The Bachelorette Fantasy Suite: After The Finale
Bachelorette, Rachel points out that it’s “fantasy suite week” on The Bachelorette, and she is right – everything went haywire in the fantasy suites this point. The foreshadowing continues.
Rachel is hesitant to talk about her feelings after what she went through with Clayton, she has issues with each of her three men, Chris -“I feel like Tino’s parents hate me, Zach is perfect on paper but “I don’t think I’m there with Zach” and “I am falling for Aven but I am too scared to tell him that yet.”
Gabby doesn’t know how John likes her, and she’s not sure Johnny is ready to get engaged. Gabby and Erich have both said they’re “falling in love” with each other (which, on a Bachelor show, apparently means you really like someone, but you still want to be into other people)… but she also ominously notes that feelings “can definitely change.”
After Monday’s episode, there are still a lot of unanswered questions regarding the outcome of the show. Read on and then leave your thoughts in the comments below. Who said “I love you?” Who left and which woman is scared she might end up with no one?
Gabby says that their hometown date was meaningful and she’s excited for their next date. They go to a secluded cove and take a “lover’s leap” into the water.
Erich convinces her she doesn’t have to be afraid and they jump together.
