Happily Ever Disaster - The Bachelor Breakdown Clayton's Season Finale RECAP (Part 2)

[@BachelorFantake]

Thank you all for joining me this season! There are still videos on the way for the off-season including a season review and possibly some non-Bachelor stuff as well. Though I admit I'm looking forward to the few months break as we wait for The Bachelorette coming July 11th!

Take ur break. Get strong and healthy. We love you

Bro I get you aren’t happy that they are back but is that because in your prediction you said “I don’t see how she could take him back after everything that happens.” And up to the very end thought there was a possibility he ended up with Rachel

I hope they're both brave enough to team up against production and share notes/support one another vs. letting production puppet them along. Gabby showed a remarkable amount of self-awareness during the ATFR. To quote Game of Roses, she's enough of a professional player I'm hoping she can manipulate production without turning them against her. Not sure Rachel has the same wherewithal, but we'll see! Either way, I won't watch a second of it, but I definitely will watch Fantake's reactions! :D

[@georgialee6755]

Gabby and Rachel aren’t the only women who’ve ever been hurt. I had a guy do worse to me. He dated me for several months, began using the I’m too busy working excuse - he wouldn’t even see me on NYE - and then he eventually broke up with me for no good reason and he later acted as if I had done something wrong. He later tried chasing after me but I was done. He was the one I wanted to be with but he treated me too much like crap. He even later shoved other women into my face after he broke off things between us. Men are jerks and this is why we women can’t be too nice with men. All women need to read the book “Why Men Love Bitches” by Sherry Argov. She uses the B word as “Babe In Total Control of Herself”

[@ahoward3503]

He didn't even look or act sorry! It was just another box to check. He gave no respect to those mature woman. The whole season, I thought that they deserved better. Up until after the hometown dates, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I really just think he expected people to see his side of the story and agree with him just because he was the lead, and it was the Clayton show.

[@candacesmith823]

He gives the most obnoxious apology which is used by bullies and sociopaths "I'm sorry you feel that way" which is saying "you're wrong for being offended by what I did"

@@Paul-te8gi why do ppl like you always conveniently forget all the ppl behind the scenes that could have also influence Gabby's decision to stay? Like it really didn't seem like she was gonna stay after the convo ended, but then she came anyways. It's very possible she could have had a convo with one of the producers in between and got convinced into staying for a better finale. But no, no one wants to apply actual logic to reality tv when producers always have a large role to play behind the scenes. Edit: Also I see a lot of myself in Gabby, I would have left after the Shanae debacle though, but if the producers hinted that they were thinking of making me the next bachelorette or something if I wasn't at the end of it I might have stayed too.

What upsets me the most is that even after Susie sees how Clayton treated both Gabby and Rachel, telling them he loves both of the them, ask them to stay, dumps them both at the same time and STILL doesn't address all of that. Like if him saying he was in love with all three of them, intimate with two of them and that's the deal breaker and now it doesn't matter now. Like how can she be alright with him after see this side of him. Anyway I hope Gabby and Rachel find their person and are able to support each on. Plus who doesn't love Big Tony and Grandpa Joe, they were the highlight of the show.

[@amany8805]

He didn't respect her either, even when he saw her after she came to his home he didnt get up or hug her or show any emotion (just hey suzie) although he knows he disrespected her in their last conversation, also in his proposal he was getting the ring and showing the ring case to her "this is how serious I am" is that romantic??showing ring case that you got from production like you have a prize !!

I agree with the Dear Shandy podcast theory; it was Rachel all along until Susie walked away the first time. Clayton wanted what he could not have. He was no more in love with Susie than he was with Gabby. I’m glad hr didn’t get Rachel. He doesn’t deserve her.

[@phoenixgirl70]

Yup and now that he has her, he’s going to be bored. It will not last. I don’t know if she’s a pageant girl and so it feels like she “won” or if it’s the romantic hideouts until they could be in public. I just remember some girls saying he’s sleeps with everyone but I was going to let his actions show me as those pre-show rumors can be false. It’s interesting Suzie has been “explaining” Clayton on Viall I heard (but won’t listen from what I heard) but it’s like he’s using her. Again. For his own purposes.

