What A Mess - The Bachelorette WEEK 9 RECAP Gabby & Rachel's Season (Fantasy Suites) 

Fantasy Suites is where things get *hard* .

Rachel is really about to pick the biggest most obvious red flag over two amazing guys. I'm having serious Hannah B flashbacks, my god how can they be SO oblivious 😭

Rachel's checklist. Shag: Aven, Marry: Tino , Kill: Zach

Honestly, I wish we only had one bachelorette. I love both of them, Gabby is easily one of my favourite bachelorettes of all time, but the dating pool is so small with two leads that I don’t feel attached to many of the men at all.

the cinematic shot of the bug in the wine glass during Jason/Gabby's date killed me!! love your videos as always

"Tino's getting a little nervy cause Rachel's looking a little nervy" made me cackle out loud 😂

Im going to need the Bachelorette franchise to not have 2 bachelorette EVER AGIAN

I respect how Gabby is willing to make the hard calls when she realizes there are fundamental incompatibilities. She doesn't draw out the relationship and she respects the steps in the process to not lead the men on as much as possible.

I think Zach was just completely blindsided. That boy was in love with Rachel and probably thought that she loved him too. She didn’t say it back to him which was our first hint. She probably stopped playing the bachelorette role once the cameras were off which confused him. He had tears in his eyes in almost every shot after that like people do when their hearts are freshly broken.

I know Rachel is going to end up choosing Tino so now the only suspense I’m feeling is wondering whether it’ll be days or weeks before we hear they broke up

it's the fact that rachel said aven is "the full package" TWICE that really sent me

Jesse Palmer -"it's going to change their lives forever." Are they going on a fu*king cruise?

I lost it when Jesse asked me to take a week off, meditate, go on a trip, come back rested, do some yoga and finally plug back in once I'm fully ready for what's next.

i don’t even know what to think. between the producers, the men, and clayton looming in the background of all of rachel’s fantasy suites, who knows how this’ll end.

Just gonna say it: Rachel and Tino are both very immature. So they'll get engaged or at least close. But it's not going to last. The contrast between Rachel and Gabby in this episode is just so apparent. Gabby is emotionally mature enough that she knows how meaningful it is to say you're in love with someone and to make commitments to people this far in the game, so she makes the wise decision of letting people go. Rachel is just "in love" with other people telling her they love her, and since all of the men have said that, she "loves" all of them. Honestly, it doesn't surprise me that Zach, who seems the most mature out of Rachel's men, suddenly saw the other side of Rachel and now is scared. I'm glad it looks like he'll get out now while he can. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Rachel; I just think she has a lot of growing up to do. And, unfortunately these growing pains for her are being broadcasted on public tv.

For me, this was your best recap ever. Emily gilmore would be so proud.

i just don’t get how rachel is so down bad for tino… like, both zac(h?) and aven seemed so ready and mature whereas tino seems so… dull, devoid of emotion, and unready. i really, really don’t get it. but i’m happy for gabby! erich seems great

How did Jason get this far in the process feeling that he doesn't know Gabby and she doesn't know him??? Like, what?! My guy, you could've left this show whenever! Who was forcing this man to be there??

I think Rachel is deliberately pushing Zach away. And she'll do the same to Aven because she's already decided on Tino. Why she didn't send them home BEFORE Fantasy Suites, IDK. Maybe so she won't be held responsible for hurting them?

How romantic would it be to get engaged the week after your gf raved about someone else’s package. Chills 🥰

I knew Jason was playing in Gabby's face all season. I really think his family signed him up for this show because he looked grossly uncomfortable all season and had NO idea it's expected to leave engaged. I wish he left when he had the initial idea to go.

Rachel was so into Tino more than he was the way she looks at him was crazy. Don't put your eggs in one basket.

Okay so here is my theory with Rachel and Zach. Rachel told Zach she is nervous about him being “younger” (which is ridiculous bc he’s not that much younger than her) as a tactic to get him to spiral and leave. She didn’t want to have to break up with him, so she’s manipulating him into breaking up with her. Tin foil hat: ON

That "I ... love you, too... !" of Rachel sounded soooo awkward

I think Zach realized that Rachel won't pick him in the fantasy suietes and he didn't accept that Rachel was using his age to convince him that he is not ready, he felt something is off, he is right as this was kind of gaslighting.. She also is acting so weird in the morning after.. I think that's why he is making a big deal of this sentence. He feels she is not honest with him.

