That quote actually really only means one thing (perception vs. reality) but we don't know how she is applying it.

It could be

1- don't judge Bryan based on the limited view we have of him thus far........OR

2- don't believe everything that we hear/see/read. Again, reality vs. perception.


I do find the timing of this quote interesting.

VERY interesting timing. I can't wait to see who she chooses. She seems so happy, so if it's Bryan, I'll be happy too!

Yes that's how I read it too. It could totally go both ways! I mean the show is even more interesting now! Who will step out of the limo first, who is really the F1 aaaaaaaahhhhh. I kind of like it. Not knowing for sure, even tho I do have my preference

Why post that now that there is a new spoiler? Who are these sources anyway? I remember the Des season, everyone had sources. Where were all those sources ?

Yes, why did she post this now. It does lean more towards the new spoiler being wrong IMO. Otherwise she could have posted that earlier

@adf23 the timing is interesting. She is receiving a lot of backlash about the spoiler so she either wants to tell people not to judge Bryan by what they've seen so far OR that they should wait to see what happenes instead of believing the spoilers

I noticed that she posted pictures about her group dates, without including any of her suitors! She did not post anything about her 1-1 date with Peter. Peter did post a picture of the two of them. So maybe she did not post a picture of her and Peter because she did not want to give it away.

Can't wait to see what she is going to post for this week show promo + what she and Bryan are going to post on week 5 !

Hmmm..... so this quote is no accident IMO.... basically I'm taking it to say our perceptions have been coloured by the previous spoiler... and now we are seeing what is meant to be.... geez my head is all over the place today on this one!!

I am LIVING for this messiness  IMO either the initial 'Peter is F1' info was a foiler but RS managed to get the correct info, or this new 'Bryan is F1' info is the foiler because they finally have a season where the lead was torn between two people and they want to play it up as much as possible, since Kaitlyn ruined their last chance at a legit foiler (no way anyone would've bought that JoJo or Nick picked Robby and Raven IMO). 

Right now I'm leaning towards the Bryan info being the foiler because they had to have known the sheer circus it would create - this is how I'm picturing Mike Fleiss as he watches Twitter devolve into madness

Either way, I think we'll be getting a lot of conflicting clues/info over the next two months and the finale will actually have some suspense for once  We're basically unspoiled! 

Also, Rach is 32. She's a lawyer. I firmly believe that she's smart enough to see past the physical and not make her decision based off of lust. Especially since she said she used her head more towards the end of the process. Whoever she chooses, I'm gonna fan for them because I trust her judgement and I love seeing her gush about how much her fiance loves her. JMO.

Sorry Rach, but my perception of Bryan began with his Ellen appearance and I've seen very little to make me change my mind. She may dig him, but he's just too smooth for my taste. IMO There are may ways to interpret the tweet. I don't know. RS is definitely no longer a reliable source.

@pvpr great post except I disagree about the last part: imo it's hilarious watching a 32 yo old extremely well educated woman make a ridiculous choice. IMO of course. I'll fan for them for as long as it lasts if this latest spoiler is right though, I totally get the appeal!

Wow. If it's true that she picked Bryan, I feel sorry for her. Not in a spiteful way, either. She deserves so much better than a guy who didn't think twice about disrespecting her on national tv, IMO. Has there ever been a similar comment to sloppy seconds made by a F1/2 toward a Bachelorette in a previous season? I can't think of one. How sad that would be if she got engaged to someone like him. All my opinions.
