Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchiaâaka our fave Bach Nation duoâare back at it again in a majorly iconic crossover with this season's current Bachelorette, Charity Lawson. Yep, the former co-leads on the series visited during Charity's finale and shared a series of candid, behind-the-scenes pics that were pure ~vibes~.
One image showcases Gabby holding a bottle of champagne while Rachel reapplies her lip gloss in a dressing room, and another is a pic of the pilot in a bathing suit with a veeeeeeery recognizable black modesty box covering the bottoms...đ
Luckily, fans were definitely able to piece together what the âtell a friend to tell a friend!!!!â caption and that scarily familiar box were alluding to, because Rachel is actually set to appear in the next season of *drumroll, pls* Bachelor in Paradise!! Yep, during Monday night's Bachelorette season finale, fans were finally able to take a first look at the season 9 trailer for the show courtesy of the franchise's host, Jesse Palmer. And let's just say...we def get the vibe that the show going to live up to its chaotic rep. đ
Gabby seemingly confirmed the exciting news by way of a supportive comment on Rachel's post that reads, âMy whole heart!! Canât wait to see you on that beach.â Gabby won't be filming alongside her former co-star on the Bach-spinoff, but we'll forgive her because she recently gave her final rose to a very special someoneâlike, someone who even made an appearance in Rachel's photo dump if ya look closely. đ
Earlier this month, the former Bachelorette captioned a sweet tribute to her new girlfriend, comedian and television writer Robby Hoffman. âTold you Iâm a girls girl!!,â Gabby captioned the post, which included several snaps of the her and Robbyâwhom she's been dating for around three monthsâhanging out on a tropical vacation, lounging on a boat, and generally looking happy beyond belief.
Soon after posting the pics, Gabby stopped by The View to share even more details about her exciting new romance and how it felt coming out publicly for the first time: âI always just want to live my truth, and my story,â she began. âAnd I have been seeing someone for a couple months, and Iâve been keeping it a little more private because it is a bigger story and a bigger conversation, because Iâm dating a girl.â
Clint Arlis, The Bachelorette Season 11
Clint caused drama during his stint on Kaitlyn Bristoweâs season because of his bromance with fellow contestant JJ Lane. Clint literally said at one point during the season, âI feel like Iâve connected with JJ probably more than Kaitlyn right now. Weâre so similar, itâs actually insane.â Their close bond didnât seem to sit well with the other guys.
JJ Lane, The Bachelorette Season 11
But JJ and Clintâs friendship was actually pretty short-lived. Like everyone else on this list, he made it clear early on that he was not on the show to make friends. He coined the catchphrase âvillains gotta vill,â which, yeah, doesnât even make sense.
Joe Bailey, The Bachelorette Season 11
Joe wasnât really a villain on Kaitlynâs season until she rejected him and things took a weird turn. He responded with âno worries, man,â which I hope we can all agree is suuuper passive-aggressive.
Ed Swiderski, The Bachelorette Season 5
During week 5 of Jillian Harrisâs season, Ed abruptly quit the show and leftâonly to return a week later. He made it all the way to the final episode and proposed to Jillian, but then rumors began to swirl that he had been cheating on her the whole time, and eventually, he admitted to them. Yikes.
Wes Hayden, The Bachelorette Season 5
Good ole Wes made it to the final four of Jillianâs season before she eliminated him. He didnât achieve ~villain status~ until his limo ride back, in which he spent the entire time bragging to the camera about secretly having a girlfriend at home. He claimed he was acting the whole time, which, sure.
Michelle Money, The Bachelor Season 15
Michelle has *deep* Bachelor experience, thatâs for sure. She was on season 15 of The Bachelor, season 2 of Bachelor Pad, and even won season 1 of Bachelor in Paradise. She earned villain status throughout for her frequent tiffs with other contestants.
Jordan Kimball, The Bachelorette Season 14
No one really enjoyed Jordan Kimball during his time on Becca Kufrinâs season. He argued constantly with the other contestants and was accused of being too into himself and his modeling career and not into Becca enough.
Juan Pablo Galavis, The Bachelor Season 18
I donât want to pick sides, but some people consider Juan Pablo to be the worst Bachelor in the history of the entire show. The dude clearly had commitment issues. He didnât seem to be romantically interested in any of the women, but that definitely didnât stop him from hooking up with a few of âem. Yuck.
Juan Pablo Galavis, The Bachelor Season 18
Sorry, nope, not done talking about him. Juan Pablo was so bad that Andi Dorfman broke up with him right before the finale. At the finale, Juan Pablo chose Nikki Ferrell, but in a break with Bachelor tradition, he didnât propose to her. Instead, he told her that he âliked her, a lot.â
Ryan Bowers, The Bachelorette Season 8
Men! Should! Not! Objectify! Women! Ryan Bowers must not have gotten that memo, as he told Bachelorette Emily Maynard that âevery man should believe his wife is a trophy.â Emily eliminated him during their date because, yep, his comment was that bad.
