So why didn't they didn't gave Rachel Lindsay and Brayn a $200,000 for a down payment on a house yet they gave it to Michelle and Nate I guess when you act like you're the center of attention like a daddy's girl who want everything that Daddy will give her but her husband won't even able to do that she got what she deserved I sweat boot off the shelf

I love that the Bachelor was finally being called out. I'm 100g behind Rachel and think she is the best bachelorette they ever had. ABC and Bachelor was lucky to have her.

I didn’t watch the Bachelor/The Bachelor/Bachelorette shows are just not for everybody. Bachelorette until Rachel was the lead and still I didn’t watch it that well. I’m allergic to certain shows. Especially the scripted unscripted messy shows. The episodes I decided to watch were interesting.

Eric Bigger is from Baltimore. Is that who Rachel is referring to?? Because he's not "hood" or anything like that. Why wouldn't producers want him on the show?

I like Rachael as well but I agree with you. I don't understand why she keeps justifying her choosing Bryan. And it's like 5 years ago. Also still degrading Peter and downplaying how she wasn't in love with him when we all remember her saying it to him even during their breakup. Some things just can't be faked and that includes the chemistry she had with Peter.

@sharleenmagetto5051 2 жыл бұрын

Also talking about her previous suitors on the show with so many years down the line doesn't make any sense. She should move on and just focus on her life. she chose Bryan, got married and she's now happy...good for her. Whatever Peter or the other contestants did is all in the past now

Michelle and her black boyfriend broke up as soon as the shop ended. I don't think they lasted 5 months. There were accusations of him cheating on her
