[@Raychelin]

I love how Bryan said he would work to break down her walls and allow her to realize that he was the man for her. When a man wants you, HE WANTS YOU!!! Love his patience and maturity as well whenever the Peter question is thrown their way. All the best, you two!

[@pams5418]

It really sucks that there was so much focus on Peter and the editing out of Bryan and Rachels love journey. I knew there was depth to their relationship based on Rachels intelligence and the connection I saw with them together. I only wished that it was shown, but I guess they left a lot out to keep the audience guessing who will get the final rose.The unfortunate thing is, the editing out set Bryan up for backlash from viewers.

[@4daluvofnikki]

Editing is always the issue with reality shows. Everyone on them says so. There is always something left out that would bring more clarity to a situation but for ratings sake its left out.

[@TrustinHewhoknows]

This is the most sober comment on SM yet....**round of applause**

[@jennhoff03]

Pam- Amen, sistah! That's exactly what I was thinking.

[@candidlyclaudian]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@sytycdvigirl]

Pam. So very true. And thats why rachel said she's sad that America didn't get to see the essence of who Bryan really is. I think because abc let rachel announce the engagement in advance they made up for it with the mind games editing.

[@destinedforgoodness6802]

Ladies know your worth and never settle for anything less.

[@tinacero6476]

Amen!!

[@lindasamuels1764]

I want to commend BUILD for doing an excellent interview with Bryan and Rachel. They focused mainly on Rachel and Bryan and not Rachel and Peter. Again, excellent interview.

[@s.a5531]

i literally have so much respect for rachel, they couldn't have picked a better black bachelorette to rep us black women

[@jennyswagly]

s.a 👏👏👏

[@cherylanne4988]

I totally agree.

[@saranwright271]

Hell yea

[@margaretharris4639]

s.a she’s gorgeous! Nothing wrong with her!

[@annechester770]

All good but she wasnt on there to represent black women..why cant we just think of her as a beautiful woman? Get tired of this black white shi but eric is fine.

[@tynalorenz6111]

I don't know who this interviewer is however she is EXCELLENT. The questions were good and meaty which gave the couple an opportunity to provide some non-superficial answers. I finished watching this interview and felt I came away knowing them better as individuals AND as a couple. This was my first season watching The Bachelorette and I was hooked on this particular segment. CONGRATULATIONS, Bryan and Rachel. Rachel: YOU made the WISE choice.

[@lynnierian7]

Watching them on this makes so much sense!! They really are a great pair and seem so happy! We did all love Peter, but Brian was always a good consistent guy who knew what he wanted. In the end, it's what makes her happy not what the fans wanted and this clearly has made her happy!!

[@michaelhoward9169]

Bravo interview by "Build Series". It was good to hear a more in-depth reflection of Rachel talking about Bryan and vice versa. You can see from this interview that they are not only in-love but there is a trust and mature bond between them. Again best post bachelorettte interview I have seen so far. Kudos also to the interviewer. She was very professional and ask quality questions.

[@thelmamaduka6848]

Michael Howard exactly great interview. the whole peter scenario is over done. like am boooorred myself. I see a strong couple. I see a guy who has found what he ever wanted and he worships her. all this default talk is crap. She would have had a miserable relationship with peter. Bryan is a man anytime

[@TrustinHewhoknows]

Michael Howard best interview yet💅

[@melanieinhobson3595]

Michael Howard, I agree. It's the best interview that I have watched & I've watched many of them from all these popular media houses. All of them were focusing on Peter, yet it should have been about the newly engaged couple. Yes the break up with Peter was intense so they were interested in asking about it, but the interviews should have been balanced by talking about Rachel and Brian as well.

[@wilheminatekyi-acquah7703]

[@yolandabrownlee5200]

I Feel that Bryan Abasolo and Rachel soon be Mrs Abasolo was Tailor made for each other by God. Sometimes we do think whats Best for us,but God knows what Best for us in Finding A Husband for His Queens. Okay I get I know what some of you are thinking. You sometimes have to Kiss👄 alots of Frogs🐸 before you Find your Prince👑. I am a true Fan of them Both. Bryan is so Sexy and Charming He Sernaded 💞Love❤ to Rachel every time he saw her and had no shame in doing it. He always from the Heart and Fought for His Lady Luck and now Blessed with a Wifey and Mother of his Children too be. We know what we Want and God knows who we Need. Congratulations Brarachel. 💞💞

[@Ninay9750]

I was rooting for Peter during the process..... but eventually, he turned like a different person for me. Rachel chose a great guy! Bryan is one awesome gentleman! My best to hem both!

