The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 5: Villains

#1: Shanae

Always a candidate and a shoo-in to be on this uglier side of the list. As if we didn’t know this already, this week, Shanae just continued to prove to us that she is the worst person to ever be in The Bachelor in franchise history. There is absolutely nothing attractive about her, whether we’re talking about her appearance, her attitude, or the way that she continues to manipulate and treat other people around her (P.S. I just can’t imagine how she treats all of the behind-the-scenes people and crewmates who also actually work on the show).

Honey, you’re never going to win any sort of acting awards. While they do give it to actors and actresses, they give it (typically) to people who actually deserve one, and you don’t.

#2: Clayton

Yes, we’re talking about the leading man, over here. Unfortunately, we can no longer feel sorry for him. We have to treat him how we treat everyone else. He has continuously failed to realize just how toxic and ugly Shanae is and how she has manipulated, made fun of people’s mental conditions, and so so much more to just about anyone and everyone in this house.

Dear Clayton,

Get. Your. Head. In. The. Game. I have seen multiple articles where you’ve apologized for not seeing things sooner and for essentially condoning this sort of behavior from one woman to the rest of the house. However, it’s too little too late. You’ve had so many chances to get rid of the rat, and yet, in week five, she’s still here squeaking her little ratty self along the way. Do better. Open your eyes. And I promise the world will stand behind you. Thank you for apologizing and realizing things now. Part of me still feels sorry for you, but the other mean and sadistic dark side of me is happy that you’re squirming and hate watching this back. Still love you, though! Doing eh so far!
