EXCLUSIVE: Gabby & Rachel Dish on ‘Men Tell All’ and Reveal What They Want Bachelor Nation to Know
Opening up!
Bachelor Nation fans saw this season’s “Men Tell All” episode unfold last night and now, Bachelorettes Gabby and Rachel are spilling the tea.
The two stopped by for an exclusive chat with BachelorNation.com, where they revealed how it felt to see all their exes at once and what they wish people knew about them now.
Check out their full interview below!
Bachelor Nation: Okay, let’s dive right in. What was it like seeing all of those exes at once on last night’s episode?!
Rachel Recchia: It was definitely crazy, I was so nervous initially, but just the support from these guys was amazing. They are such incredible, upstanding men. To be in front of them again, I was nervous, but now I don’t know what for. It was so good to see them again and to see them all so happy and healthy.
Gabby Windey: Yeah, I agree. It was intimidating walking in, but our experience was overall so positive with them that I automatically felt their warmth and like we were at home.

BN: Who were you most excited to see at “Men Tell All?”
RR: I had just seen my breakup with Tyler happen and that was so hard. That was easily one of the hardest things I had to do as the Bachelorette. So to see him again, it was so nice to see him, and it was nice to see Jordan as well. They are truly such good people.
GW: I was definitely excited to see Nate. The way we left things was so heartfelt, but it was so hard leaving him in that scenario and that was the last time I saw him. So just to have that extra bit of closure really meant the world to me.
BN: What has been your favorite part of watching the show back?
RR: The main thing that I have enjoyed watching back was me and Gabby’s support for each other. Of course we lived it and know how it felt, but I’m just so happy that people get to watch this and watch us go through these struggles while supporting each other and lifting each other up. I’m so happy that everyone is getting to share that with us.

BN: And what has been most surprising watching your season back?
GW: The Logan stuff was pretty surprising watching the show back. We didn’t know it had been going on for that long. I honestly didn’t know how the men felt about it. When I would ask them about it, they would say it was jarring at first, but they loved him so much as a person. But then I came to find out that they talked a lot of sh*t in their interviews, so that would’ve been good to know.
BN: Is there anything that you want Bachelor Nation fans to know as they watch the rest of your season unfold?

GW: I think people are missing big parts of our friendship and how much we do communicate. The Logan switch shook things up a bit and was hard for us to handle, but in the moment it was seamless. Rachel and I had a conversation friend to friend and we really wanted the other person to be honest. It made it really easy going forward. It wasn’t a big deal on either of our minds after that.
RR: Yeah, absolutely. And I think there has been a lot of negative reaction around Gabby and my emotions, which was shocking to me. I feel like me and Gabby are people who wear our heart on our sleeve, especially me. I really think that it’s a beautiful thing that we are being so honest and so open, so that’s been a little surprising to see the criticism. I hope ultimately they will see how much we cared and we were emotional because of how much we cared!
