I started reading it but it made my brain hurt

Lol. It's definitely a lot. I hope they do a bunch of statistical analysis on this season. #NerdAlert

I read a fair bit of sports articles and blogs. There are lots of sites that do great statistical analysis. 538 is NOT one of them. JMO.

I'm not saying that some or all of them don't truly like her, but that doesn't mean their motives are all pure. I also keep in mind that none of those people was a threat to her on the show or crossed her.

I look at the overall picture. I know it may seem like I don't like Rachel, but that is not the case. She has many good points, but I am also aware of several things she has done...post show...that I didn't care for and those are the things that make me go hmmm. I will keep them in mind for the future to see if I am correct or incorrect in my evaluation of Rachel. Right now I'm still Switzerland.

I don't see how Raven and Corinne weren't threats to her. Raven had already met Nick's parents at week 4, essentially confirming she was a frontrunner, and everyone has said that Corinne/Nick's connection was obvious in the house. And Mills has said that Kristina would have likely been the Bachelorette if Rachel wasn't, so there's another threat to her when it comes to being the Bachelorette and I'm sure she sensed that given her backstory and popularity in the house. Again, I remind people that the reason Raven said they were all team Rachel was because Rachel *wasn't* the typical competitive female they were used to and that she saw the beauty in all. She was surrounded by beautiful women, who were her competition, and she got along with everyone except one. And that one person had issues with many people. IMO.

Because pretty much all the women knew Nick would pick Vanessa. Several of the early....more neutral....eliminated women commented that he would pick her because he always was looking for V and knew where she was. Hence her ONLY competition in the house was V. As for Kristina being the Bette, again, that was up to Rachel. She didn't have to compete with anyone...other than V. And did anyone seriously think that Corine would be F1?

I don't want to keep or get off topic. This is my opinion. I liked Rachel when we first started sleuthing Nick's season. I liked her during the show. Post show, there have now been several questionable things said and done by her, that give me pause. As a result, I am now neutral on Rachel. I will wait to see how things go from here....during the show and post show.

That Wisconsin upgrade too Either way, wasn't nick on Kimmel the night of his premiere thanking Andi and Kaitlyn for not picking him. I can't remember exactly what he said but it was something to a similar effect. All Jmo.

Yes but they were both with him at the time.  This comment from Rachel is throwing shade IMO.

I think it's best to agree to disagree on this one and I don't want to get too OT either. I just always bought it was interesting that nick listed Vanessa, Rachel, and Danielle l as his top three girls in that interview he did while in NOLA. And who were the two girls that Vanessa (allegedly) went after? We even have girl with no job, whose good friends with Corinne, saying that she heard that Vanessa threw a tantrum and starting screaming at Rachel at the volleyball date. And, we've had Vanessa's own friends, like Christen and Josephine, say she was very insecure. We've had zero people say that about Rachel. To me, the story is very clear here, but I respect everyone's opinion. IMO.
