Nothing wrong with that. It's been sleuthed that he hasn't been back to his previous job, so this could be why. I don't think Bryan would be the one in touch of entertainment lawyers on behalf of rachel when they're not even supposed to tell their close friends they're engaged. If rachel is doing DSW, that will all be handled by ABC like it's been done before for other bach nation contestants. There would be nothing wrong with Bryan using this as a boost for whatever other aspirations he has. It may take away from some of the notion that he came for love and love only but don't we know at this point that is never the case with anyone? even the leads accept this roles knowing the incredible opportunities it provides outside of finding love. That's why I never judge any contestants or call them famewh*res cause no matter how you dissect it, It's a smart move regardless

in a recent interview Rachel said she was not against some hollywood gig (not verbatim) before going back to TX. It is indeed possible that he wants to change his career but IMO his MIA is more about getting his new license in TX. All bach couples are very much in demand to sell/represent products on their IG or else. It is no longer Rachel alone, it is Rachel AND Bryan. They are a couple and this is why they will get proposals IMO.


DWTS is indeed another option that could be included. a lawyer can represent a couple and individually each of them too IMO

For me it is quite inevitable that the couple will be solicited from everywhere. They will gain money and for that it is wise to get an entertainment specialized lawyer.

I agree and that would be smart but why would bryan be out here looking for a lawyer for him AND rachel when he's not even supposed to breath a word about being engaged to her? He should know better than that seeing as he is engaged to a lawyer. Let rachel handle it if it's for the both of them cause she can simply say I'm looking for a lawyer for me and my fiancé whose identity will be disclosed in a couple weeks.

Basically the three stars of this season. I don't think they're throwing rachel under any bus because what would the point be in that? They're posting things that get the most retweets and likes, which markets the show better. They're not gonna post things that people don't respond to. If the popular contestant was Bryan, you betcha he would be the one they're posting about. It's all marketing IMO.

I respectfully disagree. TPTB control the narrative on SM just like they do the edit. TPTB choose who to highlight and prop up and the SM audience fall for it and trick themselves into thinking it's THEM who are driving the machine when they are only falling for a marketing ploy that is set by TPTB. No doubt to me TPTB drives this machine and any SM viewer/contestant that thinks otherwise has taken their bait, hook line and sinker and is nothing but TPTB's target audience - thinking they have some control when they're just puppets.

Respectfully, I think you guys are saying the same thing? JMO. But also, as a marketer, I read that and it says the same thing.

but....you just described marketing, what I pointed out? so they're not out to get rachel, they're just marketing their business no?

AllAboutLove wrote:Welp, per the official Bette's tweet about Peter (Pachel), TPTB are roaring to drive the bus over Rachel, IMO. I knew this was going to happen before Rach even started filming. This is what TPTB do - build up the lead to take them down and sure as heck Rach is going to be taken down when/if she doesn't choose Peter and get SM fans of the show to turn on her even more. Heck, I've already seen so many Rachel fans on SM who have turned on Rach for some dude she has to ask to kiss her. It actually disgusts me. Same with their "we announced early to get better contestants for Rachel", Yeah, like that disgusting Lee? #SMH. I am sure it's all part of TPTB's plan to say "look we had our first black Bachelorette but the ratings are down and the fans prefer Madison Mannequin" so.... Please. As if TPTB didn't build it/plan it this way  


JMO

Yep....ITA with you @AllAboutLove.  Build up the male model white guy Peter from wholesome Madison, Wisconsin with the "perfect" edit....then throw Rachel under the bus as the first black Lead/Ette for choosing the "smooth talking insincere" latino man Bryan from sexy steamy Miami, Florida. Add in a southern white man racist with Lee.....and TPTB/MF get to prove that they know what America wants in a Lead. A white male model/trainer like Peter. TPTB are beyond transparent and totally disgusting IMO. This season has been edited to encourage racism, ageism, cultural location bias...the list goes on and on IMO.  

I hope Rachel and Bryan are assembling a wonderful legal and entertainment/future opportunity team separate from the Franchise/ABC. They both deserve much better treatment than this. IMO.

@FashionLover can CMIIW but from my interpretation, her post was stating that SM fans liking certain contestants impact what TPTB market/post and thus TPTB are just giving the SM fans what they want.

My post is stating that TPTB control what the SM fans like yet trick the SM fans into thinking they came up with it on their own and that TPTB are only giving SM fans what they want so SM fans have some control over TPTB. When IMO all the SM fans are puppets to the powers of persuasion via editing/SM by TPTB. Essentially, puppets who don't realize they're on a string and being played.
