All eyes are on Cassidy Timbrooks in ‘The Bachelor’ Season 26 Week 2

It wouldn’t be an episode of The Bachelor if something dramatic didn’t happen. This week, the spotlight is on Cassidy Timbrooks. After getting the Group Date Rose, Cassidy gets busted texting with another guy. Another one of the women rats her out to Clayton, who then revokes the rose. 

All of this is according to Reality Steve, who said, “At the cocktail party before the rose ceremony, it’s found out either because she told someone who then spread it or something to that effect, that Cassidy Timbrooks was still texting a guy while she was in quarantine before she got her phone taken away. This news made its way back to Clayton, and even though Cassidy already had a group date rose from that week, he decides to take it away from her and send her home.”

This leaves Clayton with 18 women in the running for his heart. Keep watching this season of The Bachelor to see how Clayton’s journey unfolds.
