It’s the return of Bachelor Monday! Yes, that’s right! After one week away, we’re returning to the world of drama, love, and heartbreak on The Bachelor Season 26. Clayton Echard and his contestants will continue to figure out where their love stories are headed.

It’s tough to say who or rather if anyone is going to be walking away with Clayton at the end of this, but it is still early days. We will be three weeks in now, and with some weeks still ahead, anything can happen.

If you’re asking me, I am going to predict that Clayton leaves with no one when all is said and done at the end of the season. It just doesn’t feel like things are building up that way with any of the contestants. We’ll stay tuned to see how Clayton’s journey ends, but as of now, I’m going with the notion that he’s leaving the show single.
