This far along we didn't have three left, and one of which is a man of color so showing two men who are white would give away that it was Peter and Bryan, however, having one black and one white would give away that either Bryan or Peter was let go at F3.  

Looking at that screen shot of the F3 isn't Peter in the slot for the F3 position, I know that was years back and they may have changed it up.

They could have shown some FRC shots from behind the F2 guys at the FRC podium, showing only their shoulder and getting a frontal view of Rachel.  And they could have shown another shot of a different leg coming out of a limo.

I was thinking the same thing you were about the F3 lineup.  Seems to me there was a case (or two) in which the lead had a last-minute change of mind, and that is when the middle person became F2.  I'm certain it is not always true that F3 is placed in the middle, but often enough that it was worth noting.  This is only from my memory.  I have no stats.

Exactly. TPTB could have done countless tricks to hide skin color, hair color, etc and make it look like any other season with the normal 2 cast showing up at the FRC.  
Season of laziness.  IMO

Instead, IMO, TPTB have been very stingy with previews and given nothing but the same stuff. The one foot out of the limo. No Neil Lane, no nothing.

ITA! IMO TPTB are over the season and are banking on Pachel fans to drag them over the finish line. Which, if I might add, is working IMO coz inspite of all the #gates, there is still enough chatter that Peter might be F1. When the fans are doing all the work for you to build the suspense, why bother?

All JMO

Agree. Monday will be a Petal/Pachel meltdown that we haven't seen since Deana chose Jesse over Jason. I can here the cries now. The audience at the AFTR was actually booing Deana and had to be quieted multiple times. People were crying in the aisles.

I think it was Matt from Meredith's season and they used it later which messed with the sleuthing until someone figured it out. I don't think this is proof that Peter isn't there but it's looking increasingly like he wasn't. I think that's good. I hate it when the f2 proposes, especially. Why torture the poor guy?

Kasha and bean, I can see what both of you are saying.  I am wondering though how they wrap up the "will Peter propose" saga they've pushed all season, if he is gone before he can "not" propose.  Does that make sense?

Hypothetically, this is how the situation could have been handled:
They could have showed a scene with the sound of the shower being run in the background and a suit laid out on the sheets, so that all you saw was a dark suit. It could have even been one of the guys suits from the 3 RC, making it look like it was going to be the suit from the FRC. Then they could have done the same thing from another guy. You hear the sound of a shower and see a similar suit laid out on sheets.  You see 2 guys. You don't know which 2. You don't what is going to happen, but you know 2 are going to show up. You don't know which 2.
Hypothetically, they could have even shown viewers that limo foot screen cap and then thrown in a screen cap from the 3RC of the guys legs/shoes.

Gosh, I hope there's more in studio positive support for the final couple this time.
