MEXICO: 'The Bachelorette' star Gabby Windey's journey to find love has been anything but easy. From having to let go of Nate Mitchell to being rejected by suitors during the rose ceremony, the ICU Nurse has witnessed all the highs and lows of looking for love on a reality show. 

After going through countless group dates, and one-on-one dates, Gabby was finally given a chance to spend a night with three suitors of her choice. The 31-year-old picked Erich Schwer, Jason Alabaster, and Johnny DePhillipo, as her dates. Her excitement soon turned into an emotional nightmare when both Jason and Johnny confessed to her that they weren't ready to get engaged to her. On the other hand, Erich accused Gabby of cheating on him by exploring her connection with other suitors. The reality star was left with no choice but to dump Jason and Johnny while deciding her future with Erich. After careful consideration, Gabby decided to tell Erich that she loved him and wanted to leave the show with him!

During her emotional speech to Erich, Gabby declared that Erich was the only one left for her and that she wanted to be with him. While Erich took it as a compliment and was ecstatic to be with her, fans however began wondering if Gabby was really in love with Erich or if she was just "settling" for him because he was the only suitor left for her. A fan tweeted, "It feels really weird for gabby not to explain to erich how she “suddenly” knew he was the one (and only one..) #TheBachelorette." "Feels like Gabby is settling because Erich’s the only one left #TheBachelorette #TheBachelorettes," wrote a fan. "Gabby picking Erich because he was the only guy left is the biggest example of SETTLING. Honestly Nayte was the only guy from day 1 that was best for her. Pool water soaking up the oxygen to her brain because this was dumb.#TheBachelorette #BachelorNation #BacheloretteParty," pointed out a fan. "Gabby has psyched herself up to think she “chose” Erich and that he’s the love of her life! Stop it! Erich is the only one left by DEFAULT! I give it a year and a half and that’s being generous. #TheBachelorette," declared a fan.

Another fan shared, "Gabby should have had her own season with a better group of guys. Because this is trash. And what- now Erich wins by default? He's a desperate deb. Of course he'll propose. Red flag city. #TheBachelorette." "I’m wondering if Erich being the only one left was the defining factor in Gabby choosing him. #TheBachelorette #BachelorNation," wondered a fan. "IF JASON HADN’T LEFT GABBY WOULDN’T BE TELLING THIS TO ERICH #TheBachelorette," expressed a fan. "Gabby just wants Erich because all the other guys left #thebachelorette," observed a fan.
