Logan Palmer set all tongues wagging when he declared to Rachel Recchia that he wasn't interested in pursuing her, but instead had his heart set on Gabby Windey. 'The Bachelorette' fans watched in horror as Rachel broke down on learning how yet another suitor was ditching her publicly for another woman. Despite her heartbreak, she bravely sat down with Gabby and recounted her painful conversation with their suitor Logan.

Rachel urged Gabby not to give up on her connection with Logan if she was interested in him on account of how he ended things with her. Though Rachel was hoping for her best friend to kick Logan to the curb, in a surprise turn of events, it looks like Gabby decided to listen to Rachel's suggestion. Gabby not only agreed to have Logan on her team, but also gave him her final rose during the rose ceremony and saved him from elimination. While her first impression rose winner Mario and Michael were sent home. After watching the usually smart Gabby make the bizarre decision to save Logan, fans began conjuring up wild theories to explain her decision to save Logan. One popular theory amongst the fabs appears to be the producers pushing her into saving Logan.

Many fans are convinced that the dating show's producers must have asked Gabby to keep Logan around for the sake of drama. A fan tweeted, "Logan thinks Gabby gave him that rose but we all know it was the producers #TheBachelorette." "Mario the first impression rose goes home!! What?!?!? And Logan, would you please Shut the F up!!! You are a producer pick!! #TheBachelorette," wrote a fan.
