LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 'After the Final Rose' special of 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 had fans wondering if they were watching a rerun of the iconic sitcom 'FRIENDS' or their favorite dating show. Rachel Recchia and Tino Franco's messy split was eerily reminiscent of the split between Rachel Green and Ross Geller from the sitcom. Tino confessed to Rachel that he kissed another girl while they were having some troubles in their relationship.

Tino was under the impression that Rachel and she were done, while 'The Bachelorette' star, on the other hand, was puzzled by his conclusion, as she pointed out that despite all their issues, she reportedly never suggested a breakup or even break. This confusion led to the couple fighting over whether they were on a break when Tino kissed the other girl or not. For her part, Rachel made it very clear that they were not on a break. Tino apologized for putting Rachel through the emotional rollercoaster with his actions, he couldn't help but point out how Rachel second-guessing whether she wanted to stay engaged to him or not made him conclude that they had split.
