Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #5

@Carine that one made me laugh too.

@coolangel I was just reading about one of the contestants sister defending the bio answers, I mean I get it but seriously just ignore or delete and block as unfortunately there will be a lot of comments coming during/after the show.

Yep IMO.  Interesting to me.  

If the spoiler is right, we break the pattern of first night chemistry guy gets FIR, already kissing, snuggling etc, goes on to be the last man standing.  Instead a slower burn love, that makes more sense as a forever choice to Rachel surpasses the immediate physical chemistry guy.  Would be a great story to see and a nice change. IMO.

If the spoiler is a foiler, we get the same pattern as Kaitlyn, Jojo and even Andi really (IMO) that first night chemistry guy, has to wait for ep5 for a date to give other guys a chance, but really is always the one throughout.  IMO.

I hope and suspect we're getting option one JMO, but either way should be interesting to the end as Rachel will likely have two strong but different relationships that can be analyzed and debated.  Fun!  Actually I think because she is so awesome and can get along with people so easily, she's going to have a great thing with each of her top 4 and that always makes a great show IMO.

It's all very well that Rachel and Bryan had chemistry the first night because they made out...maybe he was the only one that tried...but, that doesn't necessarily mean that Peter is a slow burn. Rachel and Peter had a date right away and she probably had chemistry with him as well. You can have hot chemistry with more than one person at the same time...particularly on this show and she said he was cute right from the start so clearly she was attracted to him as well. As she gets to know them, the physical attraction can morph into something more...or something less.

It looks to be a good season. I think I will enjoy myself.

@Petalfan I don't see why Peter or any other contestant, production  can not defend Rachel if F1 or not. There is nothing wrong with standing up to hatred or ignorance ever IMO. In 2017 the time to be silent is over. JMO

@TLTF I like the advice they give her actually.  Raven is not dumb at all to me anyway, she gave good advice.  I am seeing some of them in a good light.  The penguin girl is she the one with the wine glass? I love Corinne here, she seems different and her words were honest.

@TLTF thanks, that was quite cute.

@reason lool dolphin/shark yes Alexis..

I was super over Nick's girls and even though I know they're Rachel's friends, I was annoyed that they'd be on. Now, seeing that scene though, that entire interaction is so cute, and again speaks to the bond they formed.

Rachel and Raven have a special friendship and it so cute to watch! They hit if off from night 1 when Rachel dared Raven to pick up the first impression rose. I just love when women empower each other.

Oh I agree Sprite. I didn't mean to say she wouldn't have chemistry with Peter.  Quite the opposite IMO.  From the first time I watched the Ellen vid which is only about a week into filming, I've thought Rachel couldn't take her eyes off Peter IMO and they already seemed to have a connection and IMO it was clear she had a thing for him already. JMO.  I'm expecting a love story for them from night one and great chemistry JMO. I'd bet they kissed on their first date which is the first one on one of the season and ep 2 and their story will build from there.  IMO.

I'm just thinking above from a show perspective and how they might edit/tell a story arc over a season. TPTB usually deal in pretty one-dimensional stuff IMO. If Rachel is making out with Bryan night one and he's a really physical type of guy, they have a built in way to present and contrast the 2 relationships IMO. You can see it a bit IMO in the HTDs where Rachel and Bryan's gave them opportunities for sexy salsa dancing vs Peter and Rachel sweetly out in a big public crowd shopping at a farmers market no public making out on display.  IMO.

I didn't at all mean she won't have great chemistry with Peter.  I've been dying to see it on display    and can't wait because I think it will be hot and romantic and (if he's F1), IMO the base of a much deeper bond than the initial chemistry with Bryan.

I honestly can't wait for Monday.

@reason Yes. And the bond between Rachel and Raven was really sweet to watch

@Carine It was cute I liked it!

@Dessler @TLTF noticed Raven was getting emotional thought she was going to cry..
