By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 02/18/2019

Cassie Randolph and Kirpa Sudick apparently go head-to-head in the next The Bachelor episode as both ladies are trying to win a rose from Colton Underwood ahead of hometown dates.

In a preview clip for the next episode released by ABC, Cassie and Kirpa get into a heated argument during an outdoorsy group date in Denver, CO, after Kirpa apparently expressed her concerns Cassie may not be on the show for the right reasons to Colton.

Kirpa apparently relayed some startling information about Cassie she had heard from Katie Morton, who got eliminated by Colton during last week's Season 23 episode of The Bachelor.

"If Katie felt strongly enough to tell Colton people still aren't here for the right reasons or they're not ready [for marriage], she wouldn't have made that up," Kirpa tells Cassie after speaking with Colton.

As Katie was shown revealing to Colton in the previous episode, she believed several women left in the running for his heart weren't ready for a serious commitment.

Colton had also been warned by two other women during his week of dates in Vietnam to not get distracted by "shiny things" and fun vibes.

"Why would you go and spend your time with Colton talking about me?" Cassie asks in the ABC clip.

"I think he needs to know all the facts!" Kirpa admits.

"A lie?!" Cassie yells.

"It's not a lie," insists Kirpa, who is hoping to make it to the Final 2 with her best friend on the show, Tayshia Adams.

"It is a lie," Cassie argues. "I'm telling you right now."

Kirpa then explains to Cassie in the video clip, "Katie told the girls -- and if you have a problem with it, then you need to call Katie up and talk to her about it... [Colton] says he trusts Katie, and if he trusts Katie..."

Cassie interjects by saying, "whatever," repeatedly, which then leads Kirpa to say, "You don't have anything to back it up, and it's so strange."

"You don't have anything to back it up!" Cassie argues. "This is just so dumb to me because it's so not true."

After Kirpa points out her concerns are not flippant, she says, "It's not a dumb situation when Colton's heart is on the line! It's not okay!"

"Exactly, so why are you bringing up things that aren't true?!" Cassie yells.

"He asked, 'Hey, what's your take on this?' And I told him," Kirpa recalls.

"This all reeks of desperation to me," Cassie notes, before telling the cameras after her conversation with Kirpa, "It's either true or it's not true. It's not your opinion! Like, in my opinion, you're an idiot!"

The Bachelor's next episode is set to air on Monday, February 18 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC, and only seven women remain in the competition.
