Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #9

Baddy definition:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bad%20boy

A young man who has many characteristics of a naughty boy: he's independent and willful; he does what he wants when he wants; he doesn't follow trends, they follow him; he often looks scruffy, but hip; he's not looking for trouble, but there's a sense of danger about him. For these reasons and more, he's irresistible to women. He's a heartbreaker with five o'clock shadow.

No to all these IMO.


Imo I don't see it. And Rachel has not. So that's all that matters here.

I don't see Bryan as being smooth, just being himself IMO. Different perspectives. Regardless, so far Rachel seems into him, and he seems into her IMO.

Calling Bryan baddy doesn't have to be some awful negative thing. I call Jordan baddy and I love him. Sometimes it's a term of endearment

Bryan IMO isn't considered a bad guy in the sense that is being used on this forum. Nothing tells me that, nor does he have any history, rumours, or negative info coming out of the woodwork, like the other bad guy had.

If he didn't give it to her, why do you think she doesn't stop blabbing and showing it off in the media that it's a reminder ring? For her to pull a ring out of her jewellry box and say ok this is going to remind me, doesn't sound reasonable to me. What do you think?

I don't see one of the guys giving Rachel a ring that looks like like a wedding ring so maybe it's something her dresser gave her?

I may not trust Bryan but I don't have any reason to think he's a bad guy.

IDK. I don't think that describes the Bryan I see.

Yeah, when I refer to Jordan as BBJ or Baddy, I don't mean it negatively.  And the same goes for when I refer to Bryan as BBB or Baddy 2.0.

But I know some say it and mean it in a negative manner.

ETA:  I guess I untilmately don't see them as true baddies so the term, when I use it, is more of endearment not serious or an accusation.

When I think of Baddy I think of all the crap and posts we had to clean up and all the accusations of cheating, and discussions of family issues that had to be locked and cleaned up.

So no, Baddy to me is not enduring at all. JMHO.

@GuardianAngel Ditto. Ditto. Ditto.

I agree with your post @Ladybug82, i'm not watching this season but I enjoy reading the thread. I don't care about their reason for joining the show , most often the edit does not reflect the true personality and intention of the person.

I think it's damn weird on all aspects imo. If he's given her an engagement ring, why give her another ring? I think the fact it looks more like a wedding band kind of throws me off I think unless it sentimental on the F1's part. But she could wear it on the other hand if it's sentimental IMO. At this point we probably won't find out until atfr if she even mentions it. She's telling everyone she's engaged so why wear another ring IMO. I'm confused by people's actions on this show tbh.

There was an early people magazine interview which I think may have been undertaken as soon as she finished filming. She doesn't have the ring on there. I need to step out, when I come back I'll post it.
