Did Jason self-eliminate himself? 'The Bachelorette' preview reveals Gabby in tears
MEXICO: The path to finding love is turning out to be anything but easy for 'The Bachelorette' star Gabby Windey. After failing to win Clayton Echard's heart on 'The Bachelor', Gabby and her fellow runner-up/ best friend Rachel Recchia were announced as the new leads of 'The Bachelorette'. While the two friends assumed that finding their prince charming would be a cakewalk as the bachelorettes, unfortunately, they soon realized that it couldn't be farther from the truth.
With the suitors having the choice between two bachelorettes, the rejection that came along led to a lot of heartache and tears on the reality dating show. Though Gabby's journey on the dating show kicked off on a high note, it quickly went downhill. From being called 'rough around the edges' by Hayden to having to let go of Nate Mitchell, Gabby had her fair share of tough moments. But it seems like her misery is far from over. Two out of the three suitors she picked for hometown dates began second-guessing if they should get engaged to her. Jason Alabaster confided in his mother that he wasn't ready to get engaged to Gabby as it didn't feel "realistic". On the other hand, Johnny DePhillipo revealed to his parents that he didn't want to get engaged to Gabby either, as he wasn't ready for that big step. Neither of these men revealed this crucial information to Gabby. Both the families urged their sons to discuss their decision with Gabby before it's too late. It looks like they did exactly that.

In the preview clip for the next episode of 'The Bachelorette' released by ABC, hawk-eyed fans noticed how little of Jason was featured despite Gabby and him sharing a very strong connection. The duo bonded over their mutual love for therapy. But it looks like Jason may have told Gabby about his disinterest in getting engaged and removed himself from the competition. Spoilers king Reality Steve too shared a similar theory in the past. Though he couldn’t confirm that Jason self-eliminated, Reality Steve reported that he heard the same rumor from three sources and believed that the clip of Gabby crying in 'The Bachelorette' season 19 trailer was due to Jason's decision to quit the show.
With Johnny's reluctance in getting engaged, it looks like Gabby was just left with Erich Schwer. According to various reports, Gabby reportedly gave her final rose to Erich, and the couple even got engaged! Considering these are all based on rumors and speculations, we'll have to just watch the show to see if this is how things panned out for Gabby.
'The Bachelorette' Season 19 airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC.
