  • On Monday's episode things got awkward when Peter Weber and contestant Victoria Fuller's one-on-one date included a private concert with country singer Chase Rice.

  • Chase says that he's "really pissed off" that he was dragged into the show's drama.


The latest Bachelor episode has already been all kinds of yikes thanks to the producers sending Peter Weber and contestant Victoria Fuller on a date to a private Chase Rice concert...who Victoria says is her "ex-boyfriend." The contestant was all kinds of uncomfortable during the date, and it turns out that Chase was also less than happy about the situation.

During an appearance on the Fitz in the Morning radio show, the country singer shared that he's "really pissed off" with how things went down. Why? Well, he was also surprised to see that he was giving a private concert to Victoria and her new love interest.

And it's not that he has any issues with Victoria—he clarified (via People), "We spent a night together in Charlotte, she’s a cool chick, from what I know of her. You know, I got no problem with her." However, he knew that she was going to be on the show and flagged it to his team. He says:

I told my manager and my publicist, they were like, ‘don’t even worry about that, they’re not going to do that to you, that’s a weird coincidence, but they’re not gonna — there’s no way they would do that to you. They’ve never brought somebody else in like that, surprised the guest on the show.'

But, surprise—the show did set it up in a way to make drama, which is what Chase is upset about. He says that he was "pretty surprised" that he ended up in the situation, and adds, "the fact they did that to me, it’s over the top, it’s unnecessary, I didn’t expect it."

Were you surprised that Bachelor producers set it up that way?
