BRUTAL FOR RACHEL AND GABBY.
FEELS LIKE THERE'S BEEN MORE
SCANDAL AND BETRAYAL THAN TRUE
LOVE.
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HAPPILY EVER
AFTER IS A MILLION MILES AWAY.
THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE.
MAYBE TONIGHT TINO CAN CONVINCE
RACHEL THAT HIS INDISCRETIONS
WERE JUST A MOMENTARY LAPSE OF
JUDGMENT AND MAY BE ERICH CAN
EXPLAIN AWAY THOSE DAMNING TEXT
MEASURES IS SENT TO HIS
GIRLFRIEND BEFORE STEPPING OUT
OF THE LIMO.

EVERLASTING LOVE COME CRASHING
DOWN?
>> I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE
THIS.
I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DRAMATIC.
>> AM I CRAZY, OR DID THAT JUST
HAPPEN?
>> JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT'S
OVER...
>> JUST GET ME OUT OF THIS.
>> GUESS AGAIN.
>> I TRIED TO BE 100% HONEST
WITH YOU.

FATEFUL DAY IN MEXICO?

SEASON EVER.
WE WILL GET TO IT WHEN
"THE BACHELORETTE" SEASON FINALE

[APPLAUSE]
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE FINALE OF
"THE BACHELORETTE."
WE ARE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM
LOS ANGELES.
OUR BACHELORETTES RACHEL AND
GABBY OF COURSE ARE HERE AS WELL
ALONG WITH MANY OF OUR FRIENDS
FROM THE PAST.
GABBY, AT THIS POINT IN THE
JOURNEY, YOU'VE GOT ONE GUY
LEFT, THAT ERICH.
RACHEL, YOU HAVE ONE GUY LEFT
AND THAT'S TINO.
IS IT GOING TO AND IN HAPPINESS
AND LOVE FOR THE BACHELORETTES
OR WILL IT ALL GO TERRIBLY
WRONG?
LET'S FIND OUT.
>> I DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE
THIS.
LIKE, I DON'T -- I'M NOT TRYING
TO BE DRAMATIC.
HE SAID, "I WANT TO LEAVE HERE,
AND I WANT TO DATE YOU."
NOBODY COULD TELL ME I'M CRAZY.
DID YOU HEAR WHAT HE SAID TO ME?
I KNOW WITH EVERY BONE IN MY
BODY THAT ERICH AND I ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE TOGETHER.
BUT I NEED HIM TO PROPOSE TO ME.
I CAN TALK TO HIM ONE LAST TIME,
AND WE CAN SEE.
ALL I KNOW IS TO KIND OF PREPARE
MYSELF FOR REJECTION.
SO, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE EASY.
[KNOCKING]
I WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE
WHO WANTS TO BE WITH ME.
SO, IN THAT MOMENT, I WANTED TO
HEAR HIM OUT IN CASE I WANTED TO
[BLEEP] WALK AWAY.
I JUST NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
AND I WANT YOU TO BE HONEST
WITH ME.
>> YEAH.
AT THIS POINT, LIKE, IF WE WERE
TO END RIGHT NOW, I'D BE [BLEEP]
DESTROYED.
LIKE, IF YOU WERE TO JUST WALK
AWAY AND KEPT WALKING...
BUT I SERIOUSLY HAVE FALLEN FOR
YOU, AND I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE
WITH YOU, AND I JUST WANT TO,
LIKE, LEAVE HERE WITH YOU.
AND WHATEVER THAT TAKES.
THE, LIKE, THE UNDERLYING THING
IS THAT, LIKE, I THINK WHAT WE
HAVE IS GENUINELY REAL, WHICH I
NEVER [BLEEP] EXPECTED.
AND I THINK THAT'S THIS IS WHY
THIS IS ALL -- LIKE, I'M GETTING
[BLEEP] EMOTIONAL.
I'VE TRIED TO BE 100% HONEST
WITH YOU.

REAL.

EMOTIONS.

MY DREAMS.
BUT I'M JUST NERVOUS BECAUSE
THIS IS, LIKE, THE DAY I'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR MY WHOLE LIFE.
I HAVE BEEN THROUGH A LOT, BUT
IT WAS SO WORTH IT, BECAUSE I
COULDN'T HAVE IMAGINED THAT I
COULD EVER END UP WITH SOMEONE
AS INCREDIBLE AS TINO.
I GAVE HIM MY FIRST ROSE, AND
NOW I GET TO GIVE HIM MY LAST
ONE.
AND TODAY COULD BE THE BEGINNING
OF THE REST OF MY LIFE.
HE'S NEVER GIVEN ME ANY REASON
TO DOUBT HIM.
BUT NO MATTER WHAT, YOU STILL DO
HAVE THAT LITTLE BIT OF, LIKE,
DOUBT IN YOUR HEAD.
THIS IS A REALLY BIG STEP.

AN ENGAGEMENT BUT IT IS KIND OF
LOOKING HIM IN THE FACE AT THIS
POINT, AND I THINK PEOPLE CAN
GET SCARED.

UNDENIABLE.
AND I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I
TRULY HAVE NEVER MET ANYONE IN
MY LIFE LIKE YOU.
SOMEONE WHO'S JUST SO SELFLESS
AND GENTLE AND SUPPORTIVE AND
MAKES ME WANT TO BE A BETTER
PERSON EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THIS JOURNEY HAS BEEN SO HARD
FOR ME.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I DIDN'T
THINK ANYONE WAS HERE FOR ME,
AND I DIDN'T FEEL DESERVING AT
ALL OF THIS ROLE I WAS GIVEN.
BUT I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN A
MILLION TIMES TO BE HAVING YOU
IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW.
I DON'T FEEL LIKE I COULD BE
HAPPIER THAN I AM IN THIS MOMENT
BECAUSE I AM SO MADLY IN LOVE
WITH YOU.
AND I CANNOT WAIT TO SPEND THE
REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU.
[GIGGLES]
>> I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN BLINDSIDED
IN THE PAST.
YOU'VE SEEN LOVE GIVEN
AND TAKEN AWAY.
AND WITH EVERYTHING WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH, THE LAST THING I WANT
TO EVER DO IS BREAK YOUR HEART.
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING I'VE GOT
TO SAY.
THIS IS NEVER GOING AWAY.
THE FIRST NIGHT, I WAS MORE
NERVOUS THAN I EVER HAVE BEEN IN
MY LIFE.
AND THE SECOND I GRABBED YOUR
HAND TO TAKE YOU TO THE STAIRS,
MAGICALLY, EFFORTLESSLY, YOU
MADE ME FEEL CALM AND CONFIDENT.
AND NOW I'M STANDING HERE ON THE
BIGGEST DAY OF MY LIFE AND YET
AGAIN, YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO
CONFIDENT.
I KNOW I'VE SAID IN THE PAST,
LIKE, I'M NOT THE MOST SPIRITUAL
GUY, BUT THIS JOURNEY REALLY DID
MAKE ME BELIEVE IN FATE.
YOU'RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
IN THE WORLD.
YOUR COMPASSION,
YOUR WIT, YOUR CHARM, YOUR
INTELLIGENCE MAKE ME FALL IN
LOVE WITH YOU MORE AND MORE
EVERY TIME I SEE YOU.
EVERY TIME WE'RE TOGETHER,
YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE THE CENTER
OF YOUR UNIVERSE.
AND I'M HERE TODAY TO SHOW YOU
THE CENTER OF MINE.
THIS CRAZY LOVE IS GOING TO LOOK
TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE TO SOME
PEOPLE.
BUT IT'S AS REAL AS IT CAN BE.
AND QUITE FRANKLY THE ONLY
PERSON I CARE ABOUT
UNDERSTANDING THAT IS STANDING
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW.
YOU...
RACHEL, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO LOVE YOU
UNTIL THE END OF TIME.
AND YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO LOVED
AND VALUED AND APPRECIATED THAT
I WANT TO DEDICATE THE REST OF
MY LIFE TO MAKING YOU FEEL
CHERISHED AND LOVED THE WAY YOU
DESERVE.
I'M SO HOPELESSLY IN LOVE
WITH YOU.
YOU'RE THE WOMAN OF MY DREAMS,

QUESTION TO ASK.
>> OH, MY GOD.
OH.

