I clearly dont have a preference.)
Honestly, aside from likeHomeward Boundand any movie about war, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMETHING SO SAD?!
Rachel might not have pulled a full Mesnick, but I think I mightve.

Basically, its the watch party you didnt RSVP to and had planned on skipping.
Get excited, Bachelor nation!
Finally getting to the show, we pick up with Peter and Rachels overnight date.
The Cliffs Notes: Peter equates a proposal with a marriage and therefore only wants to do it once.
Because of that, hes not ready to propose to Rachel just yet.
Talking about it, Rachel gets upset, but oddly, thats just what Peter needed to see.
After all, theres nothing like watching a woman cry to get some clarity!
Peter promises Rachel that her tears werent shed in vain because they showed him just how much he cares.
(We get it, Chris.
You wrote a book.
Youre a writer now.)
Except youre literally walking to the fantasy suite, Rachel.
For the first time in your relationship, your next step is painfully obvious.
Also, is this the smallest fantasy suite ever?
For Rachel, shes hoping shell have clarity by morning.
Spoiler: She doesnt really get it.
With that, shes off to spend the day with Bryan…but only physically.
All day, everything he says quite literally gets blown away by the wind before it reaches Rachels ears.
(And he should probably be happy thats all that was blown away with that wind.)
She is checked out, and Bryan can feel it.
She apologizes and attacks him with kisses when he says it made him feel down.
She doesnt want to think about Peter; she wants to focus on Bryan.
Yeah, that took a turn.
THERE IS A MIC IN THE ROOM.
(Guess hes Team Bryan.)
She loved other people more, Chris!
Before he leaves, Eric thanks Rachel for making him a man by introducing him to love.
Can we just get back to the show now?
But Bryan is confident he can make her the happiest.
I think itd be a mistake if you didnt choose me, he tells her.
At the end of the night, Bryan feels he left nothing unsaid, so good for him.
(This is getting oddly specific.)
But what he doesnt picture is a proposal.
At least not yet.
Rachel asks him what scares him about marriage, but he claims nothing does.
The problem is that he has 24 hours to do it.
If only they could make their dream match the way their clothes do.
Peter starts by admitting that he realized something today: I am in love with you, he says.
However, hes not ready to stop being with her either.
but he isnt ready to take the biggest step to getting there.
Yet Rachels fear is that theyll never actually take those steps if they dont do it now.
She wants someone who wants what she wants.
They gotta want it all and they gotta want it now!
And heres where things start to really fall apart.
And why wait until tomorrow if nothings going to change?
And cue the bargaining.
(Because every woman wants their man to think of proposing as a sacrifice.)
I think were both going to regret this decision, Peter says.
At least, he knows he is.
I cant say goodbye, she says and now IM CRYING.
Um no, but are you feeling okay, Chris?
And by that, she means he definitely deserves another shot at love as The Bachelor.
In the end, they both wish each other nothing but happiness.
So, that brings us back to Rachels big finale…
The next day, Rachel wakes up still feeling the effects of the breakup.
She doesnt regret the decision, but she wonders if things are moving too quickly with Bryan.
I am completely head-over-heels totally absolutely in love with you.
I just hope you feel the same.
(Both of those things!)
I am the best version of myself when Im with you, he says.
Getting down on one knee, he asks Rachel Lynn Lindsay for her hand and she says yes.
The biggest shock of all this?
Her name is LYNN LINDSAY?!
Bryans all, Do you understand how long Ive waited to hear those words?
And Im all, Yeah, six weeks.
(He better have bought a second one from Neil Lane if he doesnt want any issues.)
Have I covered everything?
Are we all good?
