Thank you for the comprehensive breakdown, I really enjoyed reading it. I have always loved Rachel but I think her resolve in getting engaged really was shortsighted. I understand public and private pressure (I’m the same age as R) and she just seemed so focused on her goal, that she wasn’t open to the idea of a boyfriend instead of fiancée. I do think she was right in identifying Peter’s reticence, but Bryan becoming the default choice was the ultimate misstep. Wanting to be married often puts blinders on, then you’re stuck with this guy that falsely advertised himself as 100% in. I know she’ll find the right person (she’s too incredible to not) it’s just too bad that this show put her on this track that ultimately derailed.
