Clayton Echard and his dwindling group of contestants continued their international journey this week on The Bachelor Season 26! The group headed to Vienna, Austria, and experienced shopping sprees, therapy, and multiple departures.

Let’s get to the best and worst moments of episode 7!

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 7: Worst moment: The therapist!

I thought couples therapy was a great idea for a date: the women each get one on one time, the conversations go deeper, and who couldn’t use a therapist in the Bachelor environment?

However, my excitement over the therapy ended when the therapist revealed someone in the groups was being “performative.” UGH.

I know this was obviously a producer idea (who knows if this person is even a therapist!) but it’s just such a bad look to have anyone resembling a therapist call a person performative when they cry (especially after a single meeting with cameras everywhere).

The therapy was funny in a way, just due to how ridiculous it was, but this was just in such poor taste! Poor, former therapy-loving Sarah will probably never trust a therapist again.

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 7: Best moment: Genevieve’s departure

I always feel relieved the moment a contestant (who we all know is going home) is finally set free.

And Genevieve handled this SO WELL! I’ve hardly ever seen a  contestant on The Bachelor handle this like she did. So mature.

She almost seemed to expect it when she said:

“Of course, I get that. I’ve taken a lot time to let my walls down… you have very strong connections that I think you can see meeting their families and I can feel and tell that I think we’re both not there yet.”

Clayton then thanked her for being herself. Both so classy! I almost wish they had ended up together now.

Next. Who went home on The Bachelor this week?. dark
