When it comes to reality shows about love, The Bachelor is one of the first that springs to mind. Indeed, it is one of the oldest shows still on the air, and it continues to draw a large number of live viewers. It is still ABC’s top reality show in the demo, and total audience numbers aren’t far behind.

Who Did Clayton Echard Send Home in Episode 2 Of The Bachelor Season 26?
The evening began with 22 women and ended with 22 as no one was sent home! Of course, the episode ended on a dramatic cliff-hanger.
Why?
Sierra Jackson drew Clayton aside at the night’s cocktail party and told him that Cassidy had a guy back home with whom she’d been hooking up and that she wanted to meet up with him again when shooting was almost over. Clayton concluded the episode by asking presenter Jesse Palmer that Has anyone ever returned a rose before? So there you have it.
Who Does Clayton End up With?
Since the finale was only recently recorded, there’s no word on which of Clayton’s final four females he ended up with or someone else—you never know what may happen on set! More specific details are still TBD for now.
Stay tuned for more information on Clayton’s love journey, and check in to ABC every Monday at 8:00 p.m. EST for new episodes of The Bachelor.
The Next Episode of The Bachelor Season 26
The next episode will run on Monday, January 24, because ABC will be pre-empting The Bachelor on January 17 to broadcast an NFL playoff game.
We hope that the next episode of The Bachelor Season 26 will be more surprising.
