Clare Crawley is in love with Dale Moss, it's evident but her being into him dismisses the point of 'The Bachelorette'. In pursuing and loving Dale, she sidelined the other men who were selected to be a part of the show in search of love and happiness. This has been a point of concern among the other men who have been trying their best to attract Clare's attention, but sadly, they have not lived upto her expectations yet.

Host Chris Harrison sat down with Clare to get a handle on things and eventually found out that she is in love with Dale. She shared how Dale has always been there for her. Even when she was left heartbroken after Yosef Aborady's behavior, he was there. "He is constantly showing up for me," Clare said as she teared up. It was now clear to him that she would want to be with him no matter what. "You blew up 'The Bachelorette', Chris joked while he acknowledged her decision to stick to Dale.

Ever since she has expressed her feelings for Dale and how there's a connect between them, fans have judged and criticized her for ruining the show. They were not happy she was busy giving Dale chances while others were just there, existing, not doing much to contribute to the show simply because she seemed to be attached and attracted to Dale. Once, one of the men even openly roasted Clare for favoring Dale over others. She thought the sketch was more hostile and comic and left from the area bitter.

Having said, there's also a section that believes that Clare went to find love on the show and she is now with Dale and people shouldn't be bringing it down. "I’ll say this. She definitely could’ve handled certain situations better. But the point of the show is to hopefully find love. She obviously has with Dale. There’s nothing wrong with that," a fan commented on the show's Facebook handle, while another commented: "I loved how she send that disrespectful guy out! She doesn’t settle for sh*ts like that. So proud of her. As for her love for Dale, when you know, you know. I would have been the same."

"I have a totally different view of this. She found someone she feels strongly for and went for him. I hope they are still together and happy. I'd do the same thing. If I felt drawn to one the most, I wouldn't want to kiss other people," a viewer expressed. "Honestly I really enjoyed Claire’s season. We all knew she was going to be unpredictable, and it honestly created for some good television."
