- With The Bachelor GOAT special coming to an end and just 2 more episodes: Nick Viall's and Juan Pablo's season... it was time to do a recap of a Bachelor/Bachelorette Season that SHOULD have been covered but wasn't. One of my favorite seasons: Rachel Lindsay's. So here is MY Bachelor GOAT recap of The Bachelorette Season that should've been covered.... Rachel Linday's.

To clarify Nick Viall said there's a "licensing" issue and so they couldn't air Rachel or Emily Maynard's seasons. No more info other than that. My best guess is some streaming service bought the rights to the season but who knows.
Would you ever consider recapping other seasons? This was super enjoyable
Dean's not still a fan favorite?! I'm a huge fan of him, and he has the best Instagram of any bachelor alumni ever.
I know Rachel’s season is on Tubi so I assumed that’s why for hers.
Rachel is on Tubi, but I think I saw it on my Hulu...
Emily's season was bought by Roku, and is free to watch right now.
I am still impressed with how quickly and decisively she weeded out the melodrama. She must be an excellent attorney.
Totally agree! As soon as she got wind that something was up, she went into “deposition mode,” asking all the relevant questions very clearly and directly. She gave ample opportunity for each side’s case, and then rendered fair judgment based on the facts presented. She was a model lead, IMO.
Sadly for potential clients, Rachel is no longer practicing law. She’s moved in sports broadcasting and podcasting and such. I enjoy her Bachelor Happy Hour podcast, co-hosted by Becca Kufrin. If I were into sports, I’m sure I would enjoy her analysis and commentary there as well.
I have nothing against Peter K., but I’m so glad Rachel ended up with Bryan. Their chemistry and comfort level through all sorts of situations just leaps off the screen. I’m so happy for them. 😍🥰🌹🙌
Yes she is - I think she is more of a logical person which is obvious cause she is an attorney.
I absolutely ADORED her from day dot..
I disagree, I think she took way too long removing the problematic man, Lee
Rachel really was the best bachelorette.
She's the only one who was incredibly no nonsense in eliminating drama, and she never did anything during the season that pissed me off. My focus was more on her happiness in the end and she's one of the only ones to get it.
👏👏👏🙌
yes, I really hope the franchise moves towards casting more headstrong, intelligent and mature bachelorettes who know what they want and are ready for marriage! the endings of the past couple of seasons have been disappointing
JKnight1316 Hannah was a good one too:) jedd was just an unfortunate choice who ended badly. Should have been Tyler obv
She also thought logically and Analyzed situations properly
@@Mackenzie-Ann Totally agree! Better producers would have told Hannah B about Jedd before the proposal (no way they didn’t know) and it all could’ve been different :(
Rachel’s season was how i got into the franchise in the first place.
REPRESENTATION!!!
Right I only watched for her
Same same same
Haha me too 😂 I don’t watch any of the other seasons because it’s literally a sea of cream of wheat and mashed potatoes-plus to be fair, Bachelor Nation is made for conservative white supremacists to begin with, so I really take only whatever I can get, which is a small amount of diversity!
@@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe getting a little carried away there. Chill out

“STOP IT! Get some help” 😂 😂
I lost it at that part 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Waaaaa Boooom
😂😂😂😂
That had me 😂😂😂
I haven’t seen that in yrs I was dying 😂😂😂
I knew Bryan was the front runner when they went on a date and Rachel bought them matching watches in Switzerland. That was a huge gesture, it was clear then for me... I love Rachel and Bryan together, glad they are still happily married.
I said, it's a wrap. Y'all can go home.
That was their first date too. She went all out.
@@ashante190 She did sis, she did... The Bentley for him to drive and everything.
@@deeniesmothers9310 Yup!... The other men were talking about the watches too, they knew.
it's over
Rachel was literally the best lead ever
Rachel's season was perfect! The only thing I wish was that the editors didn't give Brian such a horrible edit they really set him up for failure in the end which made everyone root for Peter when in retrospect he was the frontrunner.
My ongoing theory is they do that every season. Why do they want you to like the person she picks. No they want you to like her rejects because that's who they typically pick from for their next bachelor.
@@kathleentheg besides Hannah Brown's season, and for obvious reasons, I can't think of another season where they give the F1 pick a bad edit on purpose. The show usually does its best to try to protect the lead's pick
It’s weird because they seemed to really push for Peter. At first, I liked Peter at first and thought Bryan was a little too perfect and good to be true but always knew Bryan was MUCH better for Rachel. But I realize that in spite of being a good guy, Peter was not ready for commitment (weird because that’s what you sign up for when going on these shows!) and was quite manipulative and unromantic. Now I’m hunting for my Bryan Abasolo 😉
@@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe How was he manipulative? If anything he was 100% honest with Rachel that he did not feel ready to propose. It was left up to her to decide how she wanted to proceed with that information. That's allowing her to use her power not manipulating her at all.
@@socorroarranz969its sketchy and manipulative to people when folks come on a show with marriage at he end and then claim "they arent ready" at the end. Women have done it as well and the opinion is the same. Its just a pathetic excuse imo for the show but it is kinda backhanded 😅
Peter is a smoke show. I am obsessed with him. Her top four is magical.
He’s truly a treasure
I almost cried with her when they broke up the passion they had ugh!!!!
Chasen stole your word
My top two are still Eric and Bryan. Peter isn’t terrible but he was quite emotionally manipulative and probably wanted a relationship with Rachel without the commitment
@@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe A relationship is a commitment. The engagement is what he was uncertain about at the time and as he said he only wants to propose once. He and Rachel have very strong personalities.
You pulled whaboom guy from the forgotten memories section of my brain and i don’t know whether to laugh or be angry 😂
I was really into Peter at the time, but in retrospect I see that her connection with Bryan was just much more mature and grounded. But the way they kiss yikes I can't look!
@@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe Bryan is a white Latino. Lol!
that's just reaching, the chemistry was obvious@@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe
Rachel’s season is my favorite Bachelorette season. It was the second season (after Nick) that I actually watched while it was airing and it got me hooked on the franchise. I was genuinely excited for the lead, loved every single one if her top 4 men, and was always entertained.
My first season was Colton’s, which was incredibly frustrating. All the cattiness and weird drama 🤦♀️
Luckily, I next moved on to Rachel’s season, and then Trista’s. *Their* seasons are what actually hooked me. 🌹
On both of my kittens sleeping in my house right now 😭😭 Demario’s “girlfriend” was nuts
lmfao ooooh mannn i CANNOT believe i forgot about Adam Jr! He was the best part of the season, anytime he showed up i lost it. i loved that you included the "i disgust her" part, i cracked up sooo much! the producers were having way too much fun with him, reminds me of the snl totinos commercial with kristen stewart!
the Peter x Rachel breakup 'scene' still makes me bawl
yessss i still have ptsd
I feel like it was kind of healing for me, showing that a good man can be really into you, but lose you because of a fatal fear of commitment. I think Peter is still single 😢
it was really traumatic imo. I can never say that was the best. i would need a few years to get over that situation.
@@apersonalchannel He was bawling when he went back to his room. I still feel like he was nanipulative.
he asked her to take a chance and now she's divorced, ah well@@ZEBEEtheoriginal
I love Rachel! I know people get annoyed with her sometimes but one thing you can NEVER say about her is that she’s fake lol, whether you like what she’s saying or not she will say it because she truly feels it. She doesn’t fake her emotions, responses or anything for that matter, she’s real. I watched her season with my mom and we loved it! I love her!
Exactly!!! People hate people who are real.
It’s probably because she tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to call people on their BS. I know that one recent bachelor really doesn’t like Rachel and keeps poking at her like she’s just unlikeable, but I quite frankly don’t trust a man who sent his ex-girlfriend so many unsettling messages and patterns of behavior that she placed a restraining order against him 🤷🏻♀️🙄😂
I know this isn't the topic but I have to say you're so pretty!!
Rachel had the most common sense and the best no nonsense mentality and I love it
I kept wishing the producers would have her in as an advisor to Hannah B. 🤦♀️😂
@@goosebump801 Honestly though!!! She would have gotten rid of Luke after week 3
Rachel is hands down the best bachelorette ever. Beautiful, fun, spunky, real, no bs vibe. Here season isn't anything less than entertaining yet the ratings were so low, shows how much the viewers were actually accepting of a black lead. She is such a role model and deserves to be praised, the flack she has been getting for standing up as a person of color is so unnecessary
I always preferred Bryan honestly. Men knowing what they want and being real and honest is honestly so refreshing and I always loved that watching her and Bryan together. It’s sad that we as a society have been conditioned to believe when a man is nice and kind and attentive, there’s an ulterior motive, which is why people said they won’t last. And yet they made it and are still together proving them all wrong. As long as she’s happy that’s all that matters.
this is truly the best season. peter’s angry shirt take off at the end was really the greatest moment i’ve seen on the bachelor
Yes,and that goodbye kiss was everything
Brian also said he felt more latina than he ever did watching this as the always put generic Latin music in the background whenever he was on the show. After I heard that I always notice it now.
Same!!! I saw the same interview, now it’s painfully obvious.
Rachel's season was the first I watched and I have yet to see another even come close
Same for both things.
Same here
@WTM wats YES
Amen to that ♥️💚❤️💜💞💙💙
My first was peters 👁💧👄💧👁
Rachel is the best Bachelorette so far. Can’t change my mind.
Mine either! 🙌🌹
Your recaps are so much better than abc lol, and somehow you manage to get it done in under 3 hours 😂
I actually get a migraine watching the Waboom shake his head omg.
No doubt about it, Rachel is a queen. And I hardly ever use that word.
Rachel and aoc 🙈
queen in a country where royalty doesnt apply....lol...
Rachel Lindsay is honestly the best lead the show has ever had and her season was my favourite. Also I agree with all the reasons listed in the video that make her season the greatest of all time.
I love that Rachel kept her standards high 💛
I'd love to see Bachelor Fantake do a ranking/tier list for all the bachelor & bachelorette seasons
Rachel IS the bachelor GOAT. Not only was she an amazing lead, but her men were (mostly) great and the season had the perfect balance of drama, humor, and romance. My one complaint is that Lee should never have been cast. Rachel and Kenny shouldn’t have had to deal with his racist bullshit.
So happy whaboom didn’t go to Paradise or anything. It’s even more yikes than I remembered. Also dang, hadn’t ever heard Peter’s reasons not to be Bachelor. I respect that good for him but still sad he wasn’t the Bachelor
I’m pretty sure he did go to paradise but no on wanted to date him so he lasted less than a full episode. I don’t remember for sure though.
Natalie deWitt LOL it amounts to the same thing 😝 Like no one cares about the less than half an episode Chad was on Paradise. He didn’t make an impression so no harm no foul 😆
Rachel had the best cast IMO. A lot of genuinely nice and successful guys. I was obsessed with her top 4 and actually cried many times to see some of these guys leave haha
IMO, minus Wha-boom, Lee, and Demario, she had such a good group of guys. When it comes to bachelorette season where the crop of guys was really good and entertaining this one, Kaitlyn's season, and Ali's season really stand out.
I DROPPED EVERYTHING. I LOVE THIS SEASON
Rachels dress from the first night was AMAZING😭😭🙌🏾
Am I the only one who never liked Peter but LOOVEEED Bryan? Their interactions always seemed real and genuine (no shade). Bryan was always the front runner since night one for me. And Peter basically gave her an ultimatum even if he knew that she wanted to get married.
I’m 100% with you on this!
I agree with you!!
I remember learning a lot through Rachel's season. She chose the low drama stable loving guy, rather than the up and down "exciting" one that most of the people watching wanted her to choose. I even shared it in a therapy group I was in. 🤷♀️
Really loved them both! I knew Bryan was going to win FROM THE START and he RIGHTFULLY should have and did 👏 BUT I did like Peter at first because he seemed cute and likable. Obviously his dynamic with Rachel didn’t age well because he gave off this energy where he’d pass on the commitment and the romantic devotion that Bryan was sold on
I’m so upset, THIS is the Peter we needed as the Bachelor😭😭
Moondy Cole omg yes💀
My goodness he’s a beautiful man!
Rachel was also just named a correspondent for 'Extra'
this was the first full season of any bachelor show I ever watched and it’s what got me hooked on the franchise! 🥰 (i remember crying SO HARD when rachel and peter broke up and i don’t usually cry at this show lol)
it’s also the first season that came to my mind when I heard about the “greatest seasons ever”
Rachel and Bryan are one of my absolute favorite Bachelor couples, and Rachel as Bachelorette was amazing!! strong, mature, real, funny ! i wish them nothing but the best for the future, so happy they made it!
Rachel’s top 4 was amazing. Peter & Eric are forever my faves out of the 4.
