So F2 ---- one has it all together (guessing B?) and one is more of a challenge (P?) - she usually goes for the one less put together, "BUT" ... in the end "there was only one I was really in love with".
To me that means she went B... ?

@Alanna yep, that's what I was thinking too.  I think TPTB have too much invested in this season to simply let RS spoil away again.  I have no doubt that for the next few weeks it's going to be all about Bryan, pushing his story while Peter is left out to pasture for a bit.  Makes for a more interesting season not fully knowing who her final guy is.

she says she chose between the guy who "has it all together" vs. the guy is "more challenging"
I have a hard time not imagining this being Peter vs. Bryan - I mean even Bryan's opening line is that he's trouble and she responded with her liking trouble. Whereas the convo with Peter was "you're so great...why are you still single" the edit is leaning towards him being the guy who has it all together and Bryan the guy who's trouble and therefore the challenge. Unless I'm missing something?

@emusha yeah I kind of thought that too but I guess it could mean established in life withe career etc which Bryan is.

In this episode Peter was definitely in the background the way Vanessa was after her early 1-on-1 and Bryan was everywhere and narrated a lot - much like Raven. It's also weird that the new RS spoiler comes out today and the edit had Bryan front and centre.

@brownravens She said nothing about career other than she wants the guy to love what he does?

@brownravens Hmm imo we haven't seen Rachel putting any strong value in the guy's income and job etc she only wants him to not be broke and to love what he does. I don't get an impression that by saying "who has it all together" she'd be referring to someone with a solid career. She hasn't mentioned the careers of the guys at all so far for example. So far we see her commenting most on the guy's personalities + how she feels around them and that being her main focus. all imo

The interviewer was making laugh he seemed so confused about the show lool..

Hmm what Rachel said

Typically I have found that I run away from the guy who has it all together but I always run towards the one that is a little bit bit more challenging, so here I am left with two guys faced with this exact same situation but when it came down to it I was only really in love with one one of them.

@emusha didn't she also say in the people article about running away from the perfect guy.? I don't know what to think lool as you can make arguments for both guys.

I also read or listened to an interview where shesaid she found her too good to be true. That would be the "all together guy" IMO

@reason I was just pointing out that it could apply to both men depending on how you slice it - IMO.

More of a general observation but I think the show has managed to accomplish something it hasn't in a while because of RS spoiling the show. It's actually much better than foiling him actually, because even if the new spoiler is right, there is so much doubt now in the audience that the spoiler(s) are pretty much irrelevant.

I also realised that so far Rachel posted insta stories while watching the episode in week 1 (in LA with whitney and dominique) and then last night's episode (at some viewing party I think). She didn't post episode 2 - so either she didn't watch or she watched it privately. Again this could go both ways - ie featured F1 so they watched together via phone/skype or F2 broke his heart and still feels bad.
