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

Didn't catch the IG vid so not going to comment on it.

The Corinne/Rachel post was sweet.

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)

Thanks [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I wasn't meaning anything beyond humour about the not 'LIKING' comment. When I noticed that Rachel does not like a lot of IG posts that shows IMO that Rachel is NOT on SM as much and/ or has been schooled about how to respond, it shows that her liking or not liking Nick's post about her becoming the Bette does NOT mean anything either way.
That said- I am having doubts about Rachel after reading what was said on her IG live session. I think I will stay off commenting on Rachel's thread entirely from now on as I'm clearly biased towards Nick & Vanessa. I'll stay on their threads as I'm a lot happier there.
All JMHO. :Chris: :Nick:

My .02 cents: I didn't see the IGstory so I'm not going to comment on that. Same with the fight or negative comments behind back that wasn't shown, I didn't see that either. I am going to comment on speaking negatively now or behaving negatively towards others when they can't defend themselves. The problem is that I see a bunch of them doing it with a seemingly ring leader. It looks bully-ish and clique-ish. I'm sorry but this looks like a bunch of highschool kids who were given a TV opportunity to be mean.

Hi everyone! Been lurking around for quite some time and finally decided to post something. In regards to the question of if Rachel liked Nick's Instagram post, the answer is yes she did. I get that most people on here are team Vanessa from what I've noticed. JMO so my opinion is probably not going to matter. Anyways been a big fan of Rachel and was a bigger fan of Vanessa before the season started. However, I noticed that as the show kept going there has been something off. Anyways what I like about Rachel is that she keeps it 100. It is clear that she doesn't try to fake anything for anyone. I mean does anyone not think that it's weird that Vanessa is the only contestant on IG that she doesn't follow? Also people have said that Vanessa had said some not so nice things about Rachel, of course none of us will never know and we can only speculate. I personally can not stand reality Steve however he's pretty on point with spoilers so why is it so hard to believe that some people may not have liked Vanessa? Or that she may have called Danielle fake and said mean things about Rachel? I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone but imo I just feel like the smallest things that Rachel does are taken out of context or built into something even bigger. An example of this is the Ellen Show before I came on here to read the opinions I actually loved the interview, thought she was sweet and charming and the whole thing felt like banter. I didn't even think that the 'his loss' comment was that big of a deal at all. But to each their own. I really wish there was more I could say without giving much away and I don't want to make this about Vanessa but let's just say that it's important that Vanessa gets a good edit and it has everything to do with this being Nick's fourth time on the show. Viewers wouldn't want to watch him end up with the 'villain' because it destroys the illusion that they will get a HEA. Also, yes they are trying to sell it as 'oh gosh maybe he doesn't end up with anyone' in order for Vanessa saying yes to be a big surprise ands satisfying ending for everyone because Nick has finally found the one! JMO. I'll just say let's just see how the next couple of months post show plays out. . Back to Rachel, I think she'll be amazing as bachelorette and I'm excited to see her season. Can't wait to see how WTA plays out. Seems like she was nothing but graceful. But yea I just felt like I needed to state my opinion on the Rachel/Vanessa matter. I know most people on here like I've said are Vanessa fans so this might not be an enjoyable post to read. But anyways have a great day.

Rachel looked fantastic at the latest event she went to. The confidence in herself just shows. I wonder how many guys will be able to handle that. Off topic, but didn't look like Justin was lip syncing? Hmmm.... LOL

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

But she did though. My own screenshot from this morning. The like isn't new either, she's liked it since he posted it.

I don't actually know if most fans on here are Vanessa fans, because I've seen pretty divided opinions for a long time. Maybe they are, but it's definitely not by a landslide, IMO. I just think most of the discussions have been on Vanessa's threads, so you're bound to find more fans over there who are inclined to defend her. It doesn't mean conflicting opinions are unwelcome as those opinions do stay on the board. I hope people feel comfortable enough to state their opinions, because I enjoy reading them (provided they don't attack people without basis).

I do a agree with you, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , to some degree. I think, often, where there's smoke there's fire. I don't think Vanessa is completely innocent, but as far as what truly happened, we can only speculate like you said. So as far as that goes, I don't think she's as guilty as she's sometimes made out to be. I think of it like a court case, the burden of proving someone's guilt is on the prosecution and so far I haven't seen anything concrete to really pin the blame on Vanessa. Right now, I'm not convinced. JMO.

The Bach franchise is resembling the Jerry Springer show more and more. imo

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I think there are a lot of members who like both of them. There are also members who don't "fan" and watch the goings on with a bowl of popcorn. And then we do get the fans for one or fans for the other. So thankfully there are fan threads.
I guess there is something for everyone!
