I'm not disagreeing with this. I don't think Peter is the next coming by a long shot. It's just funny to me, cause he is TOTALLY how Rachel acted towards Nick and Vanessa. She shaded left and right and made snide comments about how they would never last. All while Nick was complementing her, wishing her well, and taking the high road. And her behavior is a large reason why I'm eye rolling at her outrage over the "mediocre life" comment. She had that coming.

To me, Peter is what she deserved. He stole her thunder and dished it back a bit. What goes around, comes around. You get what you give in this world.

I said last season after she was knocking N & V, that karma is a bitch and that for all her saying about ignoring the negative, when her time came, she would get p*ssed. I can give them all some slack, but there comes a point where you have to move on. Peter got the glowing edit she did last season and she didn't like it. Hopefully she can now be a little more understanding about how Nick felt. I hope she moves on and her and Bryan are happy. No doubt, Peter will be in her shoes next season.

If Karma is a bitch then she will show up in all her glory for Peter on his Bachelor season. Peter has been the publicly petty shadiest F2 while the season was airing by fanning the flames of negativity I have ever seen. So I expect a major karmic payback of lightening strikes for Peter. It will be so fascinating how he like the relentless negativity that is thrown at the Lead. Perhaps his SM fanatics can balance it out with the endless excuses and transfer of blame on others.

Not to mention when Karma Sue shows up. Karma Anne. KarmaLeigh. KarmaDee. Karmla. Carmel and Carmie. Get in line. Take a number ladies.

I logically understand what you are saying, but feelings are usually anything but logical. Peter and his behavior brought up the wound of being not good enough for five years. Sure it would be great if she could see that five years and two months are very different, but when caught in the moment Peter's injury to her compound the previous one and therefore became magnified beyond what it would be for someone who has never been with a guy like that. I get it, watching Peter since Geneva made me angry because it magnified my feelings from being treated that way. No logic to it. She needs to heal in her own right and move on. Lee was easy to forgive because his insult was less personal to her.

As for her willingly bringing him to F2, I will give both the benefit of the doubt. I am sure TPTB strongly suggested she keep Peter and I think Peter was informed that if he left just like Brooks and Frank he was not going to have any chance of being the lead. So while I hated watching this, I can see TPTB orchestrated the F2 placement.

Thankfully for Rachel, Bryan seems okay with the Peter questions for now. She is lucky, I know my hubby was gracious whenever I needed to talk my toxic ex out of my system. Now he jokes how I made life easy for him by setting the bar with my former men really low.

I hope we see Rachel move on soon, but I get that the wound is fresh, so Rachel is reacting on emotion not logic. And from my own experience her need to get this out doesn't lessen the feelings she has for
Bryan. As the trigger is removed it will be easier for her to move on and just be happy. JMO.

Thank you for the link.
I really like Bryan and agree with Rachel that we didn't get to see the essence of who he is through this highly edited show. He is so chill, a great balance to Big Rach. I wish a great future for them.

great long interview!!!

Bryan comes across as a mature, grounded, genuine man who is totally in love with and adores Rachel. They are a perfect match

Has Rachel posted anything on IG yet apart from a story?  

What was Bryan's friends SM name/post where he mentioned he was with him before the ATFR, and offers of congrats? I read it earlier today but I'd like to read it again. TYIA

@GuardianAngel @Jeffklein9 and @Pauldine

@Dessler TYVM!

The bold is what I've mentioned several times comparing this to Shawn knowing before hand he wanted K enough to draw a heart around her face on his TV saying he was coming for her. Bryan knew enough before she was announced as the 'ette she was someone who could be his perfect match. No wonder he was all in right from the first second the limo pulled up.

jeffklein9I couldn't be happier for these two. It was special being there last night at the taping and giving my boy a hug before and after. Good hangs the days prior, hiding him (sort of) and spending time before ABC came through. What a crazy time since February! We talked about @therachlindsay being his perfect match before she was announced #TheBachelorette and his leap of faith paid off ... #RachelandBryan #storybook #lovestory

Eric on access Hollywood. I haven't watched yet but apparently he thinks now that Rachel did want Peter.

All I can say to that is ~ did Peter get the FIR?   Did Peter get to meet her friends?  Did Peter get the first 2nd one on one
date?    Did Peter get a special watch that he would share with Rachel for decades of their lives together??    

I didn't think so!
