Clayton Echard might not be a part of the ongoing 'The Bachelorette'  Season 19, but his spirit continues to haunt 'The Bachelor Nation' franchise. From current bachelorettes Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's constant references about him to the glaring resemblance that some of the suitors bear with the 'Bachelor' alum, it seems like Clayton is very much a part of the season. 

After canceling the rose ceremony in the pilot episode, Rachel and Gabby decided to host the first rose ceremony of the season. The rose ceremony featured some very surprising and unexpected results, such as Mario Vassall, who seemed to have caught Gabby's eye bagging the final rose to Ryan Mula being shown the door. Fans were especially surprised to see the 36-year-old's elimination as they felt that Ryan and Gabby had a special connection. In a bid to explain the unexpected elimination, several fans concluded that Gabby and Rachel may have kicked Ryan out of the dating show owing to his striking resemblance to Clayton.
