Clayton Echard on Rachel Recchia, Teddi Wright, Susie Evans, and Gabby from ‘The Bachelor’ 2022
Following The Bachelor Season 26 premiere on Jan. 3, Clayton opened up about four frontrunners – Rachel, Teddi Wright, Gabby Windey, and Susie Evans – in an interview with Us Weekly.
The new Bachelor lead shared why Teddi won his first impression rose, revealing that he truly felt “relaxed” around her on night one.

He also said that Gabby was “someone to keep an eye on” because she is “a lot of fun.” Then Clayton gushed over Rachel. When asked about the contestant, the Bachelor said:
“Oh man. For one, [she’s] absolutely incredible. I love the fact that she’s so driven. To be a pilot in training, that’s so unique. And I could tell as we talked that first night, she’s so passionate about her occupation. And she was someone who was very intentional. … That was one of those conversations night one where I walked out of there – along with other conversations I had, and I was like, ‘I’m already feeling good about these girls early on. Where could we be at the end of all of it?’”
Why Bachelor Nation fans think Rachel Recchia wins Clayton Echard’s season
In a thread on Reddit, some Bachelor Nation fans compared the way Clayton spoke about Susie, Rachel, Teddi, and Gabby. And ultimately, many viewers theorized that Clayton’s comments about the contestants suggest that he picks Rachel at the end of The Bachelor 2022.
“It’s definitely Rachel. If it’s not Rachel, he better explain himself to his F1!!!” a fan commented on the Reddit post. “But he sort of described Susie and Gabby in the same way – a lot of fun.”
Then another viewer wrote, “Alright he straight up gushed about Rachel while the other girls got very careful, diplomatic answers.”
Meanwhile, one Bachelor Nation fan speculated why Clayton might be being so obvious about his winner.
“Definitely Rachel. Because it’s like he’s almost trying to downplay the Susie and Gabby relationships, which leads often do with their other final girls,” the fan wrote. “Like if they were F2 and F3 I’m sure they were more than just ‘fun’ to Clayton but he’s probably trying to make his F1 feel reassured. “
