For instance, Clare Crawley’s season has begun filming in a secluded location, but did you know that the show was reportedly threatened by Crawley almost quitting after almost two weeks of filming?
The Bachelorette Spoilers – Is Clare’s Season Still On?
One complication came as a result of the men of the season being announced but then having to wait. Apparently some of them tried ahead of time to make the most of their fame.
Chris Harrison told Entertainment Tonight, “These guys aren’t living under those guidelines, because they’re not really part of our thing yet.” He was referring to Matt James creating a Cameo account.
“And so they’re outliving their life, and they’re kind of using having been picked to be on The Bachelorette as a bit of a bouncing point… so I think she’s just like, ‘Look, I wish everybody would respect the rules. We all play by the same rules, so when you come in, there is a sense of innocence and naivety and we can actually get through this.”
As a result, some of the men were recast before filming began in a quarantined locale in Palm Springs, California.
Not All The Men Actually Made It To The Mansion
Then came word that Clare wanted to leave the show! The Bachelorette is all about the lead finding true love. Before this season Crawley failed to do so on The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Bachelor Winter Games. Picky, picky!
But, she has now found love apparently, causing her to consider leaving the show. “She told producers she no longer wanted to participate in the show” because she had “already fallen in love,” a source spilled Life & Style.
Reportedly her connection with contestant Dale Moss was strong that she wanted to quit.
The sources added, “Producers are scrambling to figure out what to do. They are frantic trying to pick up the pieces without having to start over completely.”

But, Bachelor nation expert Reality Steve poured cold water on this notion tweeting, “She signed a contract for the show. You can’t just quit in the middle of it. If that were the case, PLENTY of other former leads would’ve done that once they knew who they wanted early on. So dumb.”
