Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - Episode 10 FRC - Aug 7 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #3

stuckinsc wrote:@umngirl just me, but his apology wasn't sincere. All his SM trolling shows he meant every petty word he said. And heartbroken Peter was thrilled just days after being dumped. He just keeps playing his part.

Rachel was not gracious, she is still hurt, so yeah, she could have risen above, but her truth was that she still feels hurt and anger for the way she feels that Peter treated her and played her. That sucks because she has a man willing to love her, but hearts heal in different ways.

I come out of this as a bigger Bryan fan. He isn't everyone's cup of tea, but he has risen above and not fallen into any of the pettiness. He is just a man who wants to love his woman. Go Bryan. Rachel you are a lucky woman. All JMO.

It was all about him and made her big moment with her chosen one anti-climatic and almost an afterthought. I guess if someone wins the majority of the viewing audience over to such a frothy degree as Peter does, it's a win for ABC.  I don't see why he's such a hit though.

And shill his ab crap. He must have been working hard to have it all ready to go the minute the final aired.

As usual, this whole stupid scenario of who used who and love/hate of contestants will repeat all over next season.

But seriously, they all need to get over themselves. So what if Peter wants the lead and played along to get it? She played other guys because there needs to be someone at the end. If it wasn't Peter it would have been Eric, Dean, Matt, Adam, Will, Josiah, etc. Then we would have gotten she got played by them. It is the circle of life Bachelor/ette style. Suck it up. You got the guy, the ring and the watch. Go be happy.

The shilling must have been a joint decision, Rachel even mentioned in the limo interview that she hopes everyone still continues to follow their journey on SM. And why not, if they have a wedding to plan a life to build together, go for it. Strike the iron while it's hot.

Im so happy to have passed on this season and watched only to see the guys that might be the next Bach.  Id watch Peter if hes the one.   Realistic interests me

I haven't seen a Bachelor/'Ette couple that doesn't shill. Even sweet Des and Chris do it. Remember Chris' Book of Poems he published right after the show? I remember that. I just think ALL of them get inundated with shilling opportunities coming off the show.

Can we really blame Peter for not being ready to propose to someone after only knowing them a couple months? Actually it’s 2.5 months to be more accurate. I think it’s totally normal not to feel ready. And let’s be honest here, the majority of the couples that get engaged end up breaking up after the show (myself included!). I respect his decision to want to save his only first shot at proposing to someone for when he feels it in his bones. Honestly, looking back, I’m kind of disappointed that I got engaged on the show. I knew I didn’t know the guy I picked in the end well enough, but I decided to accept the proposal anyway. And it kind of bums me out that Kevin’s proposal to me wasn’t the only time I said yes to someone. Does that make sense?

I’ve talked about this before but you really don’t fall in love with the person you meet on the show. Yes my relationship didn’t work, so obviously mine wasn’t real love.
