Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - **Sleuthing Spoilers** - #5

@dartbachfan27 I meant if he doesnt win Rachel's heart I don't see him doing the Bachelor to "waste his time" doing Hollywood stuff. I do realize he wants to move eventually, but for a legitimate opportunity in business or love, not hypothetical or temporary situations.

@Marcy03 No one knows his religion. One thing I admire about Peter is that he is self aware and trust his gut to do what is best for himself and leave a place that he thought was not good for him, went to therapy to see what is to be fix in his life, to find a future wife. I love how he does not seem to be aware he is hot

IA nothing wrong at all with modelling. He is certainly good at that. I'm just saying just because he had issues before it doesn't mean he can't further that modelling career again.

Maybe if he is not the F1 and is asked to do the Bachelor, why can't he do it because he wants to give it as shot and meet his HEA. No one IMO accepts the lead to waste their time. IMO They all do it for one reason or another in hopes of benefiting themselves. Whether it be fame, further their career, meet that special someone.

@Tilthefinalrose I mean, it depends on how you look at it. Based on successes of past leads/F1/F2 who have used their platform on the franchise to springboard to other opportunities...Andi, Kaitlyn, Shawn B, Jojo, Jordan, Becca, JADE, Tanner, SEAN L, CATHERINE, etc., he has the potential to earn a lot more income than he currently is. Shawn B. does something similar to what Peter's doing atm and Peter might be making those calculations in his head. I wouldn't necessarily call it a waste of time in terms of the future business opportunities it could lead to...and tbh with his popularity, he might have even more potential than many of those mentioned. If you play it smart, you can make a sustainable business out of it.

The Bachelor/Bachelorette rarely attracted people who are looking for love. Many people agree that contestants want their 15 min of fame. For example, Corrine wasn't seeking love.
The Bachelor is essentially a game show. I think thats why they never cast high quality individuals

@dartbachfan27 Like aside from the manipulations, people only there for tv time and not for him, Producer influence, inorganic nature of it all, I really can't think of reasons not to do it. Being away from his business again for three months would not hurt him/his business but would only help (like it is doing right now...WORTH seems to have new clients all of a sudden), he will have other business opportunities from the show to tap into, could get back into modeling on the side should he choose, paid vacation traveling the country meeting beautiful women, fame, fortune, might potentially meet his love, all of that.

I love Peter and I personally do not want him to do it because I think he's better than the show. Nonetheless, there is a strong case that could be made as to why one should do it. And tbh most people would if they could.

Oh I'm on board with the whole modeling thing...and I selfishly hope he doesn't stop LOL. I just don't understand the argument of him seeking fame and pretending to be in love for the sake of being the Bach. IMO It's obvious he's making a concerted effort to separate himself from his peers, as well as informing us sleuthers who he is aside from the show. Per sleuthing, his SM posts pre and post show are consistent and rooted in framily (friends + family) and I just don't get that vibe from him that he'd be in it for a life he could've easily gone back to without the franchise.

JMO

If Peter becomes the Bachelor, he needs to be really outgoing. *IMO* I rarely heard the man speak.

He's kind of awkward and closed up. *IMO*

I'm cool with these people modeling if it was something they did before (Courtney, Drew) and not one of those late bloomers who suddenly think they have a future as a model.

Sean Lowe seems more outgoing than him. **JMO**

I actually think the smart move would be to not do The Bachelor or BIP. One doesn't know at this point as to how he would come across once all the episodes have aired but if he ends up coming across just as he has in the episodes that have already aired , I still would say the smart move would be to say no to those gigs. As for the popularity factor , I feel he already has quite a bit of a following. And maybe this is me generalizing but I feel a lot of those folks relate to his laid back , reserved , not trying too hard attitude. His appeal lies in a lot of those traits where as there would be some whose appeal lies in the trait that they are bad boys or have that kinda vibe to them. It's easier I feel to do a show like The Bachelor or BIP when you have the player vibe as people anyways don't have much expectation out of you. So the bar is already set quite low. In Peter's case , I feel the bar is set quite high so he should think hard if accepting something like that would be good for him in the long run or not. I personally think he will do just fine even without those gigs so I hope he doesn't take them. JMO.

Totally, as someone who's very similar to Peter personality-wise, I really can't picture him as The Bachelor with his personality. It takes us a while to warm up to people and the setting would just cause a whole lot of anxiety and discomfort tbh. It's much easier to go along with it if you're dating the lead, who is very warm, charismatic and open but to be the lead yourself? Yike!
