People are being nasty & petty because she didn't give them the ending they wanted to see. Guess she should have just shut up and accepted what Peter was offering!

What? Accept what Peter is offering? Why not just enjoy her new engagement and respond to their fans instead?

I am talking about how Pachel fans are melting down and reacting not Rachel. She's got filter through a lot of BS to find the positive ones. It's human to respond. I think she'll focus on Bryan today.

@just looking she's not doing as much as people are making it out to be she responded to like three negative comments. I personally feel like she's dammned if she do and dammaned if she don't. IMO it's being blown out of proportion, however if she continues I'm going to have to side eye her because she should have known there was going to be some backlash. I think for as much as people say Peter needs a lot of positive validation, I think Rachel does too. She's not handling the lack of positive support well Imo

She's the winner with the man who adores her and the Neil lane, no reason to respond to critics at all imo. However, I agree she needs a ton of positive validation despite how "strong" she claims to be. Which is good and fine because I think Bryan knows this about her and is willing to give her everything she needs. I'm hopeful he can manage her

I think they'll need to support each other - Kaitlyn gave her the perfect advice last night. Rachel thanked her so I hope she follows it!

Yeah, this is how I feel too. I'm glad she chose Bryan. I think he was the best option for her and I don't get the Peter appeal so many have, but enough is enough. She's been a bit shady on social media all season long here and there. She got her little digs at Peter at the ATFR. No need to keep it going on social media even if it is just three tweets.

It is what it is. Every season the lead gets hammered with hate about how they chose the wrong person as their F1. It sucks, but it's how this show goes. Be thankful you got Bryan. The more she feels the need to defend herself with Bryan, the more people will question it. All JMO

Bryan said, that her Sassy attorney side is a turn on for him, so I don't think she minds a few tweets to nasty trolls and mean tweeters. This is who she is, who she was right after Nick's season. It doesn't surprise me, and I still like her a lot.

I like their approach. They're not making yet big huge plans to uplift their lives, they're getting to know each other, be out in the open, enjoy each other's company freely, without hiding. It sounds sensible, smart and mature, IMO.

Imo Bryan comes across as passionate with Rachel, but calm and mature in other aspects of his life. Rachel is a firecracker all around, and I think they balance each other out really well. Jmo.

Some people hated Bryan for all sorts of reasons but I actually believe he is the most mature out of B, R & P in handling crisis, IMO. At least on the show and on social media. I adore Rachel but I do see what people say when they see a bit of mean streak in her. I see a mean streak in Peter as well. I don't see it in Bryan (so far). So, I hope he balances her out.

IMO I don't think Rachel is that strong when it comes to relationships with men. As I was watching her breakup Peter I was thinking is this even about him or does this relationship represent all the bad relationships she's been in. I don't know it was bizarre to me. I think that relationship would have been a disaster because the both of them are too needy and stubborn. I think that she picked the right guy for her, but boy I tell you Bryan is going to have to be very strong and mature because I think she can be a little immature at times. I do still really like her I feel that she's been vey honest and self aware through out this process, and I think while it was tough to watch she picked the best guy for her

I don't see any mean streak in Bryan either. I really hope the love he feels for her will only grow, mature and endure.

Her coming off as bitter is a culmination of things IMO, not just the tweets.
1. Her trying to downplay her relationship with peter and saying the emotions she had were due to her ex. like ok?
2. The complete 180 she did from her interaction with Eric and peter. It wouldn't have been so bad if peter was looking for a fight too but it came off one sided


I personally don't even think this is about not having the viewers support as more like the frustration between her and peter that never got resolved, and STILL didn't get resolved last night. Her ego was bruised and it's like she's out to bruise his as well. But for me it's like you have a fiancé now, get over it and be happy

Haha, I love the girl, but yes! Bryan's been surprisingly mature and drama-free - although people stereotyped him as that jealous Latino alpha, he hasn't shown any signs of jealousy, bitnerness, or pettiness throughout the season, either on-screen on social media. The B/R dynamic reminds me of the K/S dynamic, where she's also always starting trouble on social media and just being kind of attention-seeking in general, whereas he's the calm (usually!), drama-free, mature guy who stays out of all that. Hopefully the balance works for them! The more I learn about P and R, I learn how truly dysfunctional and crazy they would have been together. Yikes! IMO.

She said it..."I'm chill until I'm not". She was not last night for a bit hope the chill back this am.

As sidebar, from a PR standpoint she'd be start to do DWTS.
They are two mature adults, I think they can handle it. JMO
