Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - Episode 3 - *Sleuthing Spoilers*

gurlbrit wrote:Wow if this is the quality of the rest of Rachel's season I think I may be done, I had to turn the TV off when Blake and Lucas started going at each other when they were eliminated and again when Eric started ranting and raving.  The producers and psychologists really got some "peaches" this season.  If I remember correctly CH said that there were multiple villains; but WTF with Eric's anger how did it make it to F4?

ITA based on how Nick's season was edited I'd say this is par for the course and will be like this all season. I literally forwarded through a majority of the episode esp those ridiculous ones.

I keep going back to what CH said if Bryan is ready to settle down which I assuming something that Rachel questioned and was uncertain about maybe..

I also think it's really interesting that CH said "look out for Peter" in his FB live thing. Seems like more of a thing you would do if Peter was the foiled winner and you're going along with that versus actually just giving away the winner. IMO.

Both the F1 and F2 will have issues at the end. The qui don't know yet is who will be able to overcome them.

I can see that Peter is the same nice guy that Chris Siegfried was/is, but the key difference to me and what saved Des was Chris showed Des from moment one that he liked her and was there for her no matter what. She had absolutely no reason to doubt or be concerned that Chris loved and adored her. To me that is Bryan. At least to me right now, I have not seen Peter go out of his way to be that with Rachel. But it is only episode 3, so I will wait and see.

And while I will always adore Chris S and Des, every pot has its lid. Rachel is no where like Des. IMO.

Yeah, I don't see the Brooks/Bryan comparison at all. If anything he would be the Arie or Charlie of the season - the guy who the lead never fully trusts and/or the guy that she has a mostly physical relationship with. I'm not fully convinced though as Bryan was talking about Rachel has no problem opening up to him. It just seems there's a lot there that we're not being shown.IMO.

As much as I like Peter and think he's a nice guy, I really think he'd do better in the Bachelor environment where the women are pursuing him. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's probably just a more reserved guy and that's okay because I'm the same way but I think that doesn't work well in the Bachelorette environment where you're 1 of 31 guys. If he's interested then he really needs to pursue Rachel here and show it and I just haven't seen that yet. This episode made me lean towards Bryan being the F1 and if that's the case then I can see why it ended up that way so far. JMO.

Which is why I will see how it plays out for sure! Just giving early predictions that I think Peter will 'get there' eventually. Bryan is like a Brooks-Arie-Jordan morph for me.

And while I agree Peter would make a great Bachelor, I think Rachel's odds at a success aren't as high with Bryan. JMO.

The number one reason I think that Bryan is final 2 is because they have really taken the time to show us any significant conversations between the two of them. Right now at this point in the show really things we know about him are that he's Colombian and that he likes to stick his tongue down Rachel's throat. That is usually a final 2 hot physical edit jmo

I agree with you from what we've seen but what "kills" me is that Peter KNOWS this. He has said this! That the men need to pursue her and he did just that in ep 1. What the he!!, Peter? wake up, bud!

@stuckinsc I will go out and a limb and say right at this episode Peter is trying his darnest not to get caught up in his head, due to his past and is trying to be calm in his thoughts like he said to Rachel after his therapy. He is not jumping the gun IMHO

I kinda hope you're right and Peter is in line for next lead
