Eric Bigger - Bachelorette 13 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

Agree with y'all on Eric - I have been a little disconnected this season as I am not invested in either of the F2 but I do love Eric and Alex - both are gems and I would love to see a season with either as lead or both!

I like Eric but I think TPTB will exploit him too much and I am not interested in seeing that. The mind games TPTB play on these people is bad enough while they are contestants and it gets worse when they are leads IMO. Eric is too honest and emotional IMO and is not the right fit for this show. I would much rather see him quit while he is still ahead and leave the franchise with a positive edit from the 'Ette.

All JMO

When Rachel came in to tell the guys about the final dates and no rose ceremony, she sat close to Eric (not Bryan). As she said you need to trust me and the decisions that I make are for a reason, she glanced at Eric. She was talking to Eric. He caught it and relaxed. This is what they mean by inner connection. They understand each other. And I think this is why Eric seemed pretty balanced and not too upsets about her other 1:1 dates that week. He is trusting her like she asked him to do. Rachel knows what she is doing in her decisions to get what she wants.

I noticed Eric is growing his beard in this past episode! I was thinking he grew it right after filming. hhmm.. wonder if he grew it so he would look even hotter down on one knee at the end! JMO

I have no invested interest in who Rachel finds love with but I would not be surprised for Eric to be the last man standing. I know the spoilers are Peter then Bryan....and for me when the spoiler was Peter I was seeing it....and when the spoiler switched to Bryan...I was seeing that too....If Eric had been spoiled as the F1, I wonder how his actions and the parts of his and Rachel's friendship/relationship on the show and post show would be perceived.

@clueless agree! Plus I think they wanted to be left in peace post season, and they are giving viewers a chance to fall in love with Eric and to see that he is the right and best choice for her, and frankly with these 4, her ONLY choice. Then viewers will be more accepting. I myself wanted her to choose Eric from day 1, from ATFR. It will be interesting for sure. #TeamEric

This is the first pic Eric put up of himself post season, May 22.

I just wondered if  maybe that is the suit that ABC put him in for the FRC. Those are the shoes he wore on the HTD.  And the basketball may be the one they used to play basketball on the HTD.

Here is another pic in the same suit, June 19.

In the white T he wore for FD?

LOL Just wondering....

ETA:  I just noticed this. This is the instagram pic of him with the basketball, not the one from May 22. This one was posted on June 27. It's like he is adding these elements, mementos from the dates.

Those are really good pics of Eric. I'm hoping she picks him. They would make a great looking couple. JMO

Does anyone think there is a strong possibility that Rachel chooses Eric

I do.  Imo, Rachel has heen really into Eric since Nick''s ATFR, and her girls confirmed it in an interview (don't recall which one), and Bryan was one the guys she met at the ATFR, but he apparently wasn't on her radar at the time.  I believe that TPTB wanted Rachel to focus early on the guys who they wanted  for BIP and the next Lead.   IMO Bryan wants the lead role, and I saw BIP following on Peter''s SM, and we already know that Dean was pick for BIP.  So of the F4 who''s left?  Eric!!!  Also, Eric is the one that I saw Rachel lose herself in their kiss, and it was funny how viewer's were wondering where did that come from.  Again, JMO

and Bryan was one the guys she met at the ATFR,

Rachel did not meet Bryan at the AFR. She met Eric, DeMario, Dean and Blake.

Season might not even have started if she had met B at the atfr they probs would have run away together before filming.

As for Eric, he's a horrible match for her imo. She's about a zillion times more educated, intelligent and on a different plane altogether imo.. He's a nice guy but not for R imo and definitely, definitely hope he's not the next lead either. I'll take anyone over him. Will or Alex anyone?? Swoon city.
