Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia, who first appeared on Clayton Echard's season of "The Bachelor," began their journey as the first Bachelorettes to co-star in a full season on Monday by meeting their 32 potential suitors.
When viewers last saw them, Gabby, a 31-year-old ICU nurse from Denver and Rachel, a 26-year-old a flight instructor from Clermont, Florida, were devastated after Clayton simultaneously broke up with both of them, following his admission that his heart belonged to Susie Evans. On Monday, however, Gabby and Rachel were ready to move on -- even if that meant breaking all the rules on night one.

There simply wasn't enough time for the women to talk to every guy in the allotted time.
Two men -- Tino, a 28-year-old general contractor from Playa Del Rey, California, and Mario, a 31-year-old personal trainer from Naperville, Illinois -- were lucky enough to snag Rachel and Gabby's respective first impression roses.
As for the others, the two Bachelorettes decided to bend the rules, first, by eliminating three of the men with whom they did get to speak, but didn't feel a connection. They were Roby, the 33-year-old magician from Los Angeles; and Justin and Joey, the twins from Brookfield, Connecticut.
The remaining men were informed that, in the interest of giving all them a fair shot, Gabby and Rachel had canceled the first rose ceremony, meaning all of them would be moving forward.
