Even Jesse Palmer didn’t know how season 19 of The Bachelorette would work when ABC named Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia joint leads.
“When it was announced that they were gonna be the Bachelorettes back at After the Final Rose, [I thought], ‘Never done this before. How are they gonna be dating the guys? Who’s going on dates? How do they navigate this? This is all completely unprecedented,’” the 43-year-old former quarterback exclusively said on Us Weekly’s “Here for the Right Reasons” podcast ahead of the Monday, July 11, premiere. “Gabby and Rachel deserve a ton of credit because they really took control of this thing. They made up their own rules along the way, took charge.”
Jesse noted that the two women were “faced with a lot of very difficult circumstances and situations” and had “a lot of very difficult conversations [that] needed to be had” during the season.
“But at the end of the day, I think it was their friendship and their support of each other that really helped them through it all — magically, somehow,” he continued. “And I don’t know how [but] this whole thing just worked and I cannot wait for Bachelor Nation to see how it all unfolds because it’ll be like unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
The host admitted that there were “a lot of different scenarios that we could never anticipate” and that Gabby and Rachel “could not prepare for,” including potentially falling in love with the same guy or the same guy having feelings for both women.
“It’s two love stories, two completely different journeys, [but] people are gonna need a notebook — and take notes — to try to follow who’s dating who [and] what’s going on,” he said. “Because it’s literally double the love, double the drama and double the fun.”

Then, three men approached her during their group dating at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles telling her they didn’t feel a connection with her — with one man telling her she’s “rough around the edges” and another saying he wouldn’t continue if she were the only Bachelorette.The two Bachelorettes decided the best way to move forward was to change the format: If a man accepted a rose during that night’s rose ceremony, they were committing to moving forward with just the woman that offered them the rose. Rachel, 26, was rejected by three men who preferred her co-star. “I just feel so bad. And so rejected,” Rachel said to Gabby halfway through the ceremony. “This is how I felt last night,” Gabby responded.“But it was, like, private.
