The upcoming season of “The Bachelorette” will be one for the ages!
Sure, those of us who are strongly invested members of Bachelor Nation have grown accustomed to expect big changes or massive amounts of drama at the beginning of each new season of both “The Bachelorette” and “The Bachelor“, but the upcoming 19th season of “The Bachelorette” is sure to give Bachelor Nation a shock or two!
The hit show will explore unprecedented territory: There will be TWO ‘Bachelorettes’ for the entire season, and right now it looks as if the lucky ladies will be dating and picking their prince from the same batch of men.
The exact way that the process will unfold has not been confirmed as of yet!
Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey were both picked to share the title of ‘Bachelorette’ after both were rejected by the latest ‘Bachelor’ Clayton Echard, in a highly-publicized two part season finale.
The besties, whose support of one another throughout what Bachelor Nation had dubbed “The rose ceremony from hell” delighted the internet, will choose from a group of 35 men vying for their hearts!

Nights spent figuring out who could be future husband material for Recchia and Windey are getting closer!
The list of potential picks was released yesterday, according to Us Weekly.
As if Bachelor Nation couldn’t make any more jokes about seeing double because of two ‘Bachelorettes,’ there will indeed be a pair of twins soon to enter the Bachelor mansion.
Despite the fact we’re now able to take a peek at the men, we still don’t know everything about this new group of hotties who will potentially be receiving roses.
We’re able to see the key details about the men but the list does not explore their careers.
The ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ crew have a habit of setting up hilarious captions to introduce the men, so perhaps the omission was intentional. Time will tell!

Here’s another interesting tidbit: We may not see a chunk of these men by the time the season premieres on July 11th!
The men who are included on the list aren’t necessarily locked in just yet. According to E!, “ABC will release the official roster of suitors after they’ve properly vetted the men.”
Friends First, Men Second!

Another key element for the upcoming season that may contribute to its success rate? There won’t be any thorns between our two ‘Bachelorette’ beauties!
Pardon the cringe rose pun, but those in charge at Bachelor Nation are making an effort not to put Recchia and Windey in any situations where their friendship could be compromised.
The man with a plan, Mike Fleiss, is adamant about preserving the women’s friendship.
Fleiss was tight-lipped on the exact details, but he assured questioning fans on social media there will be no wedge driven between Recchia and Windey.
According to Deadline, Fleiss responded “Not true! You’ll see” to a fan who tweeted “I love Gabby and Rachel but there’s no way this doesn’t pit these two against each other. Every guy is gonna be asked the same question, ‘who do you like more!'”
Regardless of what happens with Recchia and Windey’s love lives on this landmark journey, Bachelor Nation is committed to giving lots of roses to friendship!