If they’re this unhappy while they live in a mansion with free alcohol, food, & endless activities…Then there’s no way in hell they’ll last as a couple in the real world where there is death, poverty, & sickness. Not this utopian bachelor mansion they isolate themselves in for months at a time lol

Gabby is the best. Shes so funny and real. Totally respect that. Lets not do 2 leads again

Take a shot for everytime Rachel says "Clayton".

I really hope he treats her right Gabby is so emotional intelligent, and articulate about it like she has been through alot but, she has learned from it, and become such a strong authentic loving person with that being said she deserves everything.

Your clips from other shows are ALWAYS chef's kiss. "do a flip!"

Erich is one of the most vulnerable and sincere contestants they’ve had. I’m so glad he was Gabby’s F1. I hope the upcoming drama isn’t real.

I’m pretty sure Rachel just knew it was not going to be Zach. Once she had her overnight with Tino and they said they loved each other it was game over. Seems like she was just trying to find a reason to make it not work and lead to a logical end of their relationship instead of blindsiding Zach by having a good overnight.

"A quiet night playing scrabble" I laughed legitimately out loud at that one 😂

Gabby and Erich's chemistry is so strong. Ithink it's the strongest I've seen in a long while on the show. I truly hope they work out.

The fact that Rachel practically tried to gaslight Zach into thinking that he wasn’t ready for an engagement because she dosent have the decency to be honest with him is vile

Yeahhhh Rachel is looking like a real hypocrite right about now. She played Zach no doubt, making him think she had deeper feelings than she did, and then blamed it on his age. I’m interested in seeing how he plays his breakup, REACH FOR THAT BACHELOR SPOT ZACH!

Not Rachel being a different person behind the camera than she is in front of the camera 🤦🏻‍♀️

literally PRAYING zach doesn't kill his reputation in the next episode because that's MY bachelor

If Rachel really wanted to be happy and have peace, she would pick Aven . Unfortunately I feel she’s not going to … 😔

Since their first one on one, I knew the producers were setting up Zach for the next bachelor. Since his entrance, I knew they were setting up Tino to be the next Tyler C. Rachel contradicts herself over and over again. She tells Tino she loves him after saying she wanted to wait for the end. And she keeps saying she doesn’t want to string any guys along like she was, yet is doing that with Zach and Aven. She clearly wants to be engaged to Tino and be the perfect bachelorette.

You have the best recaps, period. I literally laugh out loud multiple times every video. Also, my theory is Rachel definitely wanted Zach to break up with her and look like the bad guy which is really sucky. Their morning after was so cringe and she seemed super inauthentic and weird for all of it.

Rachel is head over heels for Tino and that's why she's dismissing the fact his parents disapprove of them and why she decides to talk about politics and age differences with Zach and looking for any reason why they wouldn't work when simply she isn't attracted to him as she is to Tino.

I knew something was up with Zach and Rachel’s fantasy suite because they were filmed sitting on a couch with what felt like a million pillows between them. There wasn’t the typical morning snuggle with them in bed or snuggling on a couch. I definitely feel for Zach. He deserves better!

Everyone is reading way far into Zach and Rachel's possible convo. She didn't say I love you back and probably didn't sleep with him whereas she did with the other two guys. Aka you're going next and Zach was smart enough to read the room, thus feeling blindsided.

Tino’s dad is gonna turn out like Peter’s mom for sure if he return home with Rachel

Nowadays every time a man makes it this far and then suddenly starts getting nervous about an engagement and basically self-sabotages their chances, I start getting Brendan Morais vibes. Fame seeker who didn’t want to risk actually getting picked

I guffawed out loud with the call back to Tino acting like a “real baby back b*tch” omg tysm for these hillarious recaps!!! 🤣🤣

Great recap. The "baby back bitch" comment had me laughing so hard I had to pause the video! 😂🤣😅

I don't even watch the Bachelorette/ Bachelor franchise, I only come see BACHELOR FANTAKE for the details/ impressive video editing. 💖💔💖

I think after this, a 3-way interview with Clayton, Gabby, and Rachel would be interesting, maybe enlightening.

