Becca’s finale being all happy and giddy and light, while hers was so depressing and confusing. All of the focus was shifted from her and Bryan to her and the insecure ex model turned personal trainer. She got a lot of sh*t this time last year for something TBTP milked, not necessary something she did or didn’t do. If Garrett hadn’t liked those pictures this season would be a breeze. They got lucky that brought some controversy.
But yeah they didn’t put Becca on the spot as much as the put Rachel, they didn’t make her watch the finale live (which I can imagine is very hard). IMO that’s a lil unfair. If I can recall they didn’t do Becca dirty once....Rachel got to deal with Demario, Lee , Peter and got dragged for all of them.
I get her frustration
All Jmo

ITA with you, and your last post as well. Good for her for speaking up and having the guts to put it out there again. As far as I'm concerned it's the truth. Her season created a divide so wide between the glorified gapped tooth model who loves himself IMHO and not the real love story that was there between her and Bryan. Those that sleuthed and were convinced Bryan was the F1, were also treated horribly right here on our forum.

IMO TPTB took advantage of the situation, knowing Peter would never propose, and at the same time, trying to get Rachel to get him to profess his love, which he totally was never going to fall in love with her. I don't care if she complains for the next 10 yrs, good for her. Yes she signed up for it and all that jazz, but so did every one else. I wish more would complain about the way they are treated or edited. I don't see why she should keep her mouth shut. That storyboard and editing, created a lot of SM hate after the FRC towards her and her F1 just because she didn't choose the F2. Quite a different story this past season.

Was her season marred from showing “the real love story” because Peter took up a lot of her time by becoming a focal point of her’s? Was it just editing or storyline ? Similar to Des and Brooks?

IMO Peter was no where near interested in Rachel, it looked like to me he couldn't even stand next to her. Rachel's focal point was Bryan, sleuthers knew it, but editing made it all about the one who wouldn't propose, Peter.

I think this stems from jealousy and insecurity over still not being an it couple, esp after thinking people were gonna love Bryan, not race or gender, and I say that as a fellow WOC. Their reception as a couple as a sore spot and I get why, but at some point you just need to move on and live that best life you were talking about, and not harp on your finale or Peter every chance you get. As with Kaitlyn, people were sympathetic until she doth protest too much, and Rachel is reaching that point

I love big Rach, but she is so out of touch in this article, she says Becca's finale was void of controversy. But Becca's WHOLE season was marred by controversy!

 I agree with you, @bleuberry

Further, IMO ABC is just covering asap for yet another failure to properly conduct due diligence to protect their Bachelorette. They let Becca be confronted with Garrett, an apparent bigot, Leo a soft porn star and alleged sexual harasser and Lincoln, an actual convicted criminal and she apparently knew nothing about any of it until her season ended and she had chosen Garrett. So now, her extreme happiness is both supported by people who love them for all the wrong reasons or, hate them for a side of him I’m sure she knew nothing about when she was falling in love with him. Nevertheless, Becca is soldiering on in a fashion I find admirable. 

Rachel has things she can be upset about if she wants to be stuck with no resolution because what’s done is done and I agree with those who believe she’s not going to get a Dream Wedding to fix it. I personally was disgusted with tptb for the lousy way they handled her actual proposal in a wind tunnel. However, much of the rest of what went wrong falls directly on her. She behaved like an obsessed brat and as much as I did and still do like her I just need for her to get over it and for both her and Bryan to return to real life. Bach Bubble playtime is over for them. It’s over for most of them. The smart ones have found a way to monetize their fifteen minutes. Good for them. There are no movie or, media stars created so far. Sooner rather than later it’s time to wrap up running in circles and implement a real plan. All JMO.
