I hope Dan doesn't try to act clueless as to why people are always expecting twists and whatnot on this show.

WHY is the fire being considered a twist? I wouldn't consider that one.

I just can't take this nomination seriously. I feel like this type of show (for many of the reasons deaja mentioned) typically isn't a part of the Emmys, and actually feel as though many would have laughed in the past at the idea of such a show being included. And also, it feels like it got its nomination by campaigning alllll season looooong. Non-Stop.

However, in the interviews I've read with Fogelman, it seems like he is convinced that he is above reproach with this show and, if anyone has a problem with it, it is because they just don't understand things.
This right here.

i actually don't hate or dislike anyone here. Rachel and Bryan fit together and may make it as a couple. I will also always believe she was in love with Peter and would have chosen him if he wanted to propose. I don't believe a woman gets that emotional that they are sobbing and gets that frosty/angry upon seeing the ex unless feelings are still there. I have nothing against Bryan except I don't know a thing about his personality. And it makes sense to me that the two main rivals for Rachel's heart are not going to like each other. Not everyone is built to feel nothing about the woman they love kissing and sleeping with someone else. And before we continue to hate on Peter for his mediocre comment, Bryan's sloppy seconds comment and she won't be happy unless she picks me are exactly the same.
If Rachel was 100% in love with Bryan and had zero feelings for Peter, she could have walked him out with a hug the way she did Eric. There was no need to go to his hotel room for a last ditch attempt at getting him to propose, if she did not want him. There was also no need for the crying, the kissing, the uncertainty about moving too fast. I like Rachel and I am not faulting her for being human. But I think that saying Peter is a despicable human being for not wanting to propose , is ridiculous especially since the same people who hate him for not proposing are the same people saying she is madly in love with Bryan and had no interest in Peter proposing. If she had no interest in Peter, he did nothing wrong by not proposing. If she did have interest in Peter (which I am sure she did), he did nothing wrong by stating he was in love with her, didn't want to lose her and wanted a relationship with her. No one every should be forced into something, tv show or not.
Lastly, I am tired of hearing about high school quotes. You should have seen my son's high school yearbook. The quotes were everything from: I want to marry Bruno Mars, to I want to win the world record for eating flaming hot cheetos to I am an alien. None of it is meant to be a prescription for lifelong life goals or attitudes. I would be very happy if Peter is the next bachelor since I like his personality. I think reality TV makes people think only over the type extroverts are acceptable personalities when the world is full of people who are different.
It gets real interesting sometimes discussing this because when we are talking about proposals and lengths of time and not being into someone......this was done over the course of....was it six weeks? So I think comparisons to men not proposing and stringing women along are hard to equate (for me, anyway). And sometimes men are with a woman and know she is the one, but still hold off on proposing because they think it's too soon even if they already know. In Rachel's case she had waited 5 years with a previous boyfriend. That's a huge difference. But Peter did tell her he wanted to keep what they had going off the show. What would have happened if she agreed to that? That would have made things harder for him to become the Bachelor if that's what he has wanted all along, I would think.
Anyway, I guess I should point out that I love Rachel. I could listen to her speak all day.
Just so there are no generalizations being made because that tends to happen.

I can hear the sheer amount of monologues they'll give Kevin because Justin will insist on it. You know he's not okay with being the one "Pearson child" who doesn't have a Primetime Emmy nod.
Yeppers. I think Justin thought he would get one for that monologue he did....LOL!

Because his issue with Rachel was that he didnt get any emotion or sense of how she was feeling towards him til the breakup day. He didnt know how she felt, and that made him uneasy. He will have the opposite problem if he becomes the Bachelor. He will need to figure which of the women saying she loves him is lying.
It was interesting to watch. It seemed he let his guard down most at the very end, maybe because he didn't believe he really had a chance. Not sure he believed she really wanted him to be THE one until the very end.

Maybe, but I didn't see it that way. I think Rachel by nature might enjoy an intense interchange of the kind she had with Peter. It might say more about her love of getting in there and arguing a point that she truly is invested in than it says about her love of Peter.
I dunno.....I don't think so. It didn't seem like something she enjoyed at all. More frustrated and wishing it would just be easier regarding the proposal. Felt to me like a.....look, give me what I need so I can pick you. This is your last chance because it's tomorrow and I need to know whether to pick Bryan or not.

Just watched Rachel and Peter's breakup and.....dang, they seem devastated.
Not seeing that Peter isn't into Rachel. He seems VERY into her.
This stinks.

