For Clayton Echard, Season 26 of 'The Bachelor' is off to quite the start. After getting his heart broken on Michelle Young's season of 'The Bachelorette', Clayton wasn't too sure if he could love again. However, he seems to be more than ready to find 'the one' and the 31 women competing for him are not holding back.

However, Episode 1 came in with drama, seeing that Salley Carson decided to leave the show before the rose ceremony could even begin while Claire Heileg was asked to leave the show after she declared she hated Clayton. With two people gone, here's a look at who actually survived the rose ceremony!
