The finales of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are traditionally touted as being the “most dramatic” ones yet. But, this year’s finale actually may have lived up to that description. In a wild turn of events, Bachelor Clayton Echard shared his intentions of proposing to Susie Evans, who went home during a prior episode after the lead told her that he had been intimate with the other finalists, Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. Although, he didn’t receive the answer that he was looking for from Evans, who turned him down. Following the finale, fans flocked to social media to weigh in on all of the messy events.
Echard has come under a lot of fire for how he’s handled the final three contestants. Before proposing to Evans, he told Recchia and Windey that he was intimate with both of them. He also said that he loved them both, which threw a major spanner in the works. Still, the two did accept Echard’s roses and continued to date him. However, shortly after all of this went down, Echard shared that he still had stronger feelings for Evans. Ultimately, he decided that she was the one for him. But, Evans was not able to accept a proposal after everything that occurred with the other contestants.
