I'm seeing this one way. If one would take away the perception of someone or something, it would be very clear to them.

I don't know in what context Rachel is using the quote, will try not to speculate because it could be about anything. However the real meaning has a religious connotation. If I remember correctly, Blake was talking about how man isn't able to see the infinite nature of heaven and hell, or something like that.

Ashley and JP were caught at a hotel in Canada,. It is not impossible. I think another bachelorette and her F1 were caught too. The bachelorettes are messy like that. Rebels.

Well she did just lose her Gr grandmother, so who knows

@julychild That's correct, because his perception was distorted on earth. The only reason I would think she is posting that now is because of the perception out there of one thing, which is not the case, what ever that one thing is. IMHO

But now the fact that she can say to the world that she's engaged would make so much sense if this (Peter is F1 AND Bryan is F1 spoiler) was the original plan haha ! Sorry for the crazy theory, it's just even more fun to watch now!

It's totally her choice. Her moronic and short sighted choice imo, but 100% hers nonetheless. But I do get it too, in this limited time environment, you need to make decisions fast and the guy who's immediately after you is the standout choice imo.

I don't know if it's moronic or short sighted...I guess we will find out post show, just like we did with Andi and Josh. All I know is that it makes me happier if she did in fact pick Bryan. Not only because then Peter is the likely pick for the next Bachelor, but because I'm really not a big fan of what I have seen thus far from Bryan. Add to that that Rachel turned me off of her with her post show squad cr*p and I'll be happier if she goes with him rather than I guy I rather like and find much more attractive. I haven't seen anything too horrible about Bryan thus far other than the slick moves and aggressive makeout...and the fact that he resemble Josh....but that is a personal preference. I was dreading a season of him as the lead and now he can happily suck the life out of Rachel while Peter hopefully graces my screen for a while.

Still hoping for Peter and Rachel, but I've learned my lesson: stop reading spoilers My favorite NEVER wins! I'm becoming too invested

Yikes Idk!!! This could be the foiler now. This season just got so interesting

Agreed, foiled or not this just got fun. It feels a bit like Arie vs. Jef again. Hang on mods, hopefully we are not headed for the great board war of 2017, some of us still have scars from 2012. JMO.

I feel a song coming' on!!!!....

Rachel's ratings have been down a bit. Maybe they felt like after they aired Peter's 1-1, the final outcome would be too obvious. Fan accounts and the media went crazy naming Peter as the front runner. Maybe they don't want people tuning out because the ending is too predictable and then to make up for it by leaking stuff about Bryan being the F1. Steve said he isn't 100% sure (It's important to realize Steve relies on other people and does not directly confirm the information himself). I think that Bryan winning is the foiler.

Because what has this accomplished? It has created significant doubt. Nobody is spoiled anymore. Rusty Snails credibility is shot in my opinion. He has screwed up so much in recent memory, so it's impossible for anyone to truly know anything.

Kudos to TPTB. They've most eliminated the blind trust in RS and now people have to watch the outcome. This is brilliant. I'm excited. As long as I get to see Peter, I'm good. He also seems to have good judgment, so if he has his own season, I think he would make a smart choice then.

Everything stated is JMO

Talk about a 'we were rooting for you' moment. *Tyra gif*

Ratings will go even more down if they start hiding Peter and Rachel's time together and just show Bryan and Rachel's slobbering kisses every episode.

For me, it's a fool me once, fool me twice situation.
Every season, I hope they will do something surprising. Every season, it's predictable.

Bryan v.s Peter is, imo, pretty much the same storyboard as Josh vs. Nick for Andi.

Peter has his own season cut out for him:

How is he single, he's so "perfect"?
He worked with a therapist.
Let's uncover the skeletons in his closet.
Let's push Peter over the edge. Yes, literally push him over a cliff.

Snooze.

Of course I will still watch, analyze and enjoy it all. But each one of us can probably storyboard an entire season at this point.
