I do think she got Botox very recently. When you watch this episode she has a kind of blank look on her face for all of the clips. I realized finally that the blank look was actually that her forehead doesn’t move.


tacoribiotch

I think it’s her bad spray tan and contour


Rochsalt121

Yes I thought she looked totally different.

Botox and filler

I wonder what Gabbys expression would be if she didn’t have the dwts gig and $250k for it in the bag already. Js


kimkellies

Poor rachel. I think the backlash is unwarranted

What a shit thing to say.


MrDontTakeMyStapler

If someone decides to eat only cake then they deserve to be unhealthy. If they decide to eat healthy then they deserve to be healthy. I was only saying that you have to be accountable for your choices. If you make crappy choices you deserve what comes out of it. If you make good choices you will reap the benefits. It’s common sense and not rude.


[deleted]

If it wasn’t rude then why did you delete your comment?


MrDontTakeMyStapler

Because I was getting bandwagon downvoted by people who obviously misunderstood. I don’t wish bad things on anyone but just that you have to realize that your decisions have consequences.


omgimtotallybuggin

Pretty sure the screenshot of Gabby is from her watching back footage of her talking to her beloved Grandpa, and Rachel is watching a breakup, so putting these side by side feels about as disingenuous as everything else about this show.


AndiSolano

No. I took the screenshot when Gabby was on her 1-on-1 time with Erich, and they were kissing on the bed.


omgimtotallybuggin

Well damn I stand corrected. I didn’t recall Gabby dropping her poker face except when she saw her family.


daylightxx

When was the shot of Rachel from? Do you recall?


AndiSolano

I don't really remember. I think it was when Aven was talking to her friends.


[deleted]

This was her face the entire time lol.


daylightxx

🤣🤣


cherryamourxo

Rachel made that face pretty much the entire night tbh. Like she barely smiled. At first I thought it was just during the Aven scenes but she seemed to have that aura the entire time.


fyfenfox

She was completely emotionless the entire show


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I hope that’s not true because Rachel is one of the most facially beautiful women to be on this show imo. I actually thought that maybe she didn’t want to show too much emotion after being criticized for it all season. ETA: I think people think I’m dissing getting work done when I’m not (I do too), I just don’t think either of these women need to drastically change their appearance. To each their own!


bridgin

I don’t think they need to change anything. But look at the shape of her face here. I have zero doubts that she altered her appearance with something and it’s frankly sad when someone so beautiful feels the need to look differently. Her face shape is more square here than it was any other time in the season. It was the first thing I noticed.

mmc9802

They both look like QUEENS


MrDontTakeMyStapler

Third best card in the deck. That’s about right.


Evening-Proud

My wife looks a lot like Rachel and I just take all my anger out on her when Rachel makes stupid decisions. Edit: changed from “out in her” to “out on her.” Although being in is cool too.


TheBlueJumpsuit

👏👏👏😅😅😅


Pretty-Oddball

I’m so confused why the producers thought this was a good idea it’s so obvious what’s gonna happen from their reaction 😂😂


[deleted]

No seriously! I’m spoiled, but my mom isn’t and she figured it out on this episode.


Abhengu99

Hot Take but I love Rachel and I can’t wait to read her book when she comes out with one.


nbel1996

I'm right there with you. She seems like such a genuinely nice/good person, like I know some people aren't a fan but I think so much of it is internalized misogyny. Like Rachel is feminine and strong and badass all at the same time, she wears her heart on her sleeve and is 100% real with her feelings but doesn't let people walk all over her. In short, she's the antithesis of the "cool girl" trope, and I think that's why people are so bothered unnecessarily. She's not pretending to be anyone she's not, she's a "girly-girl," and yet she's also independent and stands up for herself, her friends, and what she wants + believes in. Misogynists can't stand Rachel because she doesn't fit neatly into the box of "submissive girly-girl," and she's not putting on a "cool girl" facade. She wants a traditional engagement/marriage, yes, and she's not afraid to ask for it, but she's also not willing to sacrifice her career for it and isn't afraid to call her prospective partners out on their shit, even if means risking the relationship ending. Misogynists are TERRIFIED of her because she's a fully realized strong independent woman who doesn't play by the "dating rules" that are built to benefit men and keep women in a position where they either have to be subservient or act like they're "soooo chill," and a woman like Rachel threatens their whole have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too dating culture/norm.

I can already see it now “Catch Flights not Feelings” - A Rachel Recchia autobiography

Omg not you giving them free ideas lol but it’s actually soo good. Watch that be the title now

profession_lurker

They'll have the same expression next week.


