Bachelor 26 - Clayton Echard - Mar 14 - 15 - Finale - ATFR - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Four more nights of this insanity.

The fact that it's a two nighter tells me there was a break up or a switch or something unusual. I looked through the archives quickly and Arie Peter both had two nighters, Nick and Matt didn't.

I still think whatever happened they will be filming an update soon like Arie/Becca.

I also think they'll announce the new ette on the second night probably with some of the guys showing up?

I predict that he originally wants Rachel, messes it up, they all go home, and then over the winter realizes it's Susie he wants and goes after her. You have something there...with the 2 nighter...it indicates a real whopper of an ending.

Sounds like a good theory!

I love Arie and Lauren, so it worked out. Becca was awesome and great in Paradise.

If Clayton follows that trope, it'd be Clayton choosing Rachel and then realizing his "reach", the one who leaves early because of the madness, is the one. I suspect we'll see being pursued "IRL" and in the present.

Trust me, I want Rachel to be the one because I like her the most with him, so maybe I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the ending that I don't want.

AT this point I'll be surprised if he even has a F1 at the end of this mess. jmo

I’m hoping there is no switch as next 2/3 ep for the women will be emotionally traumatic without post filming drama. Was rachel in LA end of Jan? Imo post show sm Susie more likely to be with Clayton.

I feel like the way it's spoiled to end doesn't make for the beginnings of a beautiful engagement. I hope that all F3 are happy and have moved on from this fiasco. When Susie heard Clayton is in love with her, I really think she didn't know what to say... maybe she thought she wasn't F1 and was okay with that. I believe she was on there to be the bachelorette...nice girl, but the chemistry hasn't been there at all from her end. I do appreciate that she was super clear with him about her standards and what she wants from a relationship. However, she's on the Bachelor. Come on...what did she think was going to happen? Which makes me think she's using this to push him away.

Agreed! You would think if Susie was really in love with him, she would give him another shot to at least date in the real world to see where it goes… but The Bachelorette gig is a better idea I guess.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I personally never thought she was that into him and was just aiming to stay long enough to be in a good position for the next bette.

I wonder if she was the one that we heard got coaching to make it far?

It appears that Gabby completely shut down realizing that what she fears most happens
