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

Welcome to Week 7 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.

However…despite what I said weeks ago (before this current season even started, really), I think he is doing a horrific job and is the worst bachelor in franchise history. In fact, his reign of being our leading (and disgusting for that matter) man is more horrific than legit any horror movie out there (sorry – I mean, not really – I just really had to say it)!

Okay, moving on…

Be sure to let us know down in the comments about your thoughts on week 7!

*In case you haven’t seen The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 7 yet, there may be some spoilers ahead, so beware!*

Okay, let’s talk…

So, this week, we were met with some tears, some fake tears, and some more drama that is just so unnecessary that it really and truly does make my blood absolutely boil. Sarah, at first, made you wanna feel sorry for her. Now? I’m glad she’s gone, but in all honesty, I kind of wish that someone would walk Clayton out and send him home instead.

Maybe it would be a better and way more interesting twist to have the girls just run around foreign cities and find random foreign dudes to date! Anyways, other than all of that, this week was just ugly and ridiculous…are we there (at the end) yet?! I can see it on the horizon (and thank the Lord up above for that)!

In all honesty, this week was super boring for me and made me want to take back all of the nice things that I’ve ever said about Clayton in all honesty (more to come on that later).

For now, let’s get into some superhero and supervillain actions of the week…

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 7: Heroes

#1: Sarah (kind of)

Okay, so I know what legit all of you are thinking right now: Sarah’s not a hero, she’s a villain. All she did was manipulate both Clayton and the girls for (almost) this entire time, right?! Well, yes.

However, I just did wanna give her some credit and commend her for the way that she handled herself in front of the evil stepsister, and the one that nobody wants, Mara. Sorry, not sorry–what Mara did and how she approached her was wrong but the way she handled herself was just fine.

Anyone else would’ve done the exact same thing! Anyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves. She (Sarah) probably doesn’t even realize how she’s coming off, which can be good and bad at the same time. Oh, well…she’s gone anyways…sayonara!

#2: Teddi

Poor thing! I was really rooting for her and she really was one of my top faves from the very beginning in all honesty–how about y’all?! She was still here even with no one-on-one post first impression rose. Overall, she just also holds and carries herself really well.

Like I just said, I was really rooting for her and wanting her to go far and do well–which the commercials definitely made it seem like. She never said a bad thing about someone in the house, and no one ever had a bad thing to say about her in the house either. Now that, my fellow readers, is commendable and absolutely applaudable. Way to go, Teddi! Good job!