Bryan and Eric for me 🤷♀️
Goosebump 801 good for you
This season occurred when I wasn't watching any Bachelor/Bachelorette shows, so grateful that you did this video! What a great season! Now, I must get cable for the upcoming Bachelorette season. Thanks, I think,... 😉
just get Hulu , it's waaaaaay cheaper if you're just getting it for the bachelorette
Or just watch it on ABC....
That break the ice joke hurt in a good way, like when a bone clicks by stretching.
Thanks for re-capping this season - Loved it!!
LITERALLY i guess chris harrison wasn’t ready for that conversation 🙄
I love your user name 😄
The April Show omg back at ya 😇
Wait what conversation
Ziggy Blu Waters that rachel should’ve had a goat episode 😹
You were before your time💛
Oooooh I almost forgot about the Whaboom guy!! That's the first time I heard of the Keto diet.
Oh gosh, the proposal nearly got me teary. I'm sorry I missed this season!
Watch it on Tubi!
I enjoy your summation. Thank you for giving Rachel's season the respect it deserves. ❤
This season was the Bryan and Rachel realizing that Bryan is the perfect guy! This is still my favorite season of all time!
Even my boyfriend who never likes any of them, hes always said she was the best person to go on that show. Shes smart and already had her life together.
You missed the bit where production set Rachel up and made her sit in front of a live studio audience, whom were manipulated by the final edit of Peter and Bryan for over 4hrs, cutting back to Peter backstage whom played to the camera, whilst Rachel's engagement was shown!
I thought Bryan's mom was memorable and should of been included in your final edit, but overall you did a great recap of a fun and nice love story played out in the craziest circumstances!
Thank you for always talking about the racial aspects of Bach nation. I feel like people tend to avoid it even when talking about Rachel and her season
Rachel's season is truly the best one ever. Thanks for recapping!
I've never seen this season, but I have seen Rachel's appearances here and there and she seems super cool
This was the first season I followed fully and was emotionally invested
I feel sad for those who didn't get to watch this season live. Definitely one of the best
I knew immediately when she kissed Bryan he was the one. He had the whole package, and he was really there for a relationship. Plus I think his parents liking her was the gold seal. I'm happy she found her person.
Fr
This didn't age well😂
6:30 YOU DID NOT AAAAHA
Thank you Chris for making this. Big Rach’s season definitely should’ve been one of the GOAT’s. She was a fantastic lead and her season was amazing!!!
Thank you so much for honoring this great season. It was my favorite Bachelorette season of all time!
Rachel’s season is probably my favorite out of all of them. I totally thought that she’d end up with Peter, even after they broke up, but all’s well that ends well. I didn’t know Peter was offered the Bach! I would have definitely watched his season, but good for him for turning it down and living his life 👍
Why wouldn’t they have the rights to it anymore?
Rachel and Emily Maynard's seasons are on Tubi, I believe. So Tubi has exclusive rights to those seasons for as long as that contract lasts.
Not sure but Nick Viall said there's some sort of licensing issue along with Emily Maynard's season. If that's true my best guess is some streaming service has the rights to stream it for a certain contract length of time.
Also worth noting is that ABC doesnt actually "own" the show. It is made by a separate production studio and licensed to ABC. So I believe ABC has no say in when and where the streaming rights are sold.
All of Peters reasons for not being the bachelor is exactly why he would be the perfect bachelor 🙃
He was such a fake person.
So true. Love him
@Denise M 100% agree!!
finally someone agrees!! brian was the front runner from day one! she was so clearly in love with him the whole time. yes peter was great but he wasn’t the one
Agreed Brian was the first to get another 1x1 date, then a third if I recall, and she even bought him a watch! Like that act/purchase showed who she was picking she was telling him and us. People were just caught up in Peters charms too much to see that it was ALWAYS gonna be Bryan.
He also got the first impression rose.
Thank you so much for this.. Rachel’s season was my favorite too and I wanted her to pick Dr. Abs aka Brian sooo bad
Is that real or was that joke? Lmfaoooo Whaboom definitely had a dream about Blake eating a banana 😭😭
Even by watching the season you will never know.
Rachel was the moment. Hands down.
This is the only season I’ve ever watched, Peter still owns my heart
I was a musician in the band for that entrance! Very fun gig.
MR. FANTAKE WHY WOULD YOU SHOW THE ANNABELLE DOLL
Wow, thank you for taking our comments into consideration! 🤗
How are they not going to feature Rachel?! She was 100% the best ever!!
