Rachel & Bryan Abasolo - Bachelorette 13 - Discussion - #3

But I don’t see any “hate” for them either on sm, people are mostly lukewarm from what I’ve seen, but seems to me she needs to be beloved so who knows how she perceives her social standing in Bach Nation eyes.

Omggg, no she didn't! Yikes, that's so embarrasing. I agree, they care very much what what others think. It was super obvious in her interview with Olivia when she kept being like "omg, I don't get why people call me a strong woman and then criticize me!" or "I hate that Bryan has gotten so much criticism!". They care. I just think that going on this show appeals to people that are already semi-narcisstic and the show just builds on that.

I actually do think she has a very passionate cult of people who think she's basically a goddess and Bryan/Rachel have the purest love in all of history and a cult of people who haaaaate her in a way that's weird and obsessive. A huge fight erupts everytime they're mentioned on reddit and there are a couple of IG accounts devoted to either hating them or loving them. I'm pretty neutral on them and it's weird to me that a pretty basic couple inspires that much passion. IMO.

@Diana
That may be, but I don't concern myself outside this forum. Just saying.
eta As someone who peaks their head in often enough to all the fan threads indiscriminately across the board, you can exchange one name pretty much with the next as far as I'm concerned. Seriously. JMOAA. 
And as GA said in an earlier post, I wish them all well. Why not? I can't figure out those that devote time or even entire forums to hate on them.

I definitely don’t think they should be shamed even if they do care what people think. Obviously JMO but it’s no different than any other couple from this franchise.

The funny thing, I didn't even vote Rachel as my favorite female contestant! I like the Rachel post-bachelorettes, who is with Bryan. They are currently my favorite couple.

Yeah, I agree that they're no different than any other couple. It was just a response to the argument that they don't care and never have cared. I do think tweeting a freaking Life&Style poll to basically ask people to vote for you is pretty embarrasing, but JMO.

Ok so I just had to go check for my own eyes to see that she retweeted it. OMG, that sounds embarrassing and desperate. If you are living your best life and you don't care what people have to say about you, why practically beg people to vote for you in some dumb poll? I really don't understand that. Just do you.

I didn’t know about the RT but yeah yikes... how embarrassing

I don’t even think they are winning said poll either lmao. How sad.

Eh. I don't think it really matters. IMO. There is so many humiliating things these couples do. IMO (that dumb televised ultrasound for Jash anyone?) Would I do it? No. But I would never go on this show to begin with or 99.9% of the other stuff these people do.

Haha, Jo3 fans came through! I am not surprised since Jojo has way more followers than RnB. What do they win anyways?

Nothing. Bragging rights?  Jo is literally Serena van der Woodsen of this franchise.

Blair was superior but I get what you're saying so i'mma let you cook.

Even though I am a big fan of RnB, I am not sure how I feel about Bryan’s new website selling weight loss products. I am in general weary of those weight loss stuff. But I guess now I know why he trademarked his name. It really is no different from others, IMO, who want to brand themselves.
Anyway, as long as he and Rachel are happy and he’s not doing anything illegal, I will still support them.
Jmo.
