For the first one-on-one date of the season, Susie and Clayton took a romantic helicopter ride over Los Angeles before sitting in a hot tub on a yacht.

Clayton said he was definitely feeling Susie because she came across down to earth, genuine and humble, and he suggested Susie had surpassed his expectations and he liked her adventurous side and confidence.

"I am seeing who you are, and I really do like what I see," Clayton told Susie, before telling the cameras that they were in the process of developing something "very special."

That night over a romantic dinner, Clayton said in a confessional that it felt "right" with Susie and he thought her true colors were "beautiful," and the couple only grew closer when dancing to a private concert by Amanda Jordan.

"If he's feeling the way I'm feeling, I could totally see myself falling in love with him," Susie noted.

Could Susie end up winning Clayton's heart and be the last woman standing? At this point in the season, Clayton seems pretty smitten with her.

Until viewers get to know Susie better on the show and can watch her romance with Clayton progress, let's learn a little bit about this The Bachelor bachelorette right now.

Susie recalled her mother sleeping by her father's bedside when he was battling in the ICU, and she said she wants that type of relationship for herself and she's extremely grateful for her parents.
