I'm again late to the party, but congrats to all sleuthers, you amaze me, great persistence and talent! @socalfan way to go!!! I'm so happy for Rachel and Bryan!

Interesting timing. Interesting developments.

All JMO

IA 100% ! Bryan reminds me a lot of Jordan. He was interested in Jo Jo before he got out of the limo, just as Bryan was with Rachel; he stole a kiss on the first night, just like Bryan did; he was into Jo Jo all the way through, very committed, affectionate, confident etc, just like Bryan is with Rachel. IMO, it's game over and Bryan is F1 for sure. Having said that though, I do quite like Rachel and Peter and I think he is very affectionate and loving with Rachel and this reminds me of Jo Jo and Robby. All JMO of course.

One thing I like and enjoy is that she seems just as happy now as she did back in May when she did her press tour then. Lots and lots of leads struggle through this time but Rachel seems secured and loved. I'm hopeful Bryan is following his word. I'm hopeful for these two.

all imo

That's what sealed the deal for me, when Rachel said her fiance is her rock and when she is weak he's her rock - this matches Bryan telling Rachel he'll be strong when she's weak and vice versa. This to me is one of the most important ingredients of a successful loving relationship.

The Holiday Inn image didn't help. I'm glad to see TPTB at least forked out for a nice villa for the lead and F1 to spend time in.

I thought that too. In Australia, they've all said they are sent to these remote places with almost nothing there which I guess means they really have to focus on each other and make their own entertainment !

It's this: Bryan "wins" by default, because Rachel was so much more into Peter than he ever cared, and consequentially reciprocated.

Imo no. Bryan got the FIR, and Rachel has been extremely into him from the start, and imo it has nothing to do with Peter. He messed up his chances of even being the contender, but even if he had done more, expressed himself more, been more affectionate, it still would've been Bryan. Imo suggesting that Bryan 'wins' by default, is ignoring how she acts with Bryan, and only seeing how she is with Peter. Imo Bryan is exactly what she wants and needs, an adult grown up man, who has no issues or hang ups about loving Rachel, expressing that love to her, and being ready to pursue a full on relationship with her. He's also very physical with his love language, and Rachel loves that.

Imo Peter is the challenging type, which Rachel is used to. She's used to the chasing and trying to peel layers from the man she's interested in. Bryan Imo is an open book, he's laying it all out there, and it's new to her. But it's welcoming surprise and change to her, and she loves it, did from the start. Jmo.

The house looks like it's in the Palm Springs area based on its style which is where many if the SHVs are.
