11/14/2020 Bachelorette Column – The Argus has at this point.

3. Clare and Dale enjoy a night full of passion together. None of us wanted this except for them. Dale’s walk of shame interrupts a great camera angle of Chasen’s thighs, which we actually did want. Love you Chasen.

4. Clare refused to apologize to the men for wasting their time. Shoutout to Boy Band Manager Kenny From Chicago for calling her out on this bullsh*t.

5. Blake Moynes, who bears a striking resemblance to the lion from the Madagascar movies, is heartbroken that Clare is leaving. He spent four months researching her and buying books to help with conversation. Sorry Blake.

6. Clare and Dale get engaged and it really feels like some poor ABC intern is holding a gun to Dale, making him go through with it. But at least he’s got that charming smile to distract us from the “HELP ME” in his eyes.

7. Bennett was severely overlooked in this episode.

And that’s where the episode left off, in the middle of all the election uncertainty and mass chaos around the country. Clare picked a man faster than Nevada could count votes and then Tayshia Adams was crowned the new Bachelorette. For those who might not remember, Tayshia made it pretty far on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor a few seasons back, then returned to Bachelor in Paradise only to go home with another fan-favorite John Paul Jones. Unfortunately for them, their relationship didn’t work out; fortunately for us, we got an amazing replacement. This past week showed what should have been the real pilot episode for this season.

1. All 16 of Clare’s leftovers stay to see who walks through the door. Jason, still traumatized by his therapy date with Clare a few weeks ago, decides he needs to go home after giving Tayshia a chance. She handles it with grace and dignity like the queen she is.

2. Literally everyone is in a much better mood now that Clare is gone and Tayshia is here. These men have developed personalities, their smiles are no longer forced and even Chris Harrison seems to be breathing again. I can start to tell the generic looking white men apart now. A week ago, I wouldn’t have known any of their names.

3. Clare and Dale interrupt the episode to remind us that they are in fact still together. Chris Harrison asks what’s next on the horizon, and Clare immediately shouts iwuargus.com/bachelorette-column/ 2/6