[@Gemsal678]

Rachel totally made the right choice. I'm in my 30s as well, and single. At this point, women want a man who is self-assured and who won't play mind games. Her relationship with Peter was never solid. She and Bryan have a mature relationship. He has a career, he loves his family, and he clearly loves her. That's how it should be.

[@amaragrace94]

Hannah S. Amen to that

[@oluchi_assumani]

very true!!

[@danajohnson3348]

I for one always wanted a man who called me sloppy seconds on live tv

[@Gemsal678]

Dana Johnson - I agree, that joke was in bad taste. And maybe she grilled him on that? At the end of the day, actions speak louder than words. To be honest, I don't understand the Peter all-encompassing love. He never gave her what she needed. And she was right to choose the man who showed her love vs the man who couldn't demonstrate his feelings. Just my opinion.

[@sabrinagarcia4238]

EXACTLY PREACH 👏👏

[@artofjoy4418]

Finally someone who doesn't make it all about Saint Peter. I love Rachel and Bryan

[@olgakonzo606]

I don't get why people are criticizing her choice, she made THE best choice, she went for the man who wanted her. You don't go on a show like that to get a boyfriend. Plus, who knows if Peter was ever going to propose. That's pure BS, if you really love someone, you won't take the risk of loosing them. Finally the fact that he wasn't sure about her was a sign that they weren't meant for each other.

[@amaragrace94]

Couldnt have said it better

[@Adaeze_Nduka]

OLGA KONZO Well said!

[@Unusualgroophy]

preach

[@danajohnson3348]

It's more about how she's treated Peter since and for all the contradicting things she is trying to say now to backtrack.

[@enu1978]

OLGA KONZO perfectly said it was her choice and hers only. She made the right choice! Peter would have kept her girlfriend for 5 years and then some. Plus he seemed a little controlling

[@heathernewbold406]

Great interview that doesn't focus on Peter the majority of the time!

[@nicelagirl]

Exactly! I hope they go the distance.

[@micheford5687]

[@joshsmith7802]

99% of comments: I initially liked Peter Bryan is cool now Peter wasn't right for her

[@monicawalker32]

Rachel picked the right guy. Peter is a time waster.

[@IVYSTARR-i3k]

TROLLLLL GO BACK AND REWATCH RACHEL SEASON AGAIN.

[@IVYSTARR-i3k]

Leave Rachel alone!!! She married a man WHO WANTED HER AS A WIFE AND ALL BLACK WOMEN SHOULD FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE. Again you are a trolll with HATE!

[@IVYSTARR-i3k]

By the way, go rewatch her season!! Bryan received the first rose, the best dates, the best fantasy suite overnight date, the EXPENSIVE MATCHING WATCHES, being greeting HI BABY by Rachel, meeting her best friends and being defended by Rachel at the family hometowns. SO NO, PETER THE UNCHARISMATIC GUY WAS NOT THE FIRST CHOICE AT ALL.

[@kennettabradford6566]

@Penn Hanlon you racist prick! Go play in traffic!!!!!!

[@vsights]

Ben told 2 of the final girls that he loved them but when Rachel did it it's a problem? I'm glad she picked someone that WANTS to marry her, instead of a man that needs to be told to propose. Let them be happy!

[@janicebrown-woods6549]

If you rewatch the episodes with Peter, you’ll note that overwhelming Rachel instigated any real intimacy. Peters’ kisses were surface nothing even close to the depth and control that Bryan showed. I liked that Bryan liked to control the kiss, thus his hands on her face. Loved that. Peter was doing peeking kisses. One of his hand was in his coat pocket during s very fireworks emotionally, romance filled scene. I’m not sure he was sincere.

[@swazidlomo3987]

i cant stop smilling..wow gorgeous couple

[@LinnieMWimes]

Ladies get real Peter was playing head games with Rachel and he's played those same games before with other ladies he admitted that on a date with Rachel where he left another woman crying tears running down her face. Peter knew before going on this season of the Bachelorette what the men were there for. He never had any intention of proposing to her and I thank God Rachel chose Bryan who was very sure about what he wanted not whining and didn't know his own mind. Peter was the player, so glad Rachel realized it. Team Rachel and Bryan all the way.

