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.

Per the bolded: I think so. I think a big part of her was ego with each guy. She is the hamburger. He should want her. HE didn't. Dammit. He didn't. That hurt. I think the Peter type was the type she always went with and that was they type that never ended up giving her what she really needed and this time she didn't end up with that type. It was scary for her. JMO.

Not only that but he seemed to throw Rachel and Bryan under the bus and said Peter was the only sane one. I thought the couple usually had an interview?

That was a raw, heartbroken woman going out of her way to prevent the dude she REALLY wants from finding love on TV. #TheBacheloretteFinale

I agree with the that sentiment.  She seemed to go out of her way several times to say "this format isn't right for him."  She seemed bitter, and maybe rightfully so, but why rain on his chances?
