Bachelorette 19 - Gabby Windey - Rachel Recchia - Media SM - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

This craziness this week and last is

Your Daily Roundup now up at: https://t.co/NJP0RlHMGh incl my conversation last night with Erich’s ex, more on the Rachel/Tino breakup, Zach is the next Bachelor, and meeting Kaitlyn at her wine launch.

I hope RS is wrong about Zach as next Bachelor. I'm so tired of bland white guys plus he's only 25. That means we'll probably have really young Bachelorettes. Why not Aven or even someone from a previous season?

Why not Zach and Aven - both classy gentlemen in my book.

Would love to see another season like Sean's - in the sense that the romance was real and genuine instead
of all the craziness.

If someone decides to listen to his podcast (RS) (I won't) can they please give us the clif notes version? What a crazy season. SMH as I haven't watched since Tayshia/Clare and the debacle that ended up being.

Don’t have time and don’t want to listen, but someone at Reddit did a recap.
According to the recap, after filming, Rachel said she wanted to return the ring and just date Tino and he was not happy so they stopped talking. During that time, Tino kissed a woman. That’s what they argued about at SHV.

Mods, please delete if it’s against the rule.

RS did a column where he talks about Erich's ex and the Rachel/Tino breakup. I actually liked that better than what he said on the podcast. He got a little more in-depth IMO.

Thanks @sdmom

Yes, maybe she was trying to hold it together at that moment and it was a nervous smile, but she treated Avon badly. I could maybe buy her excuse if she hadn't just done the same thing with Zach, but she did.  So, sorry Rachel. Not buying your BS.

Nick is such an a**hole, but what’s most annoying in this case is that he is right.
That, and the nerve to invite her to his podcast.

@sdmomThanks for the RS cliff note.  My sister has been visiting from PA and I just dropped her off at the airport.  I did watch Tues show but feel very behind on a lot of "late breaking"scoops.  So Rachel told Tino she wanted to date but Tino is the bad guy in the scenario.   I only know bits and pieces but it is sounding to me like Tino may be one of the lesser bad guys in the whole season.  I now get where the Rachel "we were on a break" stuff was coming from.

@suzqthanks, I'll go check that out.

If I were Tino, I'd be taken aback by her wanting to give back the ring. Nice that it's not all about "being engaged" - but what prompted her to feel this way ? Were there already issues in the relationship ? If she was feeling that she wasn't ready for the engagement - they should have talked about this - and made sure Tino understood her thoughts. Others in the past (ie Jesse Palmer) have not gotten engaged at the end. It sounds more likely that she wasn't as gaga over Tino as she had been - and wanted to cool things off a bit. Not a good feeling for Tino ....