Trish Schneider, The Bachelor Season 5
Reality Steve crowned Trish the true first villain of The Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise, so you know itâs real. Might I remind you that this OG pot-stirrer wore a T-shirt that read, âGold Digger. Like a hooker, just smarter.â Oof.
Kalon McMahon, The Bachelorette Season 8
On Emilyâs season, Kalon apparently referred to her young daughter as âbaggage.â The other contestants let Emily know ASAP and Kalon was told by Emily herself to GTFO immediately. Boy, bye!
Olivia Caridi, The Bachelor Season 20
Olivia was one of Ben Higginsâ favorites initially, until she made a comment comparing fellow contestant Amanda Stanton to one of the stars of Teen Mom. The women were also not fans of her attitude and behavior, and they were visibly happy when she was eventually sent home.
Lee Garrett, The Bachelorette Season 13
Umm...aside from the fact that Lee bumped heads with so many other contestants, letâs not forget that he also posted some SUPER-racist tweets before appearing on the show?
Lee Garrett, The Bachelorette Season 13
A major confrontation went down during âThe Men Tell All,â when Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay called Lee TF out, saying, âPlease know that you can exit stage left and meet me backstage and Iâd be more than happy to give you a black history lesson, a lesson on womenâs rights.â Hell to the yes!!! Show that mansplainer whoâs boss.
Nick Viall, The Bachelorette Season 10
Nick is no longer considered a villain, but when he first appeared on season 10 of Bachelorette, he was definitely disliked. The other guys thought he was too confident, and he ended up hurting Andiâs feeling when he revealed details about what went down in the fantasy suite. Rude.
Nick Viall, The Bachelorette Season 11
Yes, Nick was on two different seasons of The Bachelorette and yes, he was disliked on both. He decided to literally just show up because he and Bachelorette Kaitlyn had been DMâing on social media. He, once again, had issues with the other guys and was responsible for a lot of the drama, sooo it seems like itâs definitely a him problem, if you ask me.
Kasey Kahl, The Bachelorette Season 6
Plain and simple, Kasey sucked during his time on Ali Fedotowskyâs season of The Bachelorette. But the worst part of his story is what happened after the show: He went on to date fellow Bachelor alum (and fellow villain!) Vienna Girardi. The two, unsurprisingly, did not have a smooth relationship.
Kelsey Poe, The Bachelor Season 19
Kelsey came on Chris Soulesâ season as a widow, which, of course, is super sad. But things took a weird turn when she told him about her tragic past and then reflected to the camera, saying, âIsnât my story amazing? Itâs tragic...but amazing.â Wait, wha...?
Rozlyn Papa, The Bachelor Season 14
Chris Harrison pulled Rozlyn aside for a straight-up awkward-as-hell confrontation that will forever go down in Bachelor history. It came to light that she was allegedly fooling around with a producer on set who, BTW, was also fired. Yeah, thatâs not exactly how this competition works.
Krystal Nielson, The Bachelor Season 22
On Arie Luyendyk Jr.âs season of The Bachelor, Krystal was dubbed âthe mean girlâ by the other women. She was accused of spending too much time with Arie and bullying the other contestants. Oh, and people were especially not fans of the baby voice she used.
Courtney Robertson, The Bachelor Season 16
Courtney made it clear when she was on Ben Flajnikâs season that she didnât join the show to make friends. She was there to win, and win she did. But not without making enemies along the way. The time she made Ben go skinny-dipping with her definitely goes down as her most âvillainousâ act.
Courtney Robertson, The Bachelor Season 16
Courtney was very aware that she was a villainâshe even hinted that it was her intention all along. After the show aired, she released a book about her villainous status called I Didnât Come Here to Make Friends. Sounds about right.
Justin Rego, The Bachelorette Season 6
Justin was known by his wrestling nickname, Rated R, for a reason. During Aliâs season, we learned that Justin actually had a girlfriend he was planning to marry once he got back from filming. When Ali confronted him about this, he literally just ran away.
Cam Ayala, The Bachelorette Season 15
ABC, Always Be Cam. That was Camâs catchphrase during Hannah Brownâs season, and he repeated it so often that it could never be forgotten. Cam was the worst because he crashed dates, told sob stories, and tried to get a âpity roseâ before he was ultimately shown the door.
