Does Clayton Echard’s season receive a rose from famed “Bachelor” star, Peter Weber?
Former ‘Bachelor’ Peter Weber recently weighed in on the current season of “The Bachelor” and how he believes the current ‘Bachelor’ Clayton Echard will end up once he completes his quest for true love.
Peter “Pilot Pete” Weber was the franchise’s lead in its 24th season, and his journey to the altar was a little rough. Weber had two leading ladies on his mind by the time he needed to give out his final rose and get down on one knee. Weber proposed to front-runner Hannah Ann Sluss but ultimately ended up breaking his engagement to the Tennesse native when he couldn’t get runner-up Madison Prewitt off of his mind. Talk about a season full of thorns!
Does Peter Think Clayton Is Here For The Right Reasons?
Clayton Echard’s season of “The Bachelor” has gotten off to a rocky start. The season premiere, aired on January 3rd, experienced quite a dip in its ratings, according to TVLine.com. Critical and fan reception of the 26th season began before the season premiere, with many Bachelor Nation fans weighing in over the franchise’s decision to have the 28-year-old as the season’s lead.
Almost as soon as Echard’s season began, the drama between the contestants, particularly involving contestant Shanae Ankney, began to overshadow Echard’s search to find love.
Weber, whose season was also strongly affected by drama within the Bachelor Mansion, recently revealed his predictions over how Echard’s season may conclude.
On a recent episode of the “Here For The Right Reasons” podcast by Us Weekly, Weber didn’t hesitate to spill his feelings. According to Us Weekly, Weber said, “My prediction is-and I hate to say-he ends up with no one and that was supposed to be Rachel.”
Weber is referring to current contestant Rachel Recchia, with whom Echard has built a strong connection. Recchia’s Instagram bio highlights her job as a commercial airline pilot, and, according to her bio on the official Bachelor Nation website, she is quite a big fan of the “Harry Potter” series, and has big plans to “Read the ‘Harry Potter’ series with her kids one day.”
Where Is Clayton’s Heart Right Now?
Echard’s experience being the famous franchise’s lead hasn’t entirely been full of roses.
While we still have a good amount of episodes to go before Bachelor Nation fans see if Echard proposes to his true love, we have gotten a little insight into how he feels about his journey.
There is no shortage of Bachelor Nation-themed podcasts for its contestants past and present to appear on, and our current Bachelor heartthrob has already made the rounds on multiple podcasts!
Recently, Echard appeared on an episode of The Viall Files, the podcast hosted by the season 21 lead of “The Bachelor,” Nick Viall. Echard did not hesitate to reveal how he feels about his experience as the latest leading man of “The Bachelor.”
According to Cosmopolitan, Echard felt surprised by how much criticism he has received overall. He candidly explained, “To me, I wasn’t ready for the magnitude of criticism I was going to face…”
It’s only a matter of time before Bachelor Nation finds out the lucky woman to who Clayton Echard gives his rose! Hopefully, with Peter Weber on his side, true love will prevail for our leading man!
