There were some red flags that Travis Kelce and Maya Benberry weren’t going to work out. In one episode of “Catching Kelce,” Kelce decided that Benberry was starting to feel a bit cocky, so he leaned down as if he was going to kiss her — only to leave her hanging with her mouth hanging open. He later explained the kinda messed-up reasoning behind his makeout fakeout. “Her confidence has gotten a little too high, and it’s getting pretty arrogant,” he said in a confessional (via E! News).
When it came time for Kelce to choose between the final two contestants, viewers learned why Benberry’s attitude bothered him so much. “I love your confidence, but at times it does get overconfident,” he told her (via E! News). “It kind of shows arrogance. I have been attracted to women like that my entire life, and those relationships didn’t work because of that. I don’t want that anymore.” At this point, it seemed as if Benberry’s only remaining competition, Veronica Harwood, was going to win. But this is reality TV we’re talking about, so Kelce had to come up with some reason to make the choice that viewers least expected. “I got to go with my heart,” he said.

Benberry believed that the personality trait Kelce kept complaining about actually gave her an edge over the competition. “Realistically, Minorities never win things like ‘Catching Kelce’ and my confidence is what kept me around,” she told Sarah Scoop.
