Rachel = they had a great conversation and it made him feel great about their relationship.


He never said attraction with Rachel but with Vanessa he did.

See to me in a way says the opposite. Vanessa = attraction.. is just surface and Rachel = relationship.. is deeper.

I listened to the AOL Build, I thought he had nice things to say about a few of them. As far as Rachel, I think he was genuine in what he was saying, rather than trying to sell her credentials as the next 'ette, it sounded like what he truly feels about her.

I didn't listen to the GMA Pop yet.

In the GMA POP he briefly talked about Alexis, mentioned BIP as he did in his blog, mentioned Whitney briefly, when asked about Rachel he used words like beautiful smart cliche felt like he's known her forever easy to hang out with.

He was not asked about anyone else who is still there, so it's difficult to compare to others. Who was the host in the grey dress that wouldn't STHU?

During Kelly, they never asked or mentioned Rachel at all. However they did have an almost 5 minute Corrine game show. They read 5-6 lines and he had to guess if Corrine said it or not.

During GMA Pop he responded to their prompt about Rachel then later on he mentioned her again unsolicited to describe his connection in comparison with someone else like Whitney.

During at least one of the interviews I believe he mentioned Rachel first without being asked (AOL Build?).

During AOL Build I believe he mentioned Rachel around 4 different times in the conversation. 1) which women were most comfortable being themselves in front of the camera (the interviewer did not mention Rachel) 2) discussing corrine he brought up rachel saying she was very good at engaging him (the interviewer did not mention Rachel) 3) discussed that he mentioned to rachel that the week is one that's very intense (the interviewer did not mention Rachel) 4) Rachel's convo during the CP with him made him feel good about their relationship (interviewer generally talked about the tough CP but didn't specifically discuss Rachel)

I believe he is being very very real and he truly means what he says when he talks about Rachel.
But I also think the repeated manner of her being discussed in these interviews along with the tweet from MF about something historic hint at a possible bachelorette positioning. we shall see.

Here is a better view of Rachel's dress from 1 of the rose ceremonies.
It's my fav dress of the season so far.

It has been my experience that whenever leads get asked about their F1...like word association...they always describe them in terms of attraction...Sexy, hot, etc...not in terms of relationship. They pretty much always pick who they are feeling the hots for.

Except Ben. Didn't he call Jojo sexy and Lauren sweet?

I'm still liking Rachel a lot and I really hope she becomes the next Bachelorette.

Another interview where Nick talks about Rachel as potential bette

I noticed this scene while i was watching today, the way that he is looking at her is so sweet and he did not even want to leave with Jasmine. Just a genuine moment between them   . I am starting to doubt if Rachel is F3.

They really are ADORABLE together. I like them a lot

I'm ready for more previews to be able to determine Raven / Rachel F2/F3 placement.  

But IMO, the fact there is something between them might indeed be why Rachel is F3.  Nick does not want to keep any of the girls longer than necessary to let their feelings develop more if he can't reciprocate.  So, IMO, if Rachel is indeed let go at F3, she may have actually been his F2 in terms of feelings.  He wouldn't be the first lead to do this and IMO it would help better set her up for 'Ette, since most come from the F3 spot.  I could see him letting her go a few days earlier at the F3 spot than holding her there to F2.  Because it would spare her feelings some and he wouldn't have to continue to lead her or string her along, if he knew he was 100% not going to choose her.  Wouldn't matter IMO if he knew he was 100% on choosing Vanessa or anyone else at the point, just that he wasn't going to choose Rachel.
