I don't know, since he already posted another IG story claiming he's just guessing like everyone else since he wasn't there. Seems like damage control to me.

IA! Alex is on damage control IMO. I think he didn't realize that his top 4 picks would be visible to others when he posted that first IG story.

Oh Alex! I would say this is a big clue for Bryan but I don't want Alex baby to get into trouble so I am going to pretend that it's no big deal. :halo:

All JMO

Not only does Rach say she found her "too good to be true" but right afterwards she says and "my best friend."

F1 = "Too good to be true"
- so far the only two people on this show who have talked about each other being "too good to be true" are Rach and Bryan
- Bryan and Rach both told each other that they think the other is too good to be true on Bryan's 1on1 date in Ep 5 (which, to me is still the predictable F1 date going by recent Bette seasons)

F1 = "Best friend"
- so far the only two people who have talked about "best friend" are Rach and Bryan
- Rach not only talked about best friend in this interview but also stated so on her IG pic when she got back from filming
- Bryan on the show in Ep 5 said he not only can see Rachel as his best friend but his best friend for a lifetime and the official Bette Twitter account specifically tweeted that statement by Bryan

Most interesting to me is that both of these statements that Rach says post-show in the People interview about her F1 are things that relate solely to Ep 5 1on1 date with Bryan.

Maybe...but then why delete it early? Also, he would have had to create an account, made choices, and sent it out to everyone (who would never had known otherwise), just to troll? And would have had to plan to tell them in the IG story earlier in the week that he knew the winner, and assume they saw it? But, I don't think anything is a given - he may not really know who won.

Do we know for sure that is his handle though?

I think I read somewhere it is Alex. I think he also has been known to do meatball kind of stuff like this. I don't think he thought it would have caused the uproar it did so he posted it and then he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and deleted it making things look worse and then imo made things look even worse by commenting on his deletion. Keep the hits rolling Alex.

ITA!  No backtracking now.  

I saw Alex's live IG story and he did say, multiple times, that he knew who won so I'm not buying his claim now that he was just guessing.

He either did an oopsy, ; was trolling or at the time he submitted his picks, he didn't know the outcome. Methinks he was caught with his pants down and underestimated the fans and their thirst for information ;-)

He never said who it was right? I do think he knows. But doesn't help me know who it is as I think Peter probably told him he was F1/F2 all imo. Unless there were other clues in there.

Yeah, it seems like a reveal to me. The only thing...and this is far fetched...is if Alex is trying to deceive his own fantasy league about the winner. It seems like lots of them picked Bryan. But Alex didnt think of what people would think when he posted. It's funny that he is participating when he made it far, maybe he put down the wrong winner so other players wouldn't spoil. I doubt it though....too funny Alex.

Nah, he was tight lipped. Laughed at several attempts by people in the chat trying to trap him, . Some even asked his friend Tino who won but he said he didn't know. All he said was that he knew who the winner was and they were friends. He wouldn't even answer when he was asked who he thought would be better for Rachel.

He seemed very on the ball and aware that everyone was trying to trick him into revealing something and he was being very careful, until he wasn't with the fantasy league ballot.

I don't want to start a scavenger hunt on a red/pink string but while looking through some vids for any signs of a watch (she hasn't worn a watch at all in the ones I looked through) here is something I noticed. A string? It looks odd among her beautiful bangles. What could it be?

Hi guys
Didn't Rachel use the "too good to be true" about Peter too in the past episodes ? Don't know which one though.

Any feet moving yet?

Most likely around the 4th, imho.  JoJo and Jordan were on a SHV on the 4th.  JoJo posted a video last year of watching fireworks.
