“Roses are red, violets are blue, Clayton is the Bachelor and I just puked in my mouth,” went one of the tweets he read on the air. Clayton then added in his own defense, “I really hope that people just give me a shot, because my journey is authentic, I really did give my very best and I think people will see that be put on display.” It’s not just Clayton who needs to hold the audience’s attention on The Bachelor Season 26 (which premieres Monday, Jan. 3, 2022 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC). There are 31 women from all different backgrounds who will be vying to keep his interest as well, including a pageant winner, a dancer, a law student, an entrepreneur and even a former Olympian. And rumor has it, one of the ladies who does well this season is Teddi Wright. (Warning: The Bachelor Season 26 spoilers ahead!!) Teddi gets Clayton’s all-important first rose of the season, according to Bachelor Nation blogger Reality Steve. That’s usually good, right? Not necessarily. While Teddi remains in the game, by episode 5, Reality Steve says, she still won’t have gotten a one-on-one date with Clayton. Can this nurse nurse her Clayton connection back to health in time for the final rose? Keep reading to find out more about TheBachelor Season 26 contestant Teddi Wright, including her background and what she hopes for in a long-lasting love.
