The latest season of The Bachelor is all set to come to an end this week, where Clayton Echard will have to make the tough decision of choosing a life partner.

The finale of the dating series will consist of two parts, which are reported to be extremely dramatic. The two final suitresses are Rachel Recchia and Gaby Windey, one of whom will have her heart broken in the finale.

Earlier, Susie Evans' dramatic exit left viewers in shock. Her reason for discontinuing the Fantasy Suite segment was that she was not comfortable with Echard being in love with all three of them and being intimate with Recchia and Windey. And if she had continued the show, he would have been intimate with Evans too.

Meanwhile, a few trailers featured Echard being in a tough spot while making a decision during the rose ceremony. Read on to learn more about the finale episode.
