While the show made it seem like they were shell shocked with Clare’s sudden departure, Reality Steve says that they knew very early into filming Clare’s season that Tayshia would end up becoming the new bachelorette. He claims that Tayshia was already quarantining at the resort only nine days into filming Clare’s season, which was reportedly weeks before her decision to quit because of Dale. Considering that people believed that the season would be boring due to being forced to remain in one place, Reality Steve shared that this was the show’s “twist” to make this season more engaging.
