I think she's pissed at both Peter and Dean, from their gossip sessions about, in her opinion, the most perfect man to ever walk the earth. I just don't see who else that ESPY comment could apply to, since she already knew about Lee and Iggy as they had come directly to her and she shouldn't have been shocked to see their "gossip". And, I think she's smart enough to know that Eric, unfortunately, doesn't have a chance. JMO.

I don't think she would be mad about the supposed gossiping. In the interview she stated she wasn't mad t her sister saying Bryan is a smooth talker cause she herself felt the same way at the beginning. Everyone has pointed out that Bryan is a smooth talker so why be so pissed at only two of the people for noticing the obvious

Well, she already said "the pettiness of the men shocked me" and "what are they, women gossiping in a locker room? They're worse than women". Maybe she's not pissed...but that doesn't indicate that she's super happy with them. And, then to say, "someone from another season" instead of the canned, TPTB-desired answer of "anyone in my final four would be great!"? I think things are chilly.  

And, I wouldn't be surprised if Rachel was pissed at her sister. She's not going to announce her family drama to the whole world, but her sister's ITM supported what a lot of people already thought and it's made it much harder for people to accept Bryan, so I doubt she's happy with that. She's probably more understanding of her sister vs. Dean/Peter, since her sister wasn't exactly gossiping and her thoughts came out of actual concern for Rachel. Whereas Dean/Peter's seemed to be more out of jealousy, hypocrisy ("sloppy second" was bad, but "girl from the hood" and "I'm going black and I'm never going back" were okay?), and pettiness (like bringing his age into it).

Maybe Rachel will surprise me and be super gracious and kind and adoring with both, but I don't see it. IMO.

"Well, I already felt that Peter has his walls up, which I relate to -- that was me on Nick [Viall's] season, but to hear a parent say that ... a mother knows her child," Lindsay tells ET's Lauren Zima. "I was a little shocked by that. And it was something I wanted to talk to him about later on or whenever I had the chance to."

I'm sorry but Rachel can't be doing selective forgiveness and then literally take it back. She told Dean that the I'm going black line was funny and it was something she wanted to use and he stole her line. She can't go back and be ticked at it now. Same deal with the sloppy seconds and the hood remark. If she is going to be laughing off one, she better laugh off all of them. And no taking it back. I also fail to see how she can suggest that Peter would not make a good Bachelor because he is sceptical and reminds her of herself. Well, she is the Bachelorette and she was reserved on Nick's season and she has now apparently found herself a guy who makes her sooooooooo happy on her own season. Why should Peter not be allowed the same?

If she is bitter about how things worked out, blame the producers and editors. This is their doing. If she is bitter about the other guys....I'm excluding Lee in this since she certainly has plenty to be p*ssed off about there....it makes me wonder why. What went on there? Is it shades of the squad all over again, but this time she can't hide behind the other women? Curiouser and curiouser.

"I'm like, what are we doing here, you know?!" she adds.

I think we have had other controversial contestants not show up at MTA? Wes? Bentley? What are they going to do? Sue him and have all their dirty secrets come out in court? I'd love that.