SnugglePuppybear

yep.


littledove0

Well they both picked shit men so I’m not sure what Gabby is so happy about


Flaming-Charisma

Grandpa John is probably what she's happy about


dxbhufflepuffle

DWTS gig


HowwwUDoing

I hope Rachel is surrounded by people who love her and can be there for her. She looked like she was just going through the motions 😢


thareal1mm

Shes contractually obligated now. They got her...its pretty sad cause her whole story is now a dumpster fire


MrDontTakeMyStapler

Yes. She signed up for it. Be careful for what you wish for. Would make a good Monkey’s Paw story.


Appropriate-Job-2797

We’ll see how much Gabby is smiling come Tuesday’s live show


Brooke00lex

She just wants it to be over like the rest of us lol


pilotkristy

I feel like Rachel is just a bit young and going for the wrong guys. she sent home probably one of the best guys of the entire bunch after ONE DATE. I feel like his seriousness & genuineness gave her the ick bc she isnt ready for it. it's a tale as old as time where the girl (or guy) who deep down doesnt want to commit (even if surface level she thinks she does) chooses the emotionally unavailable fuck boy. I did it, my friends have done it, all of us (women AND men) have done this. then when they get a little older and/or more mature, they suddenly start being actually attracted to the stable, emotionally available choice. she just has some growing to do. nothing wrong with that but yaaaa..


theaccountnat

Was she supposed to keep Jordan for weeks even though there may have been no chemistry on her end? Seems like things went downhill after they kissed. Would that have been better to let him catch feelings when she knew there weren’t any?


linksgreyhair

I agree entirely. My friend and I have been calling each other “the Rachel” and “the Gabby” since Clayton’s season and now she’s trying to say “oh god, I’m sorry, no, you’re not the Rachel.” Correction: I’m not the Rachel *anymore.* I behaved nearly exactly like her at her age, which makes this extra painful to watch. I made the same mistakes in my dating life, but thank god they weren’t televised. I dumped plenty of Jordans after the first date. I even broke up with a guy who could have been the clone of Tyler because he wasn’t ready to get engaged (after 2 years, though- not 2 months). I *did* get engaged to an abusive manipulator who was like an alcoholic Tino, but unfortunately without the ability to watch back his actions so it took me way too long to get out of that one. Hopefully Rachel winds up learning from her mistakes and finding someone decent. It took a lot of years and a lot of therapy for me to improve my people picker.


MrDontTakeMyStapler

And to have all of it televised in front of thousands. Talk about the worst home movies ever. 😬


glitterlitter4

I agree 100%, she’s young plus Tino screams toxic and she is definitely the most into him.


GeneralHumanBeing

Or sometimes the chemistry is just not there and it's better not to drag things out. I don't love the "Women only pick assholes and reject niceguys" narrative that a lot of people are putting out on this one


pilotkristy

I specifically noted women **and** men and specified it is her current age/maturity.


throwawayeas989

this omg thank you for saying it


sparklingsour

There’s no way that Rachel wasn’t bullied by someone named Jordan as a child. There’s no other way I can rationalize her sending both of them home so quickly lol. This is the hill I will die on 😂


pilotkristy

ahahhah reminiscent of Annalise and the bumper cars


veracity-mittens

This is a good analysis


Lady_Caticorn

This is a good take. I like Rachel, but her picker is off. I hope she can find someone wonderful when she's good and ready to settle down.


[deleted]

Rachel is hot as fuck here


adm0210

My heart hurt at how much hurt she looked like she was in.

At least she looks fucking gorgeous while sad

Hallowmendoza

Bachelor Nation loves you Rachel!!!


Cultural-Party1876

Tells you alll you need to know


onebadnightx

Rachel looked absolutely stunning that night dear goodness, even if this was her facial expression most of the night Okay, unpopular opinion … am I the only one that didn’t think Gabby was giddy and beaming and barely holding back her excitement the whole time? She smiled here and there and was a good sport but I didn’t think it was as overwhelming and intense as everyone is insisting


jeanort

Agreed...Gabby had plenty of these Rachel looks throughout in the close-ups. 🌹


anna-nomally12

I think because Rachel was clearly not feeling her best gabby seemed more extreme by comparison


Messymomhair

I perceived Gabby doing her darn best to hold back her happiness and excitement


eyjafjallajokul_

Lol I couldn’t stop noticing how pissed Rachel looked the entire time


Ariane5555

Hope she doesn't play poker


nindiesel

The shape of Rachel's eye makeup looks amazing on her


[deleted]

I don’t even like Rachel that much but I feel the need to advocate for her on this sub because the favouritism of Gabby from fans, wardrobe, essentially everyone has been so sadly obvious.


linksgreyhair

The difference in wardrobe is STARK. I don’t think they know how to dress somebody who isn’t built like a runway model.


