Warning! Spoiler alert! The BachelorBoth future episodes and also.
Clayton EchardThe night of the latest episode of The BachelorTake back your power to get on the right track. Cassidy Timbrooks’ rose – a first in Bachelor history – but somehow he missed a bigger problem. The majority of Episode 3 was about Season 26 villains. Shanae Ankney and the rivalry she’s created between herself and fellow contestant Elizabeth Corrigan. Between Ankney lying about being bullied, manipulating Echard, and – worst of all – mocking Corrigan for having ADHD, Bachelor Nation is ready for Ankney to go. How long will she stay on the show?
Clayton Echard, the host of the latest episode, told the women in the group that he had to have a conversation with the whole house before the rose ceremony. Surely he’s going to address the bullying accusations that Shanae Ankney lobbied against Elizabeth Corrigan, Lyndsey Windham and possibly others, as he should, and the rest of the women can help Echard see the truth of what’s happening with Ankney, right? Echard won’t let a mean girl stay at the house after watching his mean tweets, live TV. Right?
Bad news! BachelorFans, because according Reality SteveShanae Annney survives the rose ceremonies and is then eliminated during a 2-on-1 in Week 6. What’s more, the rose ceremony coming up in Episode 4 will see Elizabeth Corrigan eliminated, as well as Kira MengistuAnd Melina Nasab. What went wrong, guys!
The preview for next week’s episode teased that Shanae Ankney’s antics will continue, as the group date features a tackle football game (what could go wrong?) with the winning team competing for more time with the hoodie-and-blazer-wearing Bachelor. Reality Steve confirmed everything we had been afraid of.
Shanae wasn’t on the winning team but she ends up crashing the [winning team’s]party and they break their trophy.
She will still survive the rose ceremony. The preview also revealed the beginning tension between Shanae Annkney and Shanae. Genevieve ParisiAccording to reports, Ankney will be playing on the opposite side of the 2-on-1 match with, It appears Parisi is part the winning football team, whose party Ankney crashes.
It’s hard to know what Shanae Ankney is trying to accomplish by making herself the villain. She lied to Clayton Echard about being bullied at the house and even shed a fake cry before bragging to producers about her performance. She clearly knows this is a television show, and the truth will come out, so what’s the point? Elsewhere in the episode, she ate most of Elizabeth Corrigan’s shrimp (not sure what that was about, but apparently the shrimp return next week) and talked about Corrigan nonstop — even mocking her ADHD Please try again (ugh!).
I don’t know if I can watch two more episodes of Shanae Ankney, y’all, but it looks like that is the task ahead of us. She does not make Clayton Echard’s final three. Look, I enjoy the Bachelor Nation drama as much as the next person, but this just hasn’t been fun, especially after the recent season of The BacheloretteMichelle Young had a happy ending. The Bachelor Next Monday, at 8 p.m. ET, the series will continue. ET on ABC. You can also see what other shows will be premiering on our 2022 TV Program.