[@pelisaphilamandondo4329]

Linnie M. Wimes Check on Twitter, the story he told of that women was false. It’s all over although he’s denying that his ex wants to destroy his reputation. So the ex sent their text messages to Reality Steve before he went to film Rachel season. He immediately went back to her and they were watching the airing of the show together. He was believable when he told the story. Bryan got a backlash for fake Peter

[@JM-bt1jq]

Great interview all around - host, guests, audience. Thoughtful questions and thoughtful responses. Thanks. Rachel and Bryan each seem to have good self-awareness and self-acceptance. Being honest with yourself and knowing what you desire is key in any relationship. Being able to communicate that with grace is a gift. So glad Rachel chose someone with the ability to do that and someone with the self-control and confidence to stay focused on developing a relationship with her and not get caught up in drama. A good husband needs those skills! Bonus that his affection is consistent and seems to come from an emotionally mature place. Rachel made a healthy choice.

[@catbenson7642]

Peter is like that Movie!! "He is just not into You!!

[@mersikatrina2942]

totally agree with you! attention to all peter worshipper, please please watch a movie "He's just not that into you" and you will understand. just watch the movie!

[@sytycdvigirl]

Cat Benson. I've been saying that all season. From the first one on one date, they were kissing and his hand was in his pocket. LOL. And nothing transpired between them all season to change my mind.

[@ROSE_reddy]

Love2Dance some men are shy, I remember when he kissed her and finally held her face❣Bryan was a tiger from the start-I've never seen anything like it! 👀lol ( that's what Eric called him on playback)

[@velvet123]

Cat Benson lol for real and so many dumb chicks get played.

[@catbenson7642]

velvet123 .......Yes, Love is real, Love is kind...and when he told her to live some Mediocre life???? He was right..What's Wrong with Me..his quote!!

[@uncachalot]

She is a GREAT interviewer.. bringing depth to a reality TV show and substance to the journey that two real people went through.

[@melody11519]

The interviewer is very professional

[@blackloislane3285]

I am so happy Bryan & Rachel ended up together. He was my first choice although I did love me some Peter. Bryan is the obvious choice. He clearly loves her so much.

[@supermilkguy]

Bryan is very handsome

[@melissajohnson-eb9vj]

Best interview ever. Thanks for not focusing on Peter.

[@cuteaisha8605]

Bryan! I'm a smitten kitten. He's such a beautiful person. See how he's with her? How he treats her? What a catch?! I was smitten by him but ever since the finale, I'm in love with him. And because Rachel chose the perfect guy and also the perfect guy for her, I've got nothing but respect. I wish them all the happiness. He's such a catch and she's such a catch, hope they both appreciate that more everyday. Peter is so rude! Why did he come to the show? Did the same thing he did to the last guy. I was just happy that Rachel wasn't going to chose. I caught on that when he told her that they (Peter and Rachel) will regret the break up. She told him no. Then when he told her whether she'd chose him in the end and told him she can't tell him...if she was as desperate as some folks claim, she would have told him. That's when I knew she just wanted to fix the last Peter she dated.

[@kuromi9197]

Bryan was my choice from day one! Sexy, handsome and very intelligent!

[@samaradp]

Bryan is such a gentleman. Love him.

[@itsasia_]

He is

[@rachaelnelson3702]

Can not wait to see their wedding this Dec

[@zenikasimons2159]

Amazing interview! In some of her other interviews she was clearly tired of the Peter questions..and I don't blame her!

[@divergent1167]

Bryan please take good care of my girl Rachel and prove everybody wrong! I'v never been a fan of "You had me from hello!" I like Peter but his indecision was his undoing. I believe Bryan and her are good together n wats more ? he's Columbian, I like Colombians. Also in marriage it's always better to have someone who cares for you more than you do for them. Especially for the ladies. Wish them all the best.

[@nsam1331]

Daintyn17 Smith wonderfully put

[@yolandabrownlee5200]

I am Truly a Fan in the Love Department. I think Bryan and Rachel are Soulmate. Sometimes you have to step out into the Unknown of Familiar Places and Comfort zones to Find you Good Thing. A Man Findeth His Wife Finds a Good Thing.

[@sytycdvigirl]

Great job to the host of this show. This was a really great interview! Such good well-rounded questions. This really showed their bond as a couple. Loved it!

[@silvanaarellano2839]

Wow so mature...I love this guy ! Way better than that damn Peter

[@Samaris.W]

I love Rachel and Bryan together, Glad she didnt pick Peter. Wishing them the besst #TeamBrachel

[@ValarieCole]

most women who desire LOVE ...... can appreciate how Bryan looks at Rachel.....holds her....hugs her.....smiles at her....talks about her and of course kisses her so affectionately... I think their relationship is real BASED on the scenes with their individual families!! Both families are NOT FOR THE FAKE Hollywood foolishness....... I'm happy for her.... for him.....for THEM!

