Rachel Lindsay - Bachelor 21 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Lara wrote:I actually didn't feel like she was that into him just yet. It felt like nick was making the first moves, by pulling her into his arms when they were on the date and then telling her to "come here" to kiss her. She also hasn't shown any jealousy so far (although that might change). I wonder what Rachel's type has been before Nick, because it did feel to me that she was going through the motions but sees him as a friend, not really a romantic partner. IMO.

As far as Rachel being the Bachelorette, I actually don't even think that would be the best avenue for her to meet the type of guy she would want to settle down with unless casting changes it up and stops casting ex-athletes and personal trainers. So I think she'll be fine either way, IMO, although I selfishly would like to see more of her.

I just listened to that podcast and nowhere did Robert Mills say Nick was "begging to be the Bachelor". He just said the only person who ever though Nick would be the Bachelor was Nick himself and that he was always happy to say "I'm very interested in being the Bachelor/I'm here for you, if you need a Bachelor". Seems like it was worth repeating, since they finally took him up on his offer. But Mills also said that at that point, after 3 times on the show even Nick thought there's no way it'll happen, so it was a surprise for him in that sense. Just wanted to clarify.

I wasn't the one who used the word "begging", but I can certainly understand why people paraphrased it that way. It was pretty clear to me that Mills was throwing shade at nick "nobody ever thought of nick as the bachelor...except nick." And "Nick was always happy to say I'm here for you if you need a bachelor....always was VERY interested to be the bachelor". Like, that is thirty as h*ll. Definitely makes nick's whole "I had to talk it over with my family and it took me three days and blah blah" sound like BS. More relevant to this thread, it makes liking a bunch of complimentary IG comments sound like child's play when it comes to self-promoting. Rachel, go to nick for tips, girl!

IMO.

I just don't see the fun side and dancing with Nick is not gonna cut it for me. I need to see more from her. I still think her personality doesn't shine through on tv. She reminds me a bit of Caila. Something is missing. I'm sure she's lovely in person since she had tons of friends in the house. Rachel is still laying low and I don't think her 1 on 1 with Nick will change much as some may think it will. JMO

Did Rachel give an interview to say what type of fellows she would like? if there is one can someone please point me in the direction so I can read it?

She also took a picture with another friend on her story so maybe like you said it may be a group trip.
