If there is one word that is synonymous with 'The Bachelor', it would have to be drama with a capital d. Between the fights for Clayton attention, there is plenty of internal drama this season. And while Cassidy was the first villain of the season, Shanae quickly proved to be a cut above the rest. And turns out, the drama continues to escalate with each passing episode. 

As shrimpgate continued, Shanae and Elizabeth relentlessly argued with each other. With Shanae kick-starting most of the drama, it now seems to have extended to the rest of the women, with Sierra and Genevieve also getting involved. While Elizabeth was apologetic for the entire situation, Shanae showed no remorse whatsoever. And that might just be a running theme all season, by the looks of it.

With the episode starting with an elimination, the drama between Shanae and Elizabeth prompted Clayton to cancel the cocktail party. While he tried to make sense of the situation, Shanae brought up the entire shrimp incident, resulting in a massive argument. When it finally came down to the elimination, Clayton decided to have Marlena, Teddi, Rachel, Mara, Sierra, Susie, Jill, Serene, Genevieve, Hunter, Lindsey, Elise and Shanae to stay. That meant Melina, Kira and Elizabeth were asked to leave. This had fans surprised, seeing that Clayton picked Shanae over Elizabeth.

"Now give shanae the last rose  #thebachelor #TheBachelorABC #Bachelor" tweeted a fan. "Clayton keeps Shanae. Bachelor Producers scheduling a football group date: #thebachelor" added a fan.
