Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #6

@Jmack When she came back from the Bachelor she went back to work and was in court. She even said she is naive to it, someone set up her SM for her I believe, now imagine been away for 3 months taping the show, SM wont be on the top of her head I do believe IMHO.

My question is why though?  And I don't think it's simply out of the goodness of their hearts or she's too happy to hide it or that they're changing everything up, just for her.  I think there's more to it than that, just not sure exactly what yet.  

JMO

As much as I love it and it's doing it's job of getting me sooo over-invested in this season, I totes agree with Ladybug that typically it would be a sign of a big shoe to drop  It does worry me a bit as a big Petal fan and Rachel supporter

That type of love or hate just makes these contestants go crazy and I love that Rachel doesn't let herself fall for that. One of the many reasons I love this girl. IMO.

This girl keeps getting more impressive with each new interview I listen to, JMO.

And to the bolded  woot woot  
I agree she is so impressive and just gets moreso. IMO.

ETA being an adult with an actual career to go back to (vs trying to turn her sm into a career)  might have a little something to do with her much healthier relationship to sm than most in the franchise.   Again JIMHO.

IMHO I dont think there is anything to drop, she is a lawyer and I would hope she did not sign a contract that would damage her career.  She did say she did nothing to get disbarred over so I am hoping for the best. IMHO

Rachel says she only fell in love with one guy, emphasizing the "fell" part of it.

@relaxing A small part of me is worried too. But I don't think Rachel is a good enough of an actor to fake her enthusiasm. And I think TPTB know there would be major backlash against them if they set Rachel up for failure or if they threw her under the bus in some capacity.

What a funny interview. Did she just admit she chose Peter, was my hearing right?

I just assumed all the interviews was due to her being the first woc lead, they are getting a lot of press, there is quite a lot of coverage about it.
Also have no idea how the promo tour schedule works but she is going back to work next week so and I am guessing she will not be promoting as much.

@realitytvfan11 thanks for the interview she looked really cute, lool don't think she realized it but she slightly gave it away that it is not Bryan, late bloomer..

@reason She was saying "mmmhmm" to the interviewer's comment that Peter is hot.

I think she agreed that Peter is hot! Lol 

Isn't it a long weekend in America? Would be perfect for their first "meet up" since getting engaged

@Carine I don't think Peter is a late bloomer either though. Especially because the ITMs with her in the outfit she was wearing during the Peter date featured her gushing over their date imo. This is the part where the irrational part of me wonders if it is Eric the, heh. Mostly joking. But the "late bloomer" comment came more from the interviewer. I think her point is more that she was conflicted throughout the process and it wasn't clear to her until later on whom she was going to ultimately choose.

@Topazgold I believe they will IMHO.

@realitytvfan11 I like your rational of the late bloomer. IMHO

IA....the interviewer was the one that first said "late bloomer" and then Rachel repeated it that it was a "late bloomer". I think Rachel said this to imply that she didn't know at the meet and greet limo entrance who her F1 was. I kinda believe this because Ali said on the ET show that she advised Rachel to not zone on guys like Ali did on her season but to give everyone a chance.