It's really hard to watch this even though I've been keeping up with spoilers all season.
Watching Rachel interact with/look at Peter and then with Bryan. Looks like she's trying hard to focus on Bryan. I can only seem to pay attention when she's talking to Peter because it's like someone pushed *start* and Bryan starts scripting. Again.

I kept wishing I was watching Girls Trip for the third time during this.
Strange movie.

Saw this twice already. Haven't had that much FUN at the movies in a long time. Laugh out loud funny....some people in the theater truly could not stop LOL. The commercials before this came out definitely didn't do it justice. I'm glad I went to see it because just seeing the commercials before, I wasn't too interested.

I get the impression listening to Peter talk that he has been given advice in the past to be very direct, clear, etc. I sort of cringed a few times last night even though he didn't really say anything bad/wrong. I just think in general people aren't used to that approach. It's interesting because not doing so actually tends to lead to more problems, misunderstandings, down the road.

That said, Rachel was already in love with Bryan. That date with her family had shades of Ashley's season and when J.P. met her sister. I remember how angry and upset Ashley was over her sister not liking J.P. at all which was a total giveaway that he was the one she wanted. Rachel went into full attack mode on her family, including her own mother, for the way they were treating Bryan. I'm sorry, you don't have that kind of reaction to your family who you love and are very close to over some guy you're not really into. And her mother even called it out a bit by pointing out how she could tell how deeply Rachel felt for Bryan based on her reaction. I admit I cracked up when Rachel looked like she was this close to telling the brother in law to just shut it and that he had no say.
I thought two things:
1.) She is upset because she's so in love with him
or
2.) She's upset because he is the only one telling her exactly what she wants to hear and so this makes her have to think about whether or not to pick Bryan (if Peter doesn't say what she wants before the end).
Personally, I think Bryan is who she decided to go with if Peter did not come around....but who knows.

I like Peter's honesty. I think Rachel has a weird idea of what an engagement is. To me, engagement isn't something you do lightly, in agreement with Peter there. It's almost as if she just has to have the STATUS of being engaged, not actually someone she will marry. I hope she gets her head out of her ass and realizes he is more serious about this than anyone else.
Man I was screaming (in my head) at this. They are so beautiful together. I wondered if she was saying that to try to get him to propose....or if she really does believe that. Problem is, I think (I guess) that people do this because they are tired of waiting for their great love or whatever and just want it to happen right then, right away. No matter what.

Awww Rachel and Peter seem the most naturally couple-like to me.

I thought Peter looked pretty terrified at the rose ceremony. If he normally tries to stay controlled regarding his emotions, I think he wasn't able to hide it in this case.

I don't see why she would not let him go before Dean if that were the case. That way it would not look like she was letting Dean go because of his family and after she apparently said I love you to him. Her answer as to why she let Peter go could have been simple. But this is two weeks now where the theme is Peter is not ready and she keeps him around. It seems more like a she might sort of upset because she really wants to pick him but isn't really liking some things she's hearing.

Man this is frustrating. It still seems to me that Peter is the one she REALLY wants for a serious relationship. But then Bryan's right there with the whole prince charming act. He's always "on."

It's kinda odd that after giving practically every cast member a nomination simply for showing up and breathing, Mandy didn't get one. But then again, Rebecca IS the cause of all things horrible, so.
I guess I thought Emmy nods seemed to be (usually) when shows that weren't all about buzz and gimmicks could get some recognition.
I hate that this means that there will probably be even MORE monologues and guitar playing next season. It's as though I could hear Dan Fogelman saying more of the guitar!!! It's very Emmy-ish!!!

Somewhere, Justin Hartley is screaming at his agent, while simultaneously giving Milo and Sterling verbal tongue baths.
I think Justin thinks he really deserves a nomination. I lol at the fact that practically every single other person on the show has gotten a nomination but him. It's probably killing him. I think that will be his next thing to whine about now that he is on a hit show.

This show has managed to disguise itself as worthy of nominations from the top award shows.
The hype and the apparent desperation to include broadcast TV in the drama category really worked in their favor.
Shaking my head.

After the latest episode it had me wondering if she could have been possibly talking about Peter. The lack of the use of the word "love" and the drama of the next episode are reasons I could see her describing their relationship that way. With Bryan it seems they have been on the exact same page since day 1, no question of where he stands, etc.
ETA: This interview was before fan reaction to the guys was in place. Maybe she didn't think fans would take to Peter if it's him she's talking about. He doesn't put it all out there in the way for instance, Bryan does.

I hate the latest commercial that uses quotes from people after the finale. It's especially irritating when I see this one..."I couldn't breathe." Or something along those lines.
Ugh.
