The Bachelor Season 26 is around halfway through, and yet there still seems to be about a dozen women that we have not seen that much of.
With so much drama centered around Shanae Ankney and her chaos and manipulation, many of the remaining contestants have not had their chance to shine—and those who have have been eliminated by Clayton Echard after he chose Shanae over them.
This week, three more contestants were not given a rose and were sent home by Clayton. And yet even committed members of Bachelor Nation may have difficulty identifying the women who were eliminated in Episode 5.
As such, here is your guide to who exactly the women who went home this week are.
Who Left The Bachelor in Episode 5?
This week's eliminees:
- Jill Chin, 26, an architectural historian from Scituate, Rhode Island
- Lyndsey Windham, 28, a sales representative from Orange, Texas
- Sierra Jackson, 26, a yoga instructor, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Sierra was the latest person to face the consequences of coming up against Shanae. In the previous episode, Elizabeth Corrigan tried to tell Clayton about Shanae's conniving behavior, and got sent home for her honesty. This led to Clayton actually writing an apology to her on Twitter.
As of yet, Sierra has been given no apology by Clayton for telling him about Shanae's behavior last week, only for her to be swiftly sent home by him. She did, however, get the last word, telling Clayton that he has to "choose a girl for the man you're going to become, not the man you are right now."
Sierra has had something of a way with words since she entered the show. She was the one who told Clayton (inaccurately it turns out): "Don't freak out, but I'm your wife. I just got back from the future, okay? You end up choosing me anyways, so do you just want to get out of here?"
Jill also had a memorable entrance, coming in with what she called "the ashes of my ex-boyfriends." Lyndsey had a much less memorable entrance, and spent most of Episode 1 worrying she had not made enough of an impression on Clayton—a worry that she may have been right to have.
With these woman gone, we are down to our final 12 contestants on The Bachelor Season 26, with Eliza Isichei, Gabby Windey, Genevieve Parisi, Hunter Haag, Mara Agrait, Marlena Wesh, Rachel Recchia, Sarah Hamrick, Serene Russell, Shanae, Susie Evans and Teddi Wright still remaining.
The episode ends with Shanae and Genevieve on a two-on-one date—one that could have major repercussions for The Bachelor. Susie hinted that she might be done with the show if Clayton makes the wrong choice—and she might not be alone. She said: "If he leaves Genevieve at Niagara Falls. I think I would just take my relationship less seriously at that point."
The Bachelor Season 26 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT on ABC. Previous episodes are streaming now on Hulu.
