Bachelorette 13 - Rachel Lindsay - F1-F6 - *Sleuthing Spoilers* Discussion

@ReneeM Thank you! Agree about Jack, I don't see any chemistry there either. Peter getting both the FIR and the first date was interesting to me. I'm going back and forth whether that means he'll an obvious F1 or if he's the frontrunner for the Bachelor. Personally I'm hoping to see an obvious F1.

@mercieme Thanks for the recap. With all the reading we do, I need those every once in awhile. That was perfect!

She didn't seem into him on their 1-1 IMO

Considering the kind of date they were saddled with, she was probably more concerned for her safety than making a connection with the poor guy.  She looked even more bored on her date with Jack.  Rachel would be a terrible poker player.  We didn't really get a full picture of that date though with Anthony. Maybe they displayed better chemistry once they got off their horses, .

It's also possible we're understimating someone like Alex or even Bryan.

I see Peter, Will, Jack, Alex, Dean and Bryan Peter would be F1 and the rest F2, etc.

Even before I knew Peter got the FiR, I thought he might be her frontrunner from him getting the first date. I know first dates aren't usually the winners (none of the F1's in my chart have gotten the first 1-1) but I remember her being unhappy that after her great night 1 connection w/ Nick, she had to wait until episode 5 for her 1-1. So I mentioned the possibility that she might deviate from the norm in that category.

Me excluding Bryan is more wishful thinking than anything. His comment on Ellen came off very cocky IMO and that's one of the few things Rachel's said when asked about her type, she absolutely does not want a cocky guy.

@ReneeM I think.you're right.  She gave the guy the double whammy (FIR & first 1-on-1 date)in the same week.  Rachel doesn't like to play games, and her doing that in the first week was her way of letting Peter know that she really likes him.

My final 6: Bryan, Jack, Will, Peter, Anthony and Alex.

I don't see her with Alex. JMHO

@mobyz Yeah I was just thinking about Bryan possibly being underestimated since he got the episode 5 date and that's been the pattern for the past few seasons of the Bachelorette though it doesn't look like the other episode 5 date is known or whether it's an ID or 2:1. I'm hoping that pattern is broken though and her first date guy Peter is the F1.

@ReneeM I wonder if TPTB let Rachel pick who she wanted on the first ID? I remember DeAnna saying somewhere a while back that TPTB let her pick who she wanted and that was Graham for her and he would've been her F1.

Strangely enough I can see her with him. I saw something when he was on Ellen. He was charming and a bit shy. And with his videos, he seems like he can be funny, so why not He's in my top 6.

@reason not as a F1, but a possible F4. We were discussing the top 4 for hometown dates. Dean and Anthony are both too young for Rachel. But I still think Anthony has a shot for HTD.
