Is The Bachelorette on tonight, Tuesday, July 12? (Accept This Rose)

The Bachelorette is back with its 19th season as Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey take the charge as the season's leading ladies.

We can expect that there will only be one episode a week until we get to the end, but hey when Bachelor in Paradise airs we have two episodes a week! Usually, there are two-night episodes when the season is coming to a close, but not at the beginning or the middle. Most of the were not eager to make a move or just were incredibly slow in being proactive when it came to kissing.

There's No Way This 'Two Bachelorettes' Thing Is Going to Work (The Cut)

Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, both mercilessly dumped by Bachelor Clayton last season, are back. We know there are two bachelorettes — Gabby, Rachel, ...

We definitely know that Gabby and Rachel are going to Paris. We know that they are going to make out with multiple men. Instead, Gabby and Rachel sent the three biggest duds of the night home — the magician and the twins — and asked the rest of the men to stick around for another week, without explicitly handing out roses. Finally, after two hours of Gabby and Rachel wandering around the mansion, wondering what to do, host Jesse reappeared to kick off the Rose Ceremony. At this point, I thought we’d at least get some clarity on how the show is going to function this season: Would the men choose which bachelorette they wanted to date? Based on the footage shown last night, it appears that Gabby and Rachel only had time to talk to a handful of them. Host Jesse told the audience that it would be up to Gabby and Rachel to decide how to navigate their two-woman journey to find love. “Hopefully I meet my husband, and hopefully it’s not the same one that Rachel wants,” Gabby said in her now-trademark deadpan.

'The Bachelorette' Premiere Asks: Are Two Leads Better Than One? (Vanity Fair)

But Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia are not the first dual Bachelorettes—despite what production would have us believe.

One gets the impression that Windey and Recchia are playing coy during many of these joint intros, save for the occasional profession that someone is their “type.” That is, until Quincey (a.k.a. Prince), a life coach who tells the leads he hasn’t had sex in almost a year and a half. Once inside the mansion, the question of “how is this gonna work” (the episode’s drinking phrase) truly crystallizes. “It’s like going out on a night on the town with your best friend.” Still, the inherent strangeness of this conceit lingers: “Hopefully I meet my husband and hopefully it’s not the same one Rachel wants,” Windey quips. (Side note: everyone else heard the host’s odd ad-break plea to Bachelor applicants—“You’re boyfriend’s a loser, everybody knows it, dump his ass”—right?) There are odd job titles, of course—Chris is a “Mentality Coach,” Termayne emerges as “Crypto Guy,” and James is saddled with “Meatball Enthusiast” after arriving with a comically large hoagie. “But I know how two Bachelorettes felt, and it felt like we were being pitted against each other for the men to decide.” The twosome would only be coleads for one night, during which they were “competing for the honor of becoming this year’s Bachelorette,” as former host Chris Harrison put it.

The Bachelorette Season-Premiere Recap: Welcome to Girlie Season (Vulture)

Gabby and Rachel are here and they are ready to do some kissing. Ali Barthwell's recap of Week One of season 19 of The Bachelorette on ABC, the first season ...

They give their night one toast and we’re gonna have a problem because both of them want to be the last word in the toast. You see men in the background for the rest of the night chomping down on a section of sub. Tino gets Rachel’s first-impression rose and he can’t wait to tell the guys at his completely legitimate construction business, and Mario gets Gabby’s first-impression rose and … that was a surprise. I need them to set up a system where they alternate who ends the toast. Some of the guys are trying to make moves on both of them and there are two first-impression roses! He tells Rachel that he lives an hour away from her so she won’t have to move far if they end up together, and tells Gabby that he’s broken a few bones and wishes she was his nurse. But don’t expect this whole season to be Gabby and Rachel holding hands and giggling, because lest you forget, it’s the most shocking season of The Bachelorette yet! Gabby says good-bye to her dog and Rachel flies across the country??! There’s Chris the mentality coach, and I would appreciate a 15-minute presentation on what this man actually does. What if both of them like one of us?” I hate to break it to you guys, but I can’t see that happening. It’s time to meet our Bachelorettes! We have Rachel, the flight instructor with a heart of gold who is now capable of speaking above a whisper, and Gabby, an ICU nurse–slash–former NFL cheerleader with a sense of humor and a subtle Bump-It! They’re way hornier than anyone thinks and they’re both having a Hot Bimbo Summer! And they both were wronged by a Bachelor who got a check-minus in Communication Skills. They both make their way to the mansion. The time is right to shotgun an entire bottle of Champagne! Swap your outfit with your best girlie!!

Who Went Home On 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 Last Night? See ... (Women's Health)

34 contestants compete to win Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia hearts in the 19th season of ABC's 'The Bachelorette.' Here's who each woman sent home every ...

Neither one of the season's twins made it past the first round. The 33-year-old magician and consultant was sent home Week 1. There are plenty of weeks and rose ceremonies to go, so don't fret if you're missing the drama. But when it came time to make cuts, the co-bachelorettes canceled the first rose ceremony and eliminated three guys in a separate room. Now, Roby Sobieski, Justin Young, and Joey Young will no longer continue the quest for Rachel and Gabby's hearts. Things are looking quite different on this historic new season of The Bachelorette. Obviously, having two different bachelorettes on a quest to find their soulmates is...new. But Gabby Windey, 31, and Rachel Recchia, 26, know what they're doing.