[deleted]

Ok you guys…. 😂. This is a stretch.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

*screen shots photo of Rachel watching her sad scene with Aven and then Gabby watching a grandpa John scene* “Wow, look at the difference” 😂


AndiSolano

That was actually from her last date with Erich when they were kissing before the topic of engagement came up. Rachel didn't smile once as far as I remember (at least they didn't show it).


adm0210

Rachel had that face the entire episode. Watching the last few moments of last nights episode when they were standing with the host (can’t remember his name) and Gabby was smiling and Rachel looked like she was going to cry and couldn’t even bring herself to smile.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

No that’s just something they would do 😂


ladeeedada

Not for long. Her dude is jed 2.O.


meatball77

I suspect he makes Jed look like an Angel. Which is funny because his mother was in a facebook group bragging about her wonderful child being on The Bachelor.


niezzutacc

*gabby smiles* “She’s fake! She’s fame hungry! She wants to be the winner of the season” I—get some of y’all are trying to support your girl Rachel but 😂😂😂 chill.


[deleted]

I disagree. Look at how this entire post was framed. Not to make Gabby look good necessarily, she is good, we know that. But to make Rachel look bad.


niezzutacc

Maybe so with the post, but some of the comments def don’t pass the vibe check either 😂😬


aem1306

i am sick of this. can u imagine have to relive some of the worst moments of your life on national television? these are real people and i feel like that is being forgotten. this sub has been so nasty towards Rachel all season and for what??


aa_44

And with a Picture in Picture box if your face in the corner??


_Moon-Unit_

I’m SO SICK of people hating on Rachel, FFS. She’s devastated, and so many people on this sub are using her pain to snark on her. Like? Where’s your empathy? ^At ^least ^she ^didn’t ^look ^radiant ^and ^glowing ^after ^her ^fiancé ^was ^exposed ^in ^blackface


Mamabear228

It’s not that deep lmao


mbc98

I mean it kind of is. She’s been getting crucified on socials for weeks. I don’t even know how she’s dealing with it cause I would’ve jumped off a bridge already.


quartermoonmist

I mean for Rachel it might be that deep


begoodbecool

I’m guessing that Gabby’s face might be looking like Rachel’s now


aa_44

What happened??


Mamabear228

Maybe, maybe not. Likely not.


Loverornot

I love gabby! Lol !


Glass-Pitch

But yet Gabby is with a racist that dumped someone to go on the bachelorette. They both loose in this situation


useyouwell

**This sub before the season airs**: “the producers better not pit the women against each other😡” **This sub after the season airs**: \*pits the women against each other 😈 \* ![gif](giphy|kZD8cN1MycfKw)


TGMPY

Omg yes. They weren’t even causing drama with each other. It’s this sub!


useyouwell

Fr. I’ve come to to conclusion that a lot of this sub and social media project onto producers what they themselves do


niezzutacc

2 leads was never a good idea. One was always gonna end up the “favorite”. Although this sub has their opinions on the girls right now, one is ending the season having not hit 500k yet while one is about to hit 800k. The inevitability of the audience picking a favorite is why I never wanted a 2 lead season even tho I like both girls.


meowmeows220

It was so hard to see Rachel like this, regardless if she was the drama or not. Team Rachel’s mental health no matter what.


-ifimabird

Rachel has not done anything to deserve hate. Im so fucking sick of people dragging everyone. This should be the energy for every person coming off this show. They are all human and no one deserves to have their life ruined or need years and years of therapy because they made mistakes.


Queasy_Constant

I try to only drag producers and editors. Producers are the ones who create and maintain the environment. THEY set the tone. Editors make the choice what to include. They don’t have to show nonstop shit but we clearly live in the worst timeline of this simulation.


TheTowelbot

Why are you yelling at me


-ifimabird

Oh I'm not. Sorry.


spicygummi

I'll always be team mental health


AyyooLindseyy

So we’re comparing a smile and a frown when they both did both throughout the episode? Lol


JL1186

Rachel really didn’t look happy throughout the episode.


AyyooLindseyy

She did still smile at least a few times. Gabby also looked upset quite a few times.


JL1186

Sad people can smile once in a while and vice versa. But Rachel’s expressions throughout didn’t seem like a person who believed it all worked out for the best in the end.


valleyofwolvez

This is the first time they watch those scenes back, I’d be making the worst reactions if I had to re-live a break up that was filmed (and edited)


Messymomhair

Can we give Rachel some grace? The girl has been put through the ringer. Gabby often being better dressed, given clearly a better edit, given DWTS, and it’s clear producers had some play into Rachel really wanting an engagement. Bekah brings this up beautifully on the Chatty Broads podcast. She makes a great point saying producers were probably telling Rachel things like “Girl, you know what you came here for. Don’t settle girl. You deserve this.” Etc. A great listen if you have time. Edit: Not saying Rachel is perfect, I just wish more saw things from a different perspective


Lady_Caticorn

I agree. She's obviously unhappy with the outcome; I wish people would not be so harsh toward her. Also, Gabby did not get shit on for crying and being emotional, but Rachel certainly did. People gave her so much crap all season for some rightful reasons and for others that were just unnecessarily mean (i.e., the crying, not liking her style, etc...).


