Alums of The Bachelor franchise are voicing their opinions of Tuesday night's episode, which saw Clayton Echard and Susie Evans part ways after he was physically intimate with both Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey. Ever since ABC announced that Clayton would lead season 26, he's received his share of fan hate.

During the recent episode of The Bachelor, viewers cringed as Clayton professed his love to Rachel, Gabby and Susie, each of whom thought they were the only recipient of the «L» word.
