We knew this was coming

Ever since the premiere episode of The Bachelorette, when host Jesse Palmer announced that there were “no rules” in this new experiment of having two Bachelorettes, and that stars Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey would be figuring it out themselves, it was obvious that this season was going to end in disaster.
So they embarked on a week of dates with the intention of splitting up the contestants. It should have been easy enough: Both of them seemed to have favorites already, and I would have liked to watch them talk it out, perhaps writing their choices on a large whiteboard while drinking Champagne. Unfortunately, this is not what the producers had in mind. Instead, they separated Gabby and Rachel and set them up to get rejected by the men as many times as possible.
Gabby’s one-on-one date started out fine: She brought Erich, a 29-year-old real-estate analyst from New Jersey, to a sound bath and a bowling alley with her grandpa John, who became a much-beloved character on the last season of The Bachelor. The tears came later, however, when Gabby and Erich retreated to a private outdoor dinner. Here, Erich told her that he idolizes his parents, “soul mates” who are still married and very much in love.
Sadly, things only got more complicated for Gabby from there. On the franchise’s largest group date in history — two women, 19 men — Gabby was rejected no fewer than three times. During cocktail-party conversations that producers no doubt engineered, Jacob, Tyler, and Hayden all told her they were actually more interested in Rachel. Hayden, a “leisure executive” from Tampa twisted the knife by remarking that Rachel was a nice girl and Gabby was more “rough around the edges.
