The Bachelor Season 26 is chugging right along as we get ready for the third week of Clayton Echard’s love story. It’s been quite an interesting couple of episodes already with the “villains” of the season making themselves known.

The second week was a bit brutal, in particular, because there were a lot of verbal attacks, condescending remarks about mental health, and just a hot mess all over. I don’t know why this type of conversation constitutes as good television or even drama. Why doesn’t the production get that we love drama but not when it attacks someone’s mental health? That’s totally unnecessary.

I’m hoping that as the season progresses they do a better job with this, but I’m definitely not going to keep my hopes up. We’ve seen time and time that the production lives for this stuff, and sadly, it comes at the expense of people’s personal lives and mental stability.

Sigh, maybe one day things will get better.

Is The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 3 airing tonight?

It is in fact not. The show is taking a week off due to the NFL playoffs. In fact, the NFL is doing its first-ever Monday night playoff game so it is definitely going to be quite a night. All you Cardinals and Rams fans, get ready for a night of wild football!

And as for you Bachelor Nation, take this week to gather your thoughts and enjoy the time off. Sometimes shows like The Bachelor are a bit much to watch so time away is always a welcome change!

See you all next week!

Next. The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 2: Heroes and Villains. dark

You can watch the episode on ABC or with FuboTV (which offers a free trial to watch all episodes of The Bachelor franchise live!).
