I don't think Gabby was being overly sensitive. The men certainly were upfront about their intentions (which is awesome!) but it could have been done in a way that didn't tear Gabby down in the process. A simple statement such as "I feel more connected to Rachel" could have been more than enough. Even the toughest rock will start to break down when getting punched at repeatedly. Hang in there Gabby!! Your soulmate will come along

Tyler was respectful and appropriately handled that situation. The other men were just completely tactless. Gabby is the full package. She's educated, secure, confident, genuine, funny, beautiful, calls people out on their bs, expects accountability, and has a deepness to her personality that shines through and the men who treated her like crap, in my opinion, probably wanted to "assert their dominance" and try to knock her down. Of course she got emotional because in a romantic setting like that, if a man (or woman) is picking at who you are it's going to make you feel like crap. Keep being you Gabby.

So basically the producers asked the men who they were leaning towards and they put all the men for Rachel on this date.

I just wanted to give Gabby a hug as she was tearing up...She's such a gem.

[JussiPure]

Only Tyler was respectful. The other 2 wanted to tear down gabby :/ Really disappointed that Rachel kept Hayden after this.

[funchik]

What's his name, Hayden? Why do you need to give that elaborate explanation talking about morals etc? Just tell her you're more into Rachel and move on dude.

To me gabby is the better friend 🤷‍♀️. Not only did she listen to rachel when she was upset, which admittedly rachel listened to her too, but she didnt pick any of the 3 men that's rejected rachel. She chose the only guy left that didn't reject rachel as her final rose. Rachel on the other hand, went to talk to gabby about being rejected and humiliated, gabby empathized with her and said yeah she knows what she means. Thats how she felt last night too and rachel just kind of dismissed her and said "yeah but that was private. This was public" and when gabby tried to explain herself, rachel just kinda talked over her 😬😬😬

At least the guys were upfront but the use of “rough around the edges” wasn’t a nice choice of words. I’m a Gabby fan and hope she’ll find her Prince Charming soon whether or not it’s here.

[nelliek]

Gabby you're an absolute gem! Don't let anyone make you doubt that ever!! Keep shining girl!

[l.mendes]

Wooow no way, this show has become nothing but emotionally abusive! How dare you play with contestants in such a way trying to make her feel less than the other obvious typical blond and showing that as opposite of eachother!?
Funny how you will only do this to a female contestant.
What is different about Gaby? There is nothing wrong with her and she is not rough around the edges at all!
Being your beautiful authentic self is considered rough nowadays?
She is graceful, stunning, kind, loving and special!
Even if this did occur in the background you could have chosen to simply show the Tyler part that was more respectful instead of trying to break her selfesteem down with the scenes. The fact that she is standing there trying to convince herself that she is rough around the edges based on nonsense is sad!This is beyond now I know why this show would always allow bullying to go on in between contestants on the show, that further developed into online bullying because obviously your staff behind the show is TOXIC!

When Gabby says she WANTS to be rough around the edges because she knows who she is and she’s proud of it, literally, was so beautiful.

At the end of the day who cares what people call you or who you are to them. As long as you stay true to yourself that’s all that matters and Gabby showed that tonight!

Love her and Rachel.

I really feel for Gabby. She’s very nuanced and is an absolute reflection of who I was a month ago before receiving treatment. This experience will not make things any easier for her mental health. I cried watching this episode last night because she is such a worthy person and the way she was putting herself down was painful to watch. I think she already had her own insecurities prior to the show and I think this experience has only augmented them.

She isn’t too broken. She’s just beautifully human and I love her even more for it. God bless her and her family. She’s a lot stronger than I ever was and the way she dealt with those rejections just shows how resilient she is.

[tooblessedtobestressed]

If not settling for bs means you're rough around the edges hey. Sometimes you have to be rough around the edges because a lot of men will take your kindness for weakness if you let them. Stand your ground Gabby and keep being your awesome self. You deserve all the best girl and nothing less 👍🏽👍🏽

[shannonpoulin]

I felt so bad for Gabby. While on the one hand I’m glad the guys were honest in their choice but Tyler is the only one that said it with respect and class. There’s a way to get your point across without belittling someone . I wish Gabby had given her rose on that group date to Nate since he’s been constantly into her and they had that great date. But I also see that in that moment she was so hurt and fed up and wanted to make a point to the guys that she was upset.

[jillianantunez]

Tyler was respectful while the other guys were just completely rude about it. I really hope gabby doesn’t settle or change who she is for these boys

[fluffytail]

The guy who said Gabby was “rough around the edges.” 🤣🤣🤣 I would have laughed in his face. Like, “look who’s talking?” Byeeee

[elisabethmercado]

My heart goes out to Gabby. She was so overwhelmed. How she handled the rejection in front the men too… but I hated the part when Rachel felt the same rejection said her situation was worse.. as gabby didn’t understand how she felt. When Gabby was about to say it doesn’t matter if it was private, they cut it out. Skipped their conversation… they should’ve never put two grown, smart, beautiful women in those situations to begin with.

[assyrianprincess]

Pro tip. When your rejecting someone, BE VAUGE! Just say “your not feeling it” and thats it! If the person does not ask why, do not tell them why. Hayden and Jacob were not respectful at all.

[owlikat]

The underlying crisis here is people don't understand that "rough around the edges" is a really polite way of saying you're human with love.

[FaryalZubair]

Why did he say gabby is rough around the edges....🧐
