Idiots - The Bachelorette WEEK 3 RECAP Gabby & Rachel's Season 

Sorry if you've seen this video twice! Long story short there was a RU-vid issue. But we're up, enjoy!

The stupid thing is that Rachel and Gabby each should’ve had their own group of guys to begin with

Gabby's not like any other Bachelorettes and that's a GOOD thing.

jordan rejecting gabby then saying “obviously you’re smokin” has the same energy as chasen calling tayshia a “smoke show” and thinking that was an improvement 🤦🏼‍♀️

Gabbys personality is my favorite omg 😂 “I don’t want to play anymore. I didn’t even want to play in the first place.”

Jesse worked hard for that salary this episode 😂😂 We saw SO MUCH of him coming in to take those roses

Anyone else feel like cancelling the cocktail party was producers doing? If they told the men they were splitting then had the cocktail party for everyone to figure out their lane, that would’ve avoided the awkward moments at the rose ceremony. It felt really dirty to me. I feel like they’ve been doing our girls so dirty this whole season so far.

The awkward silence after gabby said she wasn’t giving a group rose made me feel so bad but I was cracking up. She was just like waiting for someone to say something then she was like “ok bye”

I really hope the scenes with Gabby visiting the mansion were heavily swayed by production bc WHY would they choose to throw a football around instead of talking to her ☠️

You can tell a lot from someone's body language, and Eric, I don't think, is into Gabby that much. Look at how he responds when she basically pours her heart out to him. I'm team Nate all the way.

I hate that they took Rachel’s roses away!!! They should have just said that those who reject one must be picked by the other or go home

I feel for Gabby and Rachel because production didn’t think this whole thing through. (Or they’re intentionally having a free for all) Hopefully they come through this experience with more confidence and don’t get further torn down.

I appreciate hearing stories from other women who have grown up with absent mothers. I have also felt the ways Gabby describes over the years. It isn't a common dynamic and a lot of people don't know how to relate. I also understand that depth of love she speaks to. I really hope she finds her happy ending, even if outside of the show.

Dear Gabby. I'm 63 with no kids, no family. I would LOVE to be your mom. You are wonderful, I greatly admire you. I'd love to give you a hug, and an ear, any time you need it.

The only reason Rachel picked Hayden was because she knew it was a sure thing. She didn't want her last rose rejected. Also: Dollar Store Joe, love it!

I just wanted to hug Gabby throughout this episode.

The way Zach got emotional on the date is why I love watching this show. Real emotions from real people, it is tantalising!

I am once again asking why they couldn’t get separate seasons like Katie and Michelle

When Jacob said that he's only two modes "ON" and "more ON" I said "you said it dude, your mode is moron... And then he went on to prove it.

I continue to be so blown away by Gabby's levels of introspection and emotional intelligence. Even talking about her mom.. damn.

My favorite thing about the bachelor franchise is bachelor fantake!!!!

Gabby is so inspiring. She doesn't give herself enough credit and we can understand why. But damn, is she a real one.

So Hayden is the new villain since Rachel kept him after the rough around the edges incident with Gabby, what a snobby thing for him to say!

My mouth literally dropped open when Gabby was called rough around the edges. And then followed by Jacobs remarks. I can’t even say it was jist a bad edit because they literally spoke the words.

I kind of wish Rachel would have stuck it to Hayden for what he said about Gabby where it's the last rose and she just goes "I have no one else I want to give my rose to". That would have been epic.

Jesse honestly looked like he hated taking the roses lmao

Gabby’s grandpa is a sweetheart!!

Meatball at the rose ceremony, rejecting Rachel’s rose for Gabby’s. Not getting it and trying to pull a Hail Mary at end with Rachel, saying now I want her. First, cringe. Second, I feel it disrespected her and made her look like second choice. Third, he’s going nowhere.

I swear, nothing makes me more happy than all the Grandpa John screen time

Nates look when he's running up and sees Gabby in the wedding dress is so sweet. Also IMO I didn't think it was quiet fair. Gabby had a heads up who wasnt into her as they had already let her know so she already had context before rose ceremony while I felt Rachel did not, setting her up for more embarrassment. And then she lost the roses.

