The Promo for Echard’s Season Spoiled His Final 3 Contestants

In a December blog post, Reality Steve revealed Susie Evans, Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey are Echard’s final three contestants. This was an update to his previous reports, revealing in November that Serene Russell also received a hometown date. Obviously, she must not have received a rose that week.

“I didn’t believe it could happen, but I’m in love with three women,” the 28-year-old said in a confessional before revealing it collectively to the women.

He adds, “I just want you to know that what I’m going to say is not going to be easy to hear. I want to be fully, fully transparent and I know it’s not easy to hear, but I was intimate with both of you.”

Echard seems to make this confession in Iceland, per Reality Steve who also revealed the fantasy suite dates and final rose ceremony are in the country. If the trailer is to be believed, it would indicate Recchia and Windey are his finalists.

Echard Teases His First Rose of the Season Is Rejected

In his season’s promo, Echard says, “The first rose that I have given out as the Bachelor was rejected.” So which contestant turned him down?

According to Reality Steve that would be Salley Carson, the 26-year-old from Charlottesville, Virginia.

Reality Steve tweeted, “So Salley never made it to night 1. Once this all got out the day of the headshots being released, Salley was asked by production if she still wanted to do the show and she said no.”

The thread continued, “Clayton was probably informed of this and went to talk to her in her hotel room pre-show, which is why the promo last night had him saying the first rose of his season was rejected. He’s referring to Salley choosing not to be cast for the show.”

While Carson may not have accepted his rose, the Bachelor Whatever Instagram account revealed Teddi Wright receives his first impression rose.

Season 26 of “The Bachelor” kicks off on ABC this Monday, January 3, 2022.
