What to expect from ‘The Bachelor’ finale and ‘After the Final Rose’

It appears Susie Evans chose to eliminate herself at the end of the March 8 episode. However, host Jesse Palmer revealed Susie remained in Iceland despite her dramatic exit during the Fantasy Suites episode with Clayton. Clayton’s family met his remaining contestants, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, during last night’s episode. 

Despite Susie’s refusal to compromise specific values, Clayton remains hopeful the two can rekindle their connection. The Bachelor lead also told Gabby and Rachel he loved them, further complicating matters. In the March 14 episode, Clayton convinced Gabby and Rachel to stick with him, and both agreed. However, Clayton still has eyes for Susie.

During Clayton’s Bachelor “After the Final Rose,” Jesse plans to bring Clayton and his final three women on stage in front of a live studio audience. The group breaks down their feelings about the tumultuous season and where they stand now.

Reality Steve’s spoilers reveal what he knows so far about Clayton and his relationship

Initially, Reality Steve believed Clayton proposed to Susie in the finale, but she ultimately rejected his proposal. However, the spoiler guru has retracted that statement and recently shared what he learned.

“There is a final rose ceremony day. Clayton has a ring, and Susie arrives in a final rose ceremony dress like a regular final rose ceremony we’ve seen in the past. At this final rose ceremony, I had reported two weeks ago that Clayton proposed and Susie rejected the proposal. That did NOT happen. However, Clayton did tell Susie he was in love with her. Susie tells Clayton in return that she is NOT in love with him, and she walks away.”

The reality TV blogger also believes Clayton is still single at this point, but he clarifies this is only his guess. Nothing has been confirmed. 

In a recent post, Reality Steve wrote, “All I can tell you about that is what I’ve heard, and that’s that he’s single. After all this we’ll see tonight, I find it very hard to believe somehow Clayton and Susie are going to announce, ‘Yeah, we got back from Iceland, talked it out, and we’re a couple now.’ [I] Find that hard to believe.”

For now, fans will have to wait to see how everything plays out for Clayton, Susie, Gabby, and Rachel. Tune in tonight on ABC.
