This is partly why I think Rachel has insecurities even where she shouldn't. She has said before that she was not the pretty one growing up. Now she is the bachelorette and on billboards and has fame and opportunities and a fiance, etc and her star is rising. I think if her sister is annoyed by this, then that's her jealousy of Rach speaking.

It's why I've said from the getgo R&B should move to LA or wherever else they want to. This idea that Rach and Bryan, both whom are in their 30s need to stay in their hometowns I don't buy at all. They know what their own lives entail and so they should live them accordingly and do what works best for them not anyone else.

Just as an aside: Bryan's family and relatives seem like the most supportive of the bunch! So much for any worries about them not embracing or loving Rachel. They already love her and facetiming and posting on SM how excited they are for both of Bryan and Rach and welcoming Rachel into the family.

More and more Rachel must be feeling she made the right decision for herself just like she said Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - SM Media - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion - #15 4256136633

My read is that rachel is trying to upstage Constance and did the show/chose Bryan because it's all about Constance

She could just be liking the fact that someone wished 39 years of marriage for Rachel and Bryan?

I know they find the show ridiculous, but you would think they would have her back with how much she was attacked, but it's been complete silence and liking shady comments. I really dislike the BIL (I wanted to scream at his condescending and sexist "You're being very emotional") and I'm getting weird vibes from the sister too now. Ugh. IMO.

Glad I'm not the only one that totally weird vibes from older sis. I think she is pissed she is having her moment in sun stolen (she is used to being queen bee). Well move over.

I am so surprised. All of Bryan's family, parents , friends have been so supportive and very welcoming of Rachel on SM(Instagram and FB). His cousin cried at the viewing party when they were showing the proposal. They have all been commenting "welcome to the family" and how they can't wait to meet her. It is such a stark contrast from the Lindseys

It's actually really wonderful how supportive and welcoming Bryan's family and relatives have been of Rachel. They just seem like very caring and stable people who have a lot of love to give and joy to share and can't wait to meet Rachel and are super excited about her being part of their family. That's how it should be! jmo

IKR!

Even if the Lindseys are not truly happy, I think they should still be supporting her and Bryan publicly and atleast giving him a chance. I think most (if not all) of the couples on the show have had their families on their side supporting them even when fans wouldn't. This is sad! no no

WoW. Is Constance annoyed because Rachel is engaged and wants a family of her own? At, MTP she was hostile to Bryan imo and I thought she was just being "thorough" for R's sake ! Now I'm thinking she didn't like him because he was going to propose and SHE liked Peter who wasn't going to --WHY--when She knew Rachel wanted a husband out of this? She doesn't want Rachel to get married . what kind of a sister does that? I have 3 sisters & I can't imagine sibling rivalry going this deep. I really feel sad for Rachel and I to agree with others that they need to leave Dallas. Bryan's family seems to be the supportive one now -- however ,I think they should go live in a different state.

Thanks so much for the new thread, @GuardianAngel!

WHUT is that comment? Why would anyone like that comment?! I don't... get it. Is there some kind of crazy sibling rivalry dynamic that is bubbling up now that Rachel has Bryan? Trying to "surpass" "the bar you set," seems like some jealousy/rivalry stuff. It really reads like Constance is threatened and not truly happy for Rachel-- again, who knows, but.. Yikes.

This is why I'm truly not even going to begin to judge Rachel right now, because I don't think we grasp the half of what's really fueling her. If your own sister is potentially jealous and acting this way. Lawd.

At this point, I don't expect to see her family at anything engagement party related, but I wasn't really expecting her parents, tbh, because R&B revealed that they're having some type of intimate dinner situation with her parents.

But now I'mma go ahead and add Constance to that list of.. do not expect. Lol.

Remember when people thought Bryan's family would be the issue? And yet, Rachel and Bryan are already cute with them and doing things like facetime-ing with his mom and dad even from the casino at Mohegan Sun and what not? And his other family and friends have shown support and all else? Just... sayin'.

One thing post-show, this might sound crazy, but I think it's honestly going to serve to keep pushing Bryan and Rachel even closer together, the hope was they'd do that naturally anyway, but these swirling pressures and conflicts might just be further enhancing that. Just a vibe I'm getting. Especially after she changed her response on changing her last name slightly.

During the season, she was keeping her name professionally but taking his name legally/personally. As of Monday, when asked, she was just... taking his name. Period. No qualifying statements. Maybe she still meant what she said prior, but... Idk, idk.

Constance, gurl...

by bleuberry Fri Aug 11, 2017 1:11 pm

I actually think it's about who she picked, considering the alleged tea that Connie told someone Rachel picked the one guy they didn't want her to pick. Unless Constance has been liking shady comments for months, since the beginning of Rachel's 'stardom.' Why start at the end of the journey?

by mercieme Fri Aug 11, 2017 1:15 pm

I remember Rachel said that her family had gone to do some research on Bryan (not sure her exact words) after his appearance on Helen and that's why they reacted the way they did with Bryan during the HTD.

IA that the family should support her decision but we have no idea what the family uncovered regarding Bryan, could be all the stuff already discussed here already. I hope the family shows up at the engagement party tomorrow though.

What a supportive sister. Not. And I thought Bryan's mother was an issue. Rolling Eyes

by Alanna Fri Aug 11, 2017 1:46 pm

I'm torn.

On the one hand, maybe Connie knows something we don't about Bryan and this whole thing of the show, and this is why she's being so, excuse my language, ugly, about this on sm.

On the other, maybe it's always been this negative juju in their relationship (the girls') from childhood and if so, explains why Rachel liked to pretend she's so tough, strong, basically doesn't need one and is now feeling safe enough to be all soft and girly because of Bryan, which she never had before. Which is super sad on so many levels then imo.

Very interesting regardless to me. Thanks for the continued drama laugh out loud
