No, she’s NOT from Pilot Pete’s season, in fact Clare hasn’t appeared on The Bachelor since 2014 where she was very memorably dumped by then contestant Juan Pablo. Clare appeared on Bachelor in Paradise where she didn’t find love AND The Bachelor Winter Games where she did…but it didn’t last. She’d gotten engaged to Benoit Beausejour-Savard only to split with him 2 months later. At 38 years old, Clare is the oldest Bachelorette in the show’s 17-year history.
