‘Bachelorette’ Season 13 Finale Spoiler Debunked After Rachel Lindsay Video Causes Buzz
UPDATE: 6/5/17- 12:51 p.m. EDT- Reality Steve has since changed his winner prediction for this season of “The Bachelorette.”
Original Story:
Rachel Lindsay was accused of making a big mistake recently, some “Bachelorette” viewers claiming she accidentally revealed her Season 13 winner online.
TMZ reports that Rachel caused some buzz for starring in a video from the night of her “The Bachelorette” premiere which showed what many fans believed to be her partying with one of her 31 suitors from the show.
“A video posted the same night as Rachel’s premiere episode showed her kicking it with a handsome guy with facial hair. No biggie, until fans noticed the guy has a strong resemblance to Peter Kraus, one of the frontrunners to win Rachel’s hand,” TMZ explained, posting a screenshot of the offending video.

While some viewers believe Rachel was caught partying with one of her contestants, therefore seemingly spoiling the show’s finale, the site debunked reports that the man in the image was Peter.
“Sources at the party tell us the guy in the background is a friend of a friend of Rachel’s and absolutely NOT Peter,” reads the report. “If it were him, Rachel would be in hot water with producers. She’s banned from hanging out with ANY of the contestants while the show’s airing.”
The video controversy comes after Rachel revealed that she will leave the show engaged. “I am very much so in love and very much so engaged,” Rachel told Us Weekly prior to the season premiere. “Every morning I wake up and pinch myself and I keep asking myself if this is really happening,” she said of her unidentified winner. “It’s crazy at times. I feel like I don’t even deserve this. I feel like I’m getting everything that I want and I am getting my happy ending.”
If Rachel were to have revealed her winner, it wouldn’t be the first time a “Bachelorette” spoiled the show’s finale. Season 11 star Kaitlyn Bristowe infamously unveiled she was getting cozy with contestant Shawn Booth prior to the show’s 2015 conclusion. She went on to get engaged to Shawn in the finale.
“We were sending Snaps to one of the producers,” Shawn explained of the mishap on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” “I get out of bed, I pick up my phone and go on Twitter and there’s hundreds of photos of my stupid face laying in bed with her. I start having a panic attack. I couldn’t even breathe.”
Following her slip up, Kaitlyn’s castoff and “Bachelor” Season 20 lead Ben Higgins was warned against spoiling his winner. “Yeah, by the way, stay off Snapchat,” Kaitlyn lovingly warned Ben during a dual appearance on “Bachelor Live” during his season.

Still, according to “Bachelorette” spoilers, a post-filming video with Rachel and Peter wouldn’t exactly be surprising. Notorious spoiler blogger Reality Steve revealed last month that Rachel left the show engaged to Peter following the finale taping in Spain on May 11.
“I can tell you with full confidence that Rachel is engaged to Peter Kraus,” reads his spoiler report. “As I say every season, this isn’t a prediction, this isn’t a guess, this isn’t, ‘Well I know who the final three are, I’ve got a 33 percent change if being right, might as well just take a stab at it.’ No, she’s engaged to Peter.”