>> I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU.
SO, I THINK THERE'S ONE MORE
THING.
TINO, WILL YOU ACCEPT
THIS FINAL ROSE?
>> ALWAYS.
>> OH, MY GOSH.
>> both: WE'RE ENGAGED!
>> [CHEERING]
>> THIS FEELS LIKE A DREAM.
THAT'S HOW IT USUALLY IS WITH
YOU BUT THIS ONE'S DIFFERENT.
>> I TRULY COULD NOT IMAGINE
SPENDING MY LIFE WITH ANYONE
ELSE.
OKAY, LET'S LEAVE.
>> LET'S DO IT.
>> LET'S O.
[LAUGHS]
I'M SO HAPPY.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT
IN MY LIFE, AND I LOVE YOU.
OOH, OKAY.
WHAT IF IT STARTS RUNNING
>> I'M HOLDING YOU.
>> [LAUGHS]
DOES IT KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING?
>> GO LEFT.
>> NO, NO.
OH, MY GOD, WE'RE LEAVING.
BYE.
[HORSE NEIGHS]
[APPLAUSE]
>> WELL, I FOR ONE REMEMBER THAT
DAY LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
RACHEL, YOU LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL.
YOU WERE SO HAPPY.
YOU WERE JUST GLOWING, THE
BEAUTIFUL RING ON YOUR FINGER.
WATCH YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSION
SEEING THAT VIDEO, I CAN TELL
THAT THIS ISN'T THE END OF THE
STORY BETWEEN U. N. TINO.
WHEN WE RETURN, YOU'RE GOING TO
WITNESS SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE
NEVER SEEN BEFORE EVER APPEARED
YOU MIGHT NEED A GLASS OF WINE
FOR THIS ONE.
DON'T GO AWAY.
[APPLAUSE]
>> WELCOME BACK,
BACHELOR NATION.
THIS IS OF COURSE THE LIVE
FINALE THAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN
WAITING FOR AND I'M HERE NOW
WITH RACHEL AND WE WATCHED TINO
PROPOSE END OF COURSE SHE
ACCEPTED.
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT THAT
APPEARED TO BE.
RACHEL, WHEN I WAS WATCHING YOU
WATCH THE VIDEO COULD BARELY
BRING YOURSELF TO WATCH THAT
BACK SO I KNOW THERE'S A LOT
MORE TO THE STORY.
SO CATCH US OUT FINALLY ON
EVIDENCE HAPPEN BETWEEN BOTH YOU
AND TINO SINCE THAT MAGICAL DAY
IN MEXICO.
>> YEAH.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT
OF EMOTIONS WATCHING IT BACK.
I REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW I FELT.
I TRULY FELT LIKE I HAD FOUND MY
PERSON.
I WAS REALLY DONE.
I WAS EXCITED TO LEAVE AND
LEAVING MEXICO WITH THE HOPE FOR
THE FUTURE.
AND I MEAN, IT WAS REALLY GREAT
FOR A WHILE.
I THINK EVERY SINGLE
BACHELORETTES, BACHELORETTES
EVER SAT ON THIS COUCH KNOWS
THAT WHEN YOU LEAVE, THERE ARE
JUST NATURAL GROWING PAINS IN
YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
YOUR DATING LONG DISTANCE.
YOU'RE GETTING TO KNOW EACH
OTHER BETTER.
IT'S DIFFICULT.
WE WENT THROUGH A DIFFICULT
TIME.
THAT JUST COMES WITH HAVING YOUR
LIFE ON SCREEN.
AROUND THE TIME OF THE PREMIER,
WE JUST STARTED GOING THROUGH A
DIFFICULT TIME.
I MEAN, WHEN YOU PUT YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE AND
JUDGE, IT'S DEFINITELY
DIFFICULT.
I'M NOT SAYING I'M PERFECT.
I'VE MADE MORE THAN ENOUGH
MISTAKES AND I'LL BE THE FIRST
TO ADMIT IT.
WE DEFINITELY HAD SOME
DIFFICULTIES IN OUR
RELATIONSHIP, BUT THROUGHOUT IT
ALL, I FELT LIKE I ALWAYS TRIED.
THAT'S ALL I WANTED OUT OF A
PARTNER WAS SOMEONE WHO WAS
GOING TO STAND NEXT TO ME AND
SUPPORT ME.
AROUND THAT TIME, I JUST WASN'T
FEELING THAT SUPPORT.
IF I'M NOT FEELING IT, I'M
PROBABLY -- I PROBABLY WASN'T
GIVING IT AS WELL.
WE TOOK SOME TIME AND TRY TO
FIGURE HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AND
FOR THE MOST PART I THOUGHT WE
HAD AND WE ARE AT SUCH A GREAT
PLACE AGAIN, KIND OF MOVING EVEN
FARTHER BEYOND WHERE I THOUGHT
WE COULD BE SITTING ON THIS
COUCH TODAY BUT IT DIDN'T TURN
OUT THAT WAY.
>> SO THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
>> A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER WE HAD
SOME DIFFICULTY AFTER THINGS HAD
STARTED GETTING BETTER, HE
BROUGHT FORTH TO ME SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT MAYBE
RELATIONSHIPS FROM THE PAST
COMING FORWARD AND ALLUDING TO
CERTAIN THINGS.
AND I TOLD HIM, YOU KNOW, IF IT
HAPPENED IN THE PAST, LET'S TALK
IT THROUGH.
LET'S GET PAST IT.
HE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO TELL
ME.
WE SPENT THE REST OF THE WEEK
TOGETHER, AND WHEN I GOT HOME,
GOT A PHONE CALL FROM HIM AGAIN
ALLUDING TO PREVIOUS
RELATIONSHIPS AND THINGS COMING
TO LIGHT.
I SLOWLY WAS PULLING ON THAT
STRING AND REVEALING MORE AND
MORE.
AND I MEAN, I THINK EVERYONE
KNOWS OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T REALLY
WORK OUT.
HE CHEATED ON ME.
>> I'M SO SORRY TO HEAR YOU SAY
THAT.
ARE YOU DOING OKAY?
>> NO.
>> I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
DEVASTATING IT MUST'VE BEEN TO
HEAR THAT.
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION WHEN HE
TOLD YOU HE CHEATED ON YOU?
>> I MEAN, IT'S JUST
HEARTBREAKING.
THIS IS THE PERSON I THOUGHT I
WAS GOING TO SPEND THE REST OF
MY LIFE WITH AND START A FAMILY
WITH.
WE WENT THROUGH DIFFICULT TIMES
WOULD EVERY SINGLE RELATIONSHIP
HAS TO BUILD ON THAT.
YOU CAN'T REALLY JUST LEAVE IT
WHEN THERE'S A BIT OF A CRACK IN
THE GLASS.
IT'S NOT JUST PHYSICAL.
IT'S EMOTIONAL.
IT'S TEXTING.
IT'S SO MANY THINGS THAT COME
TOGETHER AND JUST PILE ON.
IT'S BROKEN TRUST AT THE END OF
THE DAY AND IT'S REALLY
HEARTBREAKING TO WATCH BACK AND
HAVE TO RELIVE IT.
>> AGAIN, I AM SO, SO SORRY.
I KNOW THAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR
HAPPINESS AND LOVE THAT THE END
OF ALL THIS.
I CAN SEE YOU'RE GETTING
EMOTIONAL NOW JUST HAVING TO
RELIVE IT.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU
DESERVE.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU WERE EXPECTING
AT THE END OF ALL OF THIS.
NOW, YOU DID END UP CONFRONTING
TINO IN PERSON TO TALK ABOUT ALL
THIS, RIGHT?
>> I DID.
>> WE ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU AT
HOME THAT CONVERSATION THEY HAD
AND I WANT TO WARN YOU,
BACHELOR NATION, THIS IS ROUGH
BUT THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
HERE WE GO.
♪
>> TODAY WILL BE THE FIRST TIME
I SPEAK TO TINO SINCE HE TOLD ME
THAT HE CHEATED ON ME.
[KNOCKING]
>> HI.
I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE I DON'T
KNOW THE FULL TRUTH, AND SO, I
JUST CALLED GABBY IMMEDIATELY,
AND THEN I WAS LIKE, TINO JUST
CHEATED ON ME.
YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN
THROUGH THIS WITH YOU.
SHE'S SEEN OUR RELATIONSHIP
FROM THE MOMENT WE MET.
I WANT SOME INSIGHT ON, LIKE,
WHAT SHE THINKS AND --
LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S JUST CRAZY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
>> I KNOW.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
LIKE, I JUST DIDN'T EVER
EXPECT IT FROM HIM.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION.
ABOUT HIM!
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S LIKE, I'M LITERALLY
TALKING, AND I KNOW IT'S ABOUT
HIM, BUT IN MY MIND, LIKE,
THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS...
>> HIM.
>> BECAUSE IT'S SO FAR OFF WHAT
WE THOUGHT HIS CHARACTER WAS.
>> RIGHT.
YEAH.
HOW DO YOU, LIKE, FEEL
EMOTIONALLY?
YOU'RE NOT WEARING YOUR RING.
>> YEAH.
IT'S LIKE I GENUINELY DON'T WANT
TO BELIEVE IT HAPPENED BECAUSE
IT'S SO CRAZY, THAT IT'S NOT
JUST LIKE ONE THING HAPPENED.
IT'S LIKE SO MANY THINGS
TUMBLING INTO A BIG PROBLEM THAT
HE LIED ABOUT AND HAD THE FULL
WEEKEND TO TELL ME THIS.
>> RIGHT.
AND I THINK HE'S JUST, LIKE,
ACTING OUT OF A PLACE --
I DON'T -- I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
OF SELFISHNESS, REALLY.
>> OF LITERALLY ONLY CARING
ABOUT HOW HE'S GOING TO LOOK.
>> MM-HMM, YEAH.
>> THAT'S THE ONLY THING HE
CARES ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
HE LITERALLY WAS LIKE,
"I REGRET TELLING YOU."
>> LIKE, HE WAS SO GUNG HO
ON YOU.
MAKING AN ASS OUT OF HIMSELF
BECAUSE HE WANTED YOU SO BAD.
WHERE IS THAT NOW?
>> AND YOU CAN'T BE FORGIVEN
WHEN YOU'RE NOT SORRY FOR WHAT
YOU DID, BECAUSE YOU NEVER WERE
LIKE, "OH, I'M SO SORRY I DID
THIS."
IT'S, "OH, MY GOD, I SHOULD HAVE
NEVER TOLD YOU THIS."
>> HE'S NEVER SAID SORRY?
>> I MEAN, I'M SURE HE'S BEEN
LIKE, "I'M SORRY," BUT HE'S
NEVER BEEN LIKE, "WHAT I DID WAS
HORRIBLE, I MESSED UP, I'M SO
SORRY."
IT'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THAT.
IT WAS JUST, "I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH, I REALLY SEE YOU AS MY
FUTURE, AND I WANT US TO WORK ON
THIS."
THAT'S -- THAT'S LIKE IF WE JUST
HAD A RANDOM FIGHT.
THAT'S SOMETHING YOU SAY.
NOT WHEN YOU CHEAT.
>> RIGHT, RIGHT.
AND THAT'S NOT YOUR FIRST
RESPONSE, IS TO SAY,
"I SHOULDN'T HAVE EVER TOLD YOU
THIS."
>> MM-HMM.
AND DON'T TELL ANYONE.
>> NO, NO.
>> LITERALLY HANG UP, CALL YOU
IMMEDIATELY, LIKE --
YOU DON'T WANT ME TO HAVE
SUPPORT IN THIS TIME?
YOU JUST WANT ME TO SIT BY YOU
AT "AFTER THE FINAL ROSE" AND
ACT LIKE NONE OF THIS HAPPENED
BECAUSE YOU WANT ME TO PROTECT
YOUR IMAGE?
>> RIGHT.
HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF.
"DON'T TELL ANYONE BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT'S BEST FOR ME."
BUT WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU?
DO YOU THINK, LIKE -- BECAUSE I
FEEL LIKE HE'S GOING TO COME AND
SAY, YOU KNOW, "WE WEREN'T
TOGETHER.
I THOUGHT WE WERE BROKEN UP."
BUT YOU GUYS HAD NEVER ACTUALLY
BEEN ON A BREAK, RIGHT?
>> NO.
WE NEVER CALLED OFF THE
ENGAGEMENT.
WE NEVER BROKE UP.
>> SO HE REALLY DOESN'T EVEN
HAVE THAT, LIKE, THAT GROUND TO
STAND ON.
>> I JUST, LIKE, DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT TO DO OR SAY.
LIKE, IF YOU WERE IN THIS
SITUATION, LIKE, HOW WOULD YOU
HANDLE IT?
>> YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO
TELL HIM EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING AND HOW AND WHEN YOU
WERE WRONGED AND THAT YOU DO
NEED AND DESERVE BETTER, BECAUSE
HE PUT YOU IN THIS POSITION.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND HE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE
CONSEQUENCES.
LIKE, HONESTLY, [BLEEP] HIM,
AND KICK HIM
IN THE [BLEEP] BALLS.
YOU DON'T DESERVE THIS.
[KNOCKING]
>> HI.
CAN I --
>> MM-HMM.
WE'RE GOING TO SIT OVER HERE.
ARE YOU GOING TO START?
>> DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?
>> YOU WANT ME TO GO FIRST
RIGHT NOW?
>> I CAN GO FIRST.
>> YEAH.
>> SO, I MESSED UP, AND I KISSED
ANOTHER GIRL, BUT THE SECOND I
DID, I KNEW I BELONGED WITH YOU.
AND THIS WAS THE TINIEST THING
EVER, SO I -- I JUST TRIED TO --
LIKE, I'M NOT TAKING AWAY FROM,
LIKE, WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL, AND
THE EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER IT
PUTS YOU IN, BUT I JUST -- I
TRIED TO JUST GET PAST IT AND...
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?
>> EVERYTHING.
>> OKAY.
IT WAS A GIRL.
>> MM-HMM.
>> BEFORE THE SHOW, NEVER WENT
ON A DATE, DIDN'T DO ANYTHING
BEFORE.
JUST KIND OF A PASSING, OH, YOU
KNOW, I'M GOING ON THIS SHOW,
BETTER NOT MUDDY THE WATER,
YOU KNOW, BEFORE I GO IN.
SHOW ENDS.
NOTHING REALLY COMES OF IT,
YOU KNOW, LIKE, RUN INTO EACH
OTHER AT A BAR, WE HAVE A LOT OF
CATCHING UP TO DO.
THEN, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE
PREMIERE WEEK WHERE I CALLED
YOU.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND THERE WAS SOME STUFF THAT
I HEARD THAT WEEK THAT,
YOU KNOW, WE -- WE --
LIKE, YOU TOLD ME, AND I
ACTUALLY DREW BACK FROM MY
JOURNAL BECAUSE THE
