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

@ReneeM I'm a WOC too, and the only reason I think she may have left it out was because this blog was her thoughts she was having in that moment during filming. She was getting the "southern charm" Lee, yet heard Kenny yelling. And in that moment, she was questioning Kenny. Like she said, she only has two eyes. Next weeks blog, after she eliminates Lee and sees him for who he is, I expect her to talk about her disappointment with Lee and the situation in general. If not, then I'll be disappointed. I'm not even sure she wrote this blog to be quite honest.

One of the most boring blogs by a lead I've ever read, imo. I don't think Rachel wrote it either, imo.

I haven't read her blog, just reading the comments here. As mentioned before the season even started, IMO Rachel is no special snowflake. They will use her and the drama to their advantage at their leisure. From what I can tell, it's working since there are negative comments towards Rachel. She will get flack for giving Lee a rose although normal viewers don't realize it's the trickery of TPTB and for not sticking up for Kenny, if that's in fact what she's doing.

I doubt she has any control over when the blogs are released.

Idk what the reasons were but whoever left it out, whether it was Rachel or production, IMO it's very ugly and not at all a good look to try to gloss over it, & pretend it didn't happen. & her criticism of Kenny ... like girl have you lost your g*ddamn mind? She knows good and damn well how microagression feels and how despite your best efforts sometimes you'll lose your cool because that sort of thing sparks a visceral reaction in black people. Her criticism of Kenny while completely ignoring Lee? Ok sis.

Good post.
This is exactly why I do not think she wrote the blog entry this week and why it was late. You said it perfectly. I simply can't see it.
She seemed, imo upset and angry last night in the episode. I would imagine it was re-awakened during her re-watching the episode. Notice Bryan unfollowed Lee today also? Her twitter responses to things. Then the blog entry was late. I don't know for sure if she did or didn't write it for sure, but I suspect she did not, otherwise I think we would have seen some kind of Rachelism, some kind of sarcastic sly smack done up nicely. The blog seemed very generic. IMO

No mention of Bryan again in this weeks blog

is the blog up? can't seem to find it under her name...

If what comments here are stating is true I'm about a nanometer away from being completely done with this franchise and their messed up shenanigans ...

all jmo

TPTB better not edit out Will's take down of Lee next week. Will schooling Lee on National Television is the only thing that can redeem this storyline. The Lee storyline has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I was debating tuning out for the rest of the season.

Shoutout to Dean for calling out the producers.   They knew exactly what they were doing when they cast Lee IMO. IMO There is nothing amusing about seeing microaggressions against black men and then having the lead gloss over it in the blog whether by choice or being told to. This show has officially hit a new low IMO.  

All JMO

Nothing about Bryan she said this about Peter ""It was sweet of guys like Peter to ignore that fighting and focus on me but I had already heard enough"

I absolutely think she wrote this, or most of it IMHO. Sounds a bit like DeAnna, me me me.

She tweeted this.

Yes, I only have two eyes,

Get over it already.

I remember how it was on Nick’s season to have an argument with another person on this journey.

Honestly, I'm going to wait till next week's blog post to fully form an opinion since, like all the other episodes, it pretty much ended with no resolution in terms of the Lee/Kenny situation.

@jjjami Agreed.

Sounds like she's attempting to empathize with the guys by relating it to past experience. IMO Seems reasonable since this blog is supposed to be her personal account. IMO
