Gasp: Did Peter Weber Give Victoria His Pilot Wings on ‘The Bachelor?’

*Warning: Spoilers ahead*

If you’re one of the many Bachelor fans who’s shocked that Peter Weber hasn’t sent Victoria F. packing yet, then the latest theory making its internet rounds may have left you apoplectic. Yes, some have been speculating that the 28-year-old pilot gave the 25-year-old Virginia Beach native his pilot wings following their fantasy suite encounter. After watching a season of them fighting and having awkward one-on-ones, this potential revelation probably left a lot of people yelling at their TVs.

In case you missed it, the moment in question transpired when Victoria hugged Weber goodbye after leaving the fantasy suite the next morning. There was a long, non-descript silver object in her hand that did admittedly look decently like a pair of pilot wings. Some thought it was a Juul (lol) and this editor weirdly thought it was a Swiss Army knife. Thankfully, former Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe set the record straight on Good Morning America and revealed exactly what Victoria was holding.

During a post-Bachelor chat with Sara Haines (watch the video above), Bristowe revealed that she “got to the bottom” of the Victoria mystery. The 34-year-old Off the Vine podcast host explained, “I went straight to the source. I messaged Victoria, slid into her DMs and I said, ‘What are you holding?’ and she said, “My hotel key.” Well, that’s pretty anticlimactic (unless she’s lying so as not to give away any spoilers…no, no).

As tried and true Bachelorette fans may remember, Weber famously gave Hannah Brown his pilot wings in season 15. It was quite the gesture, which would make him doing it again with another woman a little less special.

Now that we’ve cleared that up, we have a feeling Victoria will be heading home in 3…2…