I bet the producers were punching their pillow when they realized two huge dramatic events went down in the fantasy suites where there’s no cameras hahaha I do think the politics things is interesting because according to Florida records, Rachel is affiliated with the Republican Party and Zach is from California, a generally blue state. Either way I have grown to like Zach all season and I hope they pick him as bachelor.

Rachel saying '' I am falling in love with you'' to Aven when she's already chosen Tino..... Is just another version [although a little bit milder] of doing what Clayton did to her...... She is just as loose with her words and she is setting Aven up for heartbreak and devastation...... She's constantly digging out Clayton but she's quite hypocritical with her own actions and words

"Nervy" New word to our vocabulary!

Gabby was indeed lead on by Jason. If he knew he was uncomfortable, he would have known that weeks ago. He was too afraid to make a move.

I had too much anxiety over the Gabby and Erich situation to watch these episodes so thank you for the recap and I’m hoping they end up together

Kind of a weird Rachel edit this week. I noticed at the rose ceremony when Jesse told her she was the only bachelorette it looked like she kept smiling like she was almost glad. I thought it was weird she didn’t ask about Gabby but then again she probably already knew beforehand? then when she got to give out the roses, again she was smiling, which was kind of odd because this is such a tough rose ceremony so it seemed weird that she was smiling. However, maybe she was just uncomfortable and that’s just how she deals with situations.

Why do I feel like Tino came on because somebody told him he looks like Tyler Cameron?

If there was a Pulitzer for Bachelorette/Bachelor Reviews, you would most definitely be the recipient. I look sooo forward to your reviews. The show, not so much. 🥰

Even if Paradise is a shorter timespan, the contestants get to spend more time together. So Paradise is probably perfect for the person who thinks the regular formula is just a little too fast.

I said “that’s what she said” so much during this episode while watching it and I died when Bachelor Fantake kicked off this video with that haha

Gabby had a huge crush on Jason. Probably with help from production she had built it up in her mind that there was this great romantic connection there that wasn't there. It was heartbreaking to me to watch this guy's frankly almost detachment which she called reserved attitude (and which attracted her) to the poin that he told her it was not even going to work for them to date outside of the Bachelorette. In other words, she was a fun date, but the physical "it" factor was not there for him. He was not into her. Where I fault Jason is that like the rest of us, he knows whether or not he is physically attracted and into a person. He "knew" this before HTs as based by convos and the reactions of his mother.

I hope Gabby and Erich can make it work!! Love them together

Gabby cries that she's to broken for anyone to love when Erich had JUST PROFESSED HIS LOVE TO HER

I’m just glad that Logan and all his drama are out of the picture (for now). I vote for Aven for next bachelor, he’s the full package after all.

The bachelor and bachelorette exist only to give birth to bachelor in paradise.

gabby the morning after her fantasy suite with jason made me so sad omg 😭 her voice was just so tiny and broken

That was one of the best That’s What She Said set ups of all time. Bravo, my dude.

I have many thoughts on this season. They doubled up on the leads, but only added an extra 5 contestants, so it's really not surprising that they couldn't find enough quality guys. Clearly something weird is going on with Zach and Rachel and I would bet a million dollars that Zach is going to be sent packing at the Rose ceremony. Rachel is already set on picking Tino to be the winner.

I literally wonder how tino will feel when he finds out aven is whole package

Me watching the first episode: “Oh good, Aven seems like a more healthy relationship and she said he could be the one”…”RACHEL NOOOO!”

Man the blink twice comment cracked me so hard.. I was drinking hot tea and I spilt it all over my computer and started chocking😂😂😂 I will never drink and watch your videos again 😅

I have been waiting for this ALL DAY! So excited! thanks for getting it out so quickly!

literally just finished watching the recap and here we are! I honestly keep watching so I can watch these. Thanks for doing these

Rachel totally contradicted herself saying she wanted to save the L word until the end!

I think that Rachel use the idea of him not being ready because of his age as an excuse she knew she wanted to let him go instead of not giving him a rose she made it look like it was decision to leave my guess is she picks tino ,and they break up soon afterward you could just tell on the men tell all that something was going on I don't think she with anyone right now.

