Dr. Bryan Abasolo - Bachelorette 13 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #2

@emusha....I can't source the link right now but the lady that posted the YT video of Bryan's HTD posted on IG that both Rachel and Bryan were awkward. It was actually one of the reasons why I thought maybe Bryan was not the F1. Also from the same YT video, it was Rachel that initiated the kiss and at the time I thought a producer whispered into her ears to lean in for a kiss. Based on that YT video, IMHO I didn't see Bryan as being aggressive and I tend to believe the eye witness first hand account of the person that filmed that video that he may have been awkward....all jmo.

He made it to the finals. It means whatever he was doing/did impressed the lead enough for her to want to see where it goes. A lot of things are in his favor here: his age, his charisma,  sense of humor, confidence etc.  I would fall for him too of I were Rachel. Whatever happens after the show ends is what matters really as far I am concerned, if the show's track record is any indication. For me, I want to be entertained and maybe, catch a glimpse of what in my life experience represents a love story.  To some, that's what her relationship with Bryan is and for others, it is not. I am enjoying watching Rachel who is doing a phenomenal job as the lead btw.

Josh will do anything to stay relevant.

We don't know for sure if they are friends or not. Josh and Bryan could be texting each other right now as we speak. Just because they met for 5 minutes doesn't mean they didn't exchange numbers and kept in touch since then. jmo

Is the bolded a fact or just an assumption? I'm genuinely curious because I'm wondering how some know this unless you know Bryan or people in his life personally.

I'll modify my statement - I typed it fast but it's an assumption based on several combined pieces of factual information: that he went out with the guys from his season recently, he was very comfortable dancing with Rachel at the bar so he has some dancing skills, also being familiar with Miami culture which is where Bryan is from (very heavy on nighlife) and the Colombian/other latino cultures also including salsa/merenge/discotech dancing, at photos on bryan's fb with him out with his boys etc.

His out with the boys he spent most of the time we saw on his phone and in the pic we have with girls the other guys have arms around them and Bryan is distinctly not touching the girls. The rest of it is all a lot of supposition, so okay any of it could be true, false or something in between. JMO.

Famewhore Josh wouldn't mention someone he met once to try to get attention for himself? Seems pretty probable to me. JMO.

Pretty sure josh said in that extra interview that he barely knows him, so I doubt that.

Well if this is true this endears me more to Bryan and I really really hope we see the awkward side the vulnerable side to him...to me that's very compelling. What I find interesting throughout these shows is over a season we start to formulate certain pictures of who a lead/contestant is over time and by gathering little pieces of information. Right now Bryan's info that's out there is soo limited. I still feel like I'm discovering who Rachel is even after 1 whole season and 3 epis of her own season and I think her final pick and preferences will be very illuminating. We shall see more and more of Bryan and have any "pictures" or assumptions confirmed or denied. I state my views on Bryan from the limited info I have seen and the "moves" he has are the most prominent things I have observed about him. I have no doubt he has more sides.

Don't be!! If I ever don't feel like I like Bryan, I'll just remember what a real bad bad boy dbag f1 is like and Bryan suddenly starts to look real good !!

I'm enjoying this discussion, thanks for sharing everyone's thoughts

He was comfortable enough to call him his friend. So anything is possible, imo.

Bryan talking to Rachel about wanting a relationship like his parents have I don't see as a line or a tactic at all. If anything, it actually makes me think that Bryan has been single for so long because he wants what his parents have and which he hadn't found yet. So maybe he's been waiting for "the one" that he can have a relationship/connection like his parents have and maybe he's finally found" the one" in Rachel. That he shared that with Rachel and that Rachel even brought it up in her blog (and it wasn't seen) tells me that post-filming that conversation is something that is significant and matters, IMO, especially since Rachel likely met Bryan's parents on his HTD.

I think he looked awkward during that YT video because his moves were awful.
Rachel did seem happy to wrap her arms around him though.

I'm not going to lump Bryan into a category of bar hopping and being involved with many ladies (still waiting for them to come out of the woodwork) just because he is 37 yrs old and was recently at a bar with other contestants. I pay zero attention to Josh Murray's tweet, because IMO that's his way of name dropping to show everyone he's still alive.

Also, just because Miami or any other city has nightlife, how does this make it something that is negative? My culture also enjoys nightlife, dancing in the streets and being with family and friends. This is family time, all the relatives are together enjoying the weekend, filled with food and good times. If it wasn't for those days, I wouldn't know how to dance like I do.

Bryan's IG which wasn't cleaned up that we know of is IMO very telling. It's all family friends and good times.

If Rachel is apparantly smart confident and knows what she wants, considering the type of job she has, I would think she could pick out fake a mile away. She enjoys her time with Bryan from what I see and doesn't have any issues ATM with him, what so ever.

CH says he certainly caught her eye out of the limo along with a few other compliments.

“He definitely catches Rachel’s eye immediately out of the limo. He is good-looking, eloquent, professional, which are all attributes Rachel is immediately drawn to, so you will see a lot of Bryan.
