ITA! I saw the meme online as well and said "hell no"...then I saw that was exactly Bryan's response too and  
I agreed with it completely..

He comes off as greasy/smarmy (not my cup of tea either) but I do feel that he is genuinely interested / attracted to her.

I think Bryan and Rachel felt instant chemistry and it kinda of blew them both away.

That said, I think she fell for Peter with the great first 1:1, but watching all the stuff after that was shades of Brooks and Des. Rachel wants more affection and instead she gets to make all the moves.

I think the ease with Bryan just outstripped the effort with Peter. Kind of like a light bulb, I have a man who loves me and makes me feel like a queen who I want right back. Why am I fighting so hard for someone who isn't giving it back to me?

All JMO.

I think this pic is from hometowns.

IMO I don't see any comparison to Des/Brooks DeAnna/Graham Ali/Frank. In each of those cases the 'etts were basket cases. They were chasing and trying to convince themselves they were the ones for them even though it wasn't being reciprocated by them. Whereas IMO Rachel is totally into Bryan and no one else. She fell in love with one guy. She said she struggled, and we would see her go back and forth. IMO that is because she thought Bryan was too good to be true.

@GuardianAngel I see shades of Des in her interactions with Peter. I feel like she does try to deepen their connection. I have also come to realize and see the Des was also falling for Chris too, that beautiful ending did not just happen in one week. Unlike Des, I see Rachel objectively seeing both guys and not getting overly caught up in one like Des's edit showed.

I think Bryan would have been F1 regardless, but I think Peter has made that choice much easier than it could have been. And Peter's first 1:1 has replaced Brooks's as the best first 1:1 date ever.

On a side note, I think we will be getting shades of JP and Ash with Rachel's family. And much like Ash's family I expect by AFTR that Rachel's family will have grown to appreciate how good Bryan is for Rachel.

After so many seasons of this show, some storylines are bound to repeat somewhat.

All IMO.

Bryan doesn't give me the fake vibe as Josh does. Josh seems like he is trying too hard to be cool. Bryan just exudes confidence, but I don't think he is OTT, which can sometimes be mistaken for cockiness. Bryan has laid pretty low on SM and a good majority of his photos are family-oriented. He wasn't part of the drama in the house. He was focused on Rachel and you better believe she took notice. I'm curious to see him on ATFR and during media rounds as it may give us a better picture of who he is in RL. Jmhoaa.

Hmm, he's a bit of a smooth operator but he is 37 and has been around. He knows what he is doing. That doesn't mean he isn't genuinely falling for Rachel. I trust that Rachel made the wisest decision out of the choices she had. I couldn't say the same about some other 'ettes. JMO.

He's getting photos taken in his HTD outfit. I wonder what that's about.

He did the same with his watch date outfit. At that time I had assumed they were BTS pics back from filming. But with this new pic, are we to assume they are real time rather than BTS? If so, what is he doing?

And no watch, !

Ok, Bryan, are you and Rachel holed up in LA somewhere and she took that photo today?
If so, please confirm in a subtle way

(My wishful and wild thinking! If it's confirmed she took it that would be too good to be true 1000%, )
