As the drama continues on Season 26 of 'The Bachelor', there seem to be a dwindling number of women who don't have a problem with Shanae. As she continues to lie to Clayton and create drama, also has him wrapped around her little finger, allowing her to advance this ahead on the show and survive eliminations. But Shanae's feud with everyone might not be the only drama that's going on.

As Shanae plots to get Genieve eliminated, she seems to have convinced Clayton that Genievie is an actress and is only on the show for clout. But it turns out, she's not the only one who has had this thought in general. It looks like there is trouble brewing between Mara and Sarah.

Mara, who is 32, believes that Sarah, 23, is not here with the intention that she claims to have. The tension between Mara and Sarah is not a new one, as it was highlighted during the previous episodes roast challenge, where both of the women made jabs at each other for their age, seeing that Mara is the oldest of the lot and Sara is the youngest. While most of the cast handled the jokes made at them with jest, Mara and Sarah spared no chance to take shots at each other.



 

In the episode preview, Mara talks to Clayton about how a much younger Sarah might not have the same ideas about the future that he currently does, stating that what they want out of this show is not aligned. Mara believes that Sarah is not looking to settle down immediately, unlike Clayton. This certainly presents itself as a problem to Clayton, as he is looking for a wife and not a girlfriend. Clayton discusses the issue with Jesse to gain clarity about what to do and how to proceed.

What do you think? Is Mara out of line to question Sarah intentions? Is Sarah there for the wrong reasons? Will Clayton be able to come to a resolution, or will this drama also evolve into a Shanae-level catastrophe? Sound off in the comments below and tell us what you think.
