We missed our flight in New York. It was just a mess,” she said. “So I land, I can’t go to sleep and I’m watching BBC. They’re all like ‘Hillary [Clinton] is going to win by this’ and you can just tell everything changes. And you’re like ‘Oh great. It’s going to be Trump?’ No one can believe it. It was so bad.” Michael Yada/ABC She added, “I had my date the next day, and I couldn’t get in the right head space. I drank a lot. I passed out in the Fantasy Suite. This is my first time actually saying that. I just went to sleep. We had no talking that night.” Lindsay clarified that she did not have sex with Viall. “I did nothing! I did nothing but sleep,” she revealed. “I got my best sleep in the Fantasy Suite!” RELATED VIDEO: Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo Open Up About Wedding Plans and How Many Kids They Want!
