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

It was an interview of him and Vanessa. I don't remember his exact words but it was something like they won't be watching but they will for sure hear about it. Something like that. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

It's comments like Kelly asking how happy is she that she didn't end up as the F1 with Nick, and her response, you said it not me, and that she's moved on to better things that I find totally unnecessary and arrogant.

Even though she was apparently shocked when she was let go because she thought they had a strong connection, she wouldn't be the lead if it wasn't for his season. People that need to belittle others to make themselves look better are IMO on a huge ego trip.

That kind of comments remind me of her friends's (Kristina-Alexis-Raven) snapchats last season.. Disrespectful and arrogant..

Just classless IMO and seems to be a pattern of that as well from what I've seen. Not a good look. jmo

She better actually live tweet. Last season every time she said she'd do it, she tweeted maybe 4 things max the entire episode

I bet Kimmel is going to guess the finalist (like he did in Nicks season) and she is not going to be able to contain herself if he says "Peter"!!!

In another interview, she's stated that she's happy for Nick. Imo nothing wrong with what she's said, Nick isn't a god. That's her opinion, she feels like she had upgraded which she has, imo. However, everyone has a right to think what she says is 'inappropriate/mean' etc. I personally don't see it that way. 

Anyways TGIM. I can't wait to watch her season unfold! Go Rach!

Well, I LOL at her response as I would have probably responded in the same manner. I found it funny; it was a joke. Rachel is very self-assured, very confident. She should not have to dim her shine to feed anyone's ego. She has spoken positively about Nick but he dumped her. She moved on and found love. I love her sassiness. As someone one upthread, we have all said something similar about an ex. Also, did Nick really give her this opportunity or was it MF & Co. Keep your confidence high, Rachel! jmho 

Well for someone who was ready to accept his proposal and marry the guy, she certainly sounds bitter for someone who is supposedly so happy. He seemed to be just fine for her according to her, now she's upgrading? Be happy for others, what's so difficult.

I can't find the video now, but there's this article where they say they will watch if they have time.

Also getting buzz lately is Rachel Lindsay's upcoming season of The Bachelorette -- which Viall and Grimaldi say they'll definitely be tuning in to if their schedules allow.



"Our schedules are a little crazier than they have been in the past, but we definitely support her," Viall said.

"I'm sure it's going to be a great season," Grimaldi agreed.

@amundefined2 He dumped her? She was no more "dumped" than any of the other women before her or any of the men that she will be eliminating before she picks her final man at the end of her journey.
IMO a truly confident person does not have to sacrifice their own ego for that of someone else's. I have a feeling she feels this way, too. JMO

I actually looked up some videos of Rachel talking about nick. I've only seen her said she was happy for him. She didn't mention vanessa though, which clearly shows there was an issue there. But I don't mind her not mentioning Vanessa, because I can't stand when people are fake. If you don't like her, don't say anything, IMO.

I'm confused by the whole thing too. It seems like in more than one of her recent interviews she said she had regrets and thought "what if" she had opened up more to Nick. So I don't think she's pissed or bitter or anything like that. It's pretty well established that she and Vanessa don't like each other, so I'm sure she's had some moments of "if he wants her, he clearly wasn't right for me." Which seems pretty normal to me.

That said, with her "what if" statements re: Nick, she probably realized her F1 might not be all that happy, so she probably wanted to make clear that she's super happy with her F1 and therefore is happy she didn't end up with Nick. My guess it was more her being super happy about her new man and the way it worked out. I'm pretty sure JoJo has said that she was super happy the way things worked out and that didn't mean it was a shade on Ben.

But of course, this is all my own opinion and I think Rachel is awesome (and still like Nick), so yeah.

true!

I can't come up with one single reason to justify knocking someone down on national tv or in media interviews. The very same person that you were prepared to get engaged to. It's not the first time she's done that.

That's it for my rant on this one, until she says something else I don't like.
