A New Worst Bachelor - The Bachelor Breakdown Clayton's Season Finale RECAP (Part 1)

[@BachelorFantake]

EDIT: Part 2 now up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maqxp3iOq8ppl8U I originally planned to make 1 video for everything but there was just too much to talk about plus I'm still taking things slow. I’m hoping Friday for part 2! And if you’re watching this going “I still don’t think Clayton takes Peter or Juan Pablo’s crown for worst Bachelor" just wait for part 2!

Rachel and Gabby supporting each other was so awesome to see. Gabby coming back and apologizing for making Rachel wait only for Rachel to respond by saying stop apologizing and wanting to know if Gabby was okay, all hit me right in the heart.

@@amandagfuller this is the thing. I had a guy similar like Clayton. I never slept with him thankfully, but this guy who wanted to date me was so hurt, his reaction to my rejection was blame me, blame me, blame me TO add on top of the following words he said “are there going to be hot women there and I broke up with my ex because she was too addicted to her family.” - yikes, I know. Also the guy that wanted to date me didn’t want to do therapy and his family aggressive abusive dad, pleasing mom. My road with this guy were as closed as they come, the kindest thing I did was pay for mail back his gift to me without my address (very happy he never knew where I lived). Clayton was able to admit he thought his season would be seamless but he admits it’s a train wreck and he has awesome parents who seem to be a team, PLUS SUSIE has some great boundaries. I’m fascinated. I’m familiar with abuse and My style of dating with no flirting, I’m secure attachment. Clayton will continue to be self aware. I am most optimistic about Clayton.

[@mitchellmartinsky2299]

Clayton’s whole fantasy suite/finale saga had me going back and forth questioning, “is this man a deliberate puppet for production, dumb, or both?” and I came to the conclusion it’s both, plus no empathy. I’ve never seen a lead who is so fully manipulated in every moment by production to do the cruelest thing possible, but also convinced that him being the Bachelor makes that behavior okay.

[@NOHOPHOTO]

Don't think he's dumb just didn't know anything about how the show works. Or that he had the power to do things differently. He was dumb in thinking production had his back or cared about any of them. Production has created some of this fantasy suite drama by insisting they all stay together and interrogate each other the morning after. Think that is some real manipulative bs.

[@taraleasure]

I love how both women stood up for themselves. Gabby is so well-spoken, and I think she’s spot on about what ‘exploring other relationships’ actually means- it doesn't imply having sex with multiple people. Also, true love can’t be measured; it’s a verb and a commitment, not just a ‘feeling.’

[@vanillaghetto]

So what does he should explore "inside *and* out" mean? Maybe Gabby talked a big story...and then didn't like that story...when it wasn't her in the end.

[@kohlinoor]

I think the sex is only a part of the issue. The main thing is "exploring other relationships" doesn't mean telling all three women you love them and can't choose between them. Regardless of who he ended up choosing, he was supposed to make a choice and, to honour and respect that chosen woman, refrain from using those words with the other women. Those were the terms and expectations of their arrangement. The show's called "The Bachelor," not "The Polyamorous Posse."

[@machodgdon]

Just the fact that he could not shed one tear and was just stone faced proves to me that Clayton may truly not have a sense of empathy

[@QueXLcior]

Exactly. I had such a hard time actually hearing and understanding him because everything he said had absolutely no heart in it.

[@hollykeiser9549]

Nah, you have to understand everyone shows emotions differently. For example, when my grandpa/dads father died, I never saw him shed a single tear but I know he was incredibly heartbroken. I’m 100% not saying Clayton wasn’t in the wrong, because he most definitely messed up. I’m just trying to get the point across that everyone communicates/portrays emotions differently.. and the fact that he didn’t cry doesn’t mean he feels no empathy.

