Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - Discussion - #9

makeover wrote:@Rachelsseason LMAO, Peter trying to be all sentimental and manipulative with his IG post and then comes his friend just exposing him that it's nonsense that he still cares for Rachel. Team Peter can't even keep the story straight among themselves IMO.

fras0132 The one about him still having feeling for Rachel and not being emotionally ready because of that breakup? Yea... That's 100% made up garbage

The point of the screenshot was his friend's take on the whole "floating idea" on the inter-web that Peter not becoming the Bachelor had something to do with the latter's residual feelings for Rachel.

There was an article about why TPTB didn't pick Peter. The ATFR showed Peter still too emotional about Rachel and not ready yet. Like Arie is now saying right after the break up with Emily he wasn't ready to be the lead but now is a better time. Honestly it seemed to be an effort to calm Peter fans....we don't think he's ready now but in a year maybe he will be. I think Peter's friend is referring to what was said in that article. Anybody else know the article I'm talking about?

“Peter was absolutely in discussion. He sort of alluded to that as well. I think at this point in his life, the breakup with Rachel was still very raw. Sometimes you move on very quickly, sometimes you don’t. I think that, for him, there were still residual feelings there, and it was a very real breakup,” Robert Mills, ABC’s Senior Vice President of Alternative Series, Specials & Late-Night Programming, told Entertainment Tonight.

“I think the finale, when that aired and everything after that was also hard on Peter. I think he just didn’t know. I think Peter probably would have done it and been an amazing Bachelor, but I also don’t know if he, himself, knew if this was the time when he was ready to really do this 100 percent,” added Mills, who said Kraus wasn’t “100 percent ready.”

“I think we’ll always be in touch with Peter, and there might be a time. … It might be a year from now, when it’s better for him,” said Mills. “It was all about timing. If Arie wasn’t ready, we would have looked at him, but we want it to feel right. Peter was an incredible fan favorite, which I think was great, but I also think the double-edged sword with that is, if it’s not the season that the fans want, which, you know, might have been if Peter might not have been ready to commit 100 percent, that’s also disappointing, and it would have been disappointing for Peter too.”

Following his appearance on The Bachelorette, Kraus thought he would be cast for the role of Bachelor “up until early this week,” a source close to the situation told PEOPLE
