Summary
In this week’s episode, Tay is joined by Rachel Recchia for an honest conversation about her journey in and beyond Bachelor Nation! Rachel reflects on her time on The Bachelor and what it was like to make franchise history as a co-lead on The Bachelorette, including the challenges and pressures of sharing the spotlight with Gabby Windey and whether she feels she’s found closure from her time in the franchise. She opens up about her experiences on Bachelor in Paradise and Perfect Match (including what it was like to briefly reunite with ex-boyfriend Clayton Echard) and how she’s managed the anxiety that comes with life on reality TV. Rachel also shares what it’s been like pursuing her career as a pilot in a male-dominated industry, why she chose to undergo breast reduction surgery in 2023, and how she overcame a serious kidney infection that left her hospitalized earlier this year. To wrap things up, she joins Tay for a fun round of Sweet and Sour!
