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

Me too! That would be great!

Is it the norm to have 2 SHV locations ?

i don't really buy that theory because there have been other f1s that production would've wanted for lead but they didn't try and sabotage... emily maynard being the most obvious one but josh murray (at the time) and jordan rodgers too imo. they could've either had another success story with clayton/susie or offered her a future season once they broke up like emily if they wanted her THAT badly.

They did try to sabotage Brad and Emily but it didn't work. They just got her after the break up.

I tend to think that they do sabotage some and not others. I think they did it to Hannah too , I think they wanted Tyler for bachelor and filled Hannha's head that he was a player.(but Tyler turned them down and I believe it was more then once). I saw it with Allie, Andi , Arie and probably more but I can't think of them at the moment. I see the same thing now with Susie. jmo

My intuition must be off because I thought she was there to make it far enough to be bachelorette because that was her m.o. I don't know if I buy she was in love with Clayton (maybe she talked herself into it/bachelor bubble/ excitement of the chase and competition), but maybe she didn't want to be the bachelorette after all.

They don't strike me as fame seekers, so if they're together, it's probably because they developed genuine feelings for each other.

IF they're together at the AFTR, it would behoove TPTB to give the fans what they want- clips of their love budding. They owe us that at least!