[@georgialee6755]

CARAT Mom so disagree - it was Susie almost the entire time. He acted differently around Susie - I knew he was going to pick her many weeks ago. He and Rachel had no connection. Truth be told she only wanted to kiss him part of the time and she came across as kind of dingy at times. She and Gabby need to be more confident and serious. They’re very nice but men don’t necessarily want the nice ones - I’ve learned that from experience.

It could just be the editing, but it's like a switch goes off when Susie tells him she can't be with him, like once he couldn't have her he just couldn't stop wanting her. But again, who knows how much was manipulated by the edits. It's just so odd that the consensus was him & Rachel then suddenly nope. Even when Gabby left he had to chase her until he sent her away. Sort of makes me view Clayton giving Sally that rose when she was hesitating if she should stay on the season differently. But again, editing, yadda yadda yadda, it's not like he chased after every woman who left him. Hope him & Susie make it work and that producers don't f up Gabby's & Rachel's season after the nonsense they pulled this season. Really looking forward to your review of the season.

A lot of people have been giving Susie hate for going back to him saying things like “We were rooting for you! How disappointing!” and I don’t necessarily disagree with those feelings. I don’t think she deserves hate or bullying at all, but I understand why other women would be disappointed in her ultimately going back to a walking red flag on national television. I think, in general, more people are mad that Clayton still got a happy ending more than they are with Susie wanting to be with him. Clayton saying that it was worth it all to get the woman he wanted is quite a slap in the face to Gabby and Rachel considering what he put them through, and he ONLY is saying that because he got what he wanted in the end… no matter the cost of other people’s hearts. He did not deserve to have a happy ending whatsoever in my opinion, but I will be cheering so loudly for both Gabby and Rachel to find the love they deserve! ❤️

Clayton may the be Bachelor calling the shots, but the women are still human and he shouldn’t have wasted their time/gave them hope again when his feelings about Susie never changed. Just do right by Gabby and Rachel by being honest with them! And honest with himself for that matter too.

ahh i love gabby so much. i'm a little peeved she has to navigate the experimental double-lead season because i think she really deserves to find someone and it's going to be that much more difficult to with this new format

Hahaha the Barb edit was genius 😏😂 I commented too soon 😂 the Leslie Knope reference destroyed me hahaha I know you’re not feeling good, but this was golden 💁🏽‍♀️

[@Captain_Kirk116]

I always thought Gabby was an airhead or doormat cuz of her voice and the facial expressions she makes when people talk to her but she not only stood up for herself, she also stood up for Rachel as well, so that was impressive. I still like Suzie as a person, and she knows better than us how Clayton has changed as a person since Iceland cuz we only know what production has chosen to show us, and I think that's something people should keep in mind before throwing stones at her.

[@jirafstudio]

They played up the lovable airhead concept, but Gabby showed us that she is an articulate person. And being an ICU nurse, she must also be very smart and able to think on her feet.

[@Paul-te8gi]

Weeks after the fact when it no longer mattered, Gabby stood up for herself. In Iceland, however, she let Clayton talk her into accepting the last rose. Not to mention hopping into the sack after he used the L-word.

[@mitchellmartinsky2299]

it's not impressive it makes them look stupid

[@TransparentEclipse]

Clayton doesn’t deserve any of them. Susie needs to realize this. I can’t believe she gave him a second chance. This guy deserves no love from anyone. The entire season he mishandled absolutely EVERYONE. This guy needs to work on himself before he even attempts to love someone else, he is too stupid to function.

[@MsDesiree39]

it's called rea loive and theyre moving in together

im so so happy for gabby and rachel, but also a little stressed. if these last couple of seasons are anything to go off of, i wouldn’t be surprised if production tries to make us turn on one of them and brand her the villian of her own season. it’d be a juicy plotline but sad to watch

You've worked hard BF, thanks for the fantastic recaps. Looking forward to the next season of 'ette and to your vods. I think Gabby is intelligent so I have confidence that she won't let producers pit her against Rachel

Gabby is an OG. The way she spoke and articulated herself was amazing! How he took her choice away about leaving and now it’s on his terms. I can’t wait to see her and Rachel’s season!

[@Paul-te8gi]

"How he took her choice away about leaving." Gabby is 26. She allowed Clayton to cajole her into accepting her last rose -- against her better judgment.

