Wednesday 14 September 2022 06:44 AM The Bachelorette: Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia both learn their suitors are ... trends now

Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia both came to the same shocking revelation that they might not receive proposals on Tuesday's live finale of The Bachelorette.

The first part of the two-part finale featured Gabby, 31, and Rachel, 26, in front of a live studio audience with host Jesse Palmer, 43, as they watched their final suitors meet their families in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

'He just has everything that I've even looked for in someone,' said Gabby in a confessional of her remaining suitor Erich Schwer, 29, a real estate agent from Bedminster, New Jersey. 'I really, really, really hope at the end that he's proposing to me.'

Erich told her he truly loved her, but wanted to first date her in the real world.

'Getting engaged before that happens is not how things usually go,' Erich said. 'I'm sorry if this has been upsetting.'

Gabby stormed out of the room and told a producer what Erich said.

'I don't want anyone to be forced,' Gabby said. 'He said ''I want to date you.'' That's what he said.'

'I want to be with Erich forever,' Gabby said in a confessional. 'I want him to propose. So here we are, a big fat dumpster fire.'

The season 19 show opened with Rachel standing with two roses on the table in front of Zach Shallcross, 25, of Anaheim, California; Aven Jones, 28, a sales executive from San Diego; and Tino Franco, 28, a general contractor from the Playa del Rey area of Los Angeles.

Before she could hand out the roses, Zach pulled her aside. He told her that their Fantasy Suite date seemed a little off. Zach said he also felt blindsided by her concerns about his age.

'I did really love you,' Zach said. 'I saw a future with you but I need to go.'

'I truly need you to know that I wish I could have gotten there,' Rachel said.

Rachel walked Zach out and he got into a waiting car and left.

'Over just like that,' Zach said as the car drove away. 'This still doesn't feel real. She was in my mind the future Mrs. Shallcross.'

Zach cried in the car and questioned whether she ever really cared for him.

'Or if that was just an act,' Zach said.

Rachel returned to the rose ceremony and told Aven and Tino about what had happened.

Rachel then gave both Tino and Aven roses.

Back at the live finale in Los Angeles, Zach and Rachel faced each other for the first time since the show wrapped.

'I want you to know those feelings that I had, those were real,' Rachel said.

'I saw a future with you and the reality was it just wasn't going to happen,' Zach said. 'That was a hard thing to just realize.'

Jesse said people were wondering what happened during the Fantasy Suite date that seemed to make their relationship come crashing down.

'It felt like we were two strangers in a way,' Zach said.

On the show, Rachel and Gabby's families and friends traveled to Mexico to meet the remaining men. Aven talked to Rachel's father 'Big Tony.'

'This is my daughter,' Tony said. 'She's my pride and joy and nobody is going to take her away from me without a fight.'

'I'm falling in love with your daughter,' Aven said.

Aven told Rachel's two best friends Nate and Sam