Chad Johnson, The Bachelorette Season 12
Chad Johnson is one of those names Bachelor Nation will never forgetâfor better or for worse. He was disliked by the other guys on JoJo Fletcherâs season, probably because he insulted them with hilariously mean but also somewhat accurate observationsâfor example, he called them Care Bears, which, fair.
Chad Johnson, The Bachelorette Season 12
Chad also called out his fellow contestants who claimed to be in love with JoJo after only a few days, which, again, is kinda fair. He simply wasnât a fan of how the show worked, and that honesty was not well received, to put it mildly.
Tierra LaCausi, The Bachelor Season 17
Tierra bumped heads with so many contestants, but ish got real sticky when she unforgettably yelled about her âsparkleâ and that she âcanât control [her] eyebrow.â FYI: Someone literally created a Twitter account dedicated to her eyebrow, god bless the internet.
Jake Pavelka, The Bachelor Season 14
Viewers thought Jake was rude from the start. It didnât help matters that he chose Vienna, the seasonâs villain, to receive his final rose. Their very public breakup, which came later, confirmed everyoneâs hunch that he sucked.
Vienna Girardi, The Bachelor Season 14
Okay, so now letâs talk about Vienna, the winner and the villain of Jakeâs season. The other women vying for Jakeâs heart thought Vienna was super rude and had a major attitude problem. Go figure.
Ian Thompson, The Bachelorette Season 11
Ian had the gall to tell Kaitlyn that he thought she was on the show âto make out with a bunch of dudes on TV.â Like, dude, have you ever even watched this show?!?!?! He also said she was ânot half as hot as [his] ex-girlfriendâ while speaking directly to the camera, which is an extremely rude and bizarre thing to say.
Corinne Olympios, The Bachelor Season 21
Corinne was a special one. The then-22-year-old revealed that she had a nanny who basically did everything for her (which, huh?) and also uttered the following iconic line: âMy heart is gold, but my vagine is platinum.â Still LOLâing in confusion over here.
Corinne Olympios, The Bachelor Season 21
Corinne seemed to always be all over Nick, which made the other ladies jealous, of course. Remember when she asked him to lick whipped cream off her chest? Yeah, the other contestants were not too happy about that.
Jed Wyatt, The Bachelorette Season 15
Poor Hannah B. had many villains on her season, but Jedâs narrative arc came as a surprise to Bachelor Nation. He was originally a fan favorite, but halfway through the season, rumors surfaced that he *allegedly* had a girlfriend who he GHOSTED in order to come on the show. No, Jed, why?!
Bentley Williams, The Bachelorette Season 7
Bentley was super problematic. His most infamous quote is when he said heâd rather go âswimming in peeâ than have to plan a wedding with Ashley Herbert. He did several more f*cked-up things throughout his tenure, but that quote pretty much sums up what he was all about.
Bentley Williams, The Bachelorette Season 7
Bentleyâs exit from the show is even worse than his weird âpeeâ quote, if you can believe it. Before telling Ashley he was leaving the show because he was uninterested and not attracted to her, he told the cameras, âIâm going to make Ashley cry. I hope my hair looks okay.â WOW.
Arie Luyendyk Jr., The Bachelor Season 22
When Arie became the Bachelor for season 22, a lot of people responded with âUh, who?â Arie became super memorable at the end of his season when he chose Becca as the winner but then changed his dang mind. He even had a camera crew follow him so the whole breakup could be filmed and televised. In the promos, Chris Harrison called Arieâs finale âthe most dramatic of all time in Bachelor history.â
Luke Parker, The Bachelorette Season 15
Where to even begin with Luke P.? Should we talk about his outright misogyny? The way he gaslit Hannah throughout the season? His violence toward the other contestants? Ugh, hate this guy.
Luke Parker, The Bachelorette Season 15
How about when he crashed the rose ceremony after Hannah had eliminated him? He came back to beg for âclarityâ and âclosure.â Go away!!!
Luke Parker, The Bachelorette Season 15
Wait, not done yet. Luke P. totally tried to mansplain his actions during the âMen Tell Allâ special, securing his status as most delusional contestant in Bachelor(ette) history. Heâs legit the worst.
Gabby went on to say that though she initially kept the 'ship more private in the hopes of seeing where it would go before cluing fans in, she felt she could âsee the futureâ in the pairing. âIt just felt so right,â she added during the convo. âI was on dating shows dating men and a Broncos cheerleader, so it was like my whole world was male-gaze...Obviously, itâs about sexuality, but itâs also the person I met. Like, she is so special. She makes me feel so safe, so loved. Like a love that I always wanted going on these dating shows, so now itâs like, 'Yeah, exactly.'â
TL;DR: Gabby and Rachel stans have *a lot* to celebrate as of late. đâ€ïž
