Rachel Lindsay & Bryan Abasolo - Bachelorette 13 - Discussion

Wow, Sprite. I clearly haven't been watching long enough! I just didn't factor in the devil/producers enough. You're making me kinda scared to watch without you, my guardian edit oversight.

Yeah, many of us have been around here a long time and have been through similar scenarios. After the fact we find out that the producers urged them to come back, so you do end up getting just a tad cynical. Nothing is as obvious as they make it out to be. Always question what they are showing you because there is always a reason. They are very good at what they do. That's why the show has been on for so long.

A little off topic but the podcast with Kenny, sorry I forget who posted it and where it is, I listened to some of it indicated the producers were responsible for him going back to talk to Lee. He wanted to get in the heli and fly away with Rachel. He was kind in the way he explained it, but that's exactly what he was talking about.

Sleuthers can usually tell when it's producer influenced in different scenes.

I just saw somewhere else that Bryan trademarked "Dr Abs" right before he went on the show (march 6th)  . Everything about this guy is so yuck imo.

He is very very extra, that's for sure imo but at the same time, I think Rachel and all her walls need this type of guy and she seems to be thriving with him. I almost want to compare it to my babes Baddy and Jo, but with genders reversed. Where the girl and all her love/effusiveness and emotional reactions and resonance to everything in their relationship were able to bring the guy out of his shell.

I do like Bryan - I think he's been pretty self-deprecating, funny, and chill in everything I've seen post-filming and I do think he was the best option for Rachel, as he just seems to unconditionally love and accept her (which she needs), his low-key personality lets her be the star of the relationship (which she needs), and he seems to be a good balancing and calming force for her emotional and impulsive side. That said....I cringe every time see this Dr. Abs stuff. It's embarrasing AF. I don't know why someone won't tell him that. IMO.

Ugh. I hate when people compare this ugly (imo) union to couples I love

@ReneeM as I was typing that response, I envisioned what you'd think of it I'm not disappointed! That was a one and done

Maybe someone has told him, and he doesn't care. I bet for every cringe comment he gets tens of amused and hilarious comments. And I'm sure Rachel loves it. He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who let's peoples opinions waver him with silly stuff like this. Jmo

Please add more info if someone else can, thanks.

As long as he loves Rachel unconditionally I don't really care. So far they seem very happy and I am glad to see that.

The Dr. Abs thing is so

Of course he trademarked it before the show. The man always had a plan.

@Alanna I see it everywhere, comparing them to either Chres or Jo^3 and this is what goes on in my mind every time:
