Zoe McGrady has been at the center of controversy throughout the season, and the latest episode of The Bachelor was no different. During a group date, tensions escalated as she expressed frustration over the way she was being treated by the other women.
Zoe has already earned the title of "villain" among viewers after repeatedly taking extra time with The Bachelor lead, Grant Ellis. During a recent group date, she once again made herself the center of attention, leading to backlash from fans and contestants alike.
Despite having already spent significant time with Grant, Zoe became emotional at the cocktail party, claiming she felt left out. Her tears didn’t sit well with the other contestants, who felt she was exaggerating the situation.

As the night progressed, Zoe became further upset when she overheard Sarafiena Watkins commenting on her dress. "That's the shortest dress I've ever seen," Sarafiena remarked. Zoe, feeling hurt, immediately turned to Grant to complain about the situation.
Yes Zoe, you’re SUCH a “girl’s girl”, always monopolizing his time, playing the constant victim and trying to make this the Zoe show ???? and your dress IS too short. #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/BK5W9Y5uhp
