''Bachelor in Paradise': Sam's departure from Clayton's season sparks questions about his exit from 'The Bachelor'

"Bachelor in Paradise" contestant Samantha Jeffries unexpectedly joins the cast after self-eliminating on "The Bachelor." Viral summary: "Find out why Samantha left 'The Bachelor' and what medical treatment she undergoes on 'Bachelor in Paradise'!"

Samantha "Sam" Jeffries took everyone by surprise when she joined the cast of "Bachelor in Paradise" season 9. Unlike the other contestants, Sam didn't leave a lasting impression during her short stint on Clayton Echard's season of "The Bachelor." In fact, host Jesse Palmer even pretended to be confused about who Sam was and why she was heading to the beach in the first episode of the spinoff.

Let's take a closer look at what transpired between Sam and Clayton during their time on "The Bachelor." Sam made quite the entrance, being wheeled in while sitting in a giant portable bubble bath, sipping champagne, and donning a black bikini. Her pickup line for Clayton was: "Want some of this bubbly personality?" However, viewers didn't see much of Sam after her entrance, and it was later revealed that she chose to eliminate herself on the first night, along with two other women.

Sam later shared her decision in an Instagram post, which seems to have been edited since then. According to the original post, Sam wrote that she had a private conversation with Clayton on the first night and found him to be attentive, charming, and kind. However, she believed that a romantic connection was crucial in a relationship, and she didn't want to force something that she wasn't feeling. Sam wanted to be fair to both Clayton and another woman who was genuinely invested in their connection.

If we fast forward to the present, Sam is now set to appear on the upcoming season of "Bachelor in Paradise." However, it seems that the producers haven't quite finished portraying her in a lighthearted manner. The teaser for season 9 of "Paradise" reveals that Sam will require medical treatment after not having a bowel movement for nine days.

Despite the ups and downs she experienced on "The Bachelor," Sam has bounced back and is ready to give love another chance on "Bachelor in Paradise." It remains to be seen what the future holds for her in the world of reality TV romance.
