The Bachelor Season 26 has become the Shanae Ankney show as the drama continues related to the suitress. In Episode 5, Clayton Echard addressed the incident that occurred at the after-party in the previous episode.

Ankney crashed the party of the contestants who won a football game and threw the trophy in the pond. The ladies informed Echard about the incident, leaving him shocked, and he then called Ankney to listen to her side of the story.

She spoke the truth but added that she would like to apologize to the girls. Ankney gave a teary-eyed apology, which she later confessed on camera that it was fake. She compared her acting performance to Meryl Streep’s work and said that she deserves the Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe Awards.

The suitresses were quite confident that Echard would ask Ankney to go home. But after her apology-drama, Echard was seen appreciating Ankney for taking the stand.

The twist in the tale came when he chose Ankney over Sierra Jackson, who had been warning Echard about Ankney from the beginning. In addition to the suitresses, viewers can also see Ankney’s real side and her fake tears.

Fans of the dating series are slamming Ankney for her apology with crocodile tears and are surprised that Echard couldn’t see her truth.
