By Dani Golub
The Bachelorettes are opening up!
Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia joined BachelorNation.com for an exclusive chat where they played a round of our BFF quiz.
The leading ladies answered questions about each other, including what fans don’t know about them, who would last longer on a deserted island, their biggest pet peeves, and more!
The two both agreed that Gabby would last longer without her cell phone and Gabby shared that if she got to cast any celebrity as Rachel in a movie about her life, she would pick Jennifer Aniston.
Rachel shared that Gabby’s guilty pleasure is champagne and that her pet peeve is people who aren’t emotionally intelligent. Totally understandable!

The Bachelorettes also shared some deeper insight about each other during the BFF quiz that we haven’t gotten to see on-screen.
Gabby shared what fans might not know about Rachel first, saying, “I think she’s talked about it a little in this episode, but people don’t realize just how driven and motivated Rachel is with her career. She has worked so hard and really overcame a lot. I feel like people are just starting to see that. Also, her sense of humor and how fun and bubbly she is! I feel like the show often shows the more serious sides of her.”
Rachel chimed in and shared what people might not know about her BFF and fellow Bachelorette Gabby.
Rachel said, “For this season, I was really excited for everyone to see Gabby’s more serious side and how she is so emotionally intelligent. She has the best use of words. Every time I watch her on a one-on-one, I’m so amazed by her and her eloquence. Obviously Gabby’s the funniest person we know and she’s always bringing the humor and the jokes, but she can also be so serious and just so loving and emotional. I’m happy for people to be able to see that!”

The Bachelorettes also shared what they learned from each other this season.
Gabby said, “Rachel was always letting herself be in the moment and letting her walls down to allow herself to fall in love and let these guys in. I think I naturally have a guard up, especially when dating, but getting to watch Rachel be so vulnerable and so brave really helped me on my journey.”
How sweet! Rachel also shared how Gabby helped her along the way.
She said, “Having Gabby there as a support no matter what was going on was the most amazing thing. She was always 100% supportive of whatever decision I made, and I definitely feel like there were times where I struggled with feeling secure and confident and always having her there and having her encouragement just meant so much to me.”