I’m actually really enjoying this season, has lots of good twists & love how supportive the girls are of each other !

The Dora "Swiper, no swiping" has me crying lolol! This channel is just brilliant.

Now we’re gonna have an issue of “teams” and how many men are on each team, also switching sides as well

Am i the only one that saw Erick avoided a kiss with Gabby when she was about to sit on his lap?

The clips today were spot on! The “you’ve been meatballed” and the “swiper no swiping” ones had me cackling!

at the beginning of the dinner portion of Gabby and Erich's date I was explaining to my brother that it was the part of the show where people talk about something traumatic that happened to them or talk about how their parents made them want to fall in love (either from divorce and making them want something that their parents never had, or from a good relationship and wanting something like their parents) and by the time I was done explaining it Erich was telling her about how he idolizes his parents relationship 😐 this show is comically formulaic at times

I feel like not enough people are picking up on the fact that Rachel tried to deny Gabby's experience and make it a competition... Rachel literally said "but that was in private, this is in public" as if this isn't a national TV show. Not only that, but the men were much harsher / more inconsiderate of Gabby's feelings. Telling Gabby she's "rough around the edges", doesn't align with their "morals", that if she were the bachelorette they would leave? Much more harmful to one's self esteem than respectfully telling Rachel that they can't accept her rose. I've tried to hold back but I feel like after all that I can confidently say that Gabby should have been the sole bachelorette. She is much more in touch with her emotions and pushes the guys emotionally as well... which they clearly need.

The editing team did Erich dirty. It is clear that he responded to Gabby when she opened up about her mother; you could see his mouth moving when they had the camera directly on her despite the silence. Perhaps he didn’t know exactly what to say (especially since his relationship with his parents is very different from hers), but he definitely responded. Maybe there were trying to protect him in case he put his foot in his mouth? But all the frankenbiting they do, it was not cool to make it seem like had nothing to offer an emotional Gabby except staring blankly. (There were some bachelor podcasts who dumped on Erich for his perceived “silence,” and I found that frustrating.)

Ever since Night 1, I’ve been referring to Jacob as ‘Discount Fabio’, but I like ‘Frat Boy Tarzan’. So glad he’s gone 😂😂😂

cant even begin to explain how happy i am when you use a perfect The Office clip 😂

This is just so unfair to them both and they’re so different that this group of men isn’t going to cut it for both of them I really don’t think we’re going to see two “happy” endings in the finale

If Gabby doesn't find love at the end of this, I vote she gets her own season.

I know everyone keeps saying they should have divided the guys to begin with but I was thinking about the most recent season of Joe millionaire and how they had 2 leads but they didn't even make the girls pick a side til the final 6. It wasn't even a big deal but I think it's because the show overall was less serious whereas the bachelor is more "you need to be ready for an engagement/marriage!"

Someone please explain to me how math worked during this episode! If you watched very carefully both tables, you will see that Rachel has 1 more rose than Gabby, even though Rachel already handled 2 and Gabby handled only1 throughout the episode!! Not to mention that 2 guys rejected Rachel's rose yet somehow Gabby has 9 men left and so does Rachel if you could meatballs, 9 as well! The producers are so calculated they just knew they wanted 9 on both sides and they knew 2 people are gonna reject Rachel's rose after they knew their draft

I swear if Meatball gets a second chance, I’m gonna be so disappointed in Rachel

“Swiper, No Swiping” had me laughing 😂 Perfection

When I heard "SWIPER NO SWIPING" I laughed so hard!!!!!! 😆🤣😆🤣

Never felt this before but genuinely love gabby 💗💗

This should have happened on day ONE!!!!! LIKE I SAID BEFORE! And another thing that's becoming annoying is canceling the cocktail parties.

