New installments of Bachelor Nation shows are often touted as the “most dramatic season ever,” and while it remains to be seen if The Bachelorette Season 19 will live up to that promise—as well as who Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia will pick at the end—we can say for certain that it's already off to a wild start, based on the spoilers we've seen so far.
For starters—and for the first time in the franchise’s history—there are two leading ladies looking for love on The Bachelorette this time around. Gabby and Rachel supported one another through their rocky journey on Clayton Echard’s recent Bachelor season, including that infamous "rose ceremony from hell" where he revealed he was in love with and had been intimate with both of them.
And after Clayton later broke up with both Gabby and Rachel—at the same time, no less—it’s safe to say Bachelor Nation is rooting for them to find love. "The highlight of this season was the camaraderie between Rachel and Gabby, and the empathy that those two women showed for one another," former Bachelor Nick Viall said on the PEOPLE Every Daypodcast, while former Bachelorette Michelle Youngwrote in an Instagram Story “Y’all will do so well!!”
Fans are equally excited to watch the pair’s journey, with one tweeting, “Could not be more excited about the new season of the Bachelorette! I hope Gabby and Rachel get their happy ending! They definitely deserve it!” Another added, “Gabby and Rachel’s friendship is everything to me bring on the double bachelorette season I am exhausted and excited.”
While a press release says the pair will “stand by each other’s side yet again as they set out on a journey to find love,” it’s unclear how ABC will adapt the show’s format this season to accommodate both Bachelorettes. For reference, Season 11 of the Bachelorette also started off with two stars, Kaitlyn Bristoweand Britt Nilsson, although, unlike on this season, the men picked just Bristowe to continue on.
“Everyone keeps asking. We just got thrown in,” Windey reportedly said on Good Morning America about how the new show format will work. “But I have faith and a lot of trust and I love Rachel to death. And I know we’re gonna have each other’s backs the whole way, so there’s really not a doubt in my mind that it’s gonna end up well.”

Rachel echoed her sentiments, saying in a Bachelor Nation video following the announcement. “I’m so ready to go through this with Gabby,” she said. “I had her by my side this whole time, and I can't wait to go through this journey again with her.”
Although there are likely several new twists and turns in store for Season 19, one thing will remain the same: There are sure to be plenty of spoilers. The season just started filming, so there’s limited speculation to go on so far. However, here’s what we know right now about Gabby and Rachel’s Season 19 of The Bachelorette, which premieres on Monday, July 11, 2022 at 8/7c on ABC.

Who do Gabby and Rachel pick on The Bachelorette Season 19 2022?
Only time will tell! Since filming started around March 26, it’s too soon to say who will capture the hearts of the show’s leads and walk away with the final roses. According to the press release, Windey, an ICU nurse and former Denver Broncos cheerleader, is searching for someone who has “quiet confidence” and who will “communicate his feelings and work hard to equally carry the weight of the relationship.” She added on the finale of The Bachelor, according to Cosmopolitan, that she’s hoping to find an “emotionally intelligent, mature” man “who can challenge me.”
Rachel's bio described her as a “hopeless romantic,” and says she “wants to find crazy, insane love that makes sense to no one else but her and her soul mate.” The pilot and flight instructor added following the finale that she wants “someone who is playful and funny and can make me laugh.”
The pair will likely consult one another before handing out those coveted corsages at rose ceremonies, as Windey told Bachelor Nation that being able to “get advice and just talk to someone when you really need it” would be a “huge blessing” on the joint season.

While filming for the first night of The Bachelorette Season 19 is already in the books, it’s not publicly known who walked away with the coveted first impression rose. (According to PEOPLE, over the years of the franchise, 10 first impression rose winners have gone on to win the whole thing.)
As for who won’t get a first impression rose, however, there are some spoilers. Bachelor spoiler guru Reality Stevepredicted that Koy Schneiter and Corbin Shaw were cut before the first night of filming.
Reality Steve also tweeted that Connor Brennan, who vied for KatieThurston’s heart on Season 17 and appeared on Bachelor in Paradise, would be back for Season 19. Brennan denied the news, however, replying to the tweet, “news to me lmao.” He later took to his own Twitter to further comment on the supposed spoiler, tweeting in part, “reality steve drops a dumba** rumor that i’m going back on bachelorette and suddenly i’m flooded with the meanest things anyone has ever said about me and a great reminder why i wouldn’t go back on the show.”
Will Gabby and Rachel get engaged on The Bachelorette Season 19?
Since the season has yet to finish filming, it remains unknown whether the leading ladies will leave the show with Neil Lane diamonds on their hands. Regardless of who they end up with, here’s to hoping their friendship remains strong. “It's crazy, this is insane. I'm excited to do this journey with you,” Rachel said on “After the Final Rose” of her friendship with Gabby. “We did it once together and we've been through the most crazy experience together.”
One fan speculated on Twitter, “I love Gabby and Rachel but there’s no way this doesn’t pit these two against each other. Every guy is gonna be asked the same question “who do you like more!” Executive producer Mike Fleiss responded to the tweetby assuring fans “Not true! You’ll see…”
