On Friday, July 31, reports began surfacing that Clare quit the show after only 12 days of filming because she had fallen for one of her contestants. Clare reportedly fell in love with 31-year-old Dale Moss, whom she presented with her first-impression rose on night one. Us Weekly reported that producers had begun reaching out to "backup" contestants who weren't ultimately cast after being vetted for Clare's season and asked them "to come to La Quinta within 24 hours." According to Us Weekly's source, "when producers reached back out, out of the blue, it was very apparent that something had happened with production."
