Bachelor 26 - Clayton Echard - F1-F6 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Bring this all over in one thread. So now what? It sounds like he'll be gone awhile? I'm not sure if his brother Nate lives in the same unit that needs a lease take over, mom's wording can be taken both ways. Nate lives in Arizona but not in the same unit, or Nate lives in Arizona in the same unit that needs the lease take over and Clayton is joining him.

Options,
F1 moves to Arizona? but if the brother is living in the same unit, I can't see that happening.
F1 lives near Arizona? Hard to tell by the bio's and most of them have hometown cities.
F1 lives/moves to LA where they will both eventually end up and they'll do long distance which is a long drive?

Other scenarios?

Rachel is in Orlando

Gabby lives in California as per IG post https://www.instagram.com/p/CTGf5nrHTGw/
Looking through her IG I'm changing my mind on her being F1

Susie, Virginia Beach. Looking through her IG she's cute as are her posts. Family, and not all about herself. She's the one who unfollowed Clayton, correct? Is she the one Dean unfollowed?

I’ll miss living right down the street from you

I wonder if he's moving or if it's his friend that's moving.

It might be a sign he plans on selling the condo so he doesn't have two expenses while he's living at his brother's place, and also to be near his F1? Now that I think of it, I'll have to look at which state and see if any of the speculated F3 live near the new place.

That snake is gross.

my opinion: he's going to move to either orlando or virginia beach (i don't think gabby is f1) once he and either rachel or susie can be public, and covering his brother's lease allows him to put his condo on the market sooner so he can move asap. i'm not sure when his brother's lease is up but if he's planning to move to arizona permanently then i hope it's something he and f1 have already agreed upon and he's not just doing his own thing and expecting her to figure it out like katie did to blake.

i'm starting to lean towards susie as f1. she's so excited in all her posts about the show and rachel is the complete opposite.

@ariwolf right. Hard to know because we don't know how long the lease is. Mom says she's happy to have new locations to visit, that's why I though a few months for sure? Maybe after the season finishes airing the timing will work out, the lease will be done and he and the F1 can move together somewhere. jmo's

I too am leaning towards Susie as the F1. Frantically looking for clues!

Rachel is starting to promo the show but it’s all in her stories like Bri from Matt James season. Even Teddi who hasn’t acknowledge the show until Monday posted something on her grid. I found it interesting Rachel posted her highlight stories of the she in what she titled her California highlights. All her highlights are titled after places she visited though so I could be reaching.

Susie is the one not really interacting with the other women. Both Gabby and Rachel and a good 1/3 of the contestants followed Melina’s horse IG account and she hasn’t. Of course it could be she wasn’t close with Melina. Rachel followed Sarah on tiktok and while Susie has followed a lot of the contestants from the past no follows for her season although we have her friends interacting with Gabby.

Gabby was quiet after Christmas till yesterday but since Clayton was moving it really means nothing. I don’t think she won either (unless she can hide shvs better than anyone ever which I doubt).

Just some things I notice on social media.

12/30
susie is still in virginia beach and is at the gym as of 20 minutes ago.

nothing from rachel, gabby or clayton yet today but clayton will most likely be leaving for LA either today or tomorrow for the new year’s day float.

ETA: rachel posted a story at portillo’s. they have a location in orlando so i assume it’s that one.

I think the New Year’s Eve float is NYC. If remember right they usually have the bachelor on for ABC New Years rockin Eve special which is NYC

I know previous bachelors went to NYC on NYE, Ben Arie and they do media in NYC but I went back to find the tweet and it says Rose Parade. There's only one Rose Parade on New Years Day isn't there?

ETA sorry posted at the same time. I'm confused. why would they have a float at the mansion?

Sorry, its right in the article.

The new Bachelor Clayton will be on the float, joined by the Season 26 host and former Bachelor Jesse Palmer.

There may also be some other familiar Bachelor Nation fans appearing on the float. Only time will tell!

If you want to see the Bachelor Nation float, make sure to tune in to the Rose Parade at 8 a.m. PST on January 1, 2022.

And Clayton’s season premieres just two days later at 8 p.m. EST on ABC!

@ariwolf I think they meant on the steps of the mansion that is the float in the parade...not at the actual mansion.

Will the Parade be in NYC? As well as Clayton appearing on NYE for ABC?

 that makes more sense.

the rose parade is in pasadena anyway so still the LA area.
