Raise your hand if you're ready for marriage
Photo: John Medland/ABC On last night’s episode of The Bachelor, Clayton finally dispensed with this season’s villain, Shanae, on a two-on-one date overlooking Niagara Falls with her nemesis, Genevieve. For all the buildup to this moment the producers insisted on giving us, the expulsion itself was quick and easy: We barely even saw Shanae freak out afterward.
That’s how Mara, who, at 32, is this season’s oldest contestant, puts it during the aforementioned group date. After Clayton leaves Shanae in Toronto, the remaining ladies travel to Hvar, Croatia , to explore the city’s old fortresses. Clayton takes Teddi on a one-on-one date, during which she confesses to him that she’s a virgin . Susie surprises him with a declaration of “falling in love” at the clock tower.
Before his one-on-one date with Sarah, Clayton quickly huddles with host Jesse Palmer who encourages him to “get answers” from Sarah about her willingness to commit. And so, like the natural conversationalist he is, Clayton brings up Mara’s accusation right away, prompting Sarah to burst into tears. At this, Clayton walks away to “clear his head,” a.k.a. ask the producers what he should do.
