I don't agree because Bryan has been treated as the f1 since day 1 imo- fir, week 5 date, adrenaline date, etc.

I don't understand this.... do they know Bryan is F1 out of the limo so they know not to give him the first 1:1, to give him the week 5 date and the adrenaline date? I believe the lead has their top 5 or 6 guys on night 1 but do they really have their F1 figured out?

Generally, the first night (that of the M&G) the lead whether male or female narrows down their final 4 picks with production. It is not out of the realm that there are only a top 1 or 2 of these top 4.

I really thinks she pulls away! I even think she started with this date! In the helicopter/dog sled to me JMO Peter's date was 3rd, so I BELIVE after Byran says he is all in, and their date she is a goner! Again JMO

Going forward HTD dates we saw unedited, she seems kinda reserve with Peter, not all hand on giddy like we saw with Byran..JMO!

Its curious but if Bryan does in fact end up as F1 then Yes. Only because we now have some sort of track record from recent seasons.

Producer on Premier night : So you met the 25+++ guys tonight, who do you like the best ?
Rachel : Bryan
Producer : Ok so give us your top 5
Rachel : Bryan but I do like Peter, Dean. Eric also.
Producer : So let me get this straight, you like Bryan ?
Rachel : Oh yes.    

Producer : Got it.      


Replace the names from past seasons and you get a similar variation on the above.

Rachel liked Alexis' IG post 42 minutes ago.  But now we need an indicator of where she is and if she's spending some sneaked in, secret time with a certain someone in his city. Any little sign we can sleuth will do.

There's enough of a pattern in the past years where the Bette F1 always gets Ep 5 1on1 date that yes, I do think the lead has their F1 picked out night one to get that Ep 5 1on1 date and barring anything major happening, that Ep 5 1on1 contestant will be F1. It's why I posted before Rach's season even started filming that whomever gets Ep 5 1on1 date will likely be F1. This show is that predictable IMO.

Hopefully they can change up some of these formulas soon.

I also hope they change up the formulas because it really has gotten very predictable. That said I will be surprised if TPTB will change anything since just by looking at SM the majority of the general audience each season still seems to be clueless about these formulas and patterns and each season even with spoilers SM general audience still thinks someone other than F1 is going to be F1. So I guess as long as "it ain't broke" TPTB will keep things the same 

therachlindsay  HAPPY MONDAY!!! And that's right, you guessed it...it's a new episode of the Bachelorette!!!! Tune in tonight 8/7pm on @abcnetwork to watch me continue to find love and not with the beautiful @theyearofelan (as seen above)...we found love and friendship together last year but with the amazing 6 men left on this journey! #bachelornation #thebachelorette

Oh the watch again! Out of three 1-1dates she posted this one: same outfit as Bryan's date. Hmmm......

It has been Bryan from day one for Rachel. Their chemistry and connection is off the charts.  Bryan has been the frontrunner from start to finish IMO. Reciprocity at its finest.
The only way Peter would have been F1 was if he was Bryan. IMO.
JMO
