Having two 'Bachelorettes' on this season of 'The Bachelorette' seemed like a recipe for disaster. However, Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia's friendship looks like it's stronger than that, as the two women have constantly had each other's backs.

Although there were initial hiccups when it came to the rose ceremony, the ladies decided it would be best to split the group into two, with each sub-group dedicated to wooing one of them. And while the ladies picked who they wanted, it looks like Rachel might be having second thoughts about the men in her group.

As Rachel and her group joined Gabby during her group date, she noticed that all of Gabby's men were dedicated to her entirely, while her group didn't even go as far as to make eye contact with her. In her confessionals, she broke down and expressed that none of them made her feel wanted and that Clayton did a better job at making her feel loved back on his season. As she confronted the men and called them out on their behavior, fans were done with her crying on screen. 

"Rachel is literally just torturing herself. she needs to stop comparing herself with Gabby #thebachelorette," tweeted a fan. "Ok Rachel comparing these guys to Clayton is a red flag because we all know how that ended... #TheBachelorette #BacheloretteABC," added a fan.

"Rachel gonna be that gf that just bursts out in tears about something he did five days ago and the dude is gonna be like  #TheBachelorette," said a fan. "Rachel if you were trying to win these guys over, crying and complaining was NOT the way. Guys hate that. It was Gabby's group date at a boxing match. Give your guys a F*ing break.  #TheBachelorette," wrote another.

"Might be an unpopular opinion but Rachel is not a good bachelorette at least from what we’ve seen. If she was by herself I don’t think I would have watched #TheBachelorette," agreed another. "I think I got it. Gabby sounds earnest, while Rachel has just the right amount of entitlement in her woes to make me raise an eyebrow. #TheBachelorette," added a fan.
