I think they're both totally smarmy and rachel loves it

I think you got it. I have to admit that I am surprised at how physical she is. I wasn't expecting that. I thought she would be more reserved based on how she was with Nick and considering her job and her father's position.

I thought the dude was totally full of himself and in love with himself and this is only adding to that confirmation for me. It's like "look at me look at me"... very attention seeking and desperate IMO. Then again, this is the dude who wanted to be famous and be the Bachelor since he was in HS and not only got nominated but applied himself (his own words - BOTH times his own words) and even the song he had playing in his first IG story after filming was about becoming famous and "dreaming about being a big star".  If this dude is F1, I'd hope he is a heck of a lot better at showing his love for Rach than he is at showing his love for himself (IMO) #smh

Of all the pics to choose from Peter chooses this one. Why not post a pic of the group date. This is one of the reason's why I think he is very much into himself and I think IMHO it will get worse. Maybe he is coming out of his shell due to his previous health issues and is more confident with himself IDK. I don't think a F1 would post pics like this IMHO.

I'd like to know what other's think why he would post a pic like this in reference to the show last night?

I noticed these hashtags Peter used with his above picture.  (hashtag):I need an icepack for my pride  (hashtag):Oslo

I believe the icepack for his pride could be referencing his reaction to Will getting the group rose instead of him, especially since he and Rachel had been gone for nearly 3 hours, much of that time making out in a hot tub.  The other guys on the group date with him even pointed it out that he and Rachel had been gone a very long time.  Then Peter said something to the effect that he was shocked that he didn't get the group rose and maybe he "didn't do enough".  This made him want to rethink whether or not he wanted to allow himself to fall in love with Rachel.

Can someone tell me exactly what Peter said in that ITM?  He said something about Rachel that I could not understand, even when rewinding and listening to it again.  It sounded like he said "What is up with Rachel".

The irony is I remember Nick going on about this explosive chemistry he had with Rachel and in one ITM even saying it was probably the most passionate and yet for that whole season, all the way up to her being Final 3, I never saw anything close to the aggressive passion she's shown with some of the guys on her season. That has made me conclude it was one of a few things, the editing didn't show that heat between her and Nick for whatever reason or Nick was actually never that into Rachel despite what he said in his ITM's for dramatic purposes. In fact, funny enough, I remember thinking last season that Nick, like Peter, clearly liked Rachel as a person and she probably checked off a lot of his perfect woman list but in terms of what the heart wanted, he didn't feel that way for her. That said, I feel like I bought Nick more into Rachel than Peter at this point.

@lleyki Well, Nick was on his 4th round with the franchise. I think he had learned a thing or two by that point!

Ali had fun on her own season, throwing out misinformation. She usually blogs about the F1 in a  positive way and pretends she doesn't know the spoiler. That surprises me she is referring to Bryan as TB material.   I didn't read the whole thing, just the part that was quoted.

Des IMO is going to say what she feels, her honest opinion, regardless of spoilers, throwing out misinformation or any other reason other than the fact Bryan reminds her of Chris as opposed to Ali's agenda. There were a few times Bryan reminded me of Roberto on Ali's season. The bus ride, the focus on me, the part about not caring about the drama, all Roberto and Chris F1's that you could say were saying all the right things, but IMO they meant it.



Warning so much hottness in this vid. Roberto was always focused just on Ali.

This video of Ali and Roberto brought back so many memories.

But watching back, I can see now that even though they had passion and Roberto is a total catch and easy to fall for, they were not that great of a match.
Physically, Ali seems to be more attracted by Franck type (even her husband look similar) and personnality wise also you can see he is a bit more reserved than Ali. And we saw that after the show when Ali was all over as SM and he was not. She is a sharer and he is so private with his life.

Anyway back on this season. I'm yet to see the a major incompatibility with Rach and Bryan.
I think even though they remind me of Ali and Roberto, the difference here is that they represent what they were looking for for each other, on top of having insane chemistry.
I'm hopeful for them

I don't see it that way. Peter is taking the process slowly and with thought (which I realize doesn't always work for this show).
Call me an old fuddy duddy, but I just don't buy Bryan's "fairytale" /love proclamations when he barely knows her. Just doesn't seem genuine. Especially for a 37 year old.

It's photos like this that make me feel the way I do, but to each their own.

Well I may be an old fuddy duddy too then!

If you look at the series of photos the producer posted on her instgram, they all seem like candid shots. I actually believe the photographer caught a moment. I don't think it was a staged fashion shoot. He reposted it because perhaps it invokes a memory for him and he gave a great shout out to Will. IMO
