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.

'The Bachelor' Season 26 Finale: Here's why Clayton might end up alone

Rachel broke down entirely and concluded that Clayton never really loved her. She was even shocked while Clayton walked her to the car and was in pure disbelief that she was being sent home. When she sat down with Jesse and Clayton, she called out Clayton for turning Gabby and her into 'collateral damage'. She also confronted him about the fact that he said she was the first person he had fallen in love within five years and wanted to know if he said that just to sleep with her. Clayton denied it, but he could do little to redeem himself. Fans' hearts went out to Rachel.

"Rachel's heartbreak is so VISCERAL rn!! Ughh this is so painful to watch. #TheBachelor #TheBachelorABC" tweeted a fan. "Clayton didn't even wipe Rachel's eyelash off for the camera so he ain't sh*t #thebachelor" added another.

"I've been where Rachel was and I promise you queen, your best is yet to come. I love her with all my heart. #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "This whole situation is just horrible and so sad all around. The girls deserved so much better and honestly I feel bad for Clayton for not having enough emotional intelligence to handle this situation better and find real love. #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan.