[@annechester770]

They've had a lot of practice.

[@thelmamaduka6848]

I liked Bryan from the get go and seeing the way he handles himself and gushes about Rachel that's a MAN. He adores this woman and believes she is the best thing that has ever happened to him. And he wants to do right by her. that's a great catch big rach. you did good!!! peter who?

[@TrustinHewhoknows]

Rachel's makeup looks amazing. I love the dress too.

[@Fast_and_Cool]

I liked Bryan before but now I REALLY like him! He seems very mature, and down to earth. I can see that he truly loves her. I think that people judged him unfairly. I'm pleasantly surprised by his positive attitude after all the hate that he's been receiving. May God bless their love.❤

[@FutureSoapStar09]

I love them!!! This is probably my favorite interview of them together. She seems so happy and in love! I hope they last! I know Bryan seems to really want them to.

[@melanieinhobson3595]

Erulastiel , I see that about Bryan as well, yet throughout the season some people have been calling him a player.

[@yetundemojeed440]

Absolutely I trust Bryan with their love, he will make it work. She is really happy with him and they don't fake their answers

[@mjde2445]

Yetunde Mojeed - What do you mean Bryan will make it work? I thought relationships were a two way street? Even if it's true he loved her; which I doubt, it doesn't mean that she loved him. People often hear what they want to hear but if you were paying attention you'd know that Bryan was not the man Rachel loved & hoped to be with. Her body language told the whole story. She behaved very differently around Peter than she did around Bryan. She even thought of Peter when she was with Bryan but when she was with Peter she forgot about everyone else. If that wasn't enough her feelings were obvious in her words too. Rachel said on the finale, 'do I take a chance with the man who's in love & wants what I want or the one I feel strongly for but who isn't ready to propose at this time?' If she loved Bryan it would be a no-brainer; she wouldn't be talking about 'taking a chance'. Likewise, if she wasn't in love with Peter, why would she even consider taking a chance on someone she knew wasn't ready to propose to her? As she had done throughout the process, she followed her heart & that led her to the man she loved, Peter. Otherwise, why have a three hour argument, sob-fest & make-out session with him over the logistics of their relationship? As she told him, her fear was that he may not be as committed as she was. Did you ever hear her tell him she she had stronger feelings for someone else or that she was at a crossroad & struggling to figure out which way to go? Nope! But that is what she told Bryan. Again, why would it be a struggle if she wasn't in love with Peter? She knew Bryan would propose; without a doubt. If she loved Bryan so much, she would have just enjoyed her last date with Peter then happily moved on to an engagement with Bryan. Okay, so she says goodbyes are hard but did she have a hard time saying goodbye to Bryan after their last date? Uh, no! You could say she wasn't sad because she was going to choose him. If that were the case, why tell him she's at a crossroad & create doubt in his mind? Why not just enjoy the evening? Actually, what Rachel told Bryan that night sounded like she was preparing him for a big letdown the next day because, at the time, that was her intention. At the proposal she looked less than enthused & again her words & actions gave her away. As usual she was thinking about Peter & wondering if she was doing the right thing. She looked miserable until he dropped to his knee & she saw the ring. She was more excited about that ring than she ever was about Bryan. Okay, so you may be thinking, that was then, this is now. As you said, she made her choice so surely she's in love with Bryan now. They've had all that time together & she's saying she's happy, so she must be, right? Again, no! If she had since fallen in love with Bryan why would she still be as frustrated & upset with Peter all these months later? Why would she care now that he wouldn't propose then? Why would watching their breakup still be so painful for her? Why would Peter saying he wouldn't have done anything differently that night bother her? She even said it, there's no denying she loved Peter... but what matters most is what she didn't say about loving Bryan. When Chris H asked her when she knew it was Bryan she said 'some would say it was when I had to defend him to my family'. Hmm, that's an interesting deflection! Some would say? I thought he was asking you, Rachel? That was her lawyer speak. You can lie without really lying. She goes on to say how she thought Bryan was her best friend. Uh okay, really? I didn't know you were looking for a best friend. It's great to be in love with your best friend but she never used the word love with regard to Bryan or in deciding she would be with him. When she said it, Bryan's face looked like he knew it was a sham. They're both faking it. If the feelings of love weren't still there for Peter or if she had found love for Bryan, it wouldn't have been so hard for her to see Peter again. When Chris asked her if she was ready to see & talk to Peter, she said no but I have no choice. That's because she was scared. She wasn't sure she could hold it together & not get emotional. In fact, when he sat down they were kind of close but she scooted away because she could still feel the energy between them & because she wore that low cut dress for him & wanted to make sure he got an eye full. Also she got a little teary a few times as she sat there listening to him say he still cared deeply for her. She gazed at him with love & regret in her eyes. And, what was up with her touching his leg? How was that necessary? Clearly, she's still very much in love with him & who can blame her?!

