Re: Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - FAN FORUM SPOILED F1 -**A** (Peter)- *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion #2

[Guest]

In my opinion Bryan is her equal in personality. He's just as fiery and strong willed as her. He loves kids as shown through his ig and bio, he said he's looking for something serious, he has family of afro latino roots, he loves family, hes an educated professional and in the promos rachels laughing with him and she wants a man who can make her laugh. JMO please delete and tell me if i said something wrong so i can not make the mistake thanks. Peter is great too and both are great guys for her.

Did reality steve spoil the season (the first time) before or after Rachel announced that she was engaged? I feel like that could be a possible hint.

@Jane81 I don't know when it was first announced Rachel was engaged. What I do know is that Reality Steve posted the spoiler on a May 17th.

Sorry if this has been discussed today....
In one of Rachel's interviews (right after 1st episode I believe) didn't she say something along the lines that she needed to explain to her fiance the kissing that happened night one? Or am I imagining this??

He announced it before she was engaged because he said the show would try to pretend she wasn't engaged.

@philphan Its unclear whether she was referring to kissing Bryan or kissing in the preview IMO

@philphan no you are not. IMHO

PETER'S 1-ON-1
This was a pretty great 1-on-1...
My favorite part of this date was Rachel and Peter's conversation about their teeth gaps. It was a sweet thing to bond on, and on a deeper level served as a sort of metaphor for embracing one's natural, unique beauty. I had to make a .GIF of the following; Rachel is never remotely arrogant yet oh-so confident...

In a world full of possible "tweaks" to one's appearance and a culture of those tweaks being increasingly normalized, I am over the moon at this sentiment being expressed on national television. I've personally never understood the general public's interest in shoe-horning Bachelor/ette contestants into being role models. Not because they're not good people, but rather that what the general public gets to know of them is often so altered and limited, what America ultimately sees hardly represents them as a whole. But regardless of whether we see 50% or 95% of Rachel as a person, it's undeniable a) how beautiful and natural Rachel is, b) how completely self-assured and confident she is, and c) what excellent role model material the combination of a) and b) makes her, for any of the younger folks out there watching this.
And fun fact, my dad is a dentist and he would absolutely say what Rachel's dentist said to her, and he has his own character-full gap in his two front teeth.
Regarding Rachel and Peter, I personally like how level the playing field feels between these two. You don't get the feeling like Rachel's in full control over this relationship (as leads often are in every relationship). That said, I couldn't not point out how, on the first Group Date earlier in this episode, Rachel specifically said she likes when the guy makes the move. Yet, she clearly made the move when both hugging AND in her first kiss with Peter...

And not to be redundant with what I've said over at Flare, but my only concern about Peter is how next-level good-looking he is. Not to stereotype, but it's very possible he doesn't need to make the moves with women as they typically just come to him. I'd be happy to be proven wrong on this.

@Maddy Funny if you watch Peter is the one that lock his hand behind Rachel back to lock her in for that kiss she did not initiate that kiss.
