The Bachelorette Season 16: Best and worst moments of episode 2

By Julia Wagner

THE BACHELORETTE - "1602" - Clare left no doubt the first night that she knew what she was looking for and let the men know it! Nine eager suitors get the opportunity to impress Clare as they learn how to communicate through the languages of love. Jason is the lucky bachelor to go on the first one-on-one date, but will he reveal some dark secrets from his youth and still be able to gain Clare's acceptance? Then things turn really intense when 10 men show off something totally different - competing in a revealing game of dodgeball. Clare's explosive moment with one suitor leads to an immediate reaction. Another bachelor, uncomfortable with the dodgeball competition, plans to confront Clare about her behavior as the drama is ratcheted up from the very start of her journey on "The Bachelorette," TUESDAY, OCT. 20 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT), on ABC.

The Bachelorette Season 16 is off to an incredibly dramatic start, judging by last night’s best and worst moments!

Chris Harrison says it every year (and will say it again for The Bachelorette Season 16)–“This may be the most dramatic season ever!” Needless to say, fans of Bachelor Nation have learned to take this statement with a giant block of salt. However, one thing is generally true, no matter the season, the drama that does exist comes chiefly from the contestants. The lead is generally the mediator, the welcome relief from the endless contestant interactions.

This week’s episode proved that the same cannot be said for The Bachelorette Season 16. It may be the first time in years that the lead herself, for better or worse, is the chief source of drama. Coming into this season, after years of having Clare on our screens, we all knew a few things about our lead–she is emotional, wears her heart on her sleeve, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. This week, we got to see how these qualities come into play in the tense environment that is the Bachelor bubble, and one thing is for sure–in terms of drama, the episode did not disappoint.

Without further ado, let’s get to some of the best and worst moments from this week’s episode of The Bachelorette Season 16!

Disclaimer: I do love this show and I do love Clare. But I’m afraid I had more “worst moments” than “best moments.” Fair warning!
