This week’s hot mess of a finale on the ABC dating series “The Bachelor” is transitioning to a precedent-breaking 19th season of “The Bachelorette” with two women sharing the title role.
What Happened: The 26th season of “The Bachelor” took on a level of sitcom-worthy shenanigans with Clayton Echard juggling three women – Susie Evans, Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey – with whom he claimed love. Since polygamy is not a viable route for wrapping the season, Echard ultimately chose Evans, who rejected his final rose – a first in the series’ history. Echard and Evans appeared on the show’s live broadcast dénouement to reveal that they reconciled and are now dating.
