The Bachelorette week 3 power rankings: A little note goes a long way
4. Peter
Perhaps the luckiest thing for Peter the Pilot is that his group date success coincided with Luke P.’s imploding. As much as we haven’t wanted to see Luke P. succeed, he has continued to steal Hannah’s heart scene after scene. On the photoshoot group date, the Bachelorette finally confronted him over his arrogant, irritating behavior.
Good ole’ Pete looked like the golden boy by comparison with his sweet attitude and tender kisses. This felt extra obvious during a brief showdown between the two contestants in a hallway.
Peter continues to be an underrated contestant, focusing on honesty rather than flash. This could potentially hurt him if he fails to stand out with Hannah, but so far it only seems to have set him apart in a good way. The Bachelorette keeps saying that she’s looking for someone real and Peter definitely seems to fit the bill. He’s all himself all the time, never sacrificing his quieter, more studied personality.
It’s worth noting that Peter took home his group date rose this week. Despite his cheesy line about having a “smooth takeoff,” we agree with Hannah that he deserves the extra validation. Keep doing you, Peter, and hopefully the Bachelorette will continue to remember you. You’re doing something right!
