The Bachelor Season 26 does not have a new episode tonight, folks. I know, I know, you were dying to know where the journey of Clayton Echard is taking him next. But, alas, you will have to hang on until next week to see what happens next.

After last week’s madness, I think we all welcome this week off to gather our thoughts. It was chaotic, to say the least, but hey, at least we got to see Hilary Duff! In case you forgot what happened, all the contestants were asked to help organize a young girl’s birthday party. Clayton loves kids so naturally, this was the best way the production felt they could gauge everyone else’s interest in kids.

It was clear that there was one contestant in particular that did not want anything to do with the kids. And she was very vocal about it that the kids were even aware of her indifference towards. I’m talking about none other than Cassidy who literally just wanted to be locking lips with Clayton the entire time while everyone else helped out.

Cassidy’s shenanigans were just the start of the drama, but we’ll let you guys watch the episode (or read our analyses) to find out what happened.

Why is there no new episode of The Bachelor tonight?

ABC is giving The Bachelor’s time slot to the first-ever Monday night NFL playoff game. It will be the Arizona Cardinals against the Los Angeles Rams, so all eyes will be on what promises to be one heck of a game.

I’m sure football fans are ecstatic and if you aren’t, well you can always rewatch last week’s episode or just take this week off to catch up on life. Either way, we’ll see you next week!

Next. Is The Bachelor on tonight, Monday, January 17?. dark

Until next week, Bachelor Nation!
