The reunion doesn't air until later this month on ABC, but Rachel has teased it's going to be dramatic, emotional, and even volatile at times -- and that fans should brace themselves.
"As far as the taping goes, I was sitting there with Gabby. Obviously we came off a very, very messy season, and I thought our After the Final Rose was pretty messy and pretty bad," Rachel told Becca Kufrin and Michelle Young on a recent episode of the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast.
"But this, I think this has to be, probably, the messiest reunion that's ever going to happen!"
The flight instructor continued, "The amount of people that were just, like, coming at each other's necks -- whom you would never expect -- I was like, 'Where is this coming from?!' It was absolutely crazy."
Rachel, in fact, called the reunion "insane" and said Bachelor in Paradise bachelorette Eliza Isichei surprised her the most with how her love triangle with Justin Glaze and Rodney Mathews ended.
Rachel confirmed love stories will definitely come out of this season -- and maybe even some "rekindling" -- but she suggested "The Split" twist was likely to blame for all the tension she had witnessed on the stage that day.
"This time, I think maybe the switch week might have played a part in that, them not having as much as time together, but there is of course still gonna be love at the end of the day," Rachel shared.

Rachel dubbed the reunion "crazy" and said last season of the show, Season 7 which aired in Summer 2021, will remain "the gold standard" for creating the most successful relationships for now.
Bachelor in Paradise continues next Monday, November 14 and Tuesday, November 15 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.

At this point in the Bachelor in Paradise season, the strong couples are Brandon Jones and Serene Russell, Genevieve Parisi and Aaron Clancy, Victoria Fuller and Johnny DePhillipo, and Michael Allio and Danielle Maltby.
Couples who were established during "The Split" twist were Andrew Spencer and Jessenia Cruz, Tyler Norris and Brittany Galvin, and Logan Palmer and Kate Gallivan.
Shanae Ankney has also sparked a strong connection with one of the twins, Joey Young.
For Rachel's part, she is currently single -- but dating again -- after she broke off her engagement to The Bachelorette 19 winner Tino Franco.
