I followed a few links and can I just say that I am actually a bit flabbergasted. These two are shilling their little hearts out right from the get go. They certainly wasted absolutely no time and clearly have set all this up while they were in hiding. Not only did Bryan set up his cr*ptastic Dr. Abs merchandise and website and roll it out hours after the final, today they are handing out roses at Lord & Taylor to promote some price matching program and Rachel is shilling dog toys for Target on her Instagram.

I really don't begrudge people making money off of their stint on the show, I really don't. I have come to expect it, but they are professionals with six figure salaries and I just did not expect this aggressive level of shilling basically from the end of the finale. Any bit of romance I felt about these two is pretty much shot. It seems like a whole new level of greed IMO. Tacky.

I hate all the shilling of all the couples, but I find it a huge double standard that because Rachel and Bryan have educations and careers they have less right to shill. Heck, maybe they have student loans to pay off. It the dumb and talentless, like Duh make $30k a month why should Rachel and Bryan. If people are stupid enough to help these people influence, then economic or education status should not make a difference.

And I actually like the cheesiness of the Dr. Abs crap. It is so ridiculous it is almost funny to me. It is like all the crap I used to laugh at in Spencer stores.

I wouldn't buy any of the stuff these people are shilling, but Imo the Dr Abs stuff is personable, unique, and relatable to the couple. So corny, Cheesy that it's funny. I bet they're getting big money offers left and right, it'd be stupid to not take the advantage of it while it's so easy. And I'd also like to add, that the success both Rachel and Bryan have had in their professional careers, no doubt hasn't just been handed to them. It's taken long years studying, working hard, and dedicating time, effort, money etc in them. Why should they deny themselves the opportunity for easy shilling money just because the years of hard work in their careers has paid off? Is shilling only allowed for the no talent, no career, no education people from the Bach nation? Jmo

I never said that they shouldn't shill, I am just saying that IMO I was surprised at just how QUICKLY they got down to business. Since they are two established, very well paid professionals in their thirties, I simply thought they would wait more than a hot minute before they started. It wasn't that they did it, it was just how quickly it was done that I found tacky.
