The Bachelorette Teases Clare's Exit and Tayshia's Entrance

To the surprise of no one, ABC appears to have confirmed that Clare Crawley did walk off The Bachelorette with Dale Moss, and that Tayshia Adams stepped in in her place.

In a first look clip released at the conclusion of Tuesday night's episode, we see a tearful Clare sitting down with Chris Harrison, who warns her she's "blowing up the Bachelorette," leaving all the other bachelors high and dry. Wait did someone say dry? Cut to a very wet Tayshia Adams emerging from the pool.

The Bachelorette returns on a special night next Thursday November 5th on ABC.
