The start of most interviews are normally lighthearted, which is why I am slightly thrown after I begin chatting with The Bachelor‘s Clayton Echard. I jokingly ask whether or not he is acquired considered one of ABC’s press mailers that included an enormous Bachelor physique pillow, and his reply is kind of telling. “I’ve one, however not with me,” he says. “I would like a shoulder to lean on proper now, so I want I had one.”
Hmm. Now, in all equity, that would imply a lot of issues. That is The Bachelor in any case. Clayton’s simply been within the sizzling seat on the Ladies Inform All taping, and going through almost 20 ladies you have dated—or simply Shanae—might ship anybody operating for canopy. Or for the closest physique pillow.
It is for that motive that I feel nothing of his remark till later within the interview, when he reveals this gorgeous piece of information: “I do not assume anybody anticipated my journey to finish the best way that it did, together with myself, nor did I would like it to be that method. Everybody might be form of stunned. I want it might have went every other route, but it surely went the route that it did.”
What?! To not be all dramatic, but it surely positive feels like no matter occurs on the closing rose ceremony in Iceland subsequent week is not “closing” in any respect. We already knew the remaining three ladies do not react effectively to discovering out that Clayton was in love with every of them and intimate with two of them, however this sounds much more severe than that. It seems to be like Clayton’s not the one one who wants a Bachelor physique pillow—viewers might want to cling to 1 for consolation too.
However first, the fantasy dates are so as after which the two-night finale subsequent week. So simply what’s going on? And what does Clayton want he might return and alter? Right here he opens up about all that and a complete lot extra.
Glamour: So when did you progress to Scottsdale, Arizona, and why?
Clayton Echard: I moved December 27, to be actual. I took a highway journey from Missouri. Nineteen hours throughout, and I am now residing with my brother, who lives there. It has been enjoyable. It has made the fixed journey again to L.A. way more palatable. It is solely a 55-minute flight versus an eight-hour journey day after I was going to and from Missouri. It felt like one of the best factor for me to do within the brief time period.
Because you’re now residing along with your brother, do you know that considered one of your brothers DM’d Teddi on Twitter?
[Surprised.] No. Did she say which one?
Teddi stated she’d allow us to determine it out. She by no means responded to him despite the fact that she stated it was harmless however considerably unusual.
My brother instructed me he was going to succeed in out to her. I did not know he really did that, however he was undoubtedly . I am positive many different individuals are too, so he’ll need to get in line. I am unable to imagine he went by way of with that. My brothers are unfastened cannons.
