'The Bachelor' Season 26 Finale: Rachel claims she was 'collateral damage' to Clayton

Rachel was in disbelief that Clayton dumped her and confronted him about lying to sleep with her

If the season finale of 'The Bachelor' has you at the edge of your seat, then we don't blame you, this season has been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster. Clayton seems to have handled the entire Iceland trip in the worst way possible and at the end of it all, two people seem to have dealt with the brunt of his actions, Gabby and Rachel.

Seeing that he was hung up on Susie, Clayton decided to break up with Gabby and Rachel at the same time. While Gabby ripped into him and didn't hold back, Rachel was thoroughly heartbroken.
