If it's based on his 17 year old yearbook quote then I guess he accomplished it. Besides promoting his business, he has yet to put the little Bachelor Rose, & follow past alums. It's been strictly job related everything he's done so far, IMO

Yep hes just a guy going back to his normal life!

He's done nothing to warrant me that he's a famechaser,IMo. Ambitious & determined is what I see. I personally don't like any of the Bach alums that leech onto this franchise like it's their only income. Good for him for using this opportunity to expand his business instead of sitting around until the FRC to do something about it. JMO

Someone had mentioned in the previous thread about there not being dates during a MTP portion.
I agree this is usually not done as the MTP portion is usually done in the same location as the LCD and FRC.
However, it has been done before.
In Matt Grants season, he took his final two, Chelsea and Shayne back to London to meet his parent prior to going to Barbados for LCD and FRC. He took Chelseas to the London Eye prior to meeting his parents and Shayne for double decker tour ride prior to meeting his parents.

On the season finale of The Bachelor, Matt brought Shayne Lamas and Chelsea home to London to meet his family. Chelsea was up first and took a trip with Matt in The London Eye, an observation wheel.

At dinner, she was polite and charming and Matt’s mother seemed to like her very much. Matt was worried that Chelsea doesn’t feel as strongly as he did but felt better after seeing her with his family.

Chelsea left London feeling like things could not have gone better and looked forward to seeing him again in Barbados.

Shayne headed to London next to meet Matt’s family. The pair took a double decker bus ride to take a tour of London before going to Matt’s house.

I'm trying to remember what other season it also happened where each of the cast went on a date prior to going to MTP.
Regardless, it has happened in the past and it's very possible during that date a souvenir was purchased to remind the cast of the date.
This is where I am thinking that Ranger's cap comes in. Many guys collect a cap when they visit a new stadium etc and TPTB are known to make this a date situation.

Did they do "dates" for the MTP in Utah during Kaitlyn's season? Although may not be a good comparison because her season was "unique" in some ways due to pre FS activity

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this but I think (and have always thought) that likes mean absolutely nothing when it comes to sleuthing. JMO.

This is very confusing for a new poster like me who is trying to figure out what the purpose of a general discussion, F1 A and F1 B, and contestant sleuthing threads are about. I thought this was about sleuthing for clues. So can I go into all contestants' threads and speculate about their show appearance and IG posting motivations and give my judgement on them or is that something relegated to general discussions. As a new poster I feel there is bias on what is being shutdown in thread discussions depending on who is moderating.

If you have questions, mods are always glad to help out.  
First, let me tackle the clarification of the threads for you:
A general discussion thread would be for general discussion and sleuthing. You can discuss Rachel and/or cast.
There are various breakdown threads following that. There are threads for each contestant, for social media and threads discussing screen caps.
F1A and F1B are fan threads. They are for have a fan based discussion and were requested by the members for their enjoyment. There are different rules for fan threads than for regular discussion threads.  They are labeled 1A and 1B vs their names to keep those that don't want to be spoiled unspoiled. I am sure most entering those threads will have no difficulty finding out who that thread is discussing. If not, again please contact a mod.
These are all laid out quite clearly in our site rules
We encourage all new members to read site rules.

This is a discussion forum where we share our opinions. I'm not sure what else we could talk about if we aren't discussing contestants of a reality TV.  The title of the threads clearly indicate if it's a General Discussion thread where all opinions are welcomed, or a Fan thread where only positive posts are allowed.

This is what this forum has been doing for the last 5 years, discussing reality tv contestants.

We have also been dealing with new members who don't follow the rules, who take it upon themselves, to post whatever the like, in any thread without any thought similar to SM trolls. We won't stand for this behaviour. They get banned and are apparently surprised because they feel they did nothing wrong, however they don't mention they trashed the forum in nasty pm's.

We are not playing childish games. This is a sleuthing forum first and foremost, with opinions based on what we see. Lately it's expected to be a Fan board, with anything negative said about a contestant, causes ridiculous emotional outbursts. Trashing the forum, and trashing the members opinions are not allowed. Posts that are rude and condescending are not allowed. We have mentioned many times, if there is an issue, use the report post button. If you feel a post should be reported, report it. It's unfair to us if all of a sudden we are being told we are biased and we have no idea why. Posts are deleted not because I am biased, they are deleted because I will not ever allow rude condescending posts.

We have had many successful sleuthing years, and plan to continue to do so.

There was some discussion about how Peter's SM has changed since being back and implications in several posts that he never really promoted his business on IG before being on the show, and that's just not factually correct. I just noticed it when I was on his IG but he actually promoted way more on his personal IG before the show. IG story is a relatively new feature, & as far as I know there's no way to know what his habits on that were before the show, but as for actual posts on his IG? Since being back, he's made 2. this & this

Before going on the show?

& I only went back as far as December of last year. There's way more. IMO this is a man who owns a small business, is very passionate it from everything I've seen, and has tried to grow said business by using his SM both before and after the show. I don't think he should have to change that because people on the internet might question his intentions. All JMO.

Omg!! In Rachel's recent insta story she's wearing the LA dodgers hat that Peter has!

@ReneeM also the IG for his business and his Facebook also shows that he was promoting quite a lot before ..

My thoughts exactly

Yup! I'm not trying to convince anyone to like him if they don't and everyone's entitled to their opinion, but when it comes the facts? The only thing about Peter's IG content that's changed is him posting about the bachelorette. Other than that? Nothing. He's always posted shirtless pics/vids of himself working out, he's always posted shots of himself modelling, pics of family & friends, and of course, promoting his business. & I have no problem with that, because as someone said in a comment he liked on IG, the show isn't paying his bills.

...ok Peter @ this like. People are being weirdo's on his friend Mikka's page being very accusatory of the fact that she called him handsome & just being crazies questioning her motives for posting it (I think she's been deleting some of the really nasty comments), he's liked several comments defending her/him/their friendship. This one was ... interesting.
