Rachel's older sister was pregnant at the time and would have been unable to fly during the normally scheduled MTP time for filming so production graciously juggled scheduling.

Bryan and Rachel were so cute though.

IA. I'm an immigrant /mom too and I totally understand Olga. I don't think she is going to be very difficult at all. I think she and R will get along just fine. Looks like she likes her already IMO

Rachel & Bryan look so good together.

I've watched contestants who are reserved and had no doubt about their feelings for the lead. In Peter's case, I think he's just not into Rachel.

Rachel's sister was pregnant and couldn't travel.

Given that it is a runaway at this point for Bryan, it seems like they made her keep Peter instead of Dean just for his bachelor set up.

I also wonder if Peter wasn't letting himself fall since he's seen Rachel with Bryan. He may not want to go all in - he commented early on that he can read Rachel pretty well...JMO. I think he could fall for someone as bachelor.

Peter is doing just enough to get to the next step so he gets far enough to be the Bachelor, IMO. Even his family and friends all seemed like they were acting too. Felt totally forced and scripted looking to me.

I cannot get over how cute Bryan is. From his dancing, to his bashfulness in front of his family.

I'm going to ask Dessler for a gif of when he said " those lips" -- sigh. Your could see he is physically affected by her.

IMO Peter has serious intimacy ISSUES. They only person he was into this season other than Himself was Dean. xoxo GG's. IMO.
Even though TPTB seem to have made Rachel drag Peter along because of his Bachelor edit....Please No Peter as the Bachelor.

I felt incredibly uncomfortable watching the disagreement between Dean and his dad.  That felt like something that should have been done privately in my opinion.  I can't help my feeling that production and the cameras being there did not help in their conversation, either.  In fact, it would not surprise me if production gave Dean's dad the idea and a lot of "encouragement" to ask Dean to talk in the first place.
