The Bachelorette season 19 started with 32 men, including now-eliminated Jacob Rapini, who had his fair share of ups and downs with the other men. The Bachelorette season 19 is several episodes in, and it's not unheard of for several contestants to rub each other the wrong way. In this season of The Bachelorette, Jacob seemed to be on every guy's bad side in The Bachelor mansion.
Jacob is a 27-year-old mortgage broker from Scottsdale, Arizona. He piqued the interest of Bachelor nation when he came onto the show on a white horse, shirtless, slathered in body oil, and wearing jeans. His ABC bio revealed that Jacob's picky about love seeing as he wants a relationship that would last a lifetime and was hoping to find that with The Bachelorette's Gabby Windey or Rachel Reccia. He revealed that his ideal wife would turn heads with her beauty both on the inside and out. Jacob has also shown that he has specific priorities concerning his fitness and health and hopes for the same from his future spouse. Jacob's strong-willed nature doesn't seem like much of a problem for him, but it did affect his other Bachelorette housemates.
Jacob initially seemed like a great fit for The Bachelorette since he was passionate about finding love, but the other men disagreed. According to Reality Steve via Showbiz CheatSheet Jacob was allegedly involved in some kind of altercation during The Bachelorette season 19 that didn't air. Since it's unclear what went down between Jacob and the other men, fans will never know what caused the altercation or who it was with. Jacob started The Bachelorette initially with Gabby, who loved how he showed her his list of wants for a future wife. Gabby did admit she was distracted by his physique, especially his pecs, which she described as “rock hard.” She also liked that he was intentional even though he was shy.
However, Jacob was more interested in Rachel and wanted to pursue her. Despite his honesty, Jacob was sent home during episode 3. The spoilers also revealed that there is a chance viewers might get to see Jacob again on Bachelor in Paradise season 8 with some other cast members from The Bachelorette season 19, such as Hayden Markowitz, Joey Young, Justin Young, Johnny DePhillipo, Logan Palmer, and Tyler Norris. They’ll be hoping to hit the beach and also find love along the way. Hopefully, Jacob is not involved in any other altercation on BIP.
The Bachelorette season 19 will likely have more twists to come besides the issues with Jacob. The series is notorious for its male-on-male feuds, and there will be more between the other guys on the cast. Fans of the series will be rooting for Gabby and Rachel to find love through it all. The fans can only speculate if Jacob will find love on his second try in the upcoming season of BIP.
