The Bachelorette's 2017 star, Rachel Lindsay, admits she's hoping Blake Horstmann wins Becca Kufrin's heart on the show's currently-airing fourteenth season.

Blake has been a frontrunner from the start of The Bachelorette competition, as they enjoyed the first one-on-one date of the season and things haven't slowed down since.

Although Becca appears to have incredible chemistry with Garrett Yrigoyen and Jason Tartick as well, she has admitted on a couple of different occasions her relationship with Blake is the strongest given they connect on an emotional, mental and physical level.

"When I was watching [the July 9] episode, my initial reaction was, 'Whoa. I hope she picks Blake,' because whoever she's sitting at home with is going to have a really hard time hearing all the things she was saying," Rachel shared with Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview.

Blake was the first bachelor to tell Becca, "I love you," and then she confessed to cameras she reciprocated those exact same feelings.

Becca, however, intentionally did not express those feelings of love to Blake since two other men were still in the picture. (After all, things didn't work out well for Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Ben Higgins, who both told their Final 2 ladies they loved them).

"He said he was in love with her, she said she feels the same way and he doesn't know it. I pray who's on the couch next to her is Blake, because if it isn't, that's tough," Rachel noted.

Blake is the only man on The Bachelorette whom Becca has said she's in love with so far this season.

But everything could change with overnight Fantasy Suite dates right around the corner!

When Rachel starred as the Bachelorette on Season 13, she was constantly shown gushing about her feelings for her runner-up, Peter Kraus, who devastated her before the Final Rose Ceremony by revealing he was not ready to get engaged.

Rachel can therefore relate to what Becca might be going through if she ended up choosing Jason or Garrett instead, because Rachel watched her season unfold on television with her fiancĂ© Bryan Abasolo.

In fact, Rachel told ET that she gushed about falling in love with Bryan on-camera -- but the footage never aired in order to increase "drama" and the emotional storyline revolving around Peter.

"I think it's great they're showing how Becca really feels about Blake," noted Rachel, who doesn't seem to be Garrett's biggest fan after his recent Instagram controversy.
