"God forbid you're not sure about a man you've been on one date with," Carolina captioned a clip from the show.
In the clip, The Bachelor bachelorette Rose Sombke announces to other women during a group date in Spain, "I can't help but be grateful just for even being here."
"It's mixed emotions," Carolina says in reply, "just because, like, I had a great time on our one-on-one [in Las Vegas], but I still don't feel like I know him."
Juliana Pasquarosa then complains in a confessional, "Sometimes I just can't believe Carolina. To hear her be so iffy about the opportunity that you had to date Grant...."
Carolina proceeded to share supportive messages she had seen on social media after the drama played out on The Bachelor.
"Why are the other girls acting like it's crazy that Carolina isn't head over heels for Grant on week 4," one person wrote.
Another fan questioned, "Wait, why are we shocked that the entire day becomes about Carolina when all of the girls have put so much energy into disliking her, talking about her and starting drama with her?"
On The Bachelor's latest Season 29 episode, which had filmed in Madrid, Carolina appeared to be stuck in her head about the future, even though she had thoroughly enjoyed a romantic solo date with Grant in Las Vegas days earlier.
"It's almost like how do you get engaged after one date essentially? I really like him but I also still barely know the guy," Carolina told her fellow bachelorettes during the matador group date.

Juliana vented to the cameras about how Carolina was so "unappreciative" and it was really "unsettling" for her because she had yet to receive a one-on-one date or a group-date rose.
Juliana therefore confronted Carolina and said Carolina questioning her relationship with Grant left "such a sour taste" in everyone's mouth.
"You expressed your unsureness about this process still to this day. If I felt that unsure of who [Grant] was as an individual, I would be packing my bags and leaving," Juliana told Carolina.
"Okay. What's your question?" Carolina snapped.
Carolina insisted she wouldn't stay on The Bachelor if she didn't feel real potential with Grant.
"I feel potential right now," Carolina clarified, before adding, "I think he knows where I stand. I think he has no question that I'm here for him."
"I don't think that that's true," Juliana countered.
"I don't think I've ever asked for your opinion, really," Carolina clapped back. "I think it's very natural to have concerns having known someone for such a little amount of time."

Rose and fellow The Bachelor bachelorette Litia Garr both agreed that most of the women were feeling jealousy and resentment about the time Carolina had with Grant as well as her constant negativity.
"If you don't want my opinion, don't ask and I promise I won't share unprompted," Carolina announced.
"I think it sometimes comes unprompted," Juliana argued.
"Okay, well I think your opinions come unprompted, Juliana," Carolina quipped.
Carolina reiterated how she had genuine feelings for Grant and she was entitled to how she was feeling.
"I have never felt the way I feel about Grant in the short time I've known Grant... I'm thinking about introducing him to my parents and that's insane!" Carolina explained to the girls in tears.

When Grant returned to the group of women, he could tell that Carolina was crying, and so he pulled her aside for a chat.
The girls were frustrated Carolina was getting even more time with Grant, and Carolina ultimately threw Juliana under the bus for unfairly scolding her and questioning her intentions.
At the cocktail party preceding the fourth Rose Ceremony of the season, Grant pulled Juliana aside and asked her to share her side of the story.
Juliana explained how it was "astonishing to hear" someone sounding "ungrateful" and "unhappy" after being blessed with a one-on-one date with Grant when other women were still praying for that opportunity.
"Carolina had nothing positive to say about the date. It was nothing but negativity and judgement, I think, about you, and that was really hard for all of us to hear," Juliana told Grant.

"I'm so sorry," Juliana responded.
Juliana's allegation bothered Grant and damaged his perception of Carolina.
Grant confronted Carolina as a result, and Carolina explained how it was natural to have doubts because they had just met and she was taking the process very seriously.
"I don't want to mess this up or have a proposal that I'm not ready for. But it's not because I don't want this to end in a proposal. I just want us to figure it out before it gets to that point, and I thought we were good," Carolina told Grant.
Grant assured Carolina that while they were, in fact, good, he wanted her to come straight to him with her concerns or worries because he was trying to find his wife and he was giving each and every relationship 100 percent of his heart and effort.
Carolina ended up receiving the last available rose at the Rose Ceremony in Madrid.
