Bachelor Nation alum Nick Viall got an early sneak peek at the Bachelor finale. Did it change his mind about Clayton Echard? Keep reading for all the details.

Nick Viall originally wasn’t Clayton Echard’s biggest fan

Nick Viall was among the loudest Bachelor Nation alums in expressing uncertainty over Clayton Echard’s casting. His voice joined legions of fans who weren’t impressed with Echard’s tepid appearance on The Bachelorette.

In fact, Viall said that Season 26 will “all sound nice, but none of it will sound real.”

However, after watching the season finale episodes, Nick Viall seems to have changed his mind. Why is he now predicting Season 26 will be “the most talked-about finale ever”?

‘It’s Nuts,’ he previews the Bachelor finale

Nick Viall’s fear that Clayton Echard’s season would be bland was demolished during the episode airing on March 7. After revealing that he slept with 2 out of 3 finalists, the third – Susie Evans – read him the riot act.

As a result of the explosive argument, Echard promptly sent Susie packing, leaving Gabby and Rachel as his final two choices. However, nothing is as it seems in Bachelor Nation.

Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss previously teased that the show doesn’t end at the final rose ceremony. New promos dub the event ‘the rose ceremony from h*ll.’

As a member of Bachelor Nation, Nick Viall got to watch the explosive final episodes in advance. And he took to TikTok to share his thoughts on the finale.

People magazine reports that he compared it to prior seasons. “Do you guys remember the debacle that was Ayre’s [sic] season or Colton’s fence jump, or the Peter craziness — child’s play compared to what I just witnessed.”

While he didn’t drop any spoilers, he did encourage fans to watch.

“You have to watch it,” he said. “It’s nuts,” he added.

Bachelorette announcement expected

Don’t miss the After the Final Rose live special airing on Tuesday, March 15. Rumor has it that the network will announce the Season 19 Bachelorette. Several of Clayton’s castoff contestants are in the running, including Serene Russell.

In addition, the final three women will hash it out with Clayton Echard. The ATFR may be more dramatic than the season finale.

The shocking conclusion will air in a two-night event on Monday, March 14, and Tuesday, March 15, only on ABC.
