The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 11: Villains

#1: Claire

Oh. Boy. If Claire Heilig was around long enough she’d be the resident Victoria Larson this season; however, she’s gone, and let’s be honest with ourselves here: we’re super happy about that!

After getting interrupted with Mara butting into their little tailgate sort of mini-date/conversation, she seemed pissed already as it was; however, that was just the beginning of it. She went on to say that she ‘hated’ Clayton and that talking with him was boring and ‘sparkless’ (paraphrasing from what she actually said honestly). All in all, Claire is a trainwreck, and in all honesty, I’ve never been more surprised, yet happier to see someone go home…Night One! Way to go, Clayton, Way to go!

#2: Salley

Her placement on this list this week might shock most of you and cause a little bit of controversy; however, it has to be said in my personal opinion.

She should’ve never come on the show, and in all honesty, she should’ve just left without even seeing or saying ‘goodbye’ (or whatever that whole entire weird conversation/encounter was in the first place) to Clayton because it was just straight-up awkward in my personal opinion. Upon first glance, I thought that I was going to fall in love with her character and actions and whatnot, but now…?!

Sorry, girl. Maybe next time (but please no).