Lmao i love that there's an office scene for every scenario

To the last two guys (of the three guys) who rejected Gabby and selected Rachel, this is for you. That’s fine if you make your intentions known for one bachelorette over the other, be short and classy about.l it. A few years ago I interviewed for 5 jobs and got rejected for 4 of them. The places that didn’t pick me, they called let me know they picked someone else and we kept it moving. Unless if I asked (and I didn’t) they didn’t mention the reasons why I was not selected or my interview flaws. You didn’t pick Gabby, so no need to go into extra details about “being rough around the edges” and especially “if we are the last ones here, I don’t think I can pick you”. You know she is going to tell Rachel (vice versa) and that could ruin your chances with Rachel. With that said, even though it was public (rose ceremony) I am fine with the way the three gentlemen let Rachel know that they were team Gabby.

I watched it twice after the issues on purpose! So glad you got video back up. I so enjoy your recaps!

There's a lot wrong with this season but the lack of foresight from production is on full display here. giving the contestants an option even just one changes ht entire experience. you've shifted from bachelorette to love island. Im rooting for gaby to find someone because she is the most relatable bachelorette for many people we've ever seen. she has been publically rejected and publically broken down. she doesnt have it all figured out and she is just trying to make it one day at a time. and with our support and her strength, she will.

Recommenting and rewatching! Love your videos. I think Gabby and Rachel are too similar to be co-bachelorette and I am not enjoying the season. We did a co season in NZ but it was a 23 year old travel blogger and a 34 year old doctor, so their type was totally different and it worked, but it is not working at all here. I don't enjoy the weird power dynamics. I also think Gabby was very drunk on that date with Erich, which kinda explains those awkward kisses and and her demeanour - and I don't think he really knew what to do, and he was responding but they edited it out. The way they edited him so badly makes me think he's not Gabbys final pick. TPTB better not try get Gabbys mum on like they did with Matt's dad.

I'm glad for these episodes as I have decided to sit this season out. Fantastic coverage.

The Gordon Ramsey editing has me rolling 🤣

I felt bad for the 3 men that rejected Rachel because they liked gabby 🤣 and yet Gabby still sent them home 💀🤣🤣😩😩

I look forward to these videos every week. I absolutely LOVED the office meatball add in this week!!!!

This was your funniest breakdown ever I was trying to work out while watching this and had to keep stopping

Rachel and Gabby finally decided to divide into groups! This season is getting even more interesting!

I dunno about you but when gabby went to sit on his lap at 07:30 he looked like he was leaning away. I didnt watch the episode but I do always catch your videos and get some insight to what happened. So again I didn't watch the episode and maybe there was more shown but I felt like he wasn't all into her....will wait to see the rest of the show!

love your videos! I look forward to them every week:)

No need to apologise !!! Timing was perfect as usual ❤️ thank you

I really appreciate Gabby being so raw and showing people how hard it is to talk about family dynamics when you havent come from a good one. It can being up a bunch of PTSD, and its so hard to follow up a conversation after someone says "Family is everything to me and I love them so much!" and you unfortunately just cant relate. She deserves someone that can make her feel whole! And well... unbroken 😊

The "you've been meatballed" was so sudden and so funny omg

Am I the only one who was shocked by some of the guys Rachel wanted to give her roses to? I wasn’t really surprised by the three guys who turned down Rachel’s because to me personally, they seemed better fit for Gabby, anyways. I was more so taken back by the fact that Rachel even had her eyes on them from the get go because none of those 3 men seemed like Rachel’s types. Rachel’s type is Tino(all day, everyday), in regards to his look and demeanor. But her choosing those 3 guys leads me to believe that Gabby isn’t always upfront with her feelings to Rachel about the guys she is really interested in. Gabby always seems to let Rachel have “first dibs.” Gabby strikes me as the type of person who could really want something but instead will give it to someone else if they express just a little bit of interest in that same thing and that is not necessarily a bad thing. But I just want her to remember this is her season, too. But maybe it was just a producer set up but that’s what I got from the rose ceremony(fixed or not).

"swiper no swiping" made my day 🤣 thanks for that

Why didn't they have the ladies pick outside of a rose ceremony so that at the rose ceremony they will know who's for them and how many roses to give out? Really not pleased production did Rachel dirty.

Lmao... Rachel says and acts like she didn’t go through the same thing being rejected by men interested in Gabby.

