BRYAN'S 1-ON-1
Rachel takes Bryan out and about in Oslo, followed by a casual rappel off the Holmenkollbakken ski jump. It's no secret I think these two are super cute. I enjoy their easy banter (I really don't get the Bryan-haters) and I loved this funny exchange...

Going into the evening portion, there's a long voiceover of Rachel going on about how disconcertingly perfect Bryan is. When we finally see her speaking, it turns out we've found one of the long lost ITMs from last week's Group Date!

I touched on this over at Flare, but there's something in Bryan's effusiveness that reminds me of Andy when I first met him. A lot of you have told me you think he speaks in clichés and just tells her what she wants to hear, but based on my experience with a somewhat "older" man... well, I believe him. Trust me, if he were a decade younger I might not feel the same way. But his candor about having dragged his feet in past relationships was reminiscent of what Andy told me when we first met. It wasn't necessarily what I wanted to hear—many could take it as a red flag, actually—but that honesty, no matter how unflattering, makes his conviction all more the convincing. I particularly liked how he emphasized never wanting her to be unsure of where he stands. He's not trying to protect himself or have the upper hand or play games—this, too, reminds me of when I started dating Andy—and just feels mature. Also notice her adorable "okay" ...

Double negative!

Gah, I just love the way they look at each other. They are both in their thirties and Bryan is even pushing 40 let's be real, but when they are together, they look like 2 teenagers in love. Just beaming, both of their faces. The playful way they interact with each other makes me believe they really can be best friends.

Thanks @everglow for all the gifs and thank you for taking our requests. <3

Putting my request in for the face nuzzling as well, . People complain that Bryan attacks Rachel's face all the time, but hello, it's a 2 way street because when he doesn't do that and is actually trying to talk, she tries to attack his face.

This is random, but I loved how sassy Bryan got after Peter got that GDR. LOL. He was not impressed!

I know right. His reaction showed how much into a Rachel he is, and imo he is there to get the girl period. He is not after the lead role.

IA about their interaction. Bryan seems to be how Rachel describes him - fully into her.

One thing I'm still sceptical about at this point is the "best friend". I believe they are falling for each other, but saying that he is her best friend after one date is a big leap of faith imo.

What are other people seeing? Is there an example of a moment where there was hint of "best friends", and not just the vulnerability of it being too good to be true

He said "I can see her being my best friend for a lifetime".
Don't know what is wrong with that.
Sometimes you met people and you just click and you know that person can be your friend instantly.
So yeah I believe him :D

Right??? So hot I love how happy and giddy they are around each other too! Especially rachel! She's soo joyous with him, it's so adorable.

Also, I agree, Bryan isn't doing anything to rachel that she doesn't want done to herself she's encouraging all of the physicality, all the words he says and all his behavior. She wants it!!

Oops I wanted to add these couple too:

Their crinkly-eyed, face-splitting grins around each other are delightful.

Nooo stop it... I promised myself not to ever get invested again.. too late now these two just radiate happiness together and I seriously believe Rachel with everything she's said about him post show.

[djogbenyuie]

@Diana me toooooo I didn't want to get invested ever again.
But these two are so enjoyable to watch. Even if he is F2, which I don't think, I will be fine this time around.
Maybe because I just love Rachel and want her to ne happy.

[Alanna]

I'm not worried if he's f1 or f2 because I think the clues have convinced me personally enough but I'm worried getting invested and then it quickly doesn't pan out irl. So I'm trying not to get too greedy here considering so many of my favs are still together
