Bachelorette’s Rachel Recchia & Gabby Windey’s season is already ‘chaotic and unorganized’ as filming begins this week

The BACHELORETTE is set to begin filming this week and it's already "chaotic and unorganized."

Season 19 will premiere on July 11th and will feature Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia as the show’s first joint leads - though it's reportedly off to a rough start.

Production for The Bachelorette starts tomorrow at the Bachelor Mansion in LA.

That being said, a source has told The Sun that the very first double-trouble season is itself troubled.

“It’s been chaos behind the scenes," the source told us.

"Execs went with the two Bachelorette leads as an impulse decision because of how strong the reaction was to both women [on Season 26] and their friendship, but also because they needed to shake up the franchise after the past few years of turmoil."

"I don’t think they thought it would be this big of a challenge to figure out the logistics.";

'FEEDING ON UNCERTAINTY'

Apparently, the new format hasn't fully been hashed out even with production nearly underway.

"There is still no definitive process set up for how they will handle the two leads and production starts in two days," the source told us Thursday.

"Certain producers are feeding on that uncertainty though because they know the more chaotic it is, the better the drama will be for this season.

"They don’t even care if Gabby and Rachel end up hating each other by the end.

They just want a good show and better ratings.”

Fans earlier learned that Jesse, 43, will take over as host from Kaitlyn, 36, and Tayshia, 31, after he presented the dramatic 26th season of The Bachelor.

A source close to production earlier told The Sun they weren't "happy with how they were tossed to the side, and Tayshia seems over the whole show.”

The former contestants were fan favorites when they took over for Katie Thurston’s season of The Bachelorette. 

The insider said: “Tayshia and Kaitlyn have no plans on returning to host in the near future. Kaitlyn still gets involved with the franchise but Tayshia seems completely done.”

'EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED'

Executives on the show are however reportedly “borderline obsessed” with Jesse, who will host The Bachelorette for the first time.

The source earlier said that Jesse is “exactly what they [executives] were looking for in a host… an unproblematic Chris Harrison type.”

The Bachelor has shuffled around a ton since longtime host Chris Harrison, 50, was fired from the show.

Jesse announced there would be the two leads on Clayton Echard’s season of The Bachelor finale: "For the first time, we will have two Bachelorettes for the entire season."

Gabby and Rachel were in Clayton’s final two on his shocking season.

The season ended in a tearful two-part finale after Clayton seemed to regret not ending up with Susie - who ended up with the last rose in a shocking twist of events.

Rachel and Gabby both sobbed as he told them that he was in love with, and he was intimate with, both of them before choosing Susie and their friendship seemed more lasting than either's bond with him.

Amid the "disorganized" production, Season 19's cast has already been announced.
