Bachelorette 19 - Gabby Windey - Rachel Recchia - F1-F6 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

So, I am supposed to hang Erich out to dry for dating someone prior and possibly going into this show looking for an opportunity? Ummm, please say HELLO to every prior Lead who made the choice to become the Bach/Bachette and then proceeded to “fall in love” with F2 people at the same time; sometimes sleeping with both just days before an engagement. My friends, this is what makes up Bachelor Nation.

Does Gabby going on DWTS scream she wants to get back to real life, settle down, get married and have kids?

If he sees a lot more potential with Gabby, so be it. As for the blackface, that was just dumb. But I'm not going to get worked up about it. I figure it's on Gabby to determine if the relationship is for the long run.

I'm also tired of ex-girlfriends (boyfriends also) trying to get the spotlight, revenge, and possibly sympathy and wait until the moment where it might do the most harm. If it's something serious then maybe you should talk about it before the show is already shot and the publicity is starting. It's hard to know what their angle is by waiting. JMO

I will say it sits wrong with me that girlie was like “if he tries to downplay the relationship I’ll release more texts” like honey….. the public now knows what happened/what he did and can judge it as such… some people are already calling her the bitter ex and if she keeps this going she’s just gonna add to that narrative.

Personally, at this point, I feel like gabby could do better than Erich but if they’re happy, happy for them. We’ll have to see how it shakes out

@Bachhh022 I'm with you on Gabby and Erich. I never warmed up to him. I liked her with Jason and well

She only dated him for 2.5 months. Why she's even commenting on this is beyond me. It comes off as a bid for attention.

@amethyst I agree. Whether you like Erich or not, the ex now seems to just want the attention she is accusing him of going after.

I have been married for 24 years, if someone approached me and said, “hey, come on TV, you get to travel to all kinds of countries and have fun for 6 weeks” I might be tempted to take them up on it  I guess I would get accused of being there for all the wrong reasons though

@amethyst and @locoforbach I totally agree with both of you regarding this

I did not know that. Now my opinion is even worse.

I don't know the whole story, just what I read here and probably forgot, but maybe I'm tired of all the ex's that come out of the woodwork after the fact. Maybe they were hurt maybe they were treated wrongly, but imo it should be dealt with directly with the person involved and not run to RS. Now it's a he said she said, and who's to know who's telling the whole truth.

Curious.... do you think Hannah was wrong to break it off with Jed?

I've heard it argued that the only diff between Erich and Jed is that Erich's ex was smart enough to try to end things with E. before he left (although that didn't stop him from sending her flowers etc....)

It was different Jed and Hayley - now Hannah's sister in-law were longer together before he went to filming.

Do you think GAbby and Erich are still together? And if they are, do you think they are going to address the black face and the ex texts?

I think they are still together and engaged. I hope that's the truth. I don't think they need to address the ex texts that was a very short relationship.

I honestly think that ex was fame hungry
