Now, Gabby and Rachel will continue supporting each other -- just as they did during their shocking duel breakup -- as they hand out the roses on their own journey to find love.

"It's crazy," Rachel said. "This is insane and I'm excited to do this journey with you. We did it once together and we've been to the most crazy experience together."

"I'm a girl's girl through and through," Gabby said, "so having a friend by my side is the best thing I could ask for."