So was Jason the villain of the season? And Zach totally got the bachelor edit... Imo

I feel like some of the conflict Rachel is going through come from her knowing that Zac is the perfect guy and yet not having that 'it' factor that would make her ready to spend her life with him. She might have had a more grilling convo to try to figure out where that doubt comes from, almost like she wants to know why Zac is on paper perfect, and yet not the one. This is no critic on Rachel, she obviously sees something or feels something special for Tino. I'm not going to harp on her for not picking the guy I like the most

omg Jason was actually super honest. You don't know who I am and I don't know who you are. How do you expect us to get engaged? Say what you want about contestants knowing the process but Rachel & Gabby's was super rushed and done in half the time!

haha I was hoping you would talk about the dead bug in the champagne!!!

Jason just wanted a free vacation. He doesn’t even want to be Gabby’s boyfriend, let alone her husband. That blank expression on his face all season was really annoying/concerning.

OK I died at this opening segment 🤣 you have outdone yourself yet again

I felt Aven and Rachel's date was all very tongue in cheek, wink, wink. I'm not sure they actually knocked boots. To me it seems he knows she's picking Tino and they agreed to make it look good for the cameras and TV. Of course, next week might change my mind, but right now I'm calling shenanigans. When it came to Zach, I think she told him she wasn't ready to sleep with him, than she started trying to find ANY reason to dump him so she will look good. He is so clearly the better choice - good job, good family, same interests, have a great time together, no drama. Maybe that's it....Rachel needs the drama. Falls in line with everything we've seen of her this season.

Because religion and politics are important to me to a point, that is something I bring out on a first date usually or sometimes even before. I do not need someone to have exactly the same views as me, but it can not be the complete opposite. Like I am an atheist strongly against religion (not people's personal believes, but as a corrupt power and controlling force that historically and currently can cause a lot of hurt in my eyes) and so someone going to church every week and praying in front of every food or whatnot would just not work for me. It is just my personal preference when it comes to choosing a partner,

This season has been dictated about the guys and who or what they want. A double season doesn't work (well with the US one at least). I feel for Rachel and Gabby, they started on the back foot and I hope they're happy.

come on BF, don't put this all on Zach. Rachel has the emotional intelligence of a foot. Remember when she told Gabby that her getting rejected "wasn't the same" because it was in private 😂 It makes way more sense that RACHEL had an issue with Zach and SHE used the age thing as a scapegoat because she knew she was gonna dump him but didn't wanna be upfront about it.

this intro is the funniest thing I have ever seen. love you thank you for another great video

Brilliant recap as always! I laughed so hard at Erich’s added tear. 😂

thank you for your hard work, i look forward to these every week

Awesome editing! Very funny take on this messy episode. Now I’d better take some time to gather my thoughts and prepare for next week’s most dramatic and emotional ending ever 😆

I feel like either 1 is religious and 1's not, or 1 is liberal and 1 is conservative which caused the riff the night of FS hence his comment about those conversations

"iiin in aa abandoned warehouse! Ok Jessy, blink twice if you need help" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

this recap was HILARIOUS 😂 and just so good!

You’re just so good at these, BF. Better than watching the show.

I feel like Rachel was almost just as bad as Clayton. She told Aven she’s “falling in love with him” then most likely sleeps with him, then goes on to tell Tino she’s “in love with him” and most likely sleeps with him (which is no big deal) then still invites Zach to the fantasy suite when we already know she wants Tino. There was no reasons to invite him when you just told another man you love them. But to get mad at Clayton for sleeping with two people then you most likely do the same thing and tell two people you love them/falling for them. (Because Clayton just told gabby he was falling for her until the very end when he told the two of them everything) Rachel was my favorite in his season and now I just think she’s kinda hypocritical

Please give them air conditioned places to have evening dates!

Tino saying "nervy" totally bothered me too because I have to assume he's using it in this very casual, "obvy" kind of way, although I have to keep reminding myself it's like a REAL word too and actually totally legitimate to use in that context 😂 I like Zach for Bachelor (especially if the only other option they're offering us is Nate, yuck) but I hate that they're setting Rachel up as some kind of villain when it's so obvious that he was her F3, she is already all in on Tino, and Zach just caught that vibe once the cameras were gone and it hurt. Unfortunately it's part and parcel with how the show is run, two or three guys usually end up with very hurt feelings and Zach signed up to be one of them. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lmao! I love your “uh-oh” every time. Cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

I wonder why they didn’t show the morning after with tino

Brilliant editing as always!

It's hard for me to express how much I love ur videos lol