[@samara7938]

MJ De preach it sister, Rachel is a manipulator because she's now with Bryan and she is trying to change the narrative of the show. Bryan is not stupid and time will tell. Her throwing shades is annoying. Similar stuff happens during Desiree season but she was honest with her husband now chris before they got engaged. Rachel is working so hard to change things around but everyone is buying it.

[@yetundemojeed440]

MJ De Pls stop writing all this long story because you think you are right, he will make it work that what I said, he will and they going to be happy. You don't need epistle to explain everytime pple say what you don't like, you are entitled to your opinions, same thing goes to everyone.

[@blauresyt3]

They do not show everything that happens on the show Rachele said. They just show us the edits and cut a lot of parts just to catch our attention. If you go back and watch how Rachel and Bryan were so in love from the beginning you will understand. They may have decided on the show to keep Peter for the rating. It would have been too easy to know who Rachel would have picked if Peter was sent home earlier. Her relationship with Peter was a kind of akward. The way Peter was kissing Rachel was so awkward. It was as if he was kissing a girl friend and not a girlfriend. Almost as if they are sharing just a friendship kiss. It was not passionate at all like the kisses Bryan and Rachel were sharing. I believe that Peter was not in love with Rachel. He probably liked her but he definitively was not in love with her. He doesn't need to hide behind this I am not ready for proposal thing because he doesn't seem like a guy who wants to be married. He like being single and have a girlfriend and kids. His mom even said that in one of the episodes. Rachel was a little sceptical of Bryan at first and that undertstantible because he is so handsome and such a good catch that it felt like it was too good to be true. She said it several times. But unlike Peter, Bryan was not afraid to propose. I mean if you like it put a ring on it. Show me that you want to keep me. Being engaged or having a fiancé is like being in a serious relationship with commitment. I totally understand Rachel and what she meant by saying she wants a proposal. She didn't mean let's rush into marriage tomorrow but want someone who cares enough to secure their relationship. For some people being engaged may not be a big deal but for others it is. I totally understand Rachel. Just like for some people kissing is not a big deal for others it is. Bryan and Rachel kisses were very passionate and that show the love they have for each others. Peter couldn't do that because he was not in love with her. She gave him (Peter) a chance to prove to her he loved her but he couldn't. I admired him for that. At least for not giving her false hopes and wasting her tome. But he don't have to be rude by saying she was going have a mediocre life because she was strong enough not to follow him in that endless boyfriend-girlfriend relationship he was offering her. Come on Peter. I will be mad myself. So I see why Rachel is a little cold with him. Not because he didn't propose but because it trying to manipulate the situation. Or not wanting Bryan to have a chance with her. I wish Bryan and Rachel a HAPPY and BLESSED couple life. To Bryan please do not let all those negative comments change your love for Rachel. She picked you for a reason and you have always been her FIRST pick!!! GOD BLESS YOU both 😘😘😘.

[@TrustinHewhoknows]

maybe he likes options

[@sytycdvigirl]

blauresyt3. I enjoyed reading your post.

[@enu1978]

blauresyt3 I love your comment I swear me and you were literally watching the same show I came to the conclusion that Peter was not into her in episode six he was just using her to get far along so he could become the next bachelor because I top 6 is for a contenders for the next bachelor such a shame I wanted her to let him go even before Dean but he kept pulling her along but it doesn't matter now Rachel is happy with Brian.

[@blauresyt3]

Thanks. I apologize for the typos. 😄

[@PATTY14700]

Remember how Peter starting stringing Rachel along.Just before meeting her family, he told her he's falling in love, and just before she gave the roses to the final two, he told her she he's in love with her. All mind games. Annoying.

[@brennawood4045]

I feel like Rachel thinks she has to justify herself for her decision and if so that's not fair to her. I was team Peter but I'm not going to bash her for her decision.

[@cayleyish7357]

Out of all the relationships that was produce by this show, I hoped this relationship last.

[@CJP223]

Best interview of Rachel and Bryan that I've seen! Thank you for getting to the heart of these two. I wish them all the best.

[@benoitrafeli8320]

They're cute together!

