'The Bachelorette': 'Creepy, crazy' Clare sniffs Dale's pants, fans say if he doesn't run now he's nuts

DeAnna Pappas comes to visit Clare and during the chat, Clare pulls out Dale's pants, sniffs them and covers her face with them, causing mass hysteria among fans

Clare Crawley is turning up the heat on her season of 'The Bachelorette' that's currently on air. Not just her, but her 31 suitors too aren't behind in doing so. Last week, a lot of them stripped down as they engaged in a game of shirtless dodgeball while Clare looked from a distance. Slamming the whole activity as disrespectful was Yosef, who called Clare classless and branded the game an atrocity that he'd never be caught dead being engaged in.

Not just that, he said that he was ashamed to be associated with her and would rather be with his daughter he left home. Clare got all worked up and threw him out, and coming in to save the day was Dale. He came in and did the bare minimum, if we are being honest. However, it was enough for Clare to start waxing poetic about him. In a confessional, the next day she said she was covered in snot and was left crying after being slammed by Yosef but Dale came in and lifted up her spirits.

This is just the third episode and Clare has already spoken about being enamored with Dale every chance she gets. The show gave her one more chance to sing praises about him when DeAnna Pappas, who fronted Season 4 of 'Bachelorette', came visiting Clare for some girl time. From whatever we saw from that interaction, Clare continued talking about Dale and at one point pulled out Dale's pants, sniffed them and put them over her face as she leaned back into the couch and stayed there for a couple of seconds. She also said that she slept with them in order to feel close to him. 

Watching this has caused mass hysteria among 'Bachelorette' viewers who couldn't believe what they just saw. They were quick to call out Clare on her creepy behavior and some of them were sure that Dale would see this as a red flag. "Just when I think it can't get any more psycho, Clare smells the crotch of Dale's pants," wrote a fan. "Sometimes I think I’m crazy, but at least I don’t carry a man's pants around with me," wrote another.

"Clare, girl you have some issues. From sniffing Dale’s pants to the whole daddy issues. Seek help," wrote another. "Who the hell wants someone’s old ass ripped pants as a gift? This woman is crazy," read another tweet. "Is she SMELLING his pants! If Dale doesn't run after seeing that he's nuts! She is boiling rabbit crazy which is why she is 39 and single! #rundalerun," wrote a fan. "His pants ?? Dale is about to realize how crazy she is and dip," read another tweet.

'The Bachelorette' airs Tuesdays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
