Why are there two leads this season?

Both ladies will be dating the same group of men at the same time on the show.

Gabby, 31, and Rachel, 26, were both spotted during Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor.

The two women made it to the last three contestants, who were fighting to win Clayton’s heart.

During Clayton’s season, he finally settled on Susie Evans and both Gabby and Rachel stayed in the dust.

Now both Gabby and Rachel are the bachelorette for the shows’ 19th season.

They will be seen dating the same group of 32 suitors on the show.

This isn’t the first time they’ve dated the same guys as they did on The Bachelor with Clayton.

What did the women say about the joint show?

With two bachelors this season, there’s sure to be twice as much trouble and drama.

Before the premiere, Gabby spoke about the unique situation in the trailer.

“Having two Bachelorettes led to a fight and it’s all coming to a head,” Windey said in the trailer.

“I’m sure there will be some overlap early on,” Windey added.

“Dating the same guys is definitely going to be a challenge. With two of us, we just have to figure it out,” Recchia said.

Gabby hopes to find her dream man and call him her husband, she said in the trailer.

“Hopefully I’ll meet my man and hopefully it’s not the same one that Rachel wants,” Gabby said.
