The new Bachelor almost stalls out at the starting line, getting rejected twice before he even gets a chance to dump anyone (via toofab)
Clayton Echard was a controversial choice to star as the next Bachelor, and even he knew it, joking that he had"eight minutes" of time on Michelle Young's season.
It was a weird start to his journey, and one that could have easily taken him out of the spirit of"fun" he was looking for. But one look at all those beautiful ladies -- and then several more looks down and up and all around -- and he was back in the game! Clayton, who had yet to see any of the other women, seemed to want to emphasize to her that she's really hot and he's really into that so shouldn't she stay? He even went out on a limb and offered her a rose.
We did, though, appreciate Clayton taking this to acknowledge that he was going to have to work for these women and couldn't just expect them to be into him. It kind of sounds like missing the whole story Salley had just told him, but it's a good sentiment.Once he'd gotten the chance to meet all of the ladies who made it to the limo phase of the competition, things again took a sour turn. This time, though, we're not sure exactly what was going on.
She even went so far as to tell a lot of the other women that she hates him, which is pretty harsh for a guy she'd just met and only shared one half of a moment with. This is where we wonder if her pride wasn't wounded a bit at feeling rejected because Clayton wasn't fully committed to staying with her.
It was a pretty subdued performance, overall, though we still got some memorable entrances, for better or worse.Sierra definitely had the best line, cracking us up with her declaration that she was back from the future and was already his wife,"so you wanna just get out of here?"We're not sure who's idea it was for Jane to come in and tell Clayton that she was a cougar at 33 years old! First of all, no, that's not how that works.
Things are already moving hot and heavy this season, as Clayton broke Teddi's vow that she would not be kissing him tonight by kissing her instead. And, on top of that, he did it in sight of the other women, who immediately started feeling the pressure. “I’m not normally a hugger, but i do believe in a firm handshake. Did you feel the electricity between us?” --Susie “I heard that you are a big teddy bear, that’s what everyone keeps saying … So you’re the big teddy bear, hopefully soon, I’ll be your Teddi bear.” --Teddi
“Listen, I am breaking code here, but I just wanna come in-- Like, I can’t wipe the smile off my face right now. I’m so excited already, and I am so thankful you guys are here.” --Clayton
