zoe06 wrote:I agree with a lot of people points and after listening to the podacst as with majority of the female bachelorettes, they take the scrutiny a lot harder. IMO i remember jojo saying how she would cry.  we have all discussed adn rachel alluded to it on Dean podcast that nothing bothers Bryan and that its harder for her to not focus on the negativity. Rachel admitted she is working on tryin to not clap back. IMO she's one of those peole that out of 100 good complements she only can focus on the one negative one.  That's just her personality. She has said on Nick's season that she is really sensitive and that's why IMO she kind of likes to keep her lawyer hat on sort of as a safeguard for herself.

IMO it was Bryan's idea to do the podcast with Dean. Byran noted how they speak about how the negativitiy affects them, which IMO meant more how it affects Rachel and he is trying to help her to learn to let go as her clap backs IMO aren't nearly as frequent.  As others have said and a couple of girls from her season with Nick have noted Christen (SCallop fingers) said how they had to teach Rachel how to use Instagram, and some of the rose boys have joked and called Bryan grandpa, and Rachel said then she had to teach Bryan how to use IG and now they are doing what I feel like they think they should be doing. Instead of what is comfortable for them. IMO  I noticed during the live how much Rachel said she was happy to not be filmed, I do think doing the live was Bryan's idea IMO and she just wants to be done.  You could see she was defensive and nervous before each question was asked and depending on the quesion if it was something that wasn't an attack then she settled and relaxed but when it was she clammed up again, IMO.

I agree with most people's account that they should stick to what they want because i do think a real love and foundation are there IMO and her defensive skills as a shield are having the affects and Bryan is trying to be the peacekeeper to mend fences, IMO as Bryan is seeing how much it affects her.  Vanessa said that Nick would try to get her so hard to let go of the negavity but is was really difficult, we all deal with it in our own way IMO.  I have always found that women who give off a very strong exterior usually tend to be the most sensitive because IMO the do that to protect themselves. I am like that so that is why I get Rachel   It took me sometime to learn to let it go  because the small negativity ate away at me and just made me even more on attack all the time, but that was something i had to work through.  

Sorry to get personal.

Now that it's dunzo, IMO he is mending fences with RnB who are moving to LA. But like others have said upthread, I wouldn't really trust him. He is built from the same fabric as the squad IMO and seems very fickle with his loyalty. All JMO