[@jovalfarzar3034]

This is one of the best interviews I have seen. Here is one person who, whether or not she had a preference, allowed viewers to get an unbiased view of the couple. If she has commentary on them anywhere, I'd like to read it. I suspect it will be more accurate than much of what exists.

[@melanieinhobson3595]

Jovalfar Zar , I have seen many of them & it is the best and not one of the best, for me.

[@CJP223]

Yes. It does help that it is the longest one I've seen. They others felt rushed and they focused on the drama more.

[@TiMalice2009]

Not understanding the Peter love he is boring AF

[@lighteyes214]

I think they might actually make it. They seem we'll matched. Good for them. They make a gorgeous couple.

[@jovalfarzar3034]

This is the best post- season interview that I have seen. This interviewer was definitely well acquainted with the issues, and viewed them realistically, not through a fanatical haze. How could anyone with even half a brain fault any lady for opting to be someone's queen, rather than another's friend with "benefits." When the lady in question is a well educated, intelligent, classy, sassy attorney, not even an alcoholic haze would cause her to choose a person who was, according to his mother, ready for children and a family, but not for a wife. The truth is that had Rachel been allowed free rein, she would not have discovered that because that hometown visit would not have occurred. Some people seem to have commented without understanding or knowing all that was aired. The franchise's desire for drama and suspense skewed reality, but even then, there was enough evidence that things were not what they seemed to be. 1. Look at the ring purchase scene. Bryan is wearing exactly what he wore to meet Rachel's folk. The room he enters is not the room Bryan occupied in Rioja. 2. Rachel said in response to Chris Harrison's query, that she knew her choice when she told her family that Bryan is her best friend. 3. Only Bryan met Rachel's friends who had induced her to be.on the show. 4.Bryan never received a date card. Rachel herself informed him of his one-on-one dates. Both times she did it, the others commented thar her relationship with Bryan was outstanding. 5. Except for the third rose ceremony, Bryan received the first rose if he did not already have one. He received the group date rose on the largest group date. Added to those facts are these: 1. The franchise orchestrated the first date with Peter. 2. After the initial meetings Rachel commented that Peter was handsome. After Bryan she said, "I like trouble." 3. Both of Bryan's one-on-one dates are usually front runner dates. All the afore-mentioned clues were plainly aired during the season. When you add information gleaned after the ATFR aired, any rational person realizes that the franchise's goal was not to highlight the growth of a genuine love relationship, and crafted a show accordingly. Rachel and Bryan recognized each other as soul mates, and did what they had to do to give Mike Fleiss et al the drama and suspense they sought. The love of Rachel and Bryan for each other did conquer and continues to soar over the machinations of producers, schemers, and dishonest suitors.

Jovalfar Zar So well said. I also feel she always doubted her relationship with Peter. I feel she was forced to keep him as he was the fan favorite to increase the viewing ratings of the finale. Listen her Podcast with Olivia Caridi. The Reality Steve spoiler as well that was going around that she was engaged to Peter until Steve realized that Peter was with his girlfriend after filming. The girlfriend who dropped him for casting for Rachel season. Unbelievable. It’s all over the internet

The more I read comments from Peter's fans the more I lose all faith in humanity.

[@bettyachieng726]

A year later, I realize I was thinking with my hormones when I was pining for Peter on behalf of Rachel. I now realize Bryan loves her deeply. Wishing them all the best..

[@dolliebush8735]

I think it was unfair for Rachel to sit on stage for three hours and watch her dates with those guys , did any other bachelorette have to do that ...

[@valeriebanks8877]

So everyone fell for the peter fake crocodile tears 🤣 so pathetic , it was such terrible acting and It made me cringe . He never loved her but he was good with making her love him . He just wants to live his HS dream of being the bachelor

[@queenadereign1600]

I honestly hope I find my Bryan in a world full of Peter's because if you were doubting them before there is no reason to now. In every interview since u could clearly see the love they can barely keep they're eyes off each other. Also what a professional and fun loving interview the interviewer genuinely seemed happy for them which I love❤️❤️

[@ruthy9575]

Queen AdeReign Best comment ever !!!

[@Unusualgroophy]

same boo

[@amaragrace94]

Exactly. Why wouldnt I want a man that professes his love for me and knows I'm the one FROM JUMP. Didnt Peter say his parents fell in love and got married quickly. Peter and Rachel just werent meant to be.