[@LM-pc1pk]

Yes altho I am not happy for Clayton, at least we get Rachel and gabby as bachelorettes. I adore both of them and they both deserve the best. As long as their friendship stays intact, I’m all for this. This has been done in other countries’ bachelorettes so I think it will work out. I’m assuming within the first 4 weeks the guys will decide which bachelorette they want and Vice versa. I highly doubt the guys will get to a top 4 and not be sure which bachelorette they’re pursuing. This season appears to be premiering July 11th tho so how is paradise going to work? Aside from that, I actually thought Jesse Palmer did a great job hosting the finale. He seemed more comfortable than before and I hope he shows more of his personality in the following seasons. One last thing, I’m sure we all noticed Shanae was there. WHY? Why was shanae there and not Elizabeth? Do they not realize that we don’t want her here? It’s like they’re trying to redeem her so she can stir the pot in paradise. Producers need to understand she’s not okay. She took her role as the villain too far. She literally made fun of Elizabeth’s ADHD yet they’re still giving her a platform. They’re yet to acknowledge and apologize to Elizabeth and they probably never will. They’re just sweeping it under the rug and that’s disgusting :/ I really hope they don’t bring shanae back but knowing them, they probably will. I could tell how they edited the WTA, they made the other girls look mean and crazy and her poised. Cuz it’s easy for her to sit there, lie, and act classy after the damage has been inflicted. I really don’t care how much they try, there’s no redeeming shanae.

WAIT can we talk about the edit between Susie getting walked out of the chapel to her getting in the car!! Did anyone notice something strange about the camera shots and how they didn’t show either Clayton or Susie’s mouth or even really show their facial expressions? When I watched it for the first time, it almost seemed like they were laughing?? Am I trippin?

[@Arkin47]

There was this one camera angle from Clayton’s right side as he was walking her to the car where it looked like he was smiling? Also, when he said “I wish nothing but the best for you”, it sounded like it was edited in?

[@Readingwithmeredith]

Also Jesse made the point to say Clayton was so upset when Susie left him in Iceland but there was nothing shown of Clayton after that, which I found really odd….

[@AuntieL_ATL]

Clayton didn't care and keep saying those weak "i'm sorries", because he was back with Susie. I knew it even before the reveal because of how stoic he was.

[@taraleasure]

Clayton asking Gabby to walk her out of her own room, like no, it doesn't work that way. Gabby describing what it actually means to love someone is spot on- you're assuming responsibility to care for and protect the other person's heart. As for Susie and Clayton reuniting, I'm honestly all for it. Forgiveness is key, and it doesn't have to end in the way production always pushes for it to. I think Susie and Clayton being able to have a realistic relationship in the world is going to help them a lot. I've seen it with other people I know: sometimes you have to cut ties completely and not have the hope of ever getting back together and if it's meant to be, you'll find your way back to each other.

[@LK-qz7eh]

Let’s not forget how Clayton behaved during the fantasy suite breakup. This is how he handles a disagreement??? He had a tantrum and was downright nasty. Take note, this is his demeanor in the beginning when men are supposed to be on their best behavior? It’s scary and whether it’s a 2nd chance or a 100th chance, Clayton is a man child and a master manipulator. He lacks the wherewithal to comprehend the definition of accountability and compassion. He may never get there, which will make him unqualified to be anyones husband.

[@taraleasure]

@@LK-qz7eh honestly can’t say I disagree with you. I think he handled himself so poorly too and I wouldn’t say he’s ready to be a married man. But I love Susie and I’m glad they’re happy 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LK-qz7eh]

@@taraleasure If they’re happy for now, that’s great but Clayton showed who he his. He’s not husband material and he and Susie will not make it to the alter, I guarantee it. And if Susie didn’t see the red flags rewatching the show, then that’s her being delusional. I just think it’s interesting that when Clayton didn’t get his way (during the fantasy suite breakup w/ Susie) he had a lot to say. But when Rachel was pouring her heart out he shows no emotion. If he’s wronged, then he reacts if he wrongs someone he’s stoic. And his “apology” was so generic and sounded cliche. Worst bachelor ever. He makes Juan Pablo, Jake Pavelka, Windmill Peter, etc all look like saints.
