Rapidity gaps between two hard jets at the Tevatron have been interpreted as being due to the exchange of two gluons which are in an overall color-singlet state. We show that this simple picture involves unitarity violating amplitudes. Unitarizing the gluon exchange amplitude leads to qualitatively different predictions for the fraction of $t$-channel color singlet exchange events in forward $qq$, $qg$ or $gg$ scattering, which better fit Tevatron data.
