The 27-year-old Los Angeles native has milked every second of her time on screen, solidifying her place as one of the most aggravating villains in the show’s recent history. This title is fitting due to the fact that according to her Instagram, she goes by “Vikki”, fitting in with other pop culture villains of the Icky and twin-swapping type, not to mention last season’s double-hitter of the difficult Victorias P. and F. (Is the name cursed?)
Victoria the villain
What was originally perceived to be a persona put on for her entrance—Queen Victoria, comes in on a throne, ha ha, get it?—quickly lost its gleam, with the audience and her fellow contestants realizing this was less of a persona and more of her actual…way of being. “I think that’s actually her, which is even scarier,” Anna Redman commented, just as horrified as the rest of us. She’s been described as “off-putting”, and last week’s episode left off on a cliffhanger after Victoria accused roommate Marylynn Sienna of “toxic” behavior, and Marylynn having to defend herself in response to Victoria’s unfounded accusations. Remember—Victoria started slinging around accusations the girls were “fake” on day two, and couldn’t back up her accusations of Marylynn despite only knowing her roughly four days. And the fact that a lot of her microaggressions are geared toward the Black women and women of color at Nemacolin during the series’ first season with a Black lead, uh…it doesn’t look good for Victoria.
So, when does Victoria get eliminated on The Bachelor 2021?
Well, here’s a piece of good news: She doesn’t make the final four contestants, so you don’t have to worry about an entire season of her nonsense. The bad news: We don’t know how long she lasts on the show. Matt’s has denied accusations Victoria is a “producer pick,” or someone Matt isn’t interested in but the production team keeps around for the drama factor, but what we do know? She’s around at least through week three—last week’s cliffhanger results in both her and Marylynn getting roses despite Victoria’s machinations, according to Reality Steve. But don’t expect her to gain any kind of self-awareness of chill: Despite turning off comments on several of her Instagram photos, she’s still resharing any image of her on her Instagram story, and RS fully expects her to double-down on it all until her elimination: “And I doubt it’ll change the next few episodes either because she does not go home until I believe week 4 or 5. So don’t think this behavior is changing anytime soon.” Yikes! Next. get to know fan-favorite Abigail Heringer.
