Guess what’s back, back, back, back again, Bachelorette‘s coming back, tell a friend.
With just tone sure to-be-dramatic-and-emotionally-traumatizing episode of Clayton Echard‘s season of The Bachelor, there are three questions on everyone’s minds: Why does Clayton love wearing hoodies under a blazer so much? Who will he end up with, if anyone? And, of course, who will be our next Bachelorette?
Heading into the finale, Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey are technically Clayton’s final two, though the Bachelor is determined to win back Susie Evans after her shocking exit last week. With things still up in the air and the 28-year-old former football player continuing to keep the flame of this dumpster-fire ablaze, all three women are being considered to become Bachelor Nation‘s next lead, a choice the ABC franchise is not taking lightly.
“Producers are feeling the pressure to make the best decision,” a source told E! News, adding that “they are being very careful” and wanted to see how the audience reacted in the final weeks of the season, including last night’s “rose ceremony from hell.” (Who can forget when Greg Grippo was reportedly in contention to be the next Bachelor before the overwhelmingly negative response to his breakup with Katie Thurston during season 17 promptly ended those conversations?)
