Monday night's episode of TheBachelorette felt like a big step forward for the franchise. allierileyjones writes
Photo: Craig Sjodin/ABC On last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, our leading ladies’ journeys to find love diverged in the most obvious way yet. While Rachel Recchia, the 26-year-old flight instructor, bounced around from contestant to contestant in sunny Amsterdam, following the typical fantasy rhythms of the show, Gabby Windey, the 31-year-old ICU nurse, took a different path.
This was sad, obviously, but also remarkable, as Bachelor Nation shows so rarely allow for their stars to express anything other than the expected “I’m here to find love, get married, and start a family.” Gabby, meanwhile, was straightforward with Nate and explained herself clearly. “It’s gonna get harder, and I never want to say good-bye, but I think we’re just in two different places in our lives,” she said through tears. “I’m terrified of not just being a mom but being bad at it.
The rest of the episode, however, snapped back to the normal rhythms of the show. Rachel trotted off on her one-on-one date through the tulip-dotted countryside with Zach, a 25-year-old “tech executive” from L.A., sipping Champagne in another pop-up hot tub and making out in the Rijksmuseum. She took the rest of her contestants on a group date in Amsterdam that involved pointless feats of strength like lifting up large wheels of cheese while shirtless.
In the end, Rachel offered roses — and, thus, hometown dates — to four men: Zach, Aven, Tyler, and Tino, the last of whom is getting very angsty about not being crowned the winner of the show already.