STUFF YOU SAID HURT SO MUCH.
YOU SAID, "I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS
IS GOING TO WORK.
I'M IN A BAD PLACE, AND I CAN'T
PUT ANY EFFORT INTO THIS.
I CAN'T DO HAPPY COUPLES THIS
WEEKEND LIKE WE PLANNED, AND IF
WE DO ONE, I DON'T WANT TO SLEEP
THERE."
JOKINGLY, "WOULD YOU BE THE NEXT
BACHELOR?"
THAT HURT --
>> DO YOU WANT TO BRING THAT UP
WHEN YOU ANSWERED IT LIKE YOU
WOULD?
>> I ABSOLUTELY DIDN'T.
I TOLD YOU I WOULDN'T DO IT
BECAUSE IF IT DIDN'T WORK OUT
WITH US, I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IN
THIS PROCESS.
"I'M GIVING BACK THE RING.
I CAN'T WEAR IT TO "AFR."
I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THERAPY.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ANYBODY
ABOUT THIS."
>> TINO, LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES
AND DO NOT LIE.
>> THAT IS NOT A LIE.
YOU WOULD NOT DO IT --
>> YOU ARE LITERALLY LYING
RIGHT NOW.
>> RACHEL, THAT IS NOT A LIE.
>> I AM TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW --
>> I WAS, LIKE, FORCING YOU.
YOU SAID, "WHY ARE YOU GOING
TO" -- OKAY, OKAY, YOU KNOW
WHAT?
>> I WENT TO THERAPY, AND THE
ONLY REASON IT WASN'T SCHEDULED
WAS BECAUSE I WAS IN NEW YORK
AND L. A. DOING PRESS,
AND YOU KNOW THAT.
I WAS EXHAUSTED.
AND AS A GOOD PARTNER,
YOU SHOULDN'T THROW THAT IN MY
FACE FOR SAYING, "I'M EXHAUSTED
RIGHT NOW."
AND YOU SAID, "WE DON'T EVEN
HAVE TO STAY IN THE SAME BED.
IF YOU'RE TIRED, YOU CAN JUST
SLEEP IN ANOTHER ROOM."
SO PROVIDE CONTEXT THEN IF
YOU'RE GOING TO PULL THESE
RECEIPTS BACK OUT FOR ME.
WE WERE IN A BAD PLACE, BUT
EVERY SINGLE THING YOU ASKED ME
TO DO, I DID IT BEFORE --
>> I KNOW.
>> I GOT OUT OF BED THE NEXT
MORNING.
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO THROW
IT IN MY FACE?
>> NO, YOU DID IT A WEEK LATER,
RACHEL.
>> NO, I DIDN'T.
I WOKE UP, AND I CALLED YOU THAT
DAY AND YOU SAID, "OH, MY GOD,
THANK YOU SO MUCH, LIKE, YOU ARE
ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE STEPS."
>> I KNOW, I SAID THAT, BECAUSE
I APPRECIATED YOU SO MUCH.
>> AND IT WAS THE NEXT DAY.
SO DON'T LIE AND SY IT WAS THE
NEXT WEEK.
THAT IS LITERALLY FALSE.
HOW DARE YOU BRING THIS TO ME
WITHOUT CONTEXT OF WHY THESE
THINGS MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAID OR
MAYBE WHY WE WERE IN A BAD
PLACE, BECAUSE, YES, WE WERE
GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME, BUT
NEVER ONCE DID WE EVER SAY,
"WE ARE BROKEN UP.
WE ARE NOT ENGAGED."
>> I AGREE, I AGREE.
>> I WAS GOING THROUGH A HARD
TIME, AND YOU KNOW IT HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU EVER OR
OUR RELATIONSHIP.
I WAS GOING THROUGH MY OWN HARD
TIME, BUT I THOUGHT WE WERE SO
PAST THIS POINT --
>> HOLD ON.
SAYING "I'M GIVING THE RING
BACK" --
>> I NEVER SAID "I'M GIVING THE
RING BACK" --
>> YES, YOU DID.
YES, YOU DID.
>> I SAID, "IF WE GO BACK TO
DATING, THEN I'M NOT GOING TO
WEAR IT AT AFR."
>> YOU SAID, "I'M GIVING IT
BACK.
I CAN'T WEAR IT."
>> OKAY, THAT'S FALSE.
THAT'S LITERALLY FALSE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
BUT -- BUT I DON'T WANT --
I JUST, LIKE, THIS --
>> YOU'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE ME
LOOK LIKE --
>> NO, I DON'T -- YOU'RE NOT THE
BAD GUY.
I'M OWNING WHAT --
>> YOU ARE TRYING TO -- YOU ARE
TRYING TO SAY THAT WHAT YOU DID
WAS BECAUSE WE WERE IN A BAD
PLACE, SO WE WERE IN A BAD PLACE
WHERE WE NEVER BROKE UP, SO YOU
WENT AND CHEATED.
>> I DON'T WANT TO KEEP CIRCLING
BACK ON PAST STUFF.
I DON'T.
>> BECAUSE --
MM-HMM.
>> BUT IF YOU'VE ALREADY MADE UP
YOUR MIND ABOUT THIS, LIKE,
I DON'T, I DON'T REALLY KNOW.
>> I WANT US TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
>> DO YOU WANT US TO END UP
TOGETHER?
>> NOT ONCE HAVE YOU SAID "I'M
SORRY" ABOUT ALL THIS.
>> DO YOU WANT US TO WORK OUT?
RACHEL, I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THIS.
I THOUGHT I'VE TOLD YOU THIS
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> ARE YOU SORRY ABOUT IT OR ARE
YOU SORRY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T
WANT TO GET CAUGHT?
>> NO, I'M SORRY ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE I WAS HAUNTED BY IT,
RACHEL.
I, LIKE -- WHEN WE MET UP IN
PERSON, I WAS LIKE --
>> AND FOR FOUR DAYS, YOU SAT ON
THIS INFORMATION, SAT IN FRONT
OF ME, AND YOU NEVER ONCE
THOUGHT TO TELL ME THAT YOU WERE
CHEATING ON ME.
>> OH, MY --
RACHEL, IT WAS A ONE-TIME
MISTAKE, AND I REALIZED
IMMEDIATELY THAT I NEEDED TO BE
WITH YOU.
>> IT'S NOT A MISTAKE.
YOU MADE A CONSCIOUS CHOICE TO
MAKE ALL THESE DECISIONS IN A
ROW THAT LED TO, LET'S SAY IT'S
YOUR ONE-TIME KISS,
WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT.
>> IT WAS.
>> DOUBT IT.
>> I 100% PROMISE YOU THAT.
>> AND THAT'S FINE.
BUT THEN, OKAY --
>> OKAY, IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
THAT, THEN WHY ARE WE HERE?
OKAY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M NOT --
I'M NOT TRYING TO PANIC.
I'M -- IS THERE A WAY THIS WORKS
OUT, RACHEL?
>> HONESTLY?
DO YOU THINK YOU DESERVE TO BE
WITH ME?
>> YES.
>> YOU REALLY DO?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> I THINK YOU OWE ME A LOT OF
ANSWERS BEFORE WE COME TO ANY
SORT OF A CONCLUSION.
>> I NEED TO STEP OUT
FOR A SECOND.
>> OKAY.
>> WHERE THE [BLEEP] IS IT?
THIS IS [BLEEP] GOING NOWHERE.
SHE JUST WANTS TO [BLEEP]
BEAT ME UP.
SHE'S THROWING ME UNDER THE BUS,
SAYING ALL THIS IS LIES?
>> IS THIS FOR REAL?
I FEEL LIKE MY HEAD IS SPINNING
RIGHT NOW.
>> OH, MY GOD.
AND SHE'S JUST -- THIS IS LIKE
NOTHING MORE THAN JUST MAKE ME
LOOK BAD.
SHE'S TOTALLY CRUCIFYING ME, AND
SHE JUST CALLED IT ALL [BLEEP].
LIKE SHE WAS WORKING ON IT
THE WHOLE TIME.
GET ME OUT OF THIS.
JUST TELL HER TO BREAK UP
WITH ME.
LET ME OUT.
>> WHAT DID YOU WANT OUT OF
THIS?
>> WHAT DO I WANT OUT OF THIS?
>> YEAH.
>> I WANT ANSWERS FROM YOU THAT
I TRULY, IN MY HEART OF HEARTS,
BELIEVE THAT I DESERVE.
YOU'RE NOT TAKING ACCOUNTABILITY
AT ALL.
THIS IS STRAIGHT-UP SHATTERING
EVERYTHING THAT YOU PROMISED ME.
AND YOU -- YOU CAME IN HERE TO
TURN IT AROUND ON ME?
>> NO.
I DON'T WANT TO EXCUSE MY
ACTIONS, RACHEL.
I WANTED TO OWN THEM
WHEN I TOLD YOU.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE
WERE PRETTY MUCH DONE, BUT THEN
WE STARTED ON THE RIGHT
TRAJECTORY.
YOU STARTED SEEING THERAPY.
YOU DID AMAZING.
YOU DID EVERYTHING I ASKED.
>> MM-HMM.
>> SO, AS IT WENT ON, YOU KNOW,
I -- I KIND OF JUST TRIED TO
FORGIVE MYSELF, BURY IT, JUST
NOT GET IN YOUR HAIR OVER
SOMETHING SO TINY.
I -- I TOTALLY GET THE EMOTIONAL
BETRAYAL, BUT, LIKE, I JUST
DIDN'T WANT TO PILE ON TO YOU,
AND THEN --
>> DO YOU HEAR THE WORDS COMING
OUT OF YOUR MOUTH?
>> YEAH.
AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU WHAT I
THOUGHT WAS TRUTH, RACHEL.
>> YOU JUST CALLED IT "TINY."
YOU ARE TRYING TO MINIMIZE WHAT
IT IS, AND I LITERALLY WOULD
RESPECT YOU SO MUCH MORE IF YOU
JUST TOLD ME EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED.
>> BUT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.
>> YOU JUST SAID YOU THOUGHT WE
WERE BROKEN UP.
>> NO, NO --
>> BUT THEN YOU TOLD HER
"I'M ENGAGED."
SO THIS WHOLE TIME,
ARE WE NOT ENGAGED?
BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU
TOLD HER AFTER YOU KISSED HER.
>> I'M CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT PART?
I'LL CLARIFY IT.
>> I -- I DON'T KNOW.
BECAUSE THIS WAS JUST, LIKE,
A LOT OF, LIKE, STUFF YOU SAID I
SAID, AND I'M JUST LIKE --
>> TINO, PLEASE, PLEASE, FOR THE
LOVE OF GOD, IF YOU RESPECT ME
AT ALL, PLEASE JUST TELL THE
TRUTH.
YES, THERE'S --
>> I NEED TO STEP OUT.
I'M SORRY.
>> THIS JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE,
BECAUSE HE CAN'T EVEN HAVE
A FULL CONVERSATION WITH ME
WITHOUT WALKING OFF.
HE CAN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE.
>> [INDISTINCT]
>> ARE YOU LEAVING?
>> NO.
>> THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> JUST NEEDED TO TALK TO
SOMEBODY.
LET'S GO BACK INSIDE.
WHY -- WHY DID YOU COME OUT?
>> BECAUSE DON'T YOU THINK I AM
OWED AN ANSWER FOR WHY YOU DID
WHAT YOU DID, THE TIMELINE,
EVERYTHING.
DON'T YOU THINK 'M OWED THOSE
THINGS?
>> YEAH!
>> YOU GOT ON ONE KNEE AND
PROPOSED TO ME, AND NOW, AFTER
AN AMAZING WEEKEND WHERE WE
TALKED ABOUT, WE CAN'T WAIT FOR
"AFTER THE FINAL ROSE" AND
MOVING TO L. A. AND BEING
TOGETHER --
>> LET'S JUST GO INSIDE.
>> TINO, LIKE --
>> LET'S JUST GO INSIDE.
RACHEL.
I JUST --
I --
RACHEL, I DO LOVE YOU.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND THAT'S WHY I HAD TO TELL
YOU.
>> YOU HAD TO TELL ME, OR I
FORCED IT OUT OF YOU AND THEN
IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU SAID,
"I WISH I NEVER TOLD YOU."
>> I WAS PANICKED, RACHEL.
I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO LOSE
YOU.
RACHEL, WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH
THIS.
WE CAN.
I KNOW WE CAN.
WE ARE WORTH THAT.
I'M SORRY.
I'LL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE
MAKING IT UP TO YOU.
RACHEL, YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE
I WANT.
I'LL TAKE YOU AT OUR LOWEST OVER
ANYBODY ELSE AT THEIR HIGHEST.
>> MM-HMM.
>> I SWEAR, I JUST WANT YOU.
>> I AM DONE.
THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL FOR ME.
I WANTED TO DO THIS ONE TIME.
>> THEN DON'T GIVE UP.
>> I'M DONE.
>> THEN DON'T GIVE UP.
>> I'M DONE.
>> YOU DESERVE SOMEBODY AMAZING.
>> MM-HMM.
>> WHO DOESN'T DO THIS.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME,
AND I LET ME YOU DOWN.
>> MM-HMM.
>> AND I'M REALLY SORRY.
♪
>> [SIGHS]
AM I CRAZY?
OR DID THAT JUST HAPPEN?
I ACTUALLY FEEL CRAZY.
LIKE, I FEEL LIKE I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
♪
[SIGHS]
I TRIED.
FICO I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO
SAY.
I'M SO, SO SORRY.
FOR ME PERSONALLY THAT WAS
REALLY DIFFICULT TO WATCH.
GABBY IS STILL HERE.
SHE HAS DECIDED TO STEP AWAY TO
GIVE RACHEL SOME SPACE FOR
WHAT'S COMING UP NEXT.
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW EVERYBODY
HERE IS HERE SUPPORTING YOU FOR
THIS.
I'VE GOT TO KNOW, WHAT HAPPENED
THESE LAST COUPLE WEEKS, HOW
DIFFICULT HAS IT BEEN?
>> IT'S HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS.
IT'S HARD TO WATCH THIS BACK.
HOW CAN YOU GO FROM BEING SO
SURE TO THAT.
>> HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HEAR AND
FEEL ALL THE SUPPORT YOU'RE
GETTING FROM OUR LIVE AUDIENCE
HERE TONIGHT AND OUR
BACHELORETTES.
I KNOW YOU'RE GOING THROUGH A
REALLY TOUGH TIME BUT I FEEL
LIKE EVERYBODY HERE REALLY IS
BEHIND RACHEL, RIGHT?
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, WHAT'S SO
HEARTBREAKING ABOUT THIS IS THE
FACT THAT EVERYBODY IS SEEING
ALL THE HEARTACHE YOU'VE GONE
THROUGH FOR THE PAST YEAR TRYING
TO FIND LOVE.
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED ON
CLAYTON'S SEASON.
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THIS
SEASON.
HERE YOU ARE HAVING TO LET GO OF
SOMETHING RIGHT AFTER YOU FELT
LIKE YOU FINALLY FOUND WHAT YOU
WERE LOOKING FOR IN LOVE.
HOW HEARTBREAKING WAS THAT FOR
YOU?
>> I MEAN, IT HAS BEEN SUCH A
LONG JOURNEY.
I MEAN, I REALLY FELT LIKE THE
LAST TIME I WAS SITTING ON THIS
COUCH THAT I WOULD BE UP HERE
WITH A RING ON MY FINGER, WITH
THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
AND I WORKED SO HARD, EVEN
THROUGH EVERYTHING, TO GET TO
THAT POINT, TO BE HAPPY.
TO NOW BE SITTING UP HERE IN THE
SAME EXACT POSITION I WAS IN
LESS TIME, IT'S REALLY HARD.
>> YOU HAD SUCH HIGH HOPES.
AT WHAT POINT IN THAT
CONVERSATION WITH TINO DID YOU
KNOW THE ENGAGEMENT WAS OVER OR
DID YOU KNOW GOING INTO THAT
CONVERSATION?
>> NO, I WAS CONFUSED.
I HAD FELT LIKE I WASN'T TOLD
THE FULL TRUTH.
WHEN HE TOLD ME FIRST, HE WAS
JUST GIVING THE LITTLE BITS OF
INFORMATION.
JUST TEXTING.
IT WAS JUST THIS.
AND THEN I JUST FELT WE NEEDED
TO BE IN PERSON AND HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION THAT I AM OLD
ANSWERS.
TO GET TO A POINT WHERE HE'S
JUST WALKING OUT AND WE ARE
SPINNING IN CIRCLES AND IS BEING
FLIPPED ON MEDIUM, THAT'S THE
POINT REALLY OUTSIDE WHERE I WAS
LIKE, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I THOUGHT HE WAS LEAVING.
HOW MY SUPPOSED TO MOVE FORWARD
FROM THAT?
YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE ME THE
ANSWERS THEY NEED.
>> IS THERE ANYTHING HE COULD
HAVE SAID OR DONE IN THAT MOMENT
TO SAVE THE RELATIONSHIP?
>> I MEAN, HE WASN'T EVEN SORRY
SO I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE
THERE'S MUCH YOU CAN DO WHEN
SOMEONE ISN'T APOLOGETIC.
I WANTED TO UNDERSTAND WHERE IT
WAS COMING FROM.
APPARENTLY IT WAS LIKE MY FAULT
THAT HE CHEATED.
IT'S HARD TO HAVE SOMEONE SIT
DOWN AND TELL YOU THAT.
SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE ANYONE
DESERVES THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO WATCH.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE WORDS.
>> I KNOW THE RELATIONSHIP WITH
TINO IS OVER.
IS THERE ANY PART OF YOU THAT
STILL LOVES TINO?
>> I MEAN, I HAVE LOVE FOR HIM
BUT NO.
>> ALL RIGHT.
YOU HAVE AN AMAZING FAMILY WHO
LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND YOU HAVE
FRIENDS THAT REALLY CARE ABOUT
YOU.
WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THEM IN OUR
AUDIENCE TONIGHT.
BIG TONY, THANKS SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE.
I WANT TO ASK YOU, AS A FATHER,
HOW HARD IS IT TO SEE YOUR
DAUGHTER GO THROUGH SOMETHING
LIKE THIS?
>> VERY DIFFICULT, VERY
DIFFICULT.
I'M HERE TO SUPPORT HER AND I'M
HERE TO STAND UP FOR EVERYTHING
SHE SAYS AND DOES.
>> I KNOW RACHEL IS VERY, VERY
APPRECIATIVE THAT HER FAMILY AND
HER FRIENDS HAVE COME HERE TO
SUPPORT HER TONIGHT.
WE HAVE SOME BACHELORETTE
LEGENDS WITH US TONIGHT.
I KNOW YOU'VE GOT AN OPINION ON
THIS.
HOW WOULD YOU --
WHAT WOULD YOU TELL RACHEL?
HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE THIS
SITUATION SHE'S HAVING RIGHT
NOW?
>> I AM SO FIRED UP FOR YOU.
YOU OWED HIM NOTHING.
I FEEL LIKE WE JUST SAW EIGHT
DIFFERENT SIDES OF HIM IN THAT
SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
LET ME JUST SAY I'M SO PROUD OF
YOU, HOW YOU'VE NAVIGATED
EVERYTHING.
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE OR A
SEASON, A REASON, OR A LIFETIME.
THIS WAS YOUR SEASON.
AND YOU LEARNED A REASON THAT
HOW YOU DESERVE TO BE TREATED
AND WHAT YOU WILL HAVE FOR A
LIFETIME IS HER FRIENDSHIP WITH
ALL OF US AND GABBY.
WE ARE HERE TO SUPPORT YOU AND
WE LOVE YOU AND WE ARE ALL HERE
FOR YOU NO MATTER WHAT.
[APPLAUSE]
SPEAK OVERLY GREAT ADVICE,
THANK YOU.
HAVE YOU SEEN OR SPOKEN TO TINO?
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM SINCE
THAT CONVERSATION?
>> HE DID SEND ME A LETTER
CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY AND
TELLING ME HE WAS SORRY.
I REALLY DO HOPE I STILL SEE
SOME AT LEAST APOLOGY TONIGHT.
>> TINO IS HERE, HE'S BACKSTAGE.
I KNOW HE'S DYING TO TALK TO
YOU.
YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE READY TO
SEE HIM?
>> YEAH.
>> WHEN WE COME BACK, RACHEL AND
TINO WILL COME FACE-TO-FACE FOR
THE FIRST TIME SINCE RACHEL
BROKE OFF THEIR ENGAGEMENT.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WANT TO GO
AWAY.
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVE
FINALE OF "THE BACHELORETTE."
WE JUST WATCHED AS RACHEL ENDED
HER ENGAGEMENT WITH TINO.
RACHEL, THIS CONVERSATION YOU'RE
ABOUT TO HAVE WITH TINO IS ONE
THAT NOBODY EVER WOULD'VE
ANTICIPATED YOU HAVING HERE AT
"AFTER THE FINAL ROSE," LEAST OF
ALL YOU BUT TINO IS HERE.
HE'S BACKSTAGE AND HE'S READY TO
COME OUT.
ARE YOU READY TO TALK TO HIM?
>> I AM.
>> LET'S BRING HIM OUT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TINO.
>> HOW'S IT GOING, RACHEL?
>> FIRST OF ALL, THINKS FOR
BEING HERE.
I KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT ON YOUR
MIND.
I WILL OPEN IT UP TO YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO RACHEL?
>> RACHEL, I AM SO SORRY.
I DIDN'T WANT WHAT WE JUST
WATCHED BACK AT ALL.
TO COME OFF LIKE I WAS PUTTING
ANY OF THIS ON YOU.
MY ACTIONS ARE ON ME AND I OLD
THEM -- OWNED THEM COMPLETELY.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART I'M
SORRY FOR WHAT I DID.
I'M SORRY TOOK ME SO LONG TO
TELL YOU, AND I'M SORRY FOR THAT
MEET UP CAME OFF LIKE I WAS
TRYING TO PUT ANY RESPONSIBILITY
OF WHAT I DID ON YOU.
>> CAME OFF AS IF FOR YOU
COMPLETE THE PUTTING ON ME?
>> I WAS TRYING TO PROVIDE YOU
THE CONTEXT OF WHAT I DID.
I WAS NOT TRYING TO PUT IT ON
YOU.
WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE LOOKING
FOR IS WHY THIS HAPPENED.
>> WHY?
HOW IS THEORY WHY?
>> WELL, I MEAN, WE FIRST GOT
ENGAGED, IT WAS AMAZING.
WE WERE SO SURE OF EACH OTHER
AND YOU ARE THE BEST PARTNER I
COULD'VE ASKED FOR.
I'M STILL ALWAYS GOING TO
APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT.
THEN WEEKS LEADING INTO THE
EPISODES AIRING IT GOT DISTANT.
IT GOT HARD.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT YOU
WERE GOING THROUGH.
TRULY I CAN'T.
I'VE NEVER DONE YOUR ROLE.
I WISH EVERYONE REALLY GOT TO
SEE, LIKE, THE LOVE STORY THAT
WE LIVED.
I WISH MY MEMORIES COULD PROJECT
ONTO EVERYONE'S SCREEN.
YOU WERE SO, SO SWEET TO ME.
YOU ALWAYS MADE ME SO HAPPY.
AGAIN, I'M ALWAYS GOING TO
APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT.
I AM.
YOU WERE AMAZING.
YOU DIDN'T DESERVE WHAT I DID.
>> SO, YOU KNOW, OUR
CONVERSATIONS DID GET A LITTLE
TOUGH.
I RECOGNIZED YOU WERE GOING
THROUGH A TOUGH TIME AND I WAS
GOING THROUGH A TOUGH TIME TOO.
WHEN WE STARTED LETTING OUR
CONVERSATIONS GET INTO "I CAN'T
LOVE YOU ANYMORE" OR WHEN YOU
SAID --
>> DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO THAT?
DO YOU WANT TO GET INTO THAT?
>> RACHEL, I WANT YOU TO HAVE
THE CLARITY YOU WANT.
>> YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU SAT
HERE TELLING ME YOU DIDN'T WANT
TO PROJECT THIS ON TO ME BUT NOW
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL THE
AUDIENCE.
>> AUDIENCE, THIS IS ON ME.
IT'S NOT ON RACHEL.
>> YOU JUST PROJECTED ONTO ME
AGAIN WITH NO CONTEXT.
MAY BE WE WERE GOING THROUGH A
REALLY HARD TIME THAT'S DEEPLY
PERSONAL TO BOTH OF US.
I THINK WE BOTH DON'T WANT TO
AIR OUT MAY BE WHY THOSE THINGS
WERE HAPPENING.
>> OKAY.
>> DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
>> NO.
PLEASE.
I'M SORRY.
>> THIS IS EXACTLY THE
CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD ON THAT
COUCH.
THERE WERE THINGS THAT THEY CUT
OUT THAT WE BOTH KNOW HAPPENS
THAT WERE PERSONAL THINGS THAT
MAY BE LED TO US BEING IN A BAD
PLACE, RIGHT?
AND THEN YOU SIT ON THIS COUCH
AND BRING THEM UP AGAIN?
>> RACHEL, THE CONTEXT AND THE
TIMELINE OF WHAT HAPPENED WHERE
I MADE MY MISTAKE THAT IS NOT
YOUR FAULT AT ALL.
MY ACTIONS --
NOBODY MADE ME DO ANYTHING.
I AM JUST TRYING TO ENLIGHTEN
YOU ON WHY I WAS IN THE
HEADSPACE THAT I WAS IN WHEN YOU
SAID "I CAN'T WEAR THE RING," I
WAS DEVASTATED.
IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NOT
SURE.
THAT I WAS CUT DOWN.
I LET THAT ALLOW MY EGO AND MY
INSECURITIES TO TAKE OVER MY
ACTIONS, THAT WAS WRONG.
>> I NEVER SAID THAT OUR
ENGAGEMENT WAS OVER.
WE NEVER WERE ON A BREAK,
CORRECT?
>> WE WERE NEVER ON A BREAK.
WE WERE GIVING EACH OTHER SPACE.
>> I'M CONFUSED.
IF OUR ENGAGEMENT WAS OVER,
WOULDN'T MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
NO?
WOULDN'T WE HAVE TO RE-GET
ENGAGED.
AT WHAT POINT DID THAT HAPPEN?
I'M JUST CONFUSED?
>> WHEN I ASKED YOU WHAT...
RACHEL, I DON'T REALLY WANT TO
BRING YOUR FAMILY INTO THIS.
I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT
I WAS FEELING WHEN I HEARD THAT
AND IT MADE ME ACT INSECURE.
THAT'S NOT RIGHT TO YOU.
I'M NOT HERE TRYING TO ALLEVIATE
WHAT I DID.
WHAT I DID WAS WRONG.
YOU DESERVE BETTER.
AND I'M REALLY, REALLY SORRY
THAT WE ARE SITTING HERE.
FROM THE SECOND I MET YOU, I
WANTED YOU.
WHEN I PROPOSE, I WANTED OUR
LIFE TOGETHER TO BE PERFECT.
I COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW HARD IT
WAS GOING TO BE FOR YOU AND
DEALING WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU
HAD TO DEAL WITH.
AND HOW HARD IT WOULD BE FOR ME
TO WATCH THIS BACK.
I DIDN'T TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
PART OF ME REALLY WISHES I TOOK
THERE AT THE END STUFF MORE
SERIOUSLY BEFORE WE HAD OUR HARD
TIMES.
MAYBE WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS
POSITION.
IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO BE MY
THERAPIST.
>> THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT
YOU DID.
YOU BROKE MY HEART.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIKE, YOU
ARE LITERALLY STILL RUNNING IN
CIRCLES.
WE ARE UP HERE AND NOTHING IS
MAKING SENSE TO ME STILL.
>> RACHEL, I...
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU REALLY
HURT.
AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO RELATED TO HOW I FELT WHEN WE
SAID WE WERE GIVING THE RING
BACK.
>> I NEVER SAID THAT.
AND WE BOTH KNOW IT.
>> RACHEL.
YOU SAID ON CAMERA I WASN'T
GOING TO WEAR IT SO WE COULD
DATE.
IT JUST AIRED.
I WATCHED IT.
>> I SAID IF WE BROKE UP, I'M
NOT WEARING IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE JUST SAW ON
CAMERA.
IF WE WENT BACK TO DATING.
>> WHICH IS NOT WHAT YOU WANTED
TO DO THAT WEEK?
>> NO.
I WANTED THIS TO WORK WHICH IS
WHY I PUT IN THE WORK TO MAKE
THIS WORK.
>> YEAH.
>> DID YOU?
>> YES.
FOR WEEKS I FELT LIKE I WAS
TRYING SO HARD AND IT WAS
REALLY --
I'M SORRY.
WHEN WE LANDED.
WE NEED TO GIVE THE RING BACK, I
THOUGHT YOU WERE CHECKING OUT.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GIVING UP.
THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE MY ACTIONS
AT ALL.
>> BEFORE WE WRAP THIS UP,
RACHEL, I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU
THE LAST WORD.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY DID HE
KNOW?
>> I THINK REGARDLESS OF
ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED I THINK
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THE TRUTH OF
WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT YOU DID IS
JUST ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE AND
I JUST, I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE WORDS RIGHT
NOW.
>> THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING
HERE.
I KNOW THIS IS EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT.
TINO, THANKS FOR COMING TONIGHT
AND BEING HONEST.
WE CERTAINLY WISH YOU ALL THE
BEST.
RACHEL, IT TAKES TREMENDOUS AND

