Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - **Sleuthing Spoilers** - #8

@cho. From page 60 of this thread, there's 2 areas of grass so Rachel can lid down on either one to take a pic. IMO.

I wasn't sure if it was ever posted here or not, but I have looked at the property listing and the grass section where Rachel was lying is part of the property. As per forum rules, I have not included the source or address.

Yes as the security guards drag me out and coworkers surreptitiously gaze over our cubicle walls/rat maze enclosures

Definitely looks like she was laying in the first grass pic. Still amazed at that smoking gun. It's like the next best thing if we can't get a snap of them in bed .

Still bothered by no nice green grass for R to be on at the SHV

Additional pictures of the property was sleuthed and posted that did show an area of green grass where Rachel could have taken the picture.

eta: sdmom beat me to it.

I think she ended up hating the foiler and really really wanted the right story out there. I don't know if it worked anywhere but here but she's really fighting hard against something ingrained in the machinery of the show imo. The f2/3 have got to be more likable than the f1 to the general audience. It has to be that way imo because they want a compelling way to end the current season and have a strong lead for the following season. It's a battle she can't win fundamentally imo but she can sure try! It's entertaining.

@cho I agree with your description of the edit. Were it not for the SHV sleuthing pics, I'd be so sure Peter was F1.

Even now I have to keep myself from regressing because her answers to a lot of post show questions point to Peter too. But to be honest they probably apply to Bryan too but we haven't learned much about him beyond his feelings fir Rachel.

Those pictures probably came from Big Rach herself. She was like "I've been wearing that watch, writing love letters to Bryan in my blogs, retweeting pro-Bryan recappers, repeating exact quotes Bryan said in interviews, what else does a girl have to do to make people believe??"

And, I understand why people think that Peter is getting the F1 edit with his commitment issues, but I think it's his Bachelor set up as he loses out on love because he couldn't let his walls down and didn't fight for her, but now he's learned from his mistakes and is ready to find the one! Kind of like with Reid. IMO.

I love analysing the edit as well. Something I noted, when I read a blog of hers - from a blog on People: http://people.com/tv/bachelorette-rachel-lindsay-exclusive-blog-geneva-switzerland/

"I prayed the men understood that my intentions and decisions were not completely selfish because every single one was made with the ultimate goal of making one of these men the happiest and most loved husband they ever dreamed they could be." 

Then what he said in an early interview. Hers was said after the season ended, his was said during interview during first date.

"If I could be the final person with Rachel at the end, I will be the happiest man I could possibly be."

Thank you for the grass pictures - I hadn't noticed those posts.

@CHO Really good post and summary of the edit. We should remember this for upcoming seasons as there is usually a pattern to the edit. Guess those people aren't that creative after all.

IMO Peter is getting the same push-pull Bachelor edit Luke got last season wherein he'll pull back and wait till the last minute to open up and when the lead eliminates him, he'll suddenly realize that he should have opened up sooner and then bam... he'll come back next season with his heart open to luuvv and not wanting to repeat his mistakes.  That crying on the floor scene is his final scene for the Bachelor audition IMO. Hopefully, his acting isn't as crap as it's been all season (JMO).

All JMO

ETA: @Aria, ITA!
