Carine wrote:The 1on1 dates actually make it pretty clear who Rachel is really into when you compare how she is with Peter, Dean and Bryan and how she is with Anthony and Jack there is quite a difference..

The outfit she wears on the date with Jack is so cute. I'm salty it was wasted on him

That's probably the most I've enjoyed Bryan on the show. Very cool date for them.

Right does seem like such a cool fun date..

It's an observation, IMHO nothing more. Comparing to other F1's who were self employed Chris /Des comes to mind.

There are many past F1's that come to mind that waited until the show came to conclusion.

I'm sorry, but I just can't see why there would be no SHVs when others who also had real grown up, professional jobs managed to fit them in. IMO, there have indeed been SHVs because I don't believe that the lead and F1, especially a lead that didn't seem fond of long distance relationships, would only want to FaceTime, text and talk on the phone without meeting up for over a month or more. Especially since it would be on ABC's dime, not theirs.

Even past couples that had broken up or were shams managed to work in SHV just for the sake up keeping up appearances, so I really don't understand the concept behind a no SHV. So if a no SHV is true, I have to wonder why and what is really going on. Andy Baldwin who was out in Hawaii had SHV for Pete's sake.

I would be SOOOO petrified to be lowered off into space like that, NO WAY!!! She was laughing! Go girl! Such a cool date, and Bryan is a sweetie, cutie pie! They are very sweet together!

Remember Des had a rappelling date with Kasey, and Juan Pablo had this type date with Chelsie.

Looking forward to Rachel's and Bryan's date. In that video, he seemed like a calming presence for her. IMO

They did not do any promotion. The most recent 2 f1s were in the same line of business.

I think it makes sense for an F1 to wait before promoting since after the revelation, he will be even more in the spolight. Whereas any other contestant will need to use the spotlight during the airing.

Having said that, every situation I different.

That date looks so cool, but scary. Bryan seems like a really calming presence, I like him a lot.

I agree, this is what usually happens. After the FRC, both the lead and F1 will have an exponential increase in followers (because most casual viewers only tune in for the premiere or the finale). Hence, that is when F1 has the most impact for publicity, including magazine cover and TV appearances. Other contestants have to strike while the iron is hot when the show is airing. That is also why many contestants want to be invited to BIP to increase/ prolong their airtime and publicity for their businesses/ Instagram shilling. JMO.

Does anyone remember when Chris S/Des were spotted during a SHV? As in, how far into the season was it?

Iirc it was way later in the airing of the season.

He posted a picture of himself at a pool ( jumping in ? ).

Slightly random lool but I think Rachel has a soft spot for Dean and they probably became close, I noticed she likes quite a few of his posts and a few about him.
