Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #14

Perhaps she wasn't allowed to. Jmo

Can someone please explain how she tried to sabotage his chance at The Bachelor; she simply agreed with his own comments about needing more time and complimented him on being true to himself.

I think even Rachel knows that what she does or says now is not going to matter - If ABC wants Peter and thinks he'll get them ratings next season, the gig is his IMO. TPTB are not going to give a crap that their last lead doesn't want him. IMO All Rachel was trying to do was point the hypocrisy in his actions - If 10 weeks is not enough for you to get there and propose to 1 woman, it shouldn't be enough for you to get there while dating 25 women. She had a platform last night and IMO used it to return the favor for what Peter not only did during the season but post-show on SM as well. I am not a fan of shady behavior in general but this one was justified IMO.

All JMO

Oh Josiah 

rachel just pointed the obvious: peter could not commit/propose during her season... how will he be able to commit/propose during his season... same period of time

she just mentioned that he is this kind of guy who needs A LONG LONG LONG TIME before being sure the person is the one

so no matter if she did it to piss on his rain or because she feels (with reason I think) that if he accept the gig, he would be the biggest AZZ full of poop and everything he said to her that he was not ready to propose was just that.

she may or may not tried to sabotage, but at the end of the day ... she is right. The guy cannot play double when it is convenient to him. but since it was all about him, no surprise here.

@Guardianangel can we have a pool with a yes / no / do not care ...... about : do you think peter will be the next bachelor? I am curious to know the general feeling here

@Alanna I agree she should have dumped him earlier she instead off all of this nonsense.

@SelmaHB I'm loving how more and more men are coming up with these supportive messages to Bryan and Rachel. Well done, Josiah!

do you know if we have a video with jimmy kimmel yesterday?

do we also have a GMA video yet? too soon?

IA @coolangel and I also think it was her way of saying not saying, you weren't into me, but using his excuse that he needed more time, what makes you think being the next Bachelor you'll be able to commit in such a short time.

Re: Josiah's insider knowledge, maybe that's where the dislike of Bryan by Peter stems from!

You know, like that kid who is resentful of another kid studying really hard for exams and doing well, but not willing to put in the effort himself?
