Peter Kraus - Bachelorette 13 - Discussion - #10

Lol . Same girl, same

I didn't watch Rachel's season until the very end, but I did keep up with it in the different online forums so I knew about the 'Team Brian' & Team Peter' division. IMHO, watching only the last 2-3 episodes gives you a much more unbiased point of view. I know Team Peter fans won't like this but it was VERY obvious to me, that Rachel was totally into Brian. And I honestly didn't care who she picked because I wasn't emotionally involved. Peter is a great guy, but he was not the one for her. Just MHO.

I don’t know why out of blue Peter reached out to Rachel. If it’s just for BLM, can’t he go to his friends for some insights?

I also don’t know why Rachel brought it up ? Even thinking about following?
I love Rachel, her honesty and her , But IMO, somethings are better left unsaid. I just hope she had told Bryan before she broadcasted it to the public.

All Jmo.

@sdmom My impression of Bryan is he is OK with being in the background, and hence is probably the last to know when Rachel spews off on something.

I don’t see the big deal honestly. Like for me it’s a big deal because I loved them so much so I love them being friendly but the people actually involved should all be very over the situation & cool with everything by now. It’s been 3 years, Rachel & Bryan just celebrated a year married.

It did raise an eyebrow that Peter chose to go to Rachel for advice on this topic when he’s got best friends in real life that are black men but based on things he’s said over the years, I think he’s probably always wanted them to be on better terms than when they last spoke at ATFR & everything happening provided an opportunity to do that.

If Rachel kept it from Bryan prior to mentioning it on the podcast or Bryan had a problem with what Rachel described as just an amicable convo about the current state of America and what Peter could do to be a better ally, then that indicates bigger problems that Rachel choosing to share it publicly. But I don’t think either of those things are true.

All jmo.

I was Team Peter at the time, but by Switzerland even I could see that Rachel favored Brian. I watched that season unspoiled, and never really cared for Brian, finding him cheesy and smarmy. But those are not major faults, and I think Rachel made the choice that was right for her. Plus Peter does get in his head too much, and was nowhere near ready to marry at that time -- probably still isn't. IMO he's still one of the most handsome men the franchise has ever produced.

@Amethyst

I still have a soft spot for Peter. Bryan is never going to be a favorite of mine but they seem very happy so Rachel made the right choice for her. Re: Rachel talking to Peter - she's always going to say what she's thinking and I'm sure Bryan knows that by now. Kind of funny about the potential follows but agree with Rachel that it would have been a mistake.