FINALE OF "THE BACHELORETTE."
I'M HERE WITH GABBY.
OUR STAR-STUDDED STUDIO
AUDIENCE.
I'M STILL TRYING TO PROCESS
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING HERE
TONIGHT ON THIS LIVE SHOW.
RACHEL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

HAPPY ENDING.
I KNOW AT THIS POINT ALL OF
BACHELOR NATION, THEY'VE GOT
THEIR FINGERS CROSSED.
THEY ARE HOPING FOR THE BEST FOR
YOU AND ERICH.
AND TOES.
ALL TEN.
I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP ANYBODY IN
SUSPENSE ANY LONGER SO WE ARE
GOING TO GO TO MEXICO AND SEE
HOW THIS ENDS.
>> I'M FEELING SO NERVOUS, SO
ANXIOUS.
I'M READY TO BE ENGAGED AT THE
END OF THIS.
I LOVE ERICH MORE THAN I EVER
THOUGHT, LIKE, I COULD REALLY
LOVE ANOTHER PERSON.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, HARD ROAD BUT
HE HAS EVERYTHING THAT I'VE EVER
LOOKED FOR IN SOMEONE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME SO READY
FOR TODAY.
I JUST AM HAPPY THAT IT'S US AND
THEN I GET TO SHARE A LOVE LIKE
HIS AND THAT I GET TO LOVE HIM
BACK.
I THINK HAVING HIM AT THE END
WITH ME NOW IS LIKE EVERYTHING
I'VE EVER DREAMT OF AND
EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I
COULD HAVE.
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GOING TO
LEAVE HERE ENGAGED.
HE OBVIOUSLY HAS THE CHOICE TO
NOT PROPOSE.
LAST NIGHT IN THAT MOMENT, HE
HAD DOUBTS.
IT WAS SCARY TO HEAR.
SCARY AS HELL.
SO, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M
STRUGGLING WITH, BUT I KNOW I
JUST HAVE TO TRUST HIM AND TRUST
OUR RELATIONSHIP.
>> HI, ERICH.
>> HOW ARE YOU, JESSE?
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU.
>> HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
>> OBVIOUSLY ANXIOUS, BUT, UH,
I'M EXCITED.
>> ARE YOU FEELING CONFIDENT
THAT YOU BOTH WANT THE SAME
THING, YOU'RE BOTH ON THE
SAME PAGE AT THIS POINT?