OMG! When I heard his name was Meatball I just knew it was coming.... I couldn't wait to see you using the Meatball prank footage.

Ah man Fantake - I was praying you’d have a good Letterkenny clip for us as soon as I saw Jason! 😆

Now, they finally decided to divide into groups! This season is getting even more interesting

Also did anybody notice Gabby’s rose glitch like 1 frame there was magically more than the other

That guy who said he hadn't had sex in a year, should have been booted on day 1, such a disgusting comment to say to a girl, the first minute he meets her. I'm offended like I was in Gabby's shoes, by the way Hayden and that idiotic guy talked to her. I respect Gabby more and I'm kinda disappointed Rachel chose Hayden.

I couldn’t believeeeeee that they were taking her roses away!!

"Sadly tho me & you was directed by Michael Bay so all the moments kept being interrupted by explosions"....I see what you did there 🤣👏🏾👏🏾

Chef’s Kiss on the opening

Omg the threatening of Julie bc we all love grandpa John the most out of anyone that’s been on the show 🤣💕💕💕

It's almost like having one pool of men for two women to choose from without any structure of who gets who turned out to be a bad idea or something.

i was legit looking for this vid rn

I know people are saying that it seems weird for them to be together on one seasons. But I kind of feel like this is helping weed out the guys who might’ve just played along to get screen time/vacation/Makeout sessions even if they weren’t that interested. Maybe not but 🤷🏻‍♀️

i swear they did this on purpose since i’ve been watching i don’t know if i can even say this gabby has to have been the finest yet

I've been seeing this theme a lot on Tik Tok that men are more emotionally wanting to be with other men, and then they see women as sexual objects. "I can't be friends with a woman" type mentality. I find it so interesting how guys can compliment each others clothes, and not see how they could do that with a woman, and not say it because they are thinking with their pee pee

Has the whole "the men not putting in effort" always been a thing? I've only started watching since Clare/Tayshia season and it's now happened to Clare, Michelle and now Gabby. Is this just a more recent trend? Also it's interesting that it's always been with a female lead. I'd be curious to see how that'd play out with a male lead.

It felt like they were all playing an improv game with the two bachelorettes. Both women are having to be extra tough - I was a fan of both of them during Clayton’s season, but the openly softly vulnerable Rachel always made me both protective and hopeful for her. Gabby’s toughness comes from being hurt - and the blatant “no love from Mom” makes my heart reach out to her, too. The preview showing one of the men waffling… sheesh, production - shaping the show beforehand would have been helpful.

The preview from last night shows that Rachel must give Meatball another shot...wtf why

My thoughts: Interrupting the Zach/Rachel date with brief moments of Gabby worrying reminds me of when they did this very same thing with Susie while Clayton was on his dates with (coincidentally) Gabby and Rachel. The Jacob/Gabby scene wasn’t a fakeout. I do wish that he had been pulled aside and sent home after what he said. If this were a typical season, no way would he say a comment like that and make it to a rose ceremony. Spencer getting a rose and confidently accepting it from Gabby raises a red flag for me because he said earlier that he was undecided and the producers didn’t give us any more footage of him the entire episode so it’s possible that they could have an interesting fate awaiting him next episode or the episode after. He’s definitely one to watch for elimination next episode. Same goes for Mario to a lesser extent. I’m hoping Meatball is back next episode, he was eliminated way too early!

The producers were really wilding this week.

ahhh maaaaan. Swiper has got me on the floor laughing 🤣!

Best episode ever!!!

This intro is matchless just 👌✨✨✨✨

If she is rough around the edges I guess most all of us are then!

This season has so many twist it makes me wish I was watching live but those two hour episodes get me

That was really good and hilarious haha!

Damnit. Stanley’s meatball line took me out immediately 😂😂

Thought I was having extreme dejavu until I read your comments. Glad to see you got it back up!!

God bless you for the Meatball meme! Stanley coming in with the truth.

😂😂 The Office meatball reference was the best.

Love how it’s titled “idiots” 😂

! :D Memes! All of the memes! And all of the *salt*~ A true return to form! Thank you for the video. Great recap, had me rolling.
