Clayton Echard & Susie Evans - Bachelor 26 - Discussion

I just listened to the podcast above. Becca of all people should know that alot of what Clayton did like breaking up with the two of them at the same time was producer driven, Becca should know that the producers made him go and tell the world that he was intimate with both of them. I doubt very much that Clayton wanted to rob them or himself of the privacy in the fantasy suites. IMO it was def producer drive because they did to others. This is TPTB MO and they do it in different ways. it's really sickening , all of the past leads know the deal but yet none of them admit it, must be something in the contracts that forbid them to give the behind the scenes of the manipulation away. jmo

If you listened to Blake H and even Arie (he just started commmenting) on their respective IG, Blake H. is not pro Bachelor and he confirms there is a lot of production driven suggestions. So happy that it worked out for Clayton and Susie. They are real people with real feelings and emotions. A cross-road trip is just the thing to do!

Becca is a host of a Bachelor Franchise affiliated podcast and host of Bachelor Live on stage -- a Bachelor Franchise affiliated live performance show. There is no way Becca is going to be critical of anything the producers do. Her livelihood depends on it.

I see that Neil Lane has to get a mention even though there was no engagement this season. Maybe it's time for them to end the show's collaboration with him, so engagement wouldn't be the "end goal" anymore. JMO.

I listened to the Susie part of Nick’s podcast. Here’s some tidbits:

She slid into his DMs while at Newark Airport on her way hom from Iceland. Gave him her number if he needed/wanted talk. He called that night and they talked for 5 hours.

The spoke every day for up to 5 hours. He was very honest with her about all that had gone on during the show. Around the time of the premiere, Susie asked Clayton to be her boyfriend after she shared a relationship concern of hers (that she’d always had) and he answered it in a way that made her feel he really loved her.

She picked up waitressing job during the filming to support her while she pursued her career goal (didn’t mention the wedding videography business). She sometimes worked on Monday nights and they would have the show on in the background and it sounded like no one knew who she was. It was a great distraction for episodes that were tougher to watch.

One of the more attractive rings, IMO.

@luvstx Thanks for the interview recap. I love that she was humble and got to work right away. Very grounded. I think that bodes well for their future.

I'll definitely listen to at least one of their interviews but did watch the one on GMA. They seem happy and they're doing the right thing by not trying to keep it long distance for too long. Clayton definitely made mistakes with all of the f3 but sometimes you have to accept, try to improve, and then move on.