HEART, AND SO I DO WANT A
PROPOSAL FROM HIM.

WANT TO SAY.
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU, MY HEART
SKIPPED A BEAT.
MAYBE A COUPLE.
[LAUGHS]
AND MY STOMACH WAS DANCING, AND
I WAS SO NERVOUS.
AND WITH YOU STANDING HERE RIGHT
IN FRONT OF ME, YOU REMIND ME OF
A LOVE THAT I'VE ONLY EVER KNOWN
IN MY DREAMS.
YOU'VE LOVED ME BEFORE I KNEW
HOW TO LOVE ME.
YOU FOUGHT FOR ME SO HARD AT A
BATTLE THAT NEITHER OF US KNEW
THE OUTCOME OF, AND YOU DO MEAN
THE WORLD TO ME, AND I THINK THE
LAST TIME WE SAW EACH OTHER,
I -- I THINK IT WAS SO REAL.
>> YEAH.
>> AND I KNOW IT BROUGHT UP
A LOT OF EMOTIONS IN ME.
AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE, BUT NOW I KNOW
YOU ARE TOO GOOD, BUT YOU'RE
ALSO TRUE.

LIKE ABOUT YOU THE MOST IS THAT
YOU REALLY BRING OUT THE BEST
IN ME.
EVEN FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS,
LIKE, THE ODDS OF US MEETING
WERE INSANE.
THE STARS LITERALLY HAD TO ALIGN
FOR ME TO BE HERE.
I MEAN, YOU HAVE TO CALL IT
FATE.

THE FIRST TIME.
I WAS REALLY NERVOUS.
AND THEN, WE HAD OUR TWO OR
THREE, LIKE, LITTLE CHATS,
AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT IS THIS?

YOU, I, LIKE, IMMEDIATELY WAS
100% MYSELF.
I'VE NEVER MET ANYBODY THAT I
FELT, LIKE, THAT COMFORTABLE
WITH, THAT, LIKE, DEEP
OF A CONNECTION.

KNEW YOU FOR YEARS.

