If there is one thing that Season 26 of 'The Bachelor' has in abundance, it would have to be drama. While Clayton continues to try to make lasting connections with the women, the drama between them certainly seems to be getting in the way of it all.

After the chaos that was Cassidy came shrimpgate, with Shanae going above and beyond to throw sand in Clayton's eyes. And while she might have ruined Elizabeth's chances with him, it looks like some women aren't bothered by her at all and have eyes only for Clayton. And that happens to be Rachel.

Clayton has been smitten by Rachel right from the get-go -- it was only a matter of time until he asked her to a one-on-one date. The waiting paid off as this week, the two of them spent some quality time together in Houston. Clayton certainly felt that he could see himself with Rachel in the future, and she felt the same way. However, his concern was how someone as wonderful as her could struggle to find love. Rachel was honest with him, stating that her ex was insecure about her job and was always concerned that she would cheat on him. However, Clayton reassured her that he would never stop her from doing what she loved and would always support her and her career. Fans were glad to see Clayton build an authentic connection finally. 

"Them chemistry between Clayton and Rachel is so obvious! #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "Me seeing Clayton and Rachel and believe it #TheBachelor" added another. "They’ve drained me so much w the drama that it’s hard to care about the potential love story. I see the connection he has w Rachel so that’s my pick but other than that the substance has been lacking so far #thebachelor" tweeted a fan. "Rachel wore that pretty top and ate ribs and baked beans & didn’t spill a drop- I’m impressed #TheBachelor"said a fan. "Rachel’s the first girl I see Clayton have real chemistry with and he like likes her!!!!!!!!!! #TheBachelor" tweeted another.
