Re the bold, i legit did the same calculation during pre-sleuthing and i even remember at some point thinking none of the black guys were going to make it to F4 until we got the spoiler that Eric got the 4th HTD. It's just the truth of how things went down and no big deal IMO. If she didn't feel it for the brothas, she didn't feel it, end of story. However i am legit looking forward to how she lets Eric go and how he takes it. Also curious how Rachel will address in post show media rounds because IMO she will get asked about it....all jmho.

Eric has the 1-1 tonight in Copenhagen, so we will see how that goes. Summary says that he will tell her he is falling for her.

I think Eric was spot on in his observation of her being more into white guys. Picture any of the prior leads having the first 5 1:1 dates with 4 blacks and one white. Wouldn't the white guys/women in the house notice this and comment that that lead is really into black men/women? I think it is totally normal! But I also loved what Anthony said, and Anthony is another of my favorites this season.

Eric takes his rejection (if there is one?) fine post season! His first day back he was on top of the world with his happy tweets!! Mr. Positivity! If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you!! #TeamEric

That said, if Eric is F1, there is trouble already because he is not going to like what he saw in the hot tub last night, and she has a lot of explaining to do.  So I'm kinda hoping he is not F1. A little disappointed in Rachel, I must say, but still love her, no one's perfect. Eric deserves a little more perfect than the woman I saw in hot tub AFTER the date with Bryan. Bryan is not going to be happy either if he is F1. And at F3, Eric may be feeling even more grateful today!

IDK. When Rachel says whatever she is thinking, she is applauded for being real and 'keeping it 100'. Eric is doing the exact same thing IMO. He might be insecure but if he is immature for speaking his mind, then so is Rachel IMO.

All JMO

ITA with your post @coolangel  

 Even Rachel herself wrote that Eric keeps it 100!  

Did ya'll see where Bryan commented on Eric's instagram yesterday 100 100 100? His latest motivational video.

hmm... a little concerned about Eric's latest tweet late last night: "All it took was patience." What does he mean?

So true, and didn't Rachel say the not many people liked her F1 but will eventually come to fall in love with him like she did (paraphrased)? I truly believe that Eric is beginning to fall in love with Rachel so let's see how their 1 on 1 goes. I always thought that Bryan and Peter were being prop as the next Bachelor (Bryan) and BIP candidate (Peter).

IMO, that's speaking without thinking. But imo, Eric thinks before he speaks so that when he speaks it comes from a "true" place. He's the type of guy that will keep it 100 with Rachel and that's what she seems to like about him. jmo

I don't know what difference it makes on how many MOC Rachel chooses to keep or let go, I don't think that way. My brain doesn't process that.

For Eric to keep tabs, IMO he dropped down a notch for me, and I liked him to begin with. I found that pretty rude and disrespectful to the ones she is keeping, regardless of colour. With that mind set, we might as well have the token contestant that this franchise is so well known for. This is why I'm looking forward to Eric's edit. I hope he's not the one.

I support people if warranted, regardless of who they are or where they come from.

His thinking came from a place of "is Rachel attracted to someone like me?" It is not rude or disrespectful to anybody IMO. We all have people that we are attracted/ or type to and I think it is valid to want to know if the someone is attracted to you. JMO

And I'm trying to figure out the significance of the Law Office work out.