ERICH, HAVE A SEAT, SO GREAT
SEEING YOU.
I KNOW WE'VE GOT A LOT TO TALK
ABOUT.
FIRST OFF, YOU BOTH LOOK SO
GREAT TOGETHER.
ARE YOU USED TO THIS BY NOW?
I KNOW THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME
THAT YOU GOT TO WATCH BACK YOUR
PROPOSAL.
WHAT SORT OF EMOTIONS AND
FEELINGS CAME TO YOU WHILE
YOU'RE WATCHING THAT?
>> YOU WATCH IT BACK AND YOU
REALIZE HOW MUCH WE THOUGHT FOR
EACH OTHER, HOW MUCH WENT INTO
IT, HOW EMOTIONAL IT WAS.
IT WAS NEVER SUPER EASY,
ESPECIALLY FOR ME.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.
I STRUGGLED THE WHOLE TIME.
WE FINALLY GOT TO THE END.
TO WATCH IT BACK.
I LITERALLY WAS TEARING UP.
WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL MOMENT WE
DID GET THAT HAPPY ENDING.
FOR US, IT WAS SOMETHING WE
WORKED REALLY HARD FOR AND AT
THE END WE FINALLY HAD THAT
MOMENT.
IT WAS REALLY WORTH IT.
>> YOUR -- WERE BOTH STILL
PRESENT IN THAT MOMENT?
WHAT WERE YOU FEELING IN THAT
MOMENT, GABBY?
>> I FORGOT.
NO, THE SAME I THINK.
IT WAS SO EASY TO BE PRESENT.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS
LOOKING INTO SOMEONE I WANT TO
BE WITH.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE IT CAME WITH
ANY SUSPENSE.
ON THE FINAL DATE, WE SAW YOU.
IT LOOKED LIKE YOU HESITATING AS
TO WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE
ACTUALLY GOING TO PROPOSE THAT
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHEN DI YOU MAKE THE DECISION
THAT YOU ARE FINALLY GOING TO
GET DOWN ON THE KNEE?
>> WHEN YOU'RE IN THIS WORLD,
EVERYTHING MOVES VERY QUICKLY.
HER AND I, WE WERE KIND OF
RIDING THE WAVE WE NEVER REALLY
HAVE A DISCUSSION.
I DIDN'T WANTED TO BE MY
DECISION COMPLETELY.
WE ARE GOING TO GET ENGAGED.
WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE THAT TALK.
THEN THE NIGHT BEFORE IT WAS
JUST LIKE, EMOTIONS WERE RUNNING
HIGH.
THERE WAS A DISCONNECT.
I THINK AT THAT POINT IT WAS
LIKE, I WANTED US TO BE ON THE
SAME PAGE.
I WANTED THIS SO BADLY AND I
JUST WANTED A HAPPY ENDING.
SO AT THAT POINT IT WAS
CONFUSION, FOR SURE.
>> GABBY, HOW ABOUT FOR YOU?
HOW SURPRISED WERE YOU?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL
BUT ON THE RIDE OVER, I WAS SO
NERVOUS.
COULDN'T CRACK A SMILE.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO
HAPPEN.
I GAVE MY WHOLE HEART TO HIM.
A LOT OF MISCOMMUNICATION.
WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO REALLY
TALK ABOUT IT.
I KNEW WHAT I WANTED AND I WAS
GIVING MY WHOLE HEART TO
SOMEBODY.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY WERE GOING
TO RECIPROCATE.
>> HE MET YOU THERE AND HE
REALLY STEPPED UP FOR YOU IN
THAT MOMENT.
GABBY'S FAMILY IS HERE WITH US
TONIGHT.
GRANDPA JOHN, YOU ARE ERICH'S
WING MAN ON THE FIRST DATE
TOGETHER WHEN THEY WENT BOWLING.
GABBY, I WANT TO ASK YOUR AUNT
JULIA QUESTION.
WHAT DOES IT LIKE HAVING SUCH A
LEGEND IN THE FAMILY?
>> HARD TO KEEP UP WITH.
>> BY THE WAY, GRANDPA JOHN, I'M
NOT SURE IF YOU ARE ONTO IT OR
IF YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS.
WOMEN LOVE YOU.
I HAVE TO ASK, WOULD YOU EVER
CONSIDER, I DON'T KNOW, BEING
THE BACHELOR?
>> NO, NO.
[APPLAUSE]
NO.
>> WE CAN HAVE A BUNCH OF
BOWLING DATES.
IT WOULD BE GREAT.
GABBY, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
GRANDPA JOHN BACHELOR?
>> DEFINITELY NOT.
>> THANK YOU.