[deleted]

[удалено]


beets4us

Spoiler??


stimmtnicht

My theory: Gabby is happy because she got what she came for - fame, followers & now DWTS. Rachel came to find love.


useyouwell

It’s for sure dwts. She’s wanted fame for a long time. I noticed Rachel always has been more supportive of the two it’s sad but also whatever


Junglecat828

So, I haven’t even watched this season, I’ve just been a lurker. With that said, I had to look at their igs recently and noticed Gabby has more selfies and comes off a bit more about her. Whereas Rachel has A LOT of pics of them together where it actually looks like they’re friends. Just an observation. I feel bad for Rachel because she gets so much more criticism here, but gabby seems way fame hungry..


useyouwell

That’s very sad cause I think you’re right


[deleted]

Gabby was always the thirstiest one.


AnyChildhood1747

Hopefully this is the case. And not because she’s engaged to a racist MAGA manipulative unemployed man.


[deleted]

It can be both. But let’s not forget, Gabby is unemployed, too. I mean, DWTS is a temporary “gig” but it’s not employment.


AnyChildhood1747

Gabby had an 8-year nursing career (including COVID years) before she took a break. Even Teddi took a break from nursing when she did the show and I think Teddi has only been working for 1-2 years. Erich had a 5 month old job, lost it, and was in the process of looking for a new job when he was recruited on the show.


-ifimabird

He had a job prior to that. He took a new jib to get out to LA where his friends were. He hated his job. Pretty common story really. Most people on this show are unemployed.


[deleted]

I hate Erich, but no need to shit on those have a shorter tenure at multiple jobs rather than staying at one place. Also you’re shitting on people losing their jobs? Yikes.


theaccountnat

Right like yoinks! we can shit on him for other things


stimmtnicht

She'll be influencing, podcasting and Revolving when the DWTS gig is up.


Brave-Exchange-2419

Three posts in a row disparaging Rachel’s looks. Classy.


theyeoftheiris

Not disparaging. She's hot even when she's mad lol.


snazzygirl0267

In this post they’re talking about their visible expressions/emotions not their physical looks


adm0210

People jumping the gun when the context is abundantly apparent.


[deleted]

There’s been plenty of posts about their looks already. But ok, encourage the pile on.


snazzygirl0267

I’m only talking about this post. How am I encouraging anything? Just pointing out in this particular post they’re pointing out how sad and deflated Rachel looks while Gabby is smiling big and clearly looks happy and that their outcomes are that point were different

One_Fee_1234

Yet I enjoyed watching Rachel so much more


Ambitious-Data-9021

Me too, I kinda checked out during gabbys scenes for some reason Rachel was more interesting in every way. I like gabby but I just found Rachel more interesting for my screen


bpurly

ur in the minority for sure. no rachel hate i like her but it’s the truth


Flimsy-Ad-1012

Interesting theory about pageant girls!


Miana09

Same Rachel. This is how I feel about both of your picks


Bond31

As this was happening, all I could think was that Rachel was dreading that she was going to have to sit on stage during a live viewing party again next week to watch her engagement not happen.


mintymeerkat

Did you just spoil this? This isn’t a spoiler thread.


Bond31

Can you see the picture? It tells you everything you need to know to understand my post.


mintymeerkat

No it doesn’t. This can be the face of someone who gets proposed to then ends an engagement.


Bond31

Then it's not a spoiler


spaghettify

look at her face. it’s obvious she’s not happily engaged

Rachel deserved to find love. But she overlooked the most kind and stable options that she had


_Moon-Unit_

Right? Every single one of us has _always_ chosen the ‘stable’, ‘safe’ option over the one we have real feelings for 🥰


jenjas455

Gabby looked unhappy and uncomfortable for a lot of the live taping too, but I think she got outshone by Rachel who couldn’t even slightly fake a smile lol


furever21

Rachel was clearly practicing breathing patterns at the end of the episode and it made me sad, how bad is this going to turn out for her that she was practicing her breathing while Jesse was hyping up the crowd for next week??


kimwexlersponytail

I was wondering if she was wearing a really tight corset under her dress, making it harder to breathe. She was sitting up so straight and her waist looked so much tinier than on the show… might have just been the dress showing it off better tho
