'The Bachelorette': Clare says touch test much needed after quarantine, fans find it 'incredibly uncomfortable'

Even though Clare Crawley and Dale Moss are easily and evidently attracted to each other, she still has shown interest in all the other men on the show

'The Bachelorette' is back and is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the viewers are served with unending and explosive drama. Even though Clare Crawley and Dale Moss are easily and evidently attracted to each other, she still has shown interest in all the other men on the show. And the group date was proof enough. It started with gift-giving and ended with a touch test, which was uncomfortable to watch for the fans because everyone was blindfolded and touching each other like there's no tomorrow.

Clare hugged and touched all the men that were present in the room but it was Dale that she had the most chemistry with and one could tell they were visibly into each other. When asked how she felt after receiving and giving so much love from and to people, she said: "It was much-needed after quarantine."

But, in all honesty, in her mind, it seemed though it was Dale who Clare enjoyed touching. "So many different sides of themselves. I couldn't be grateful to them for opening up," she told later on and added in her confessional that she was looking forward to speaking with Dale one-on-one because "Everthing feels so natural" with him. But to her disappointment, the guys were more interested in bro-ing out and that was something that didn't sit well with Clare who blew up and shared that they should be on a different show, adding that she'd like her man to give her time. 

Meanwhile, fans shared how they were 'disgusted' by the touch test. "Watching Clare react to Dale’s physical touch challenge #TheBachelorette #bachelorette," a fan commented, another shared: "The other guys watching Claire and Dale touch each other #bachelorette."

"Let’s blindfold a woman and have men wait their turn to touch her on national television #Bachelorette," a user tweeted. "I would be SO INCREDIBLY UNCOMFY during this love language physical touch- fest thing they’re doing rn omg #bachelorette," another viewer expressed. "Watching this “physical touch” section of tonight’s group date on @BacheloretteABC is more uncomfortable than the contractions I’ve had for the past month. #stop #bachelorette," a fan pointed out.
