Warning: Major Spoilers For The Bachelorette Season 19 Men Tell All & Finale Ahead
One of the most anticipated episodes of any season of The Bachelorette is the Men Tell All, during which most of the contestants and the lead reunite, and spoilers have now leaked about what happened when the episode was filmed. The Men Tell All episodes are known for being emotional, dramatic, and sometimes explosive, as the lead and the contestants confront each other after watching back the episodes. There are usually surprises as well, and Bachelorettes Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s Men Tell All is no different.
The Bachelorette season 19 was unprecedented because it was the first time that two Bachelorettes searched for love together. Of course, this led to a lot of drama, including the emergence of the villains of the season. So far, Chris Austin was asked to leave the show by the women after he made some controversial statements about the fantasy suites. Rachel also told Hayden Markowitz to leave after he made offensive comments about both her and Gabby. Jacob Rapini has been heavily criticized for telling Gabby that if she were the only Bachelorette, he would leave the show. Although Logan Palmer is not considered one of the season’s bad guys, he did decide to switch from Rachel’s group of men to Gabby’s, which raised some eyebrows in Bachelor Nation.
Of course, there have been many incredibly romantic moments on The Bachelorette season 19 as well. On the first night, Rachel gave her first impression rose to Tino Franco, who has emerged as one of her frontrunners. In addition to Tino, Rachel has had strong connections with her remaining men including Aven Jones, Zach Shallcross, Tyler Norris, and Ethan Kang. Although Gabby has since eliminated her first impression rose recipient Mario Vassall, she has begun falling for the other man she kissed on the first night, Erich Schwer. She has also been building strong relationships with Johnny DePhillipo, Jason Alabaster, Spencer Swies, and Nate Mitchell, who has recently been the subject of some controversy. She also gave a rose to Logan after accepting him into her group. As fans wonder what will happen next and who Rachel and Gabby will ultimately choose, Bachelor Nation blogger Reality Steve has all of the spoilers from the Men Tell All episode which taped on Thursday, August 11.
The Bachelorette Season 19 Men Who Attended
Several Bachelorette season 19 suitors appeared on the “Men Tell All” episode. Nate, Tyler, Logan, Mario, Spencer, Ethan, Jacob were there. In addition to them, Roby Sobieski, Termayne Harper, Alec Garza, Quincy Williams, James “Meatball” Clarke, Jordan Helman, and Jordan Vandergriff appeared on the episode. Tino and Erich were not there because they got engaged to Rachel and Gabby respectively, and having them there would spoil the finale. In addition, Aven, Zach, Jason, and Johnny did not appear because they made it to the finale as well, but did not receive Rachel and Gabby’s final roses. The three men who were sat in the hot seat with host Jesse Palmer were Logan, Tyler, and Nate.
The Biggest Bachelorette Villains Did Not Show Up
Two of the men who caused the most drama for Rachel and Gabby, Chris and Hayden, did not attend the Men Tell All episode. Reality Steve did not know why they were not there. Perhaps they were not ready to face the backlash. It is also possible that Hayden did not want to leave his beloved dog, Rambo, who has a brain tumor.
The Nate Mitchell Controversy Was Addressed
Recently, much to the disappointment of viewers, Bachelorette fan favorite Nate’s good guy reputation was brought into question when Reality Steve broke the news that two women had come forward to say that Nate had dated them both at the same time without their knowledge. One of the women also accused Nate of keeping his daughter a secret from her for a year and a half, and that she only found out that he had a child when she watched The Bachelorette.
On the Men Tell All episode, Nate was asked about the accusations, and he got emotional on stage. He said that his divorce was very messy, and his goal was always to protect his daughter whenever he was in a relationship. He said that he could have been better at communicating with the women, but he was still getting used to the dating scene again. He added that he wanted to do better and apologized for his actions. Reality Steve revealed that when Gabby and Rachel took the stage, Gabby defended Nate. She said that she can only react to him based on how he treated her, which was always with nothing but respect. All of the men also defended him, saying that everyone has a past, and whatever happened before was not the man that they know him to be today. Reality Steve added that Nate was eliminated by Gabby in Amsterdam on a one-on-one date because she is afraid that she is not ready to be a mom, and he already has a child. Despite everything, Nate was well-received by the audience.
Logan Palmer Left The Bachelorette For A Surprising Reason
After a tumultuous few weeks, Logan finally seemed to be settling into Gabby’s Bachelorette group. However, he left the show shortly after, not because of his decision to switch from Rachel to Gabby, but because he contracted COVID-19 during filming. He was eliminated in Amsterdam because of this.
Tyler Norris Was Eliminated During His Hometown Date
Tyler brought Rachel to his hometown in Wildwood, New Jersey, but things took a turn after the daytime portion of the date. Rachel had a hometown date with Aven two days earlier, and she felt such a strong connection with him that she realized that she did not feel the same way about Tyler. Ultimately, Rachel decided not to meet his parents. However, the show did film Tyler going home to visit with them without Rachel. At the Men Tell All, Tyler told Bachelorette Rachel that he appreciated that she was honest in that moment. Tyler was reportedly well-liked by the audience.
Roby Sobieski Caused The Only Drama
Roby was the only man who rubbed the rest of The Bachelorette men the wrong way, because he was very vocal during the Men Tell All episode. He called out some of the men for how they acted on group dates. The other guys were upset with him because he was only on the show for the first night, and felt that he did not have the right to say anything.
Bachelor In Paradise Promotion
The Bachelorette Men Tell All episode promoted the upcoming season of Bachelor In Paradise, set to air this fall. Bachelor in Paradise season 8 contestants Victoria Fuller, Genevieve Parisi, Serene Russell, and Andrew Spencer took the stage briefly to talk about the season. Bachelor in Paradise season 8 premieres on Tuesday, September 27 on ABC.
Funny Moments On The Bachelorette “Men Tell All” Episode
Actors Billy Eichner and Luke MacFarlane appeared to promote their upcoming movie “Bros.” Meatball took off his shirt and Billy poured sauce on him, recreating Meatball’s “talent” at the Speedo pageant earlier in the season. The audience members were given meatball sandwiches to hold. They also had someone there dressed as the action movie character Rambo, which perhaps was a reference to Bachelorette contestant Hayden’s dog. In a “Dos and Don’ts of Dating” montage, The Bachelorette aired clips of Quincey announcing his celibacy immediately when he met the women, Mario kissing Gabby after getting his first impression rose, and the Speedo pageant.
The Bachelorette Finale Sneak Peek
Reality Steve shared that the previews for the rest of the season included a clip of Jesse telling Rachel that she was the only one there. The clip appears to be from the final rose ceremony day, and insinuated that Gabby had left. He said that the clip made it seems as though Gabby left alone, but that is not what he heard, and he believes that she is currently engaged to Erich.
The Men Tell All episode is always an exciting and revealing night. Reality Steve’s spoilers certainly seem as though The Bachelorette season 19 will live up to fans’ expectations for a dramatic episode. It appears that this Men Tell All episode will be the icing on the cake of a season full of twists and turns.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
