[dizzyd]

Again, why is this 2 days?

[Lamb18]

So we can look forward.to Rachel pulling a Mesnick.

[DEL901]

The Rose Ceremony From Hell?  Can’t wait. 

[EllenB]

Jesse, shut up about it shaking the world when there's people being killed in Ukraine (and other places in the world.

[dizzyd]

Lmao, the music is hilarious to set up this most dramatic episode.

[DEL901]

He’s gone to church?   He is so flicking biddable.  The producers must have had a party behind the scenes.  Whatever they suggest, he goes along with it.  Time to go to church and show your suffering.  

[Lamb18]

So is this a private concert?

"I'm so broken!" Clayton smirks.

[EllenB]

I'd bet anything that church scene was done way after the fact to try to redeem Crummy Clay!-un's wrecked reputation. 

[DEL901]

“Well, Gabby and Rachel still want roses and to meet your parents”.   Okay then, time to move on.  Maybe one of them won’t mind I love and had sex with everyone.  

And we’ve been seeing all season how his confession goes over.

Don’t think even God can help ya now!

“What we’re about to see is going to rock Bachelor Nation and all of America down to its core. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will prepare you for what’s about to go down,” warns Jesse. Harrison spent 20 years telling us that every finale was going to be the most dramatic in Bachelor History, and now there is not enough hyperbole left to wind us up. So instead, they bring in a slightly unsettling church choir to let us know only God—or perhaps Satan—himself can deliver Clayton through to ATFR.

[Lamb18]

Gabby will say "Ugh I'm Rachel's sloppy seconds!"

[Daisy]

so I'm confused. (this is like the first time I've watched this show). 
This guy is betrayed and shook up and has no idea what to do because this Susie person would be with him but because he slept with two other people that wasn't for her, but he's mad that this Susie person told him to explore relationships with others... but didn't say "well you can't sleep with them?"

Why would you sleep with other people if you knew you loved this Susie? (and he's saying he loves the other girls too? So if he loves the others... why is he so upset?)

[DEL901]

So, #1 has dumped me. Who is up for being second choice?

He is upset because he thought he could have his cake and eat it too.  He said in an interview that since the women were okay with him kissing the others that they’d be okay with this…. It never occurred to the doofus that although there has been s3x with multiple finalists before, no one has gone around telling everyone the6 loved them with makes the lady assume she is #1.

He is upset because after sleeping with Rachel and Gabby, he realizes he loves Susie the most!

And she didn't agree that sleeping with two other women earlier in the week was an appropriate sign of true love from Clayton 

Jesse asks Rachel if she's nervous about tonight. His thought bubble adds, "She better be!"

[DEL901]

LOL, Rachel is right.   Susie left, but not for the reason she thinks.  
 

eta.  I’m shattered and in pieces because Susie isn’t here.

Does this bronze dress fit Gabby better than that purple dress?

[DEL901]

He didn’t mention he told Susie he loved her best.

He never tells the whole truth until it's dragged out of him.

[Lamb18]

Rachel and Gabby: "I'm in a nightmare and it's being shown on TV!"

No, the bronze dress does not fit better.

[Daisy]

This girl sobbing is making me sad. Sorry blonde girl. 
He's not worth that sobbing. 

[dizzyd]

The acoustics of this place are pretty good. Anyone know where that is?

does this mean that she was like his final girl?

Or filmed and they watch it on tv.  Tomorrow’s ATFR is going to be fun. 

[Lamb18]

He wanted her to be.

[Amy Beth]

OMG, you’d think he’d at least know who his second choice was. But nope, he’ll take whichever one is willing to put up with the situation. 

[DEL901]

Just now, Daisy said:

He implied she was, but he sent her away last week, so she’s out of consideration. 

[FlyingEgret]

Wait... weren't all three staying in the same suite??? Isnt that we had all those awkward post-coital meetings??? But they didnt know she had left???

[Lamb18]

I feel sad for Rachel and Gabby.

[EllenB]

This season needs a barf reaction emoji.

[Lamb18]

Looks like the weather today in my neighborhood.

[JenE4]

I thought just walking up that steep flight of steps was what made it the rose ceremony from hell, but it got worse. Clayton’s all, whelp, do what you need to do. {shrug} He’ll just take whichever one doesn’t run off. The fact that ALL THREE are having the same reaction to finding out he told all of them he loves them, you think he’ll have some insight that this is HIS fault and regret sending Susie home for expressing her emotions? The echoing crying while Jesse arrives is everything!

[DEL901]

I just can’t imagine what Clayton’s life is like now.  This finished filming in November.  He’s been waiting all this time for it to air, planning his response strategy and yet…other that the Apology/Personal Growth tour,…. Wonder what his friends and coworkers and customers think?

Edited March 15, 2022 by DEL901

[Daisy]

Wait what?
this happened because you opened up and became vulnerable?

No duckling, this happened because you wanted to put your pen in their inkpots by saying you loved them.

It needed one weeks ago.

Love that the sound technicians amplified the mics on both women so their crying would be broadcast through the entire echo-y building. Nice job show.

[DEL901]

“I know this hurt them, but they deserved to know” ….. because if I don’t tell them and and they see it on tv, I’m a deadman.

He said this all happened because he opened up.  He is actually confusing being open with someone with the chaos he created by being an idiot. 

[nlkm9]

Gabby still aggravates the hell out of me. I still think both of them were so over the moon that he said he lived thwm, not knowing he said it to all 3. That is incredibly hurtful. And they still dont know he told susie he loved her the best . Ugh.

[EarlGreyTea]

Rachel's echoing sobs were moving for me. I'm not made of stone! Whomever scouted this location (and the acoustics) deserves a prize.

[Daisy]

So it's a given if you are in this fantasy suite you have sex?
but these guys are upset over it? (is it the i love you?)

Not a given. Depends on the season.

[FlyingEgret]

Gabby's "yeah..." was The. Best.

[alexa]

It is who I love the most?  This guy is so clueless.  He says this like people should be thrilled.  Moron.

[JenE4]

I am dying over these picture-in-picture audience reactions. No one is buying the “If I pick you, it means I love you the most” explanation.

[EllenB]

Yay, Gabby! Hope she said F.U.

[Lamb18]

Why don't any ask him how he would feel if the woman he wanted to marry -- oh Gabby just asked it and he had no answer!
