversation wondering about her motives, since she was the only woman who had not shared how she felt about him. The foursome then traveled to Australia for their fantasy suite dates. In a major shift from the norm, the three women stayed in the same hotel room during the week. (Find out why!) The change gave them an opportunity to not only discuss Madison’s “expectations” for Peter — which Hannah Ann and Victoria were not OK with — but also allowed them to compliment how “tan” and “skinny” they all looked. [sendtonews type="float" key="OtDiarasL2-3111763-14453"] During his date with Victoria, Peter finally gave viewers some insight into his connection with the controversial contestant. “The passion is 100 percent there,” he explained. “There’s obviously that fire. Some people might think it’s too much with her, but for me I’m actually really attracted to that. It’s never gonna be a boring relationship.” Elsewhere in the episode, Peter admitted that he was “in love” with all three women. Hannah Ann already shared her feelings with the Bachelor during hometown dates, while Victoria confessed she was in love with him the morning after their fantasy suite date. Madison, for her part, told only the cameras she was in love with Peter. However, Madison threatened to walk away from her relationship with Peter after he ignored her wishes regarding the fantasy suites. Scroll through for a breakdown of each of Peter’s dates — plus, where he stands with every woman heading into the finale.

Hannah Ann’s True Love

Peter and Hannah Ann had a fun day in Australia, riding Jet Skis during their date. He admitted that he was feeling “true love” with her, while she encouraged him to do what he needed to in the fantasy suites but spare her the details. She promised not to give up on their relationship, and Peter declared her the “most perfect woman” as they spent the night together in the fantasy suite.

Victoria and Peter Communicate

Before heading out on a helicopter ride, Peter addressed his hometowns drama with Victoria. He vowed to be on her side and wipe their slate clean. He didn’t want to look back on their past issues but knew they needed to have some important conversations.

Victoria claimed that a former relationship — in which her boyfriend never asked about her feelings — caused her to be defensive toward Peter. She said she didn’t feel good enough but froze up when Peter pressed her for more. Victoria began crying and Peter asked her again not to push him away. Peter felt the discussion was a “turning point” in their relationship and invited her to the fantasy suite, where they stayed the night together.

Peter noted that nothing had taken them down yet and he felt like they were in a good place after their date, which Victoria later called “productive.”

Madison Breaks Down

Madison was on edge all week as she waited for the final fantasy suite date. She and Peter climbed a building together, and she realized she was in love with him but still didn’t tell him.

At dinner, Madison and Peter had an honest conversation about her values and his actions with the other women. She told him about her virginity, which he respected. But he also reminded her he made different decisions for his life. She didn’t expect them to make the same vows before they met each other, but she wanted their expectations to be the same now.

Madison revealed that she could not accept a proposal if Peter had slept with the other women days earlier. She insisted that he tell her what happened during his dates with Hannah Ann and Victoria, pointing out that she had compromised many of her standards during the journey because she believed Peter was worth it.

“I have been intimate,” he confessed. Peter explained that he could see himself with Madison and the other women, which led her to walk away in tears. Madison was mad at Peter for defying her wishes. He apologized and told her he couldn’t lose her. She was unwilling to alter her values but she didn’t want to break up with him either; Peter begged her to stay. Madison left the date before the fantasy suite card was ever discussed.
