Bachelor 26 - Clayton Echard - Mar 14 - 15 - Finale - ATFR - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Sprite wrote:I cannot imagine this ending well. No matter how it ends, if he is with someone or not, I can't see it being a happy ending. I just can't. If by some convoluted miracle they twist him into ending with someone, I don't see it lasting. He isn't ready for it and I think he has burned too many bridges with the ladies.

I want to know if his parents know at that point that he told Susie he had already slept with the other two? I like his dad way more than Clayton.

From a new promo I saw it seems he tells them and about Susie. I had said I didn't think it will work out but I don't know. I can see he really loves Susie with that I hope it does. I glad to see he knows where to go when you're in trouble. Church

Let’s take a moment to enjoy the fac5 that we aren’t fighting over who we each want for F1….there’s that about this season.

I can’t wait to watch the finale. I am sorry that many people have been hurt this season but will at least admit I am curious to see how this all goes down.

I say he’s with no one and that Teddi is the Bachelorette

I'm looking forward to the finale too, it's funny I sure didn't want him as the bachelor but he's grown on me even with his behavior. I'm a sucker for a person in love. My heart aches to see the love of his life walk out on him. I understand Susie reasons too.

I hate to be cynical, but I seriously doubt Susie is the love of his life. If she was, he wouldn't have slept with everyone he got a chance with and then made it seem her fault. He also wouldn't have admitted that if they had gone to FS and slept together, if they "weren't sexually compatible", he would have dropped her and gone back to Gabby or Rachel. If that's love I wouldn't want any part of it and I sure hope none of them do either. I think he just wants what he can't have.

Wait so it’s possible that Rachel is introduced to his parents and given a rose at the rose ceremony with intentions of him possibly choosing her by default but then he dumped her when Susie comes back? That’s so wrong!

Anything is possible. I sure hope that isn't what happens because people will really turn on him then.

I'll revolt if that's what happens! She'd really deserve to be bachelorette then!

Do you remember when Sarah was making the other women feel that her relationship with Clayton had progressed to the point where there was no more hope for them? And some of them were thinking about going home (IIRC, Rachel was one of them, and that is what caused Clayton to call it quits with Sarah. He wasn't going to take that chance.)

Well, *none* of the F3 had an inkling that Clayton had said, "I love you" to the other two. They really had no idea of the standing of the other relationships. Each woman had a strong reason to feel that in fact, she was Clayton's F1. So it must have been a shock to them to discover that Clayton said, "I love you" to all three of them. That he slept with his first two fantasy suite partners, and would have slept with the third if she had allowed it.

I can't even imagine how they felt watching back the season. They were all blindsided.

Re the bold. It's hard for me to speculate that one of them would try and made it work but since there is so many tabloids and SM saying he's single, and he says no one has guessed correct, I'm holding out hope for a happy ending.

Maybe he pulls a "Pilot Pete" and ends up dating someone further down the elimination order than the F3.