I hope the ppl understand it's not about who u like for her it's about the life they would have after this show is over.we wouldn't have to go through the things she have to through.. so I give props to Rachel for her smart and hard thinking decision

[@zrlazard]

Peter crazies are so delusional. They couldn't see the forest for the trees. Every season the producers zoom in on 1 contestant to edit into the fan favorite/upcoming lead position. Anyone with 2 eyes & a brain willing to look past Peter's good looks saw that's what they were doing. They did it with Rachel on Nick's season (wasn't that hard to like her since she was way too good for nick) and they did it with jojo(again it wasn't too hard to like her either since she was probably the most broken hearted runner up in history). Peter came here for exposure and got it. And started to make it too far & began searching for a way out. Anyone so "logical" wouldn't come to find love on a reality tv show where the end game for almost 20 years has been a proposal. Shoutout to Bryan. He came for her and got her. Never wavered. I feel bad they gave him such piss poor editing. Congrats Rachel and Bryan! I wish yall the best.

[@4daluvofnikki]

I am saying this as a person who never watched this show ever. I have only watched interviews of Rachel, But it would seem odd that you would apply to be on a show you knew the end game is a proposal. Peter had to have ulterior motives.

[@danajohnson3348]

Bryan didn't come for rachel LOL. He had no idea who the bachelorette would be. You are just as delusional if you don't think they aLL ago on the show to promote themselves. Peter didn't expect to fall for rachel and he did. He wanted to think of how they could make it in real life, since MOST of these proposals do NOT work out. They propose just for the hell if it for the show.

[@sytycdvigirl]

Actually they do know who is bachelorette. Eric mentioned running into Rachel at the gym in LA where he trained after he was cast. So, they know.

[@zrlazard]

Dana Johnson of course they propose for the hell of it! That's the point of the whole show. Always has been. A big rock you don't have to pay for! I'm not saying that's not crazy. But someone who knew the point of the show & then came on & tried to act holier than thou "I take proposals seriously" was sketchy. So does every other normal person. So why the hell are you on The damn bachelorette?

[@lilygrace6689]

Dana Johnson Nope actually Bryan applied late. His friend nominated him once they found out it was Rachel. Check the friend's instagram. Peter is the one who wanted to be the bachelor since high school. Not Bryan.

[@briannabritt4517]

Im Not team Bryan or team Peter... im team Rachel whoever makes her happy :)

[@meoerhum4579]

They both shine good education & good upbringing, love they both.

[@tienlu5110]

Peter is dramatically terrible guy! I was so frustrated by his conversation with Rachel last night! He couldn't say a right word and a direct answer towards the host and Rachel. He was afraid of facing the fact that he's fake who is hiding something. When she asked my that if he loved her, he said that he had a feeling with her. Seriously, Wth!!! It's ridiculous! I was genuinely excited about Rachel and Peter reunion, but he was disappointing me so bad. If he wasn't able to love her that much to give her a ring, he would have left in the middle of the show or some to give other people chance to be with her. He looked so pathetic last night.

[@patricoamarcel2621]

Tien, Bryan was Peter's achilles heel, he was obcessed with Bryan, and his intention was to sabatage Rachel and Bryan's relation to punish Bryan, He was not going to propose, but he despise the man who wanted to do what was expected of them. Find love and propose. Do what they signed a contract to do. He played Rachel , but thank God she did not settle for his devious manipulation. He wanted to punish the "confident ballsy Miami swagger doctor He tells Rachel, We will have a good life together, I dont want to lose you, I cant lose you, I am not ready to lose, I am not ready to propose, I am not there yet, because a proposal and engagement to me is like a marriage and I only want to do it once. I will do it for you if that is what you want" this is not love, . It is mind, emotional, and psychological Manipulation at it's worse. Eventually it will turn into, "You made me do it, I did not want to do it . When Rachei turned down his proposal, he told her to " go live your mediocre life, If you change your mind, you know where to find me." that was from the man who was professing all that love for her.. It is an insult, it is demeaning, desrespectful and not complimentary. He would have never married her had she settled for his step down alternative. His crocrodile tears did not impress me , he was the one who insulted Rachel and was playing the victim. He played a game and lost, God intersepted, I saw the same tears with Nick on Andy session When Bryan's mother stated, this morning I went to mass, and I ask God that if you are the one and Bryan is happy, I am happy. I know the Lord had been brought into their relationship. Rachel is also from a religious background. they will make it in God's name, Peter needs to have his thinking process in order to be the bachelor. They will not sign him up if he is no doing to comply with their process

[@pelisaphilamandondo4329]

Tien Lu please go to Reality Steve in Twitter and look at Peter’s text messages to his girlfriend before going to Rachel season. He was never attracted to Rachel, he said it’s one and only opportunity for him to boost his business and he will use his looks etc. I was disgusted. Thank God Rachel saw through that even though she had strong feelings for him. She quickly realized that it was gonna be a toxic relationship.

