Others were simply enraged at Echard’s dismissal of his two finalists: Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia.
And unlike previous installments, Echard’s season didn’t have that big heartfelt, romantic moment.
Naturally, Windey’s grandfather was also in the audience of the final episode to support his granddaughter.

“Gabby’s grandpa and Rachel’s dad in the corner of the screen!
I’M SCREAMING,” one fantweeted.
And, as Bachelor Nation posted toTwitter: “THIS.

This is the love story we needed.”
