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

Tilthefinalrose wrote:It's very confusing to me why people suggest Peter has used his platform for sights on fame and fortune when he already dabbled in that for much of his 20s? He decided to walk away from a seemingly thriving career as a model and personal trainer in LA to come home to Madison and start his Worth Personal Training! IMO it takes a lot of guts to bet on yourself like that, especially knowing it was best for him in the long run (no matter what it meant to his pockets short term). Don't know how much he makes now in comparison to his modeling, but IMO RUNNING a business takes a lot more financial risk and effort to do than having an agent book your gigs and showing up to a modeling shoot to exploit your inherent good looks. :D Oh, to be hot AF .

That being said...if he WERE just using the show, what would be his end game? The Bachelor? He already has/had ties to Hollywood and this show has obviously put him and his business on the map...so I don't personally see him doing another show that will take MONTHS of his time away from his brand he's building. Not when he's gained so much momentum with this seemingly earnest, wholesomen mid-west-with-a-flair-of -Hollywood charm  (IMO). There's a lot more to be seen, but I don't see the point in jeopardizing his brand over a show thats not guaranteed to work in his favor. If I were him, I'd ride the coattails of favorable  public perception without being susceptible to further production manipulation. You already see what's happening to this season's Ette over the spoilers and she was/is adored by many IMO.

All in all I think Peter is a lot like Rachel in that he had nothing to really hide or be ashamed of and went out on a limb to find love because he could! It is a melodramatic, unrealistically magnificent setting to find love, but it happens. I truly believe he saw the lead was Rachel and called his strings and was like MEEEEEEEE! Their chemistry and interests are so similar and I do believe he YouTube binged watched her on Nicks season and fancied her before he got there. Haha.

All JMO.

dartbachfan27 wrote:@Kashathediva Totally agree. I really don't see many downsides to being TB. The pros significantly outweigh the negatives IMO. But it depends on the calculations one is making. I could totally see Peter look at it as an adventure, one in a lifetime opportunity type of thing even though it might not be something he is naturally inclined to do.

I could also totally see his family and friends encouraging him to do it given he's had a positive edit thus far.

He definitely was not the player, bad boy type...in fact quite the opposite. And he's been able to do quite well for himself (both he and Catherine) business-wise post-show so it honestly depends on how you look at it.

But yeah, Sean is deff more outgoing than Peter IMO.