[@mitchellmartinsky2299]

so he has to shed tears then

[@LM-pc1pk]

I’m so glad this season is finally over. Now I can honestly say Clayton has been the worst bachelor and should’ve never been chosen. He somehow had all the worst qualities/did the worst actions of Ben H, Arie, Colton, and Peter. He’s a selfish pos and honestly should be single. I lost a lot of respect for Susie too for taking him back after how he’s treated gabby, Rachel, herself, and the rest of the girls. He’s had ZERO regard for any of the girl’s feelings ALL season. I hate to say this but nick viall was completely right: he only cared about finding love for himself, not for the girls. Clayton didn’t give a fuck about shanae bullying the other women and making the house toxic, he only cared about his own attraction to her. He didn’t give a single fuck about gabby or Rachel’s feelings and he still doesn’t. He really says he has no regrets? He doesn’t regret humiliating and hurting them two? He doesn’t regret emotionally manipulating and hurting Rachel/gabby because he believes it had to happen for him to get his selfish “happy ending.” He doesn’t even know how to use his words properly, he just repeats the same bullshit over and over again and thinks that’s a good enough “apology.” You could tell he had absolutely no remorse for how he hurt them. He didn’t shed a single tear (definitely proving that sarah was lying hahaha). He’s just happy he has susie. Not to mention he let all of America know he slept w both gabby and Rachel without asking if it’s okay to share that. I’m glad gabby and Rachel ate him up. Gabby was right about this all being about his ego. Susie was eliminating herself on her fantasy suite but Clayton exploded and sent her home to take back power. Same thing with gabby declining his rose. He begged her to come back so he can dump her on his own terms. He’s a hot-headed, emotionally immature, manipulative asshole. I have no sympathy for him and he honestly deserves all the hate he gets until he can actually use his words, take responsibility for all his actions and stop making excuses for it. He got too caught up in his role as the bachelor that he lost touch with reality, got on a power trip, and had literally zero empathy or understanding for the other girls. It’s terrible how he badgered these girls, made them doubt their intuition, and begged them to give him another chance just to send them home and break their heart twice. This is why we don’t let third graders choose the lead lol

I think a big part of it is usually the lead knows that you sort of have to "play the game" to be a good lead. You have to know when/how the producers are manipulating you to make the wrong calls, or setting you up for unwanted drama. You also have to be aware of how other contestants are navigating producers, too. I think Clayton really just fully trusted producers and the show and went along with whatever they suggested, and believed whatever they said. They for sure told him to be "as open and honest as possible" like he kept repeating, and I'm sure they encouraged him to confess his feelings to all the women. The producers knew he was a naive "player" and that's why they picked him. Not that that excuses everything he did of course.

I disagree. Yes, producers want the show to go on and such, but he wasn't forced to tell them that he loves them, he could have held back a bit and save all the BIG words for his final pick.

" Of course he was going to go back to susie, the produces have full profiles of every person on the show, why do you think Susie was the last fantasy suite? If she were 1st, none of this could have played out and it would not have created drama. He would not have already slept with the first 2 women, susie would have been happy to be 1st, most likely they would have slept together and when she told him he cant sleep with anyone else, that would have been that, its not good for the ratings on ABC. They put susie last just so this happened, and kept her in a hotel in iceland for another few days to match them back up, colton left her a note to come visit him and she shows up in a white wedding looking dress...you think that was an accident? That was what ABC / TPTB wardrobe had her were to fit the scene. Bachelor is not real life, its just wresting but for a different audience.

If I had a dollar for every time Suzie said “like” inappropriately in her conversations, I’d be rich. Then Gabby started saying “like” a lot, and then Clayton started saying “like” inappropriately, especially after talking to suzie. Drove me crazy! I had a “like” count going.

This episode was really traumatic, even for viewers. I can understand the rage that comes from this.

[@rhondamae1980]

It really makes you wonder if Susie has watched this season back yet ???? Or did they or Clayton shield her from watching the final episodes ???? How could she be with a man who treated Gabby and Rachel in such a horrible demeaning way? It’s true that some people are born lacking a conscience !

@Bachelor Fantake, So glad you're getting better!!! Sounds really rough what you've been through the past few weeks. I think you've gotten funnier too. Your Bachelor breakdowns make it worth it to see the season, even when it's as bad as this one was. Love your humor and the video clips you find!!! You make my week a little fuller! Thank you! And hope you stay healthy!

As a Cowboys fan, I love the clip you showed of DeSean Jackson (with the Eagles at that time) drop an easy TD vs my Cowboys back in week 2 of 2008. Im ashamed to say this but I was watching that Monday night game on my laptop during my final exam. I never ever miss cowboy games and that was the closest I ever came to missing a game. Now I don’t miss your reviews or any of the bachelor type shows.

