'The Bachelor' recap: Clayton threatens to quit after emotional elimination

By George Costantino

It's fantasy suites week, and on Tuesday's episode of "The Bachelor" one woman's questions had Clayton questioning the future of his journey.

Clayton and the three remaining women -- Gabby, Rachel and Susie -- traveled to beautiful Reykjavik where they each enjoyed passionate dates set against the backdrop of the Icelandic capital city's awe-inspiring landscapes. But it was here, amid the romance and breathtaking vistas, Clayton's journey to find love was about to take a dramatic turn.

With a possible engagement just a week away, the 28-year-old Eureka, Missouri, native admitted that he was possibly "falling in love" with all three women and might already be "in love" with Susie. He hoped that the overnight dates would help him find clarity.

"It's time to let my walls down," said, adding that he needed to "quit being guarded."

Unfortunately, he may have opened himself up a little too much when, after revealing to Susie that he'd already been intimate with both Rachel and Gabby and told each lady that he was in love with them, she said she couldn't share his love with anyone else and therefore couldn't move toward an engagement.

Clayton believed Susie's bombshell announcement so late in the game left him with no other choice but to send her home and wonder if he should pack it in as well.

"My heart's not in it," he declared. "It's over."

"The Bachelor" returns with a two-night season 26 finale Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
