Bachelorette recap after the Bachelor season has ended

Yes I am that far back, my DVR has the Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and the Bachelor saved.

It has been months since I saw the 2nd to last episode of this show, I barely remembered these guys at first and my DVR says this show is 179 minutes, but thankfully it looks like much of this is the "watch with a live audience junk" so I can skip sections.

When we finally get going we are with Rachel and Peter (I forgot his name) and he is trying to find out how Rachel will feel if he does not ask her to marry him.
Anyway they take the fantasy suite invite and we see the next morning bed clothes/hair and shirtless guy.

Up next is Bryan and he and Rachel go wine tasting. Rachel exhibits reservations that she claims are a result of Peter. They say yes to the fantasy suite and we get the next morning with the bed scene and the shirtless guy.

Rose ceremony time and Bryan gets the first rose, then Peter and I cannot help but think that maybe Eric should not have worn a T-shirt with a suit. Eric handled his rejection with grace and class.
Eric is brought out to talk to Rachel and the crowd goes nuts for him.

Back to dating and Rachel and Bryan are boring together in a hot air balloon: Confession, I passed out through some of this date and accidentally hit the letter 'L' on repeat over some of the prior paragraphs, I am too tired/lazy/bored to go back over and edit so I just deleted all the Ls and left it because by the time I caught it all I was past the ctrl z to repair point.

Peter and Rachel go to a monastery and this show continues its tradition of casually blending in religion with this show's aesthetic. Peter continues to mention that he is afraid of divorce (I feel him here, though we diverge on how we get to the final destination). Peter tells Rachel that he does not think he can ask for her hand in marriage tomorrow. Peter feels like he does not know the premise of this show. It also feels like Peter stuck around just to hit it...and once that 'task' was achieved he didn't need to stick out the 'painful parts.'

Back to Rachel and the studio audience and OMCH plays for a super awkward long pause.Peter comes out to talk and nothing new is gleaned. It feels like the show's big push is to get Peter to say "I should have asked you to marry me" and he will not take the bait.

Bryan arrives for his solo rose ceremony and I am able to hit the FFWD button because they have him walking up a hill to get to Rachel. Rachel loses her mind when Bryan drops to his knee and shows her the ugly ring. I kept thinking that Bryan and Rachel were more excited with the mechanics of getting engaged and having Bryan come out to the studio audience and re-present the ring again does nothing to diminish that thought.

About Me

Cali-J ueber alles in der Welt. Some think that I am mean; (I call them friends), in fact I am not that mean. What I am is sarcastic and dry to the sandpaper level. I have friends that I have never said a kind word to their face, but I praise to the ends of the earth to anyone I know and will defend them to the end. That’s just how I roll! My boys know that I am down for them, my girls know that no matter what I will keep them safe (and occasionally flirt with them [If you are a female friend of mine and think I haven’t flirted with you it just means you didn’t notice, it was extremely subtle or…not yet ]). No one is safe from my sarcasm even my own parents; hence of course as a kid I spent a significant amount of time in punishment. I treat people with respect if I think they deserve it – everyone starts off with the same amount of respect from me (a lot). You don’t need to earn my respect; you have to keep my respect.
