GetUpGirl wrote:@GuardianAngel Other than the (IMO shady) supplements he once advertised, is it normal for a chiropractor or doctor to advertise their services through social media? I also don't think he actually has a business. He works at a office of Dr. Brian Elias. Lastly IMO, his choice to stop advertising those supplements is not coincidental. He stopped advertising the week before final casting. I think he knows that MLM has a negative connotation for many people. JMOAA

You're entitled to your opinion, even though I don't get it. So are you saying, he's not considered self employed, he works for someone else, which means he would be paid by the hour, or salary, and could care less if the company gets more clients? How do you know he's not a partner in that business? What's wrong with doctor's and Chiropractors advertising their business on SM? Do they sit and wait for the phone to ring in hopes of getting clients? How do you know he stopped advertising the teas because it has a negative connotation for many people? Which many people? Maybe he stopped because he doesn't need to promote it, or it took up too much time or the company put goals on the sales people to sell so much per month and he couldn't be bothered? I respect opinions however I get confused when opinions are posted with no information to back up the JMO's.

For the record, I don't want him to be the F1. I'd much rather he be the bachelor IMHO.

You said that "He still has a business". That implies ownership, no? He doesn't own his own The Accident and Injury team franchise, nor does he own the location he works at. That's not disrespecting him or anything. And sure hypothetically he could be a partner, but I don't see anything to support that. He is listed as a "treating doctor" at one location. You also asked why he would turn off tagging if he wanted to promote his business. Which is why I first responded by saying he doesn't own his own business and also asked if it is common practice for doctors to be promoting their business on IG anyway. It was a question. I never said there was anything wrong with promoting a legitimate practice, nor did I ever imply that. I just haven't really seen that done on IG outside of plastic surgeons. That's just my experience.

Also, I gave my opinion on why he stopped advertising TLC. I am just speculating and sharing my opinion. The entire goal of MLM is to promote it and share it with others. You can't make money without promoting it because people have to use your affiliate link to buy goods for you to make money. Bryan stopped but the link is still active. I'm speculating that he stopped because MLM does have a negative connotation. People routinely conflate them with pyramid schemes.

All jmoaa

Now it's, "so yeah that nice, perfect guy...uh huh". And for the record, before anyone decides to tag me (please don't. Just quote me) I'm not saying I believe everything RS is saying. I just think it's funny. At this point, by the time the season ends, every Peter and Peter/Rachel fan will hate his guts (well more so than some already do).

Most out there don't know any of these people on a personal level so as a viewer you are bound to judge people based on how they present themselves , be it on the show or be it on other public platforms. Peter IMHO would get even more flack from the general public if RS does dig up some dirt on him because the expectations so far from him are a lot higher. JMO.

GuardianAngel wrote:@mysthelma thanks, and it also shows he's an associate distributor, unless he left and hasn't updated his Linkedin. With all his education, I find it hard to believe he's going to promote a product that makes a few bucks, that people feel is detrimental to their health or is causing controversy.

Not saying that Peter is a bad guy, but it just goes to show that you shouldn't base a person's true character on their tv edit! I still like Peter, but I am curious as to what RS is referring to...probably his possible "bachelor" aspirations. But why does RS leave us guessing for Peter but never hesitates to tarnish Nick's character? He is such an a**. JMO
