Don't get me wrong, the two of them together walking around the Farmer's Market looked comfortable and cute enough but watching her ITM and the words actually coming out of her mouth (not some voice over that was probably spliced in), I kind of felt like Rachel was over it and just saying lines that she has to. The first thing to stand out to me was her stressing how much she really liked Peter - LIKED.

I can accept not saying love but at this stage in the season, I would have expected a "I really care about him", just something more effusive. And she seemed a little stoic in talking about the "issues" and questions regarding him, versus seeming truly concerned and emotional as you would expect if this was someone she was in love with and scared that he maybe didn't feel the same. I don't know, I'm sure many won't see it the same way but like I said, that's the first time I got that feeling from Rachel regarding Peter.

ITA! I had that feeling even when I saw the BTS pics during filming. IMO Her BL was so casual/off compared to the one she had with Bryan during his HTD BTS videos. IMO Rachel was into Peter during the start of the start of the season but as time went on, her interest dwindled (partly due to his lack of interest) while Bryan's turned into a four-alarm blaze IMO. I think after Bryan's HTD, it was a done deal for her IMO esp. seeing her expressions during the 'I am falling in love' SC during his HTD.

They share a Management Company? I thought he was a chiropractor. What does he need a management for 

@Aria thanks for the additional info.  

ETA: most in Bach nation have reps to handle offers, appearances and such. Especially the F1's. Not unusual at all, IMO

My question too? Management/rep for what?

I get why Josh Murray has a rep but I'm not understanding why Bryan needs one? Why do they share the same management?

Josh never said they share a management, He said he met Bryan at an event in Miami that he was hosting and their interaction was very short (paraphrasing). The management guy is a mutual friend.

EDT: We don't know if he is managed by the friend or not, the only thing we know is that he was the last person he followed before he left for filming and there is a pic of Bryan,Management guy and Josh at said event.

Got it, thanks!

@Dessler thanks for the additional info.    Very true, we know the rep followed Bryan before Bryan followed him.  And I don't think we ever found proof to confirm either was, so it's assumed his indeed Bryan's rep, but sometimes a follow is just a follow.  I guess I should've clarified that more.  Sorry!

And as I said above, pretty much most of all Bach nation, any that shill, do photo shoots or make appearances have representation to handle all the requests and contacts and set up everything,  it is not unusual for any of these people to have it.  It's especially important for F1's and the final couple immediately following the FRC/AFTR to have it.

I think she fell in love with Bryan at his HTD

Same here but I didn't ignore the sleuthing aspect of it. By this time, HTD's they should be all over each other IMHO. This is why I never believed he was the F1 before the first spoiler, after the first spoiler, and before the premier aired.

During a live IG story, someone asked Josh if he and Bryan were friends. He said he met him and spoke to him briefly during a club appearance he (Josh) did in Miami a few months back. I think that's the extent of the "friendship". Not besties as far he explained.

Haven't posted here in awhile because I've been crazy busy, but OMG it's about freaking time that we got to HTD!!!   With all of the TBC's and constant two week long breaks, this season has felt very disjointed (and kinda confusing to boot). I think at this point, it's pretty obvious that the F1 is Bryan, **edited** Especially after the second 1-1 Geneva luxury date. I agree with some of the people here stating that it was pretty much a done deal after HTD. And it's also obvious that his mom was just making a bad joke about 'killing her.' **IMO**But it does seem like she's pretty protective, and there's nothing wrong with that; but I have to wonder what impact his mom is going to have on their relationship if any. Is she going to drive Rachel away too?

At the beginning, she gravitated towards Peter and probably really wanted it to be him, but things have since cooled down between them. If he had've been more agressive from the get go, I don't have any doubt that he would be the last man standing. I wonder if he finally got there at the end, and actually got down a knee, or if she sent him home prior to the FRC? Either way, there's no doubt that he's going to be TB 2018. **IMO**I'd be shocked if he turned it down, because the gig pretty much has his name written all over it. But on the off-chance that he does, who would they choose? Eric? Alex? Josiah? I felt so bad for Dean, and hope that him and his dad manage to repair the damage to their relationship someday. I'm not going to say anything else on the subject because I don't know Dean or his family, and it's not my place to judge his father. Ha, ha so far I am loving what I'm seeing of Eric's family!!   They look like they're so warm, welcoming and friendly! You know, it's a shame that it wasn't there on Rachel's end, because I think in another lifetime, they actually would've made a great couple.

As far as Rachel and Bryan are concerned, I guess only time will tell if they can truly make this thing work in the real world. Bryan's not a bad guy, but he needs to chill out, and stop with the Latin Lover crap *IMO**. The only way that they're going to work is if he's 100% real and vulnerable with her. I'm still not 100% totally sold on him, but hey, I'm not the one that has to live with the dude. And if Rachel's happy, then I'm happy for her.
