Firstly, you can tell from their body language how into each other they are.  Chris was still hung up on Becca (i remember he held her WAY too long ATFR). Whitney and Chris just didn't seem believable to me. Bryan and Rachel look every bit as in love as they claim to be.

I'm just confused, TBH. If Rachel was leaning towards Peter, I don't understand so many things like why she chose to get matching 8k watches with Bryan, why she reacted the way she did when he said ILY, why she tried so hard with his mother, why she wore that watch in front of Peter, why she introduced Bryan to her friends, and why she basically started WWIII with her family when they criticized him. It all seemed to scream F1. But, then, if it was Bryan, I don't get why she was pushing the proposal so hard with Peter. Those tears weren't an act. They were signs of real heartbreak and distress. Was it her just falling back on old patterns of wanting what she couldn't have? Did something happen after HTDs that made her want Peter again? Was it just an ego and control thing, where she wanted Peter to propose even if she didn't necessarily want to say yes?  I sincerely don't know. Roberto was default and I'm the idiot who totally believed Ali when she used to say that it was always him. She also looked very happy with him for most of their 18 months together. I don't know if we'll ever get the real story, but I just feel for Bryan. He's had the hardest time, constantly being mocked and attacked on social media and then on top of that, he probably has to wonder if he's second choice (or at least, deal with everyone thinking that). IMO.

I wish Rachel could have let go of Peter easier, but in the end, all that matters is she did let him go.  If Rachel wanted to Peter she could have accepted dating, or she could have said, yes, please propose when he said he would.  It was a brutal breakup and parting kiss, but it was a break.  

Bryan won the woman and honestly, I think that is all he cares about.  We all still watched Rachel fall in love with Bryan, she just needed to get out her own way to let it happen.

BTW, I am not a jewelry girl, but if someone gave me a rock that pretty, I would jump up and down too.
