Rachel & Gabby give the men an ultimatum: propose or we’re done

Spoiler Warning: Do not read ahead, if you have not watched “The Bachelorette†Season 19 finale, part one, which aired on Sept. 13 on ABC

The ride to “The Bachelorette’s ” grand finale began with a dramatic episode that required ABC to unexpectedly extend the two-hour runtime. The first segment of the live finale aired on Tuesday night.

Leading ladies Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey have each reduced the number of men interested in them to just one. Will either woman get engaged before the big finale next week?

At the conclusion of the reality show, both women encountered men who claimed to love them but weren’t quite ready to propose. The contestants, who want to spend the rest of their lives with Recchia and Windey, respectively, claim they prefer a real-world relationship timeline to tie the knot on TV  after just a handful of weeks.

Unfortunately, it appears both women are giving the men an ultimatum: propose or we’re done.

In a live sit-down with the two leads, host Jesse Palmer began the first segment of the Season 19 finale. The broadcast mixed studio interviews with scenes from Mexico with the ladies’ final surviving guys. (Rachel had Tino, Aven, and Zach as her first three suitors as the programme began, while Gabby only had Erich.)
