What happened to Rachel Recchia and Blake Moynes in 'Bachelor in Paradise'?

While dating other people, Rachel and Blake forged their connection on the beach. Rachel had a difficult journey.

She was the first person on the beach as she began her Season 9 adventure. At first, she dated Sean McLaughlin, but he eventually moved on to Mercedes Northup.

Subsequently, she proceeded to Brayden Bowers, who departed in favor of Becca Serrano, leading Rachel to eliminate herself.

Blake appeared to be enjoying a happy relationship with Jess Girod during their season together. Blake was forced to acknowledge that his relationship with Jess wasn't working when Katie Thurston, the former bachelorette and ex-fiance, showed up to organize a 'BiP' event.

He self-eliminated and left the beach alone after realizing that he wasn't feeling the way he should have been feeling for Jess after seeing Katie.
