Rachel Lindsay is opening up about why she didn’t pick the runner-up on the finale of The Bachelorette.

The 32-year-old lawyer and reality star said a gut-wrenching goodbye to one of the finale two men before he even got to the rose ceremony.

Rachel‘s tough conversation with the fan favorite was dramatic and a heartbreaking moment to watch but she knew he “wasn’t the one for her.”

“The reason the goodbye at the end was so emotional, it’s not that I didn’t know what I was going to do, it was one that it’s hard to say goodbye to someone you care about,” Rachel explained to People.

“When I walked into Peter’s hotel room at the very end, I knew that I was going to send Peter home. At that point, I knew it was Bryan. I did not want Peter to come to the proposal, pick out a suit, pick out a ring, prepare what he was going to say just to get turned down. That was really important for me, but I was thrown off by Peter because up until that point, he had expressed that he wasn’t ready to propose,” Rachel said.

She added, “With Peter, I constantly got this push and this pull. What I hate so much is that it seems like the reason that Peter wasn’t the one for me is due to the proposal, and I think that it became such a big issue because that’s what happens at the end of this, but there were other deep-rooted issues in my relationship with him.”

She concluded, “There’s no denying I didn’t care about Peter, I just knew he wasn’t the one for me.”
