I think Bryan. IMO

I would also say that it was about Eric because of the judgement part. Having no POC in her F2 would be (I think) judged by some I Think. jmo.

Technically Bryan is a POC (he's Latino/Colombian), but I agree, she may feel that she would be judged having no black men in the F2. But it seems as from other interviews TPTB really did cast based on what she told them she liked. Honestly, I love the mix and hopefully more of the leads are open to diverse casting because (IMO), the product is already significantly better.

I hope she didn't feel any pressure on who she should keep based on anyone's skin colour. SM trolls are going to post she should have chosen so and so, they always do. I'm sure it was hard to let the guys go regardless of who they were.

Maybe more so for the F3 because she was in that position IMHO.

Hit the nail on the head here IMO. People blame production and they certainly play a role but there hasn't been many leads, off the top of my head that I think would be interested in certain forms of diversity. All JMO.

I would bet my bottom dollar he is not the only one. He just might be the only one that got caught.

I wasn't necessarily thinking social media trolls. Maybe she has family or peers who judge? Or maybe she's had experience with judge-y people IRL? I mean, it is 2017, but who really knows.

Or obviously that line could end up something completely entirely different .

Yes Bryan is a POC. However IA that the cry is most likely when she let Eric go especially that one scene when she said she knows she will be judged (paraphrasing here). I am expecting some backlash regarding her not picking a black man (per the spoiler) tbh but hopeful that the viewing audience will be shown via the edit that love transcends all barriers (artificial or real). For the first time the show actually had a lead go on the Tom Joyner show which is a popular radio show in the US black community. I am looking forward to Tom and his co-hosts interviewing post show because they for real IMO will ask her why she let all the black bros go But hey the spoiled F1 has some black bro friends going from his lastest IG pic so he most likely IMO knows what's up & what to expect IMO

Her brother in law is Caucasian, so I don't think her family is judge-y. Family and real friends would IMO support her, I say who cares about the rest. That's just me.

But yes IA it could be anything, or not shown at all, as we have seen time and time again.

hehe her family is not judge-y but her dad is a judge just thought that was funny ! but i agree her family seems accepting but also want to talk about the realities that interracial couples face which is fair IMO. i agree that if people around her in her life do not support her decision then she should say bye because that would be sad

I thought the word judge-y used by @kimberlyg was cute too, that why I used it again.

I think Alexis in the video is giving it away, I mean peter was pretty hidden in this episode - IMO.
