While Season 26’s second episode kicked off in typical style—with the women moving into the famous Bachelor mansion, a place contestants haven’t been for several seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic—it shockingly ended with an ominous “To Be Continued” instead of the usual end-of-episode rose ceremony. So, which contestants got the boot—or didn’t?!?—in week 2? Find out if Clayton Echard sent anyone home last week on the second night of TheBachelor Season 26—and who got his roses.
Who got Clayton Echard’s first group date rose on The Bachelor Season 26 last week?
The first date card of the season was handed out quickly, and it was a group date. Cassidy Timbrooks emerged as an early-season villain and, naturally, there was tons of low-key insanity. Gabby, Serene, Cassidy, Genevieve, Melina, Kira, Teddi, Ency, Mara and Sierra were the lucky invitees to Clayton’s first group date on week 2. The date took place at a mega-mansion in Beverly Hills, and it featured a bunch of kids in the backyard who were being watched over by guest star Hilary Duff. Several of Clayton’s romantic hopefuls literally started screaming when they realized it was Hilary, and Cassidy completely fan-girled out, even shouting, “We love you!” The women were recruited to help set up a birthday party for one of the kids, named Maya. Cassidy walked off with Clayton, making out with him by the pool—twice—and ticking off the other women in the process as she refused to help with party prep. During the party, Cassidy also dropped the cake before Maya could blow out the candles, which didn’t win her any more fans. Clayton and Serene Russell bonded over their love of kids in the evening portion of the date, but Cassidy ultimately got the group date rose.
Who got Clayton Echard’s first one-on-one date on The Bachelor Season 26 last week?
Susie Evans got the first one-on-one date on Clayton’s season, and the two went on a helicopter ride before landing on a yacht. Clayton raved about how “sweet” and “appreciative” Susie was in his interview with producers, before saying that “there’s something here that’s developing that’s very special.” The two bonded over family during the evening portion of the date, and Clayton gave Susie a rose at the end.
Who got Clayton Echard’s second group date rose on The Bachelor Season 26 last week?
The second group date—which included Marlena, Elizabeth, Kate, Sarah, Lyndsey, Rachel, Tessa and Shanae—was led by comedian Ziwe, who walked the women and Clayton through relationship red flags. She also led them in a game of Never Have I Ever. Shanae Ankney, who is also buddies with Cassidy, seemed to be trying to become a season villain, too. Shanae told Clayton that Elizabeth Corrigan was two-faced, leading Clayton to have a serious chat with Elizabeth, who defended herself. At the end of the night, Sarah Hamrick got the group date rose. Shanae and Elizabeth started arguing again about whether Elizabeth didn’t pay attention to Shanae during an earlier conversation. Elizabeth said it was due to her having ADHD, which Shanae kept bringing up and ridiculing.
Who did Clayton Echard send home last week on Episode 2 of The Bachelor Season 26?
The evening started with 22 women… and also ended with 22, as nobody was sent home! Of course, things were still left on a dramatic cliffhanger. Why? At the night’s cocktail party, Sierra Jackson pulled Clayton aside and told him that Cassidy had a guy back home that she’d been hooking up with and that she planned to meet up with him again after filming was over. Clayton ended the episode by asking host Jesse Palmer, “Has anyone ever taken a rose back before?” So, there’s that.
