Rachel Lindsay - Bachelor 21 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

I don't know but I think Rachel needs to hold her head up and put her blinders on...she has things to do... that are more important than thinking about Vanessa or talking about V or alluding to V etc etc.

All that Alexis and Rachel are doing by making random off cuff comments, coy comments or non-comments but giggling is adding fuel to the fire and creating the need for speculation. Which I for one am not a fan of. If you don't like someone fine say nothing or say everything and more importantly move on and live your own life IMO.

Multiple people asked if she likes Vanessa and she straight up said no. It was neither passive aggressive nor an allusion IMO.

She is keeping it real. oinon = many layers = bad, good, smart, naive, funny, witty, charming and etc.

Other leads have made stupid mistakes. Hopefully she is smart enough to learn fast and filter herself appropriately. Because the only way she can survive this circus is learn to play the game and pick her battles wisely.
If Vanessa is the F1(and I believe she is), she is an investment for TPTB as being part of the new couple. So it would serve both parties to go high vs going low. That would be an easy battle to let go. IMO

Is corinne a part of the squad too? I'm still not sure who's in

This woman right here...So so proud to call her our new bachelorette and my very good friend. You've always been there for me and I love you more than words can describe you're gonna kill it baby!  [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] @pacozero by @[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Also there goes the school of thought that Rachel's on lockdown, because she liked and commented

therachlindsay: @colympios Love you so much boo!!! The camera did not always capture our friendship but we know it's real! Thank you so much love (kissy face emoji)

It's supposedly Rachel, Raven, Kristina, Astrid, Alexis, Whitney, and Sarah. Not a super exclusive squad if 1/3 of the cast from night one is in it and they're all constantly hanging out with or complimenting or talking to the other girls, IMO.

Thank you so much for answering, I've genuinely asked this question like 4 times, I don't even know where it came from

Back to Rachel...

I watched her on Ellen just now and to me she was clearly shading Vanessa (and Nick), IMO, with her whole "I was shocked he didn't choose me. I guess he was looking for something else. His loss" and then going on about how "Corinne is great" (my response to that: Lord have mercy).

It was off putting to me how Rachel was and to me sounds like total sour grapes to me that she didn't win! That it's his loss. Um, no, he chose with his heart which is exactly what he should do since he is the lead! 

Not to mention, how would Rachel feel if the next Bachelor from Rachel's season says that about HER that it's her loss? I'd say the same about that guy if he was all like "Well, it's Rachel's loss she didn't choose me". Please, sit down.

I am sorry, but if you really care about someone you will be happy for them and if not, at least not have to go on Ellen as the next lead already (!!!) and have to praise yourself and shade someone else for their choices when it is THEIR journey not hers. 

It's one of my pet peeves with these contestants that they hype themselves and never seem to voice their flaws and rather buy into their own hype. It's why I like Nick cause at least he owns his stuff and will do so openly and has always said he doesn't buy into the hype either. Rachel is coming across to me like she thinks she's all that. Sorry, you're not. No one is.

Well, just wait until Rachel's season and a bunch of guys who are going on so they can get their piece of the 15-minute-pie and start shading Rachel and lets see how she speaks then.... 

Does anybody know if Rachel liked Nick instagram post about her

I checked his IG post and NO- she did not 'like' that post all about how amazing she is.
However I have checked a few other IG posts of various cast & some pacozero posts and Rachel never seems to like any of them. She sometimes comments but haven't found a like yet. Perhaps the F3 were told never to 'like' posts in their de-brief session. Perhaps thats why she said she does not 'LIKE' Vanessa. Taking it too far Rachel, too far

.

I find the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] comment witty, it's her usual tone of humor.

About Rachel vs. Vanessa ... I am so bored and annoyed and just over it to begin with, that all these "new things coming out" are just making my eyes roll. Let it be over soon! Like, right now, please! (I'm speaking to people concerned if by any chance they read here)
It fells like another Taylor Swift vs. Katy Perry feud, "all American sweetheart with a perfect image, business savvy and gorgeous looking young woman " (who is very open about her ex-boyfriends recount) vs. "politically-correct, "I kissed a girl" pot-stirrer, woman-empowerment advocate" (who's been dating controversial men, famous for their "love" life) ... but unlike Swift and Perry, Rachel's squad doesn't include the A-listers and Vanessa hasn't made a comment calling someone "Regina George" like Perry did.
But even in that feud ... inspiration created new songs, the buzz kept their names in the media and the coverage of the feud sparks many debates, theories, media pinning and the sales go up.

I wonder who is benefiting from all of this? (JMO: TPTB, I'm clearly so not a fan)

mindless wrote:I don't think they're bitter because Nick didn't choose them, rather bitter because Vanessa, who they all disliked, "won". They probably see it as Nick validating her "bad" behaviour. In any case, it's stupid because Nick was there to find a mate for himself, not to rank these ladies in some kind of an order of congeniality. I really hate how the competition aspect of this show makes people think some deserve a rose more than others based on stuff that has nothing to do with their relationship with the lead. Rachel herself has said that the worst thing about the Bachelor was living with all these women, so you'd think she would understand others, like Vanessa, struggling in that environment. It doesn't mean Vanessa is a bad person in real life or a poor match for Nick. JMO.

I agree with your assessment.
