Aven, a fan favorite whose relationship with Rachel ended in last Tuesday's Bachelorette episode, strides up to the stage. "Today will be the first time that I speak to Tino since he told me that he cheated on me," Rachel says. Palmer says it's the first time they've been face to face since Rachel broke off her engagement. The conversation is long, heated and a bit confusing, but Rachel makes it clear that "yes, we were going through a hard time, but never once did we ever say we are broken up, we are not engaged." "I can tell this wasn't the end of what went on," he offers. Specifically, the explosive end to Rachel's Bachelorette saga, up first in the finale.

always 🤍" We're excited to see what life holds." "Even though it's hard now, everything is going to lead me to the person I'm meant to be with."

“I really care about you, and I really care about us. “I want to be with Rachel at the end of this. I want the engagement aspect of it to be perfect,” he explained at the time. Rachel said she found his statements “shocking” and was turned off by his doubts. “I am just grateful I was able to be a part of your life. You broke my heart,” Rachel said, denying that they were “on a break” from their engagement. Your willingness to open your heart up to me and give me a chance. “We went outside to talk without the microphones on … I wish everyone really got to see, like, the love story that we lived.” I was just wondering if you wanted to maybe get out of here and just catch up?” he asked. “From the bottom of my heart I’m sorry for what I did,” Tino told the pilot during After the Final Rose. During their argument, Tino said he thought they were on a break due to some awkwardness in their relationship.
Heading into the season-ender, dual Bachelorettes Rachel Recchia and Gabby Windey each had only one suitor standing—Tino Franco and Erich Schwer, respectively.
Armed with a notebook and looking like he crammed for a big test the night before, Franco arrives in the pre-taped portion to talk things out with Recchia. While living apart and keeping their engagement a secret had caused turmoil, Recchia dropped the real bomb just before the commercial break: “He cheated on me.” “And maybe Erich can explain away those damning text messages he sent to his girlfriend just a few days before stepping out of the limo on night one.”

It’s bullshit of the show to do, it’s bullshit of Aven to agree to it, and I think if Rachel could take back her reaction and happiness about it all on stage, she would. Rachel was in a bubble last night so she couldn’t have possibly known ahead of time, but hopefully in the next 24-48 hrs talking to friends and family that word will get around Aven was put up to that by production, he agreed to it, and there’s really nothing that’s going to come of any of that. And I say this because look, if I knew this was coming, don’t you think I’m aware there’s more to this? 30 minutes before the finale aired, I’d tweeted out that Aven was coming to the ATFR and he was going to ask Rachel out. I didn’t have as much of an issue with what he was saying about his cheating as Rachel did, BUT, that’s not to say he was in the right at all. It’s like Rachel wanted to know how Tino got to that point, and when he was trying to give her an answer, she said he was making excuses. To me, you can disagree with how Tino approached the argument last night, and be down on Tino for cheating, but I’m sorry, he didn’t deserve to be ambushed up there on stage like that. Maybe you agree with Rachel or maybe you agree with Tino, but that’s Rachel’s decision to make and she made it. So how is the audience supposed to say with 100% certainty, “Oh, Tino was wrong.” Or “Rachel was wrong.” We don’t even know the details! For example, Tino brings a journal to this meeting because he had written down, I assume, some thoughts and some things that Rachel had said in their relationship and how it made him feel. I thought things that Tino said and did were confusing, weird, and wrong and I thought certain things Rachel said and did I don’t understand or disagree with as well. I felt I hit on most things I wanted to talk about and I’ll do my best to convey that in written form here today.
