Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #8

@gramercypark10 from what I recollect, they do have access to both television and internet. Many of them have stated how they spent joys during the SHV binging on shows since they have no access to the outside world.

We don't know for sure. She can like those tweets even when she's having a SHV.

I thought they didn't have internet access or is that the international shv I was thinking of. But pretty sure Ben H and Lauren said they had literally nothing to do, no internet, including no tv and said there's only so many times you can have sex. Wonder why they broke up?

I think that was a really odd one, I do remember talking about that one visit. The house wasn't furnished as they usually are. I think that was more a one off. Usually they have either cell service or wifi and tv and furniture.

I will watch next week as well but still think it's possible it's a SHV weekend.

And I am really hoping Millsy typed the wong date. Two weeks off is crazy!

A number of you have expressed anger that Bryan said, "He got my sloppy seconds" when Will seconded Bryan's comment that Rachel's a great kisser. It amazed me how offended people were by this. Okay, so it wasn't in the greatest of taste, but he was obviously just trying to be funny. I saw it as clearly meant to diss Will, not Rachel, as it's just a stupidly-worded expression to say he got there first. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but to me this is not the battle to get up in feminist arms about and is certainly no reason to suddenly despise Bryan, who has otherwise done and said nothing offensive.

Sharleen's Recap

Sharleen defended Bryan in her Recap. I always love to read her recaps. They are always very well put together and objective imo. She also had really good thoughts about the Eric drama.

Ok, maybe they joked Lauren and Ben in a very remote location so they would talk

Yeah in between all the sex.


Since the age of SM I have had a good chuckle about the lack of SM activity of these Bach couples during SHVs. I keep picturing them going at it like rabbits and then literally taking a break to like something on FB simultaneously. Too funny.

Nah! Nick and Vanessa were making pasta during SHV and Nick was sharing that on IG stories. In one pic, her sock-clad feet were visible.

Nick doesn't count, . He is so sm savvy that he can share without sharing if that makes sense.  These set of sm novice this time around will not be able be as discreet as Nick and still share.

Jojo and Jordan said they watched a lot of netflix so I'm pretty sure they have the internet.

@umngirl Thanks.

She may want to talk to Julia Cunningham from Milsys podcast, she was harsh. And milsy agreed. Basically he may have a tendency to speak before he thinks imo

@hae1001 I understand what Sharleen is saying, but IMO, the intent doesn't matter. From my perspective, for Bryan, insulting Rachel was acceptable collateral damage as long as it let him prop himself up. Maybe he apologized in an off camera moment, IDK. In the long run, I'm guessing it didn't impact her that much, but for me, I would've sent him home the next ceremony. I listened to the AfterBuzz podcast and they spoke about how a lot of girls worry that that's how men talk about them behind their backs. Bryan did that to her face.

All just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure Sharleen doesn't give a crap about anyone else when she blogs. It's her opinion.

IMO Sharleen's unbiased in the sense of she likes who she likes regardless of popular opinion, which is why I enjoy reading her recaps even when I disagree. But she definitely picks her faves every season and will defend them no matter what they do/say. JMO.
