The Bachelor Season 26, Episodes 9 & 10: Heroes (Women Tell All)

#1: Teddi

Short and sweet over here for this week for me personally, I felt really bad for her. Her tears seemed so genuine, but I’m glad that she didn’t waste them on a man. No matter what you think of Clayton, no man is worth your tears, ladies, and gents. So, kudos to you, Teddi Girl. Anyways…can we say Paradise?! I can! Let’s go!

#2: Sierra

While she did call Clayton the ‘F’ out, she does need to pipe down. Besides the fact that I absolutely hate her voice and knows that she talks way too much, she was usually the first one to call out Shanae to Clayton. But at what point does it become too much tattling and wanting to be the first one to break such disturbing and disgusting news?

#3: Jesse (Host)

Simply put, he had to put up with Clayton during the Women Tell All Episode this week. In all honesty, he just looked like he was forced to be there, which I guess he technically is, right? He may not be as good a host as Chris Harrison, but he certainly makes an okay replacement for the man. Jesse, kudos to you for putting up with all of C’s women. You deserve the brightest golden medal my friend.

The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 9: Heroes (Fantasy Suites)

*By the way, these ladies are listed in order from most likely a hero to least likely a hero this week!*

#1: Gabby

First off, it’s always hard not being first during Fantasy Suites. I personally thought that Gabby’s insanely good sense of humor helped her handle that part of it super well. Second off, her dune buggy date was super fun to watch as she screamed in excitement while out with Clayton on the black sand beaches of gorgeous Iceland. Third off, Gabby is always super fun to watch in awkward situations as she is just absolutely hilarious.

She’s my personal vote for the next Bachelorette!? Thoughts?!

#2: Rachel

Now, if you’ve been following along with my pieces here on Accept This Rose, then you’ll know that Rachel hasn’t always been my favorite…really ever in all honesty. But that’s okay, it’s not like I really have terrible things to say about her, I just don’t like her.

Anyways, this week, while I didn’t like her, I did like how she called out Clayton for not being open with her. However, in all honesty, it’s not really her place to tell Clayton when he should express his feelings for her. In addition, no offense, but it was kind of funny when Clayton scared her when attempting to reveal his feelings for her.

I love a good scare, I mean let’s be honest, who doesn’t, am I right?!

Do you like Rachel? Thoughts?!

#3: Susie

At first, I was gonna commend her for how she handled not being chosen for the first overnight Fantasy Suite Date. However, her feeling and actions got worse and worse and worse as the episode went on.

She kept spiraling out and in all honesty, it didn’t really impress me all that much (queue in Miss Shania Twain, y’all). In addition, the only other nice thing that I’ve got to say about her is that she handled the super cold water, then hot-to-cold temps pretty well. Kind of fitting for the rest of the episode/their pre-FS date, later on, that night, huh?!

Clayton vs. Susie? Thoughts?!
