'The Bachelor' Season 26: Fans take Sarah's side as Mara calls her out for being cocky

'Sarah had every right to address the girls about who was the one talking about her… what is Mara on about?' asked a fan

For Clayton Echard on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor', it is now coming down to the wire. Entering the rose ceremony with nine women, the women that make it past this will find themselves inching towards the all-important hometowns.

While Teddi, Sarah and Rachel all have roses, the Sarah-Mara drama certainly has a few women feeling rather uneasy. Which brings us back to square one -- who will go home during the 6th rose ceremony?

While Clayton took aside some of the women during the cocktail party, Mara decided to talk to Sarah after she addressed the girls the previous night. Mara called her on making it seem like Clayton was "a trophy to be won" and asked her to "take a step back in her comments". She repeatedly mentioned that Sarah shouldn't get confidence and cockiness mixed up. However, fans were on Sarah' side when it came to the whole confrontation with Mara.

"You felt like her comment about you was “insensitive” but telling Clayton you think she’s too young to be ready for marriage because you’re threatened wasn’t insensitive? Girl bye. Don’t dish it if you can’t take it back. #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "Sarah had every right to address the girls about who was the one talking about her… what is Mara on about? and why is Rachel agreeing? Sarah isn’t “cocky” she’s standing up for herself #TheBachelor" agreed another. "Shouldn’t a b*tch be confident?? Mara is weird…Sarah should say Clayton is hers and have that attitude all the way to the end if she really wants him. Sarah should chuck deuces at that ass and show her better than she can tell her. #TheBachelor #BachelorNation" asked a fan. 

In addition to Mara addressing Sarah's 'cockiness', she also mentioned that the other girls in the house felt the same way. The confessionals featured Rachel agreeing with Mara's sentiments, which confused fans, seeing that Rachel had never mentioned having any issues with Sarah before. Fans suspected shady editing, as always. 
"Am I missing something??? When has Sarah been manipulative??? They give way too much screen time to Mara when Clayton doesn’t even like her  #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "So Rachel is also feeling at odds with Sarah. I feel like I'm missing something..??? #TheBachelor" added another. "This confrontation with mara is giving high school bully but the other girls seemingly being on her side is making me pause on how much of this is the edit.  #TheBachelor" noted another.

However, Sarah's confidence or cockiness, whatever you'd like to call it was only backed up when Clayton eliminated Mara and Eliza. This meant that Susie, Gabby, Serene and Genevieve all got roses, in addition to Teddi Sarah and Rachel.
