On Monday, Bachelorette fans were taken south of the border as Gabby, 31, and her co-lead Rachel Recchia, come to the end of their journey.

ICU nurse Gabby was the first to go on a date, as she and Erich, 29, flung off their clothes to go lake diving.

Erich revealed his muscular physique in a pair of board shorts, while Gabby stripped down to a barely-there bikini.

But producers of the ABC show obviously thought that her white two-piece was too much for TV, and censored the thong bottoms with a black box over gabby’s butt cheeks.

Many viewers disagreed with the editing decision and took to Twitter to voice their opinion as the episode aired.

“Can we get rid of the stupid black box. It’s just a bikini,” wrote one.

Another ripped ABC for “going hard with the black box whenever and wherever they can.”

“Equality would be putting a black box on Erich’s mullet,” snarked a third, referring to the contestant’s retro hairstyle.

During Peter Weber‘s season of The Bachelor, the show was roasted for “noticeably Photoshopping larger bikini bottoms over the ladies’ sexy swimwear choices.

Fans have ridiculed the editing style for years, especially on the spin-off show Bachelor in Paradise, where the exotic destination makes for plenty of bikini-clad scenes.
