AceShowbiz - Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey made decision regarding their own separate paths in the Monday, July 25 episode of "The Bachelorette". Instead of dating the men at the same time, the two presented individual roses to the men whom they wanted to pursue. It was a rough week for both of the leading ladies as they faced rejection from some of the men.
During a group date with Hayden Markowitz, Jacob Rapini and Tyler Norris, the three of them told Gabby that they wanted to pursue Rachel instead of her. Hayden said that Gabby was too "rough around the edges" for him. Not stopping there, Jacob told her that he wouldn't continue being on the show if Gabby was the only Bachelorette.
Unsurprisingly, the comments hurt Gabby's feelings and left her in tears. "I've been freaking out all week that I'm not good enough to be the Bachelorette and then Hayden tells me he feels his morals more align with Rachel," Gabby admitted. "And being called 'rough around the edges' definitely hurts. It's a fear. I think these guys are coming to me saying because I'm different they don't want to be with me is validating that I'm too much for people."
Meanwhile, Aven Jone received a group date rose from Rachel. Rachel was shocked when she found out that Gabby decided not to give out a rose. The ladies then decided to go their own separate ways in their journey of finding love by giving out roses to the men they were individually interested in at the Rose Ceremony.
Gabby chose Nate Mitchell, Johnny DePhillipo, Spencer Swies, Michael Vaughan, Jason Alabaster, Mario Vassall, Kirk Bryant and Quincey Williams. They all accepted the roses. As for Rachel, she presented the roses to Tino Franco and Logan Palmer. She also gave it to Termayne Harper and Alec Marza, but the two of them rejected her roses.
"It was so embarrassing because it was in front of everyone," Rachel shared. "It was really surprising because I didn't think Termayne and Gabby had that strong of a connection. Getting rejected is humiliating, but I feel like I owe it to myself to prove that I can be strong enough to hold it together for the rest of the rose ceremony."
She continued with her picks which included Ethan Kang and Jordan Helman, who accepted her roses. However, James "Meatball" Clarke rejected her. The whole thing upset Rachel that she and Gabby walked out of the rose ceremony. "I just feel so bad and so rejected," Rachel said. "It was private [for you] but it's so embarrassing in public. This was supposed to be us taking the power back. Now I look stupid to everyone who has my rose."
Rachel then returned to offer her final rose to Hayden and he accepted it. Before the episode ended, Meatball came back after changing his mind. As he asked Rachel for a second chance, viewers have to wait for the next episode to find out Rachel's decision.
