In this episode (our longest episode ever!), we chat about Clayton Echard and the bios of the 31 women competing for his heart, internet stardom, and a Neil Lane diamond ring. We give superlatives for most likely to get a villain edit, most likely to have lived during the 1800s, and most likely to climb Clayton like a tree. So grab your hot flash cocktail and join us as we give our predictions about the most dramatic season of The Bachelor. Until next season.
