When it comes to 'The Bachelor', one thing is guaranteed -- heartbreak and drama. And it looks like fans will be getting both right off the bat with Season 26 on 'The Bachelor'. Clayton Echard has made it plenty clear that he follows his heart, but that might not always lead him in the right direction.

After having his heart broken by Michelle, despite winning the approval of her students, Clayton seems to be ready for love again. But not even halfway into his episode, Clayton seems to be running wild. For example, he gave out a rose outside the rose ceremony. Wondering who possibly bagged that rose? Meet a certain Salley Carson

For Salley, being on the show was conflicting. As she explained it, the day prior was her wedding day. But her marriage fell through, which prompted her to join the show. However before the rose ceremony could even begin, Salley was unsure of herself and thought it was best to leave the show. She met with Clayton to explain her situation. Fans were exasperated.

"Okay. I might have only lasted 28 minutes into the show before I give up. Giving this rose to Sally is some bull shit #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. "Not a connection, chemistry & a rose before introductions actually start. Boy this season gonna be a whole hot ass sloppy mess  #TheBachelor" added another. "Girl this conversation with Clayton is completely unnecessary Just go home, you shouldn't have come in the first place. Season's already off to a lame start. #TheBachelor" said another. "Her : "I was supposed to get married yesterday and idk what to do "Clayton "here's the rose , stay" What in the mess is this @BachelorABC #bachelor #TheBachelor" tweeted a fan. ""I can tell you're a great woman"??? You just saw this woman cry about her fiancé. What have you seen?! Because she's hot??? Lots of them will be hot. I'd get the message that clearly this lady is hung up on her ex fiancé #TheBachelor" added another.