[@maureenmucureezi7099]

Patricoa Marcel i wish people read and heard those words and not obsess over some cute guy crying...!!! Eish terrible exhausting guy

[@juliettejohnson5449]

Congrats guys I knew it would be Bryan blessings on your journey

[@idontcare0953]

You know, at first I wasn't the biggest fan of Bryan, but having an analytical lawyer mind myself I believe Rachel when she says that she really grilled him. Sometimes people are not what they seem initially, and there probably was some truth to ABC grooming Peter to become the next Bachelor. We'll see what the future holds but right now they both seem set on each other so I wish them well.

[@myemounangwegni8300]

I'm so glad people are not attacking them in the comment section, people need to realize Rachel was the 1 who dated these guys she knew who the right 1 for her was. It was Bryan and I wish them nothing but the best.

[@angelicadalzon9348]

Aw I love them together! I really was such a Peter or Eric fan but they genuinely seem so happy together and Bryan may be cheesy but she likes that and I'll always be #TeamRachel

[@Tootallqaf]

Very good interview. Saw their connection from the beginning. Happy for them and wishing them the best.

[@gottas33]

Peter just wants to be the next bachelor, and if he is I guarantee he will propose. He just needed an out on Rachel's season by sending in the biggest red flag "not being ready to propose". If he is in fact the next bachelor they'll probably make the ending really dramatic. Allude to Rachel's season and how he was so unsure and continue that story line until he ends up proposing.

[@abigailmalabi633]

When Bryan stepped out of the limo I felt he would be an amazing man to get to know. So glad you chose your perfect man Rachael. You both make the perfect couple and we can't wait for your beautiful Winter wedding, Please let ABC air it, and let Chris Harrison have the honor to marry the both of you on Live TV, @--)-------

[@tiram3253]

At first I was upset that she didn't pick Peter, but now it's beginning to be clear to me that she knew what she was doing. And all season long she was giving us a LOT of clues that Bryan was the one. I do believe that Peter was in love with Rachel but he couldn't accept that Bryan was his main competitor - and thus his hubris prevented him from doing the most to keep Rachel. However, it is clear now that the producers edited the show to make Peter the sweetheart and Bryan the sleazebag.

[@Astrology4_Black_Girls]

[@pelisaphilamandondo4329]

Tira M, I wonder how abc is gonna react to the text messages he exchanged with his girlfriend who dropped him for casting for Rachel season. He said it was an opportunity for him to boost his business and also make money for him and his girlfriend. I hope he doesn’t become a bachelor and break more hearts. It’s all over on Twitter, the text messages

[@LillyTL]

Interviewer is very good.

[@TheCStaff]

That was an amazing interview! You directed the conversation extremely well and great job asking all the questions everybody wants to know the answers to!

[@angel007sherm]

This is the best interview I've seen of these two, and yes I have been watching them all! You really see the chemistry between them that honestly anyone should be able to see. We saw a lot of manipulation of our own thoughts and feelings from the producers. I could almost see the lines of editing that made certain people look better than others, and I don't even work in tv production, yet. Still this is like Luke from the other season, who everyone loved and wanted to be The Bachelor over Nick. Something is just not right there with Peter. I don't think he is a bad person but I don't think he truly knows how to pursue a woman that he loves. Pursuit should be from the beginning till the end, not when you are about to lose them. I'm shipping these two across the sea and back again. In retrospect we should have known she was a goner when she told Ellen that their first kiss swept her off her feet...

[@masantillo7732]

This is a good match. They are both articulate and have great personalities.

[@evehawasinare228]

I thought from day one that Bryan was the right man for her. He was focused entirely on Rachel. He seemed too confident in the early stages but that is a trait many women find attractive. During home visit to Peters family I thought I heard Peter's mum say to Rachel that she thought Peter was ready to commit but not necessarily with Rachel! May be I am wrong about what the mother said during home visit. A couple of years after the show and they are now married. God bless them

[@fitzy2]

Great couple....Really hope they make it!

[@mariepierre1244]

I love this couple put Jesus in the center of your live and your dream will be reality. Rachel's relationship is sincere. Your select Bryan for a good matches .Continue in positive attitude. Good luck both of you.

LOve you guys so much OMG he looks at her with so much love.

[@marieh1125]

This couple truly love and are mature about it, i dont get why people are obsessed with peter... Like duh Bryan is cute and fun and more so he loves her for real. Peter is a sucker glad she made this decision they are definitely going to last.. Yes to realistic love
