As tonight’s episode will no doubt remind us, Clayton Echard’s season of “The Bachelor” turned into a terrible nightmare as he had date nights with Gabby and Rachel, swore he loved them, and Susie Evans too, even though Susie had Said he couldn’t see staying on the show if Clayton had slept with Gabby and Rachel and told them he loved them.
The mess escalated when Clayton initially sent Susie home and later told Gabby and Rachel that he was really in love with Susie. Ultimately, Clayton apologized for his behavior, and he and Susie got together, though, in typical “Bachelor” fashion, we’ll see how long it lasts.
Gabby and Rachel made no secret of how used and hurt they felt by Clayton’s mistreatment. So now, being the first ever “Bachelorette” duo and facing their own date night choices, don’t be surprised to see more tears fall.
Here’s what ABC’s episode 9 description says: “The heat is on when single women arrive in beautiful Mexico! Ready to see their last three men for the first time from their hometowns, the ladies toast love and set off for a week of boats, beaches and next-level romance. In the first part of date night week, Gabby takes a leap of faith with Erich and sets sail with Johnny while Rachel hits the deck with Aven and takes charge with Tino, but their dates will deepen their relationships, or will it be the heat of the week? beach be enough to separate them?”
Rachel’s three men are Aven, 28, a sales executive from San Diego, California; Tino, 28, a general contractor from Playa Del Rey, California; and Zach, 25, a technology executive from Anaheim Hills, California.
