Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - F1-F6 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion

@emusha,  just to clarify Will got to Week 6. IMO, that's kinda far as he was prolly in the F7 slot IMO. It should be interesting who they show Rachel focused on during that Ellen group date when that episode airs. I have another opinion that is in the mintoriy and that is I really doubt she had a front runner at that point of the Ellen group date just based on her still telling Ellen about being skeptic about the process etc. One other thing that has stood up this season to me is that RS has not posted once about hearing of a front runner and IMO that implies Rachel kinda made it a level plain field for most of the guys for a good part of filming....all jmho.

Maybe not a front runner because according to Ellen it had only been a week into filming. I would guess though that maybe three or four guys stood out to her amongst the rest.

Same here. In the video, I feel she is looking at Will. I think Will might be one of the other Week 5/Week 6 1-1 who was sent home on the date/RC. I saw some sparks on the Ellen date so I am curious to see how their story went down. I thought he was the 'assertive but not arrogant' guy who would be a good match for her but from the looks of it, she does want the 'arrogant' guy after all IMO.

Interesting as I saw nothing between Rachel and Will only that date IMO. Sure she laughed and clapped when he got water dumped on him, but she did the same thing when Alex won and got the roses.
Anyways, about the guy's left, I saw more of a connection with Peter and virtually nothing with Bryan in that Ellen video IMO. Obviously there's more to that date than one video, so I'm interested to see the conversation between Bryan and Rachel and not just dancing and kissing.

I actually don't see anything that stands out at all in the whole Ellen video to indicate any interest that qualifies as heart eyes to Will or anyone else and even when the video was posted I posted that I didn't see her that into anyone at that point.

Yeah, I have been wondering if there was a frontrunner since the beginning, I know some leads had their F1 by the first night so wondering how it will play out with Rachel.

I agree that I don't think she had a frontrunner at that point. Really the main point I was making was that Peter just came off a 1:1 with Rachel and that positions him as having built a stronger relationship with her than many of the guys on the date...as far as the video - imho I really don't see anything between Will and Rachel during the segment (s). I see Rachel locking eyes with Peter then later on Bryan I stand by that because logically it makes sense that she would have eye contact and more attention to 1 guy she's been on a date with (per evidence) and one guy she's kissed.

ITA about no connection between Rachel and Will. There were some heart eyes and glances at Peter though.

Watching that video there was some noticeable body language when Ellen stated Rachel already kissed someone. 2 men, Will and Peter, had very deflecting/avoidance body language. Maybe there was the cliche fireworks and swept me of my feet kiss on Peter's date?

@mari I think the sweep kiss was Bryan, since Rachel later said to Ellen, she didn't have to tell her who the first kiss was because he already told. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

That's what makes the most sense to me. She tells Ellen she had a kiss that swept her off her feet. Bryan said she's a great kisser. While the guys are dancing she said I don't have to tell you who the kiss was because he already told. I don't see any other way to spin her words. IMO it's very unambiguous. She was talking about Bryan.

IA! She did say he initiated the kiss and it took her by surprise and Bryan just seems the type to go for it night 1 IMO. I would take it one step further and say that was what earned him that FIR. Sweep a lady off her feet night 1 with a kiss and you are getting that FIR!

Well then Peter will be final 3 and let go next.
