So Eric F1?

JMO

The fact that Rachel stated in an earlier interview (can't remember which one) that her relationship with her F1 developed late in the process rules out both Bryan and Peter, imo.

I would be interested in exactly what she said. I haven't heard it started late in the process.

Here a go, around the 30 second mark

The term late bloomer could mean a number of things. Rachel could be taking about her F1 and his feelings towards her developing late, or she could be talking about her feelings towards her F1, or it could mean something else. I don't think based off of that video that it's conclusive what she means. IMO

Or it could mean a later 1:1 date or she's just bsing.

Or it's going to be the Most Dramatic Season ever! For Real This Time !

I think Bryan is a late bloomer because Rachel is concerned about him being too slick/too perfect. She's attracted to him but not sure if he's being real/authentic.

As she says in the video she goes back and forth trying to decide if Bryan really is that person she see's when they are together.  

If Bryan is F1 will it last long term? I'm not so sure. He seems like the type of guy that has dated a lot. Is he truly ready for a lifelong commitment?  JMO

if she's true with the late bloomer, i'd add it to the long list of why i don't think peter is f1. he had the first date of the season and she liked him a lot from that point going forward. all jmo

No way Bryan is a late bloomer. He came out swinging before he even got out of the limo. " I am not here to waste your time"etc.  If there is any late bloomer this season, it is the guy that hasn't talked all season but still made it to F6(the one that wore the custom). That is a late bloomer.  Rachel and the rumored F4 do not fit in this category, unless, by late bloomer, she meant the suitor that did not verbalize his feelings on time, then, that, again IMO will be any of the F4 minus Bryan because Bryan was already all in night 1 and let her know as well, JMO.

@lexforlife I agree unless she is talking about her own feelings I do not consider him a large bloomer, two kisses, FIR by night one, "I missed you" on ep 2,  there is no questions if he is all in or not and if speculation is correct in his first 1on1 he will be telling her he is falling her.
I think she just said "late bloomer" because of the interviewer because I don't think in any other interview she said that but she did say she was going back and forth in quite a few interviews.

The BL I see is a woman who is very scared to trust Bryan. But on the other hand she really really want to trust him. So I do not see her admitting she is in love with him quickly. Bryan will have to work hard to convinced her IMO

And this is what she meant by "you won't (know)" because she kept doubting and this will be on each episode until fantasy date until we will have her PI right before the F2 elimination...."she could not live without him in her life". IMO

... which is the same old same old speech each bachelorette have each season. IMO

so IMO it is not Bryan who is a late bloomer but Rachel who is one.

ALL is JMO.

At 37 years of age, he should be thinking of a lifelong commitment. The big 4-0 will soon be knocking on his door. I think he is ready for marriage. He is established in his career. He has dated several women, but none of them worked out long-term. I bet he will want kids right away too. Jmho.