DON'T GO AWAY.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVE
"THE BACHELORETTE" FINALE.
HEREWITH ARE NEWLY ENGAGED
COUPLE, GABBY AND ERICH.
EARLIER TONIGHT WE WATCHED THAT
BEAUTIFUL PROPOSAL IN MEXICO.
WE DO UNDERSTAND THE LAST FEW
MONTHS IT HASN'T ALL GONE
PERFECT FOR THE TWO OF YOU.
THERE ARE SOME DIFFICULT
QUESTIONS.
I'M GOING TO TAKE THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
GABBY, HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
HOW CHALLENGING IT CAN BE TO
SUSTAIN AND GROW A RELATIONSHIP
LIKE THIS IN THE MONTHS AFTER WE
GET DONE FILMING
"THE BACHELORETTE."
WHAT SORT OF CHALLENGES HAVE YOU
AND ERICH BEEN THROUGH?
>> I THINK WE CAN BOTH SPEAK TO
IT.
IT'S HARD BEING IN A BUBBLE, NOT
BEING ABLE TO BE PUBLIC ABOUT
THINGS.
OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS ALL ON
CAMERA.
WE HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT
EACH OTHER AFTERWARDS.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT COMES UP OR
HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH
THINGS PRETTY HOPE IT'S THE
PERSON THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU
MEANT.
THERE'S A LOT OF TRUST IN THAT
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF LEARNING
ALSO.
WE ARE NOT DONE LEARNING ABOUT
EACH OTHER, HOPEFULLY NEVER.
BUT IT IS HARD.
>> SPEAKING ABOUT SOME THINGS
THAT COME UP, ERICH, THERE HAVE
BEEN SOME REVELATIONS RECENTLY
ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHERE AN
EX-GIRLFRIEND OF YOURS A FEW
DAYS UNO CAME OUT AND SAID THAT
YOU ONLY BROKE UP WITH HER TO
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON THE
SHOW.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT.
>> I SAW THAT AS WELL.
ULTIMATELY THE REALITY IS, I
STARTED DATING HER WHEN I WAS
29.
YOU GO ON DATES, YOU TRY TO FIND
YOUR PERSON AND I MET THIS GIRL
ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE THIS ALL
STARTED MY HAD NO IDEA I WAS
GOING TO COME HERE.
ULTIMATELY I REALIZED IT WAS NOT
A CONNECTION LONG-TERM.
IT WAS ABOUT THE SAME TIME THAT
THE SHOW REACHED OUT.
I HANDLED IT POORLY.
I LET HER ON AND I WANT TO OWN
THAT.
NO HARD FEELINGS TOWARDS THIS
GIRL AT ALL.
I UNDERSTAND HER ACTIONS.
I COULD'VE TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT
ON THIS.
I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE A HARD
CONVERSATION.
BUT I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM IT
AND I WANT TO OWN THAT 100% AND
I DO NOT HAVE ANY HARD FEELINGS
FOR THIS GIRL.
IT'S A MISTAKE I MADE ON MY
PART.
>> SHE ALSO RELEASED SOME TEXT
MESSAGE EXCHANGES A FEW DAYS AGO
CLAIMING THAT YOU DIDN'T THINK
THE SHOW WAS REAL.
YOU WEREN'T COMING HERE TO FIND
LOVE.
YOU WERE USING THIS PLATFORM TO
HOPEFULLY GET A CAREER
OPPORTUNITY.
WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE TEXT
MESSAGES HERE.
YOU SAID "I KNOW THIS ISN'T
IDEAL.
I WANTED TO DO THIS TO SEE IF
THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE I COULD
DO WITH MY LIFE.
I REALLY LIKE YOU.
I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE A BIG
DEAL BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU FEEL.
I'M SORRY AND I UNDERSTAND IF
YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ME
ANYMORE.
YOU EXPECT ME TO CONTINUE DATING
YOU WHILE YOU GO ON A REALITY TV
SHOW TO "FIND LOVE."
YOU SAID "IT ISN'T REAL BUT
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M SORRY I REALLY DIDN'T THINK
THIS ALL THE WAY THROUGH."
I WANT TO BE CLEAR THIS WAS ALL
DONE BEFORE YOU CAME ON THE
SHOW, BEFORE YOU MIGHT GABBY.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S DIFFICULT TO
TALK ABOUT IN FRONT OF HER AND A
LIVE STUDIO AUDIENCE BUT I WANT
TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPLAIN YOURSELF.
>> I DO APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO
THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
BE ADDRESSED.
I WAS TAKING THE COWARDLY WAY
OUT.
I LED THIS GIRL ON AND I WAS
USING THE SHOW AS AN EXCUSE TO
NOT CONFRONT HER ABOUT OUR
RELATIONSHIP.
I DIDN'T SEE A FUTURE BUT WE
WERE HAVING FUN.
IT'S EASY ESPECIALLY THAN TO
JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE FUN AND
MAKE THE HARD DECISION TO SAY I
THINK IT'S LONG -TERM BUT I THINK
IT'S A TESTAMENT.
THE LAST PERSON TO BE EXPECTED
TO BE ON THE SHOW.
YOU CAN ASK MY FRIENDS AND
FAMILY.
I CAME INTO THIS BEING LIKE,
MAKE IT PAST NIGHT WANTED SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.
HONESTLY I'VE WATCHED ONE
EPISODE.
I NEVER HAD SEEN THE SHOW
BEFORE.
I WATCHED ONE EPISODE.
WE'LL FIGURE OUT WHEN WE GET
HERE.
I MET GABBY ON THE FIRST NIGHT.
TO ME EVERYTHING CHANGED.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE SHOW.
I DON'T CARE THAT THERE'S OTHER
GUYS HERE.
I WANT TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH
THIS PERSON AND SEE WHERE IT
GOES.
IT WAS KIND OF A CRAZY THING TO
WATCH THIS PROGRESS.
TO ACTUALLY FALLING IN LOVE AND
THE FEELINGS AND THEN TO SEE
THIS PROCESS CONTINUE OUT.
ULTIMATELY END UP WITH THE
HAPPIEST ENDING POSSIBLE.
IT WAS CRAZY.
I WOULDN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
IF I COULD DO IT A MILLION TIMES
OVER, I WOULD.
THE ONLY THING THAT I WHAT I AM
SORRY FOR IS THE BEGINNING OF
IT.
I DO WANT TO OWN THAT.
I LOVE THIS GIRL WITH ALL MY
HEART.
100% REAL.
I NEVER EXPECTED IT.
I WANT THIS TO BE FOREVER.
[APPLAUSE]
SPEAKER LOOK, GABBY.
I KNOW THAT THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS
MADE THINGS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFICULT FOR YOU NO DOUBT.
WHAT TOLL HAS THIS TAKE ON YOUR
RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER?
>> IT'S HARD.
ERICH TOLD ME ABOUT THE TEXT
MESSAGES WAY BEFORE THEY WERE
LEAKED, JUST TRYING TO BE
HONEST.
I THINK DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR
RELATIONSHIP.
SO HE WASN'T JUST THINKING ABOUT
HIMSELF OR HOPING HE COULD SKATE
BY.
HE WAS THINKING ABOUT ME AND
WE'VE HAD THESE CONVERSATIONS
TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
SO IT'S HARD.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU PLAN FOR.
YOU LEAVE THIS BUBBLE OF FILMING
OF THE SHOW ENGAGED WITH THE
LOVE OF YOUR LIFE AND THEN REAL
LIFE HATES YOU.
YOU HAVE TO WEIGH EVERYTHING.
YOU KNOW, I THINK ALONG THE WAY
IT HAS BEEN HARD BUT OUR
COMMUNICATION HAS JUST GOTTEN
BETTER.
AND HE'S GRACIOUS AND HE'S
HONEST.
I DO BELIEVE WHAT HE SAYS.
NOT SAYING THAT YOU WERE RIGHT
IN YOUR ACTIONS.
WE KNOW AND I HAVE SAID THAT HIM
BEFORE.
HIS HONESTY AND WILLING TO TAKE
A HOT ABILITY.
THAT'S ALL I CAN REALLY ASK FOR
AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WANT
IN A PARTNER.
SO IT'S BEEN HARD, BUT WHEN YOU
SAY YES TO SPENDING THE REST OF
YOUR LIFE WITH SOMEONE, IT'S NOT
GOING TO BE EASY ESPECIALLY IN
THE PUBLIC EYE.
WE ARE TRYING THE BEST WE CAN TO
MAKE IT WORK.
>> I WANT TO BE CLEAR.
YOU'RE FORGIVING THIS GUY.
>> I GUESS.
>> FORGIVING TAKES TIME.
>> GUYS, IT'S SO GREAT TO SEE
YOU HERE TOGETHER AND TO SEE HOW
HAPPY YOU ARE.
HERE'S THE THING.
LIFE HAS CHALLENGES.
RELATIONSHIPS ARE TOUGH.
IT TAKES WORK.
CERTAINLY EVERYBODY HERE IS
HOPING THAT YOU KEEP PUTTING
ORGAN TO BE TOGETHER BECAUSE
THIS HAS A CHANCE TO BE SUCH A
BEAUTIFUL THING.
ERICH, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
TONIGHT, BEING HONEST AND HAVING
THESE CONVERSATIONS.
LET'S HEAR IT FOR ERICH,
EVERYBODY.
THANK YOU.
WE ARE NOT DONE YET.
THERE IS STILL SO MUCH MORE TO
COME.
OUR NEW BACHELOR IS HERE.
AND OF COURSE I TOLD YOU BEFORE
AND I'M GOING TO TELL YOU AGAIN.
YOU CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF
BACHELOR HISTORY WITH ONE SINGLE
TWEET.
KEEP THOSE CELL PHONES HANDY.
GOT DETAILS TO COME.
STICK AROUND.
>> GIVE THE FRIEND THE PUSH THEY
NEED.
NOMINATE THEM TO DATE THE NEXT
BACHELOR OR BACHELORETTE AT
ABC.com/Casting.
WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVE
BACHELORETTE FINALE.
I AM BACK WITH GABBY.
RACHEL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
TODAY BUT SHE HAS RUN AWAY WITH
AVEN.
WE ACTUALLY MIGHT NEVER SEE HER
AGAIN.
BIG TONY IS OVER THERE, NOT ON
MY WATCH.
GABBY, HOW ARE YOU FEELING AT
THIS POINT?
>> GOSH, SO MANY EMOTIONS.
I AM SO PROUD OF RACHEL.
AND I'M SO FOR HER.
EVERYONE DESERVES THEIR HAPPY
ENDING BUT ESPECIALLY HER WITH
EVERYTHING THAT SHE'S BEEN
THROUGH.
LIKE, I AM GLOWING.
>> YOU ARE.
WHAT ABOUT FOR YOU?
COULD YOU EVER HAVE IMAGINED
THINGS TURNING OUT THIS WAY?
>> NO.
I HATE MEN.
>> I CAN TELL.
>> YEAH.
I DON'T KNOW.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HIM.
IT'S SO ANNOYING.
>> IT'S THE MULLET.
>> YEAH.
I LIKE TO FEEL IT.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LOOK
BACK ON THIS WHOLE THING?
HOW HAS THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE
BEEN BEING THE BACHELOR CHANGED
YOU?
>> IT'S CHANGED EVERYTHING.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S HELP ME BECOME
MORE VULNERABLE, OPEN TO LOVE, I
WAS SO GUARDED.
IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO WARM UP.
ERICH WAS SO ASSERTIVE AND SET
ON ME FROM EARLY ON EXCEPT FOR
THE PART THAT HE WANTED THE
FIRST IMPRESSION ROSE FROM BOTH
OF US.
BESIDES THAT.
JUST FEEL INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO
HAVE HIM BY MY SIDE.
WHEN HE IS NEXT TO ME, I FEEL
LIKE I CAN CONQUER ANYTHING.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY
BEEN ABLE TO GET OVER A FEW
SPEED BUMPS THAT YOU'VE HAD
EARLY ON IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
WHAT IS NEXT FOR BOTH OF YOU?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK WE ARE JUST EXCITED TO
LIVE LIFE AND START LIFE
TOGETHER.
NOT SEPARATE.
BEFORE YOU COME ON THIS JOURNEY,
YOU ARE INTO PARALLEL LIVES
TRYING TO COMBINE IT.
BUT NOW WE ARE WITH EACH OTHER
AND I WANT TO BUILD A LIFE WHERE
WE CAN HAVE SHARED EXPERIENCES
THAT IT'S NOT ONE OR THE OTHER
BUT IT'S BOTH OF US.
>> I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO
SAY MORE BOWLING WITH GRANDPA
JOHN.
>> DEFINITELY NOT.
HE IS TOO GOOD.
>>> IT'S VERY, VERY EXCITING TIE
FOR YOU BECAUSE OF COURSE RIGHT
NOW YOU ARE ON "DANCING WITH THE
STARS."
AND YOU'RE DOING SO AMAZING.
HE WATCHED YOU LAST NIGHT, YOU
KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK.
RACHEL HAS BEEN A MASSIVE
ADVOCATE FOR YOU.
SHE SAID YOU WERE GOING TO BE
AMAZING.
HOW IS THAT EXPERIENCE BEEN?
>> HAVING RACHEL THERE LAST
NIGHT FOR THE PREMIERE, ALL THE
GROUNDING THAT I NEEDED.
WE MADE EYE CONTACT.
OKAY, THIS IS REAL LIFE.
I CAN DO THIS.
AS THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN
AMAZING.
I'M SO GRATEFUL.
I HAVE A GREAT PARTNER.
JENNA IS IN THE AUDIENCE.
VAL'S WIFE.
THE SUPPORT IS BEEN AMAZING AND
I GET TO CHALLENGE MYSELF AND
GROW EVERY DAY.
ERIC HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT
SUPPORTIVE.
HE SO EXCITED TO SEE ME DANCE IN
REAL LIFE WHICH I HOPE GOES
WELL.
>> YOUR NATURAL.
I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD AGREE
SHE'S GOING TO KNOCK IT OUT OF
THE PARK.
THERE ARE SOME WOMEN HERE
TONIGHT THAT NOAH THING OR TWO
ABOUT BEING THE BACHELORETTE.
MICHELLE YOUNG, BECCA, KAITLYN
BRISTOWE.
I WANT TO ASK, YOU'VE LIVED IN
GABBY'S SHOES.
YOU HAD TO FACE SOME OF THE SAME
CHALLENGES, EXPERIENCING THE
SAME THINGS.
BECCA, KIND OF WISDOM?
>> DON'T START WITH ME.
>> I WOULD SAY.
I'VE BEEN IN A VERY SIMILAR
POSITION AS YOU.

TIME.
YOUR WORLD IS OPEN TO SO MANY
NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND PEOPLE AND
EXPERIENCES BUT ULTIMATELY YOU

MAKE SURE YOU'RE HAVING THE
RIGHT CONVERSATIONS.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON THE SAME
PAGE ABOUT HOW YOU WANT TO LIVE
YOUR LIFE, HOW YOU WANT TO
ULTIMATELY RAISE KIDS IF THAT'S
IN YOUR FUTURE.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SAME
VALUES AND MORALS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THANK YOU
>> WE LOVE YOU AND WE SUPPORT
YOU FOR EVERYTHING.
>> MICHELLE?
>> GABBY AND I HAVE TALKED A
LOT.
SAME WITH RACHEL.
IT IS SUCH A DIFFERENT WORLD.
YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU
EXPECT TO OR WHAT YOU WANT FROM
