Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - **Sleuthing Spoilers** - #7

He has next Bachelor written all over him. So never fear, Peter fans. Invest in wine, mod team.

Is that the word going around in Wisconsin about him being the next Bachelor?

You're from there right sosleepy?

Not trying to be argumentative, rude or snarky, but what do I need think about?  I said there have been SHVs.  They could be anytime.  I never said they only had to be weekends or that is had to be with Bryan and not Peter.  I do think clues support Bryan but I don't care who she picks.  It's her choice.  I'm simply sleuthing and putting puzzle pieces together.  

I just don't buy that there have not been any.  That makes absolutely no sense to me when we've had leads and F1s with far more demanding jobs than being a trainer, not knocking his job simply stating a fact/MO, be able to fit in a SHV.  

Not to mention I don't for a minute think it'd be the least bit helpful to try to present a happy couple at the AFTR and them actually have a chance in the real world, that had not been able to spend anytime together.  This is when they build the relationship and that needs to involve some face to face, 1:1 time together, IMO.

And hasn't she made mention she didn't like/want any more long distance or something along those lines?  Why would she ever agree to no SHVs when practically every other couple in the history of the franchise has had them?

JMOAA

Not that I actually believe that Eric is the F1, but is anybody keeping tabs on him during supposed SHV weekends? He lives in LA, so it would be very easy for him to "travel" to the SH without anybody noticing.

I haven't been following. Are there clues that point to Bryan/Rachel SHV's just not Peter... or are we concerned SHVs aren't happening at all?

If the later, that's an awful sign, and whoever the couple is... personally, if it were me, save your energy and don't get invested. JMO.

@Cila51290 Yes I'm from Madison. No real insight at all.... just don't think he's F1. JMO.

@Just Looking  almost all  leads have had to explain hot tub type scenes to their f1s. IMO this one could be no different. Some leads had to even explain have done the deed to their eventual f1s.

I personally do not take a hot tub encounter as a clue one way or the other to f1 status.
Jmo


Oh and to the point about SHVs, this is something totb have ensured takes place since the old days when couples broke up immediately because they had not spent time together. And has been in place for a large number of years ensuring that the end product has been together for more than just the media rounds. Mostly.

A girl as excited and In love as Rachel is imo not going to be away from her love for a long period of time.

IMO if only SHVs are the indication, Peter is not f1.

IMO if Rachel on the show is any indication, Peter is not F1,

IMO Peter is not f1.
( have I said IMO enough ?????? Lol)

** snipped **

No one has spotted Bryan anywhere (as far as I have sleuthed), which is puzzling. And he's not active daily on SM. Peter's SM if taken at face value makes it impossible to believe he's been away from Madison recently. While Bryan's radio silence at least doesn't negate that he could be with her. So no REAL evidence of a SHV.

Why do you guys think the TPTB allowed her to publicize that she's engaged? Did she have to give up something in exchange like SHVs for fear of spoiling even further? I doubt it, but that's the only explanation in my mind for no SHV (if we are trying to make a Peter is F1 argument).

I only say Peter is not F1 based on SM. Based on what's seen on the show, I totally think he's F1. I agree that hot-tub action was a lot especially because she has been saying in her interviews that she was only ever in love with one of them. Has any other bachelorette done such a sexy scene with anyone but her F1? I have a vague recollection of that happening before but I can't remember who.

You guys already know that I think Peter is F1. And I do think there have been SHV's. If we go by just the theory that weekends are the only time that SHV's could have happened, then that doesn't bode all that well for TOG either. The last 3 weekends, Rachel has been accounted for.

We had Mem Day weekend, when all were physically unaccounted for, then 3 weekends in a row where we have evidence that Rachel was somewhere without either of her F2, then this current weekend.

In addition to several other factors, that hot tub scene did it for me. Not the scene itself, but that TOG had just made a profession of being in love with Rachel. Instead of riding the high of that profession, in the next day or so, we see her initiating that hot tub scene with Peter. If she were "gone" for TOG, no way would that hot tub plus whatever else for 3 hrs plus, have happened. JMO.

I do think Peter is in WI this weekend. And I think Rachel is with him. I believe that she has gone to him for all visits. Peter's schedule is way too trackable online for him to just take off. It would be broadcast for all to see if he were out for a span of days.

imo

Not to mention all of this fitness stuff that Rachel is doing. What reason does she have to be training and having professional photo sessions, video etc of her workout sessions. That has nothing to do with what Rachel does for a living, but everything to do with what Peter is doing going forward.

of course, jmo.

My opinion is fans of a romance love a HEA. An engagement=HEA. Engagement=HEA=increased ratings.
Rachel is not big into social media.
Summer is not a huge tv draw on it's own.
The bachelorette has been losing a fan base regardless of who the lead is each subsequent season.
This season the ratings have been lower across the board. (I am not placing the blame on Rachel, I see various factors involved and none in particular attributed to her,IMO)
So, it's my opinion this was done from the beginning in hopes of reeling in more of a viewing audience. So IMO it was not TPTB throwing a bone to her or doing her a favor, it was for them.
TPTB actually IMO would prefer a successful couple. It gives the show a good rep. It brings in ratings.
Changing subject--Rachel made a point about having to get back to work. There are certain obligations that might excuse a day off work. I can not see scheduling a SHV out of town being one, not when it's absolutely reasonable to expect the other half of the equation to be able to meet her half way. I realize work can be done "at home", but I would expect that a certain amount of her time has had to have also been accounted for in Dallas.

@adf23 Wow!! If Rachel gives up her law career to become a personal trainer with Peter.....then Wow! Also if Rachel is already accommodating her life around Peter for the SHV's because of his job when other F1's have been Trainers and managed to meet in LA for SHV's....again Wow! Rachel is definitely captivated by Peter so maybe she is his ultimate fangirl...again Wow! It is like Peter was the Bachelor and Rachel his F1....again Wow! IMO and IMO......

Let's assume Peter is F1. He can't just stop doing his job. Rachel is able to telecommute. IMO I don't think it would be that strange for them to make the decision that she would travel to him for mini-visits. I don't know who won, but it is a viable option. IMO

She is giving up a salary of what, upwards of 150K to assist a personal trainer? I'm sure she has full support of the judge.
Rachel has a M-F job. If she were flying across the country for SVH or anything else I would hope we would have many more people spotting her, tagging her etc.
This weekend we have no sightings yet for Rachel or Bryan, yet and for many the weekend isn't over until Wednesday.
