Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - General Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* - #3

GuardianAngel wrote:Sleuthing usually wins. It was obvious to me and others that Peter's SM games told a story. Liking negative posts about Bryan, deleting posts that were negative towards himself, even though the majority of posters would die to have his children, said it all to me, spoiler or no spoiler.

Meanwhile, we have, thanks to the person who shared it with @AllaboutLove :

Olga Abasolo Olga's Official Instagram Feel free to spew all the hate you want on MY page @thebryanabasolo and let's leave family out of it. Respect and thank u! Bryanesmivida.com
https://www.instagram.com/bryansmami/

That IG bio shows me a man who is secure and confident in himself and can handle any hate thrown his way (heck will even welcome it)...all that matters to him is standing up for his loved ones. It's why no doubt to me, Rach chose the right man for her 

Wait, I'm confused. What's the purpose of that IG account? Did Bryan start it just to direct anyone googling his mom to his own account or is his mom actually going to start posting on IG?

Is that a troll page? Cause that's kinda weird IMO.

Unrelated, but I think it's been discussed here but hadn't been confirmed one way or another -- Rachel is still working, remotely, and part-time.

He commented like every of us, and he actually knew Rachel and Bryan, I think it is OK for him to not like certain people in the house. It happens every season.

This. I remember when Nick's plane video came out criticizing Andi and Josh. There was lots of talk of him being a bitter F2 and yet, it turned out he was spot on. Now I'm not saying that is necessarily the case here, but real life hasn't set in yet. That is when my opinion solidifies. So far, they all have their positive and negative points. How they handle the storm to come is what is peaking my interest. The season, I'm so over it already.

Nick actually gave specifics though. All Dean has said is that he's anti-Bryan because of his friendship with Peter, he thinks Rachel is blinded by lust (so no firsthand account, just TV impressions like us all), and that Bryan is 37-y/o from Miami and therefore must be a player. I would have a lot more respect for Dean's opinions if he just said "based on my own interactions with Bryan, I don't like or trust him". IMO.

Nick only gave specifics because he didn't know he was being recorded and he was talking to a close family member/friend. Maybe Dean has elaborated behind closed doors, but is being diplomatic when interviewing. I saw nothing wrong with the interview either. IMO.

it makes no sense as to why she was allowed to announce her enagement if bryan is the winner. It takes all the mystery of will he propose or not out of it.

No, it does not take out all of the mystery, IMO.  The general viewing audience isn't as aware of as much as we are, but regardless, we don't know how it'll go with her parents and family.  Nor do we know if her letting any of the other guys go and him being concerned about her feelings towards him, etc. will present more obstacles for them to overcome.  There will be an obstacle no matter how big, small, producer enhanced or not.  And IMO meeting his family and getting Mom's approval, was only a small bump in whats to come, at least storyboard/edit wise, IMO.

IMO saying she was engaged was to get people invested at the start of the season regardless of who the F1 was.

JMO

did anyone notice how shook peter got when it was down to him and dean? Why would he react that way if he didn't have feelings for rachel?

@Ladybug82 or maybe they wanted rachel to show off her happiness because of the lack of enthusiasm from nick and vanessa?

@rachelisqueen he needs to get to that F3 spot which is usually TB spot. Or maybe he felt bad for Dean because he knew Dean was leaving?

Also, TPTB are famous for asking questions, and planting seeds of doubt. For example, how would you feel if you don't express your feelings that she may cut you? Rachel's not sure how she feels about you, anything can happen at the next RC.
