With the pressure piling on to make meaningful connections, 'The Bachelor' contestants are certainly starting to feel the heat. However, the drama seems to be endless. While Cassidy has been sent home, there is still chaos, due to internal fights.

On the first group date, Serene Susie, Eliza, Mara, Marlena, Hunter, Genevieve and Jill got a chance to open up and be vulnerable with Bachelor Clayton. On the second group date, Gabby, Rachel, Kira, Melina, Lyndsey, Sierra, Teddi, Elizabeth and Shanae found themselves having a Baywatch themed date.

The ladies opened up about their insecurities throughout the first date, with even Clayton talking about his own body dysmorphia. Clayton connected with Eliza during this date and gave her the group date rose. While the first group date was underway, drama flared up at the mansion. While Elizabeth had whipped up some butter garlic shrimp, Shanae found a way to spoil that even. The primary outcome was that fans now had a new nickname for Shanae. 

"If Internalized Misogyny was a person it would be Shrimp Girl Shanae. #thebachelor #bachelor #thebachelorabc #bachelornation" tweeted a fan. "Those shrimp didn’t even look good- but idk how Elizabeth could make 20 shrimp and expect 18 girls to share. I’m not down with us shaming Shanae for eating 8 shrimp. I got 99 other reasons to hate her though #thebachelor  #shrimpgate" added another. "The shrimp: “i would very much like to be excluded from this narrative, one that i have never asked to be a part of” #thebachelor" joked a fan. "I’m calling Shanae “shrimp girl” the rest of the season It’s nicer than the other names I wanna say. #thebachelor #bachelor #thebachelorabc #bachelornation" tweeted a fan. 



 



 



 



 

Back on the second group, Shanae went above and beyond to get attention from Clayton and fans were slightly over it. To add to the chaos, she even went to Clayton later and told him that Elizabeth created a toxic environment. He consoled her as she cried, but Shanae bragged about how Clayton believed her in her confessionals. 

"You remember that little girl in pre-school who got mad if other kids liked your lunchbox more than hers? That’s Shanae. #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "Shanae makes out with Clayton and the first thing she says, I hope Elizabeth saw that.. #TheBachelor" added another. "Shanae, your soul is dark and nasty. You're a horrible, horrible person. Ew #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "Shanae, let it go honey. Again, it's a competition sure, but you're focusing way too much on "not like othering girls" on Elizabeth way too much. Okay, now I can see why she was recruited. Damn, at least Big Brother actually has some likable ones. #thebachelor #BachelorNation" added a fan.
