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

Welcome to Week 5 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 5!

Okay, let’s talk…

Unfortunately, I feel like we’re constantly talking about certain stories and things that come up that involve, none other than, the resident evil herself, Shanae. This week, she was at it again. She put up. yet another complete and utter bulls*** apology, but this time, to the other ladies in the house.

Unfortunately, once again, just a few people ‘accepted’ her apology, while most of the other girls just kinda brushed it off, sensing all of the BS that was just leaking out of Shanae’s mouth and pores. Shanae puts on fake tears, fake apologies, and fake legit everything and anything else. Hopefully, whenever she goes home, the girls have a part to celebrate her demise (on the show)!

#1: Genevieve

As long as Genevieve’s on the show and doesn’t turn into an s-word (A.K.A. a Shanae), which just isn’t humanly possible for her, she’ll always be on this list. She is constantly standing up against Shanae and getting in her face (virtually, in her mind, albeit) to put her in her place.

There is absolutely no reason for her to have been chosen for this whole two-on-one situation; if he (Clayton) really cared and wanted to attempt to squash at least some of the drama in the house, then he really should’ve put Elizabeth on this date last week or two weeks ago instead.

Genevieve, I wish you the best of luck on this two-on-one. Another reason she has landed herself a place on the ‘Heroes’ side of the list this week, is just because, although she has put Shanae in her place, she really hasn’t gotten all ugly with all of this drama, but handled it with pure and utter grace and class. You go, girl!

Oh, Gabby, the resident Catfish (based on this photo above). Anyways…in all honesty, she has definitely become a brand new front-runner for me personally. I don’t know how far she’ll make it (I usually don’t read Reality Steve’s spoilers all that much, especially these last few seasons); however, I really like her.

This week, I would call her heroic because she really dished out some pretty hard and difficult-to-talk-about family drama to Clayton. She opened up, she cried, and just, all in all, I’m here for her, and so is all of America (those with hearts of course). Gabby, I wish you the best of luck and healing. Whatever happens, girl, you’ve seriously got this!
