Rachel and Gabby Enter the Room
The night gets more dramatic, times two, with Gabby and Rachel joining the reunion.
The Bachelorettes are reunited with their old flings, saying it feels like they never left. Rachel recognizes Roby’s hair change as Roby jokingly asks if he would have been kept on the show with blonde hair.
As far as the two women doing the season together, they wouldn’t have done the show any other way, telling Jesse, “the support we have given each other is something that people in our position haven’t been able to receive before … it made the experience that much better.”
Despite Gabby and Rachel feeling great about finding their forever together, they did address how tricky dating the same man is.
Jesse goes back in time, asking the women about their first impression rose, with Rachel giving a rose to Tino and Gabby giving a rose to Mario. Gabby blames what went wrong between her and Mario on having two bachelorettes, feeling like he originally wanted to bond with Rachel.
Jacob takes accountability for his actions to Gabby, saying it took him watching the show to realize his unfortunate behavior, and later apologizes for his actions.
Jesse asks Rachel about her date with Jordan, saying it seemed like the perfect match. Rachel explains that there was a connection in the beginning, but her biggest fear was having anyone feel as if they were being strung along and apologized for what happened. The bachelorette confessed that sending Jordan home was a tough decision.
Rachel confronts Logan, telling him she felt hurt by his decision after leaving her heart open, wishing he was honest from the start. Logan responds by saying that he was looking for the perfect time to tell the bachelorettes about his change of heart, regretting that they didn’t have a conversation earlier. Rachel later apologizes to Ethan, Meatball, and Tyler about their canceled group date.
Rachel addresses her feelings about sending Tyler home, saying that she knows how important family is to him and the level she needed to be for him emotionally at the time wasn’t there. Tyler accepts the bachelorette’s reasonings, telling her that she handled it with class.
Nate and Gabby come full circle, appreciating the time they had together, with Gabby admiring his character, saying that he was a leader for the rest of the men.
Despite the twists and turns, it’s safe to say the bachelorettes wouldn’t have done this experience any other way.
