The former Bachelorette self-eliminated during the latest rose ceremony.
The third time wasnt the charm for Rachel Recchia onBachelor in Paradise.
Her promising start in Paradise at first suggested a happier ending couldve been in the cards.
What Went Wrong
Jordan wasnt quite on the same page, though.
I do feel a connection with Rachel, he said.
We had a great date, and it was great to go out with her and have fun.
However, he wanted to explore things with Mercedes Northup, whod justbroken up with Tyler Norris.
Holding the final rose, Rachel decided she needed a second and walked away.
Host Jesse Palmer followed her.
I think I might need to go, she told him.
And its gonna be so hard, but I think I know that this is that moment.
Its just been the most amazing experience, and Im just happy.
But its sad because its ending.
Now, looking back, I absolutely shouldve been like, Are we friends and what do you think?
Rachel told co-hosts Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt.
It was a very weird week.
(Tanner eventually accepted Jess Girods rose, following her andBlake Moynes split.)
