The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 9 recap: Women Tell All

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! The Women Tell All of The Bachelor Season 26. Clayton Echard watched on as the women he passed on left nothing back discussing their time on The Bachelor.

Most of it was them yelling over each other and dissing on Shanae and Cassidy.

Good luck Jesse…Let’s get into it!

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 9 recap

1) HOT Start

Things got off to a hot start after host Jesse Palmer introduced the ladies of the panel. The first argument was between Sierra and Shanae…go figure. Jesse has to intervene to keep the show going and cut to a montage of dramatic footage.

Then the women start arguing again. Jesse doesn’t even have to spark a conversation. Cassidy gets roped into an argument and eventually admits to having a man on the side. She went far enough to say the “stuff” was that good that she wasn’t stopping unless she was engaged.

Very interesting. The women get to see the off-screen interviews for the first time and the reactions were priceless.

2) Shanae on the Hot Seat

Shanae is the first woman on the hot seat and gets some one-on-one attention with Jesse but quickly gets interrupted by the other girls. They discuss Shrimp Gate between Shanae and Elizabeth. This sparks further argument that involves Sierra and Genevieve.

Sierra asks Shanea if she thinks someone would want to marry her after watching how terrible she was on the show. Her response…”I think so.” Oh boy, we’re gonna be here a while.

Genevieve joins Shanae on the hot seat and the drama continues. Shanae accuses Genevieve of sleeping with a contestant from a former Bachelorette season after being eliminated. The best moment of this scene? When Cassidy turned on Shanae. Cassidy was bad, but even she knew Shanae was something else.

3) Sarah’s Up Next

Sarah takes the hot seat in a much quieter and more civil session. Sarah watches a montage of her time on the show which is met with an awkward moment of silence. Was Jesse supposed to talk? Was Sarah supposed to say something? Was Jesse waiting on the women to argue with Shanae again?

I don’t know, but eventually, we got around to talking to Sarah. The women have a civil discussion with her and confront her about the emotional time between her and Clayton. She stands firm that Clayton cried. They all agree to ask Clayton. This segment was both refreshing and boring in the same sense. I almost wanted someone to scream shrimp for no reason just to fill the space.

4) Teddi and Serene Tell All on The Bachelor Season 26

Next up on the hot seat is Teddi who has an emotional discussion with Jesse about her time on The Bachelor Season 26. They discussed her expectations, thoughts, and feelings during the whole process. Her virginity is a topic of discussion but her perspective is refreshing and widely accepted by the girls and the audience. She drops a bombshell that Clayton’s brother slid into her DMs. I think she put it well when she said one Echard boy is enough for her lifetime.

Serene sits in the hot seat for a conversation about her journey on The Bachelor Season 26. She was so close to the end and was the first woman to tell Clayton she was in love with him. Still puzzled as to why she was sent home she discusses Clayton meeting her family and how emotional her brother got. Where can I cast my vote for Serene to be the next Bachelorette?

5) Clayton Takes his Turn

Now for the moment all the women have waited for…their time to talk with Clayton. Although in a much different context than when they first started the show. Sierra is the first one to talk to Clayton and says he may not be ready to be a married man valuing lust over love. Shanae then gets brought up and he admits he made a big mistake keeping her around. Sarah and Clayton have a conversation and he confirms that he did not cry during their first one-on-one. Mystery solved.

Clayton is questioned further about Serene’s departure and her saying she loved him. Then Kira shoots her shot with Clayton in a very bold move. Ok good…I’m not the only one who has no clue who Kira is. They all watch some bloopers and a look back at Jesse’s season included him giving out the rose to the wrong girl. Yeah, there’s no coming back from that one.

They end the episode with a look ahead to tomorrow night’s episode and it looks GOOD. A lot of emotion is revealed and a lot of tears are shed. Teddi made a very interesting comment before the preview rolled saying she knows what happens and she hopes Clayton is okay. Does he propose? Does he get rejected? Only time will tell.
