Gabby Windey
3Windey, 31, is a cheerleader for NFL's Denver Broncos, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, she showed her passion extends beyond the field.
When the Covid-19 pandemic closed stadiums and hospitals were in dire need of staff, Windey, who had been dancing since the age of 12, focused her energy on saving lives.
She had been a nurse for three years when she was hired to be a cheerleader for the Denver Broncos in 2016.
During the pandemic, Windey put the majority of her focus into her nursing job and worked 12 hours or more.
The result of her efforts was winning the Pop Warner Humanitarian Award in 2020– alongside the Cleveland Chiefs lineman Laurent Duvernay-Tardif – making her the first woman to receive the award.
On the March 15 finale, Clayton sat both Gabby and Rachel down to break up with them.
"It's not feasibly possible for me to be in love with three women like I said I was," Clayton said.

Gabby did not hold back on confronting Clayton when he broke up with her.
"When you say you love someone, you're assuming responsibility to protect someone's feelings and you didn't do that."
Gabby also expressed that Clayton might have had ulterior motives all along.
"I truly felt that we were on our own journey," Gabby said.
"But watching it back, you were clearly pinning us against each other."
When Clayton asked Gabby if he could walk her out, she responded and quickly said "no."
