-With that said, when watching the show, anybody can make a case for anyone they want to be their winner based on the edit. Because for those 3 weeks that the “Peter is the winner” spoiler was out there (which included his first 1-on-1 date), oh it was a no brainer. “Look at how much they’re into each other,” “They got the lovey dovey music when they were kissing on their date, it’s totally gonna be him, “They look so great together,” “No wonder she chose him for the first date,” on and on and on it went. It’s the same ol’ story every season. Those who like a certain individual can always make a case during what their shown on TV as to why that will be picked in the end. If Rachel had chosen Peter, there were certainly plenty of moments you could point to. If it was Eric, you could’ve found a way to make a case for him. But ultimately, they only choose one person and it’s a TV show. They HAVE to make it seem like there’s deeper connections with more than one person or else there would be no show. Whether it’s voiceover, spliced together scenes, whatever, they can make it seem like they’re into more than one person. And I’m sure Rachel was. But the level of crazy that’s coming from the Peter nut jobs is mind blowing.
-Take for example the final 3 rose ceremony. What’d Rachel say right before she approached and started handing out the roses? I’ll tell you: “I want someone who’s secure and knows what they want, and right now, that’s not Peter.” Yet, she gave the rose to Peter over Eric. Why? Because it’s a television show. They knew Rachel was picking Bryan. And they knew if it was a Bryan/Eric final, nobody would think she was picking Eric and there’s zero suspense. With Peter, you had that ordeal the night of their last date, and basically that’s all anyone is talking about now. But remember, essentially this SAME EXACT THING happened on Ben’s season. He told the final 2 girls he was in love with them, then chose one over the other. What was the response? “How can you propose to one when you just told the other one you were in love with her?” Are we forgetting what a sh** show that was and how much heat the guy took? Then what happened? About 18 seconds after that finale aired, no one cared anymore. He was happy with Lauren, the moved in together, and they lasted a year. So it’s really hard for me to sit here and dissect the Rachel and Peter relationship when ultimately – who cares?
-Why can’t it just be Rachel wanted a proposal at the end of this thing, and Peter wasn’t ready to propose to anyone. Why do the nut jobs have to say that Rachel made the wrong decision and she should be with Peter? Listen to yourself. Do you realize how idiotic you sound? You realize all the flawed logic in that statement? People like that aren’t living in reality, nor are they grasping the concept of this being a television show. Peter made it clear to Rachel he didn’t want to get engaged. Which he has every right to do. But that’s what’s so ironic about the whole situation. The same Peter crazies that call him a realist for not wanting to get engaged to someone he barely knows after two months and the same people that watch this show for a love story and to see an engagement at the end. You can’t have it both ways. The Peter nut jobs are pissed at Rachel for not understanding how the guy doesn’t want to propose after two months, which is fine. But leave it at that. The second you go into calling names, and she doesn’t deserve him, and she only chose Bryan because he’d propose, you lose all credibility. What about maybe Rachel chose Bryan because he was always someone she was into from the very first night of filming, he was open and honest with her throughout the whole show, she knew exactly where she stood with him every single second of his cheesy lines, and that’s why she’s engaged to him? Why can’t you accept the fact that maybe she didn’t want to get engaged to a guy who wasn’t as open, she cared about but was confused by his actions vs what he was saying, and just didn’t want to deal with that mess? Is that so hard? I don’t get it.
-Rachel said in her People blog today that when she went to Peter’s room that night, she knew she was letting him go. Period. End of story. So anything that happened in that room, to me, was just for television. Neither Peter and Rachel are professional actors. But when you’ve been around the cameras every single day for roughly 7 weeks by that point, and you have producers feeding you stuff and talking to you daily, you can’t tell me that Rachel had an idea of what that scene was going to play out like knowing she was letting him go. Doesn’t mean she didn’t like him, doesn’t mean she didn’t care about him. She did. Clearly. But she can like him and care about him but still go through with that scene and not have it be all about the ring. She said it on the ATFR and she said again today in her blog, it wasn’t about getting the ring. There were other issues. Maybe some that we were never shown, but the Peter nut jobs are crucifying her because their argument is making everything about the ring. And that’s just too easy of a fall back when you’re just pissed your guy didn’t win in the end.
-One last thing regarding the issue I have with the Peter nut jobs – you can’t reason with crazy. I already know their comeback to that last paragraph. “Well, she’s just saying that now to save face.” See, when you’re dealing with that, it becomes a circular argument that goes nowhere. Nothing you say is going to change their mind. I hate to bring politics into this, but we’re seeing this play out in our country right now. Nobody accepts facts anymore. It’s everyone’s own self truths. If you believe that Rachel didn’t come to the room that night to end things with him, even though she said she did, then of course you’re not going to listen to any other argument. You can’t accept what she’s saying because it goes against what you believe you wanted to or should’ve happened. And that’s just crazy. Rachel made a decision for herself on who she saw a future with. She didn’t see it with Peter and she saw it with Bryan. If Rachel wanted to be with Peter, she would’ve chosen him regardless of all the myriad of things that were said on the show.
