This week’s episode of The Bachelor Season 26 had its fair share of heroes and villains!

Welcome to Week 4 of The Bachelor Season 26! No matter how you look at it, I truly believe that brand new leading man, the Bachelor himself, Clayton Echard, will do a fantastic job, despite whatever the media is saying and speculating about him.

Be sure to let us know down in the comments about your thoughts on week 4!

*In case you haven’t seen The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 4 yet, there may be some spoilers ahead, so beware!*

Okay, let’s talk……

This week, as we’ve seen for the past few (let’s be honest, since episode one, really), we saw Shanae at her (not really fine) finest. She continues to manipulate Clayton. At first, I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt; however, at this point, I really hope that she does make it far and that he does regret it.

At this point, he deserves a little kick in the balls; in fact, I hope he is at home watching episode after episode, week after week, kicking himself for letting her stick around (especially over Elizabeth this week).

In addition, Shanae, conversation after conversation, continues to lie (although on her side, Elizabeth was in the hot tub that day, that’s not all too important over here) straight to Clayton’s face. She needs someone to do that back to her now. Karma’s a b***h and it certainly is to a b***h as well. I smell paradise…… (but I really hope not).

We’ll see…

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 4: Heroes

#1: Genevieve

Genevieve certainly put Shanae in her place, as she rightfully should have. She barely knows Elizabeth through these past couple of weeks on the show; to me, that shows that she’s a good (future) friend of Elizabeth, willing to defend her even with such short notice.

All in all, although Genevieve does stand up for others and did put Shanae in her (rightful) place, I do think that she needs to slightly mind her own business and focus on her relationship with Clayton. The more she’s in someone else’s business, the more she’s not in her own.

#2:  Elizabeth

She, unfortunately, got sent home this week. In all honesty, Clayton should’ve just sent her home after that convo with him, Shanae, and Elizabeth from the beginning.

While she was getting lied to, manipulated by, and on top of it all, made fun of by Shanae, she was also very whiney and started to get on my (and my dad’s nerves as well) towards the end. Sorry!
