Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - MTA - July 31 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion

@lleyki thanks for clearing that up!

Iggy looks so different, ! Post show, they all seem to love Iggy.

Check out Josiah's story. Alex has lit up shoes, so funny! Lee is right in there partying with all of them! (As I said before, I think it was all totally scripted, jmo, but a very BAD script.) Love these guys, this was a really great bunch imo!

I don't know how to bring the IG stories over or I would do it.

I'm not surprised Lee is there partying with the other guys. I've suspected long before that all the drama surrounding him is manufactured by the producers. In one of the guys IG story, they showed Lee having a chat with Elan, probably going through the script for the MTA (my speculation). Cynical me actually wonders how much Rachel is also in on it.

yep ITA

I don't think it was scripted, because you can't go back and make up tweets from years ago that are racist, islamaphobic, and sexist. I do think that Lee played along and hammed it up, so that he could get screentime and didn't realize he would portrayed as the "racist" guy and thought he would just be a typical villain. People are never black or white though, so I'm guessing he still got a long with the guys despite some of his views. IMO.

I watched a bunch of IG stories because they kindly linked each other and the few not linked I looked up myself when I spotted them.
Lee was definitely all smiles partying with the gang. I saw him hanging with Dean all buddy buddy laughing together and smiling for the camera in one IG story. And Kenny was right in that same happily partying group. They all seemed like pals.
The two sightings I saw of Rachel. One she was with Robby standing together and the other she was hanging in a group with primarily with her girl squad.
Raven continued to show her less than classy side IMO.

Yes, Raven, ugh.

Will says he uses Snap so if people are interested check him out

I'm just saying, all the guys who were badmouthing Lee on the show (Kenny, Josiah, Dean) suddenly have no problem hanging with him now, so I still think those confessionals about Lee on the show were encouraged/ suggested by the producers. So were the villainous commentary by Lee. Lee's tweets are there before the show and IMO, he was recruited partly because of them to set up a storyline and some of the guys on the show went along with the script. I already find it suspect during the episode when Kenny said he thought Lee was his friend but because Lee interrupted his one on one time once, he was so offended by it and that silliness started the whole Lee/Kenny drama.

All the guys are used to interrupting each other. Bryan also interrupted Kenny's time with Rachel the very next episode but he didn't go off on Bryan.

Nothing and nobody is black and white on this show, JMO.

I don't understand ABC's schedule. Are they changing things this season completely?

Check the link again, it's been changed to July 31st. My guess is he just made a mistake and has edited to the date that fits the schedule. My guess is this Monday we will have the TBC episode where we don't get to see Bryan's FSD and the F3 rose ceremony. Then the next week, the hour before the MTA is aired, we will see Bryan's FSD and the F3 rose ceremony where it seems likely that Eric is eliminated, based on Adam's tagging Eric even if he and others made sure he wasn't seen in the pictures shared, since that hasn't aired yet. But I assume that means he was very much at the MTA. Then the following week, August 7 is the blessed finale where we finally know who Rachel picks.

Why tag him if he's there