[@lesliesackey2012]

I’m flabbergasted that half of my theory from last week still stands. Absolutely shocked but I’m excited for Part 2 of the recap! 🌹

[@clsnippets]

I'm happy for them I guess...but he definitely is the worst bachelor. The amount of manipulation and lack of emotional intelligence was unbelievable. I honestly can't believe Susie would watch Iceland back and choose to go after him after how he treated the other girls. Sort of blows my mind. Gabby and Rachel made excellent points the entire finale. I was sobbing at Rachel's departure and he didn't shed a TEAR.... I can't wait to see what the bachelorette brings. They were my two favs of the season anyway

[@sensfan7550]

I was rooting for Rachel tbh even after everything Clayton put her and Gabby through Rachel continued to fight through the emotions and heartbreaks, she was a very nice, genuine girl who deserved love and she told Clayton that he loved him many times. Clayton is an awful Bachelor and I'm surprised Susie got with Clayton again

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

"Clayton went from everyone loves an underdog, to you really screwed the pooch"

[@Paul-te8gi]

The old man was wrong. He said Susie wouldn't be back -- it was over. Screwing the pooch is an idiom meaning to make a very serious, grievous, or irreversible mistake; to ruin something or cause something to fail due to such an error. Yet Clayton ended up with the love of his life. Not such a failure, dad! I see the old man as an opinionated blowhard.

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

@@Paul-te8gi I wasn't talking about the actual situation or how things ended up, I was just commenting on the how Fantake made the connection between the advertising for the season and the comment that his dad made. The symmetry is lovely.

[@Milther2]

As a Bacheloe bro, I think Clayton wasn't malicious in any of his actions, but lord was he immature and lacking empathy. I very much agree with Nick Viall, Clayton only cared about his love story, and like Gabby/Rachel said, they became collateral damage on his journey

[@Paul-te8gi]

Rejection is an inevitable part of the show. That's not his fault.

[@MichelleBunt]

He's just a guy with some growing to do as a person. It came across badly and caused a lot of hurt but I don't think the intent was malicious either (said as a Bachelor gal).

As point of hyperbolic comparison, you can kill someone without malice :/ it’s called manslaughter and it’s still destructive

@@AmaraEmme Very true!

[@loisnewton1876]

I totally blame the producers for this whole fiasco! They KNEW how Susie felt about sex and that if Clayton really loved her, he would not have sex with the other 2 finalists. BUT the producers deliberately made Susie the THIRD one to get a chance to go to the fantasy suite, knowing how much Clayton loved her and how she felt about sex. Clayton was not aware how Susie felt, so the producers made a deliberate choice to make this a "SPECTACULAR" finish to the show. Personally, I am totally disgusted with the show because of the BOSSES decision. This is to make watchers feel good about everything in the show but they sure did not do that, and I am sure I am not the only person to feel this way! Previous to this, it was fun and exciting to see the choices each week of the bachelor / bachelorette, but no more! Get all new producers!

How could all three women fall in love with a total trainwreck? Unless their judgment was impaired

[@anon7057]

Honestly only follow fantake but I've been in that position he was in with rachel and that looked so brutal to have to go through on TV. Clayton didn't show an ounce of humility for what he put these people through and every time he tried to comfort them there was this small smile that would creep up on his face. Like you could tell he was hearing the words and i get that everyone reacts differently, but if you truly cared for someone that would hurt you to to see the person you "loved" being hurt by your actions. I'm glad his family just about disowned him when he was spitting out his bullshit

[@benflis1618]

the face palm transition was perfect timing. after he made the susie comment i literally paused the video just to face palm only to see that that was a literal transition lmao

With every bachelor since Colton era it gets worse and worse. Im baffle but with the bachelorettes it gets better since women know their worth and follow their gut. I hope that Gabby and Rachel gets their happy ending for real on their journey.

I know this is only part 1 but I'm curious so I have to ask... We know Michelle received a huge check towards buying a home so does anyone else think Clayton should have received a check to pay for therapy going forward? He obviously needs some maturing and learning coping skills to move forward in life.
