The Bachelor Season 26, Episode 4 saw the ABC show's third rose ceremony, where another three romantic no-hopers were given the boot by Clayton Echard.
The three eliminees this week may have missed out on a trip to Houston, but they also did not have to be involved in what felt like the 18th round of Shanae-based drama. In the episode (streaming now on Hulu), not only did the entire house keep talking about who did and did not eat the shrimp, but a group of contestants even tried to stage a coup to edge Shanae out of the house.
Previous weeks of The Bachelor had dramatic scenes of contestants either eliminating themselves or getting eliminated for the non-crime of having a friend with benefits back home ready for the 97 percent chance that Cassidy was not chosen at the end.
The Week 4 elimination had none of this drama, but fans who want to know exactly who Clayton eliminated can read on to find out.
Who Did Clayton Send Home on 'The Bachelor' This Week?
This week's eliminations were the following:
- Elizabeth Corrigan, 32, a real estate advisor from Highlands Ranch, Colorado
- Kira Mengistu, 32, a physician from Greensboro, North Carolina
- Melina Nasab, 27, a personal trainer from Los Angeles, California
At this point in The Bachelor, it can still be difficult telling these women apart, so here's how they entered the show if that jogs your memory:
- Elizabeth was the one who brought the whip in and started by spanking Clayton,
- Kira turned up in a doctor's coat wearing nothing but lingerie underneath.
- Melina entered the show on a pair of springy moon shoes (called a "questionable decision" by a fellow contestant) and leapt into Clayton's arms.
With these latest three eliminations, 15 women remain: Eliza, Gabby, Genevieve, Hunter, Jill, Lyndsey, Mara, Marlena, Rachel, Sarah, Serene, Shanae, Sierra, Susie and Teddi
So far, only Rachel Recchia is safe in the next rose ceremony. The pilot received a rose from Clayton after their one-on-one date in the most recent episode. Serene Russell also looks to be on safe ground. Clayton chose her to be his next one-on-one date in the current episode, though ABC viewers will have to wait until the next episode to see the actual outcome from that date.
Per the promo for the next episode, Serene's date will be just one of the drama-filled moments to come in the next episode. Expect more of the girls plotting to send Shanae home, another classic Bachelor helicopter ride date, plus Clayton sharing many more kisses with the remaining 15 women out for his heart.
The Bachelor Season 26 airs Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on ABC.