I always knew that Bryan abd Rachel would end up bbn together.
Hahaha I totally forgot about the AJ doll!
Spat my water when Anabelle showed up
Another great recap.. thank you!!
Completely agree! I love Rachel and her season.
That Peter break up was heartbreaking 😭😭 I remember bachelor nation being so mad including myself. I’m happy he didn’t want to be the bachelor when he was in a relationship. I’m sure a lot of leads leave relationship to be the lead but he wasn’t having that. And the fact that he was making more money being a business owner than the show was willing to pay him. The fact that Peter didn’t want to do it because he didn’t know if he would be engaged is quite hilarious though since a few leads left and didn’t get engaged 😂 I love that he wasn’t gonna accept the offer because they weren’t offering therapy for him and his final girls. He’s such an amazing person for that 😩 He wanted it to work for whoever he ended up with and because the franchise is trash they didn’t want to negotiate.
John Doe you wish
Giiirl I was looking for ONE comment with this perspective.
Agree.
So like can we talk about how the wind just DESTROYED that proposal 😂
A lot was left out of this bc there was trauma and drama. Ending was just chaotic. jmho.
Thanks for this interpretation you are so right about she should have definitely been included
You are just the best Bachelor Fantake ❤️
Thank you for bringing back my repressed whaboom memories
Peter is the bachelor we all deserve and will never get.
Yesss thank u for this! I was really looking forward to Emily and her season 😭😭😭
With bachelorettes it's so evident who they like - I usually am able to guess 90% of the time who stole their heart - I remember seeing Rachel with Brian first time they sat together - I was confident we don't need this season, she chose ;) With bachelors - even if it looks that way, they are so immature and not in touch with their emotions, that even when they have a clear favourite, they go and screw everything up and choose a different one. Acutally the only one who was sure and not afraid to stick with it was Colton
Eh my comment didnt age well
Yes! A+ for the JonTron reference at the beginning 😂
It’s true that she was fairly good at removing the problematic guys and keeping them out, I feel like she kept Lee around for way too long and at that point he did lasting damage to Kenny. He was by far the most infuriating man ever
The producers made her keep him for the storyline of fighting !!
Tickle Monster was crazy. I would have punched him in the face the moment he touched me 😂
"Stop it...get some help" 🤣🤣🤣 i died
I literally weeped for an hour and played Rachel and Peter's breakup on repeat. I haven't cried that much about my own breakups. But Rachel and Brian are a great couple
I'll never let the franchise down for not giving me a Peter as The Bachelor season. Hands down one of my favorite contestants of all time.
That SAVAGE Ellen moment hahahaha
Yes this season was def a GOAT! (Not including wa-boom guy) & omg love you for that Ellen section 🤣
plot twist: annabelle snuck out to elope with adam jr.
So nick and juan pablo are on GOAT and Ash, Rachel, and Des aren't (people who are actually with their pick and had awesome seasons!) WTF?! Who designed this? 🙄
😂
i understand why juan pablo's season is on - so people can get to know clare. but ashley, rachel and desiree would've been good GOAT seasons for many reasons, but mainly b/c the "process" actually worked for them! :)
Wait I didn't know Juan Pablo's season was coming up they also should've done Hannah B's season *for obvious reasons* lol
I’m assuming it’s just too recent
meghan probably but that season was just so iconic lol
Jason yeah ‘why are you here’ 😂😂
meghan lmao gotta love Luke P😂😂
Thank you for this!!! So disappointed they didn’t air her season! ❤️
I thought Kenny left bc of his daughter or am I confusing him with someone else in the series?
I think Rachel kind of “let him go” before a rose ceremony so that he could be back w his daughter more quickly. She wasn’t feeling it and wanted him to be able to be back w his family ASAP as I recall
That's what happened in BIP
@@shannonceleste5557 thank you so much I remember now
Im almost 99.9% this happened
I think he decided to leave and she said that was best.
Queen
Ugh Eric was so pure and sweet he deserved so much
They can’t get Rachel’s season but they can get the original bachelor ? The original bachelor is on Tubi as well as Rachel’s and I believe Jason’s season is on Netflix if I’m not mistaken
It is on tubi but outside the US we can't watch it either even the one's on Netflix.
So is Trista's season. I'm starting to think that's a bs reason. Wait a minute. I thought I watched Jason's on there as well.
