Rachel Lindsay's friends are reportedly disappointed about the bachelor she chose at the end of The Bachelorette process.

"Rachel's friends are worried that she's just blinded by the ring and not really paying attention to the actual person she chose," an insider told Life & Style.
Rachel has narrowed down the field to only three bachelors -- Eric Bigger, Bryan Abasolo and Peter Kraus -- heading into The Bachelorette's thirteenth-season finale.
Rachel has expressed numerous times how she didn't want to leave the show with just a boyfriend, but since her mind was set on getting engaged, her friends reportedly feel she put too much emphasis on choosing the guy who would guarantee a marriage proposal at the end.
"The runner-up has all the qualities Rachel was looking for, and everybody thinks they would have been much better together," the insider said.

It doesn't help that Rachel, a 32-year-old Dallas attorney, was allegedly torn between her Final 2 bachelors moments before the Final Rose Ceremony was filmed in Rioja, Spain.
"Rachel really didn't know who to choose. She made a last-minute decision on the day of the final rose taping. She didn't give it enough thought," the insider told Life & Style.

But when Rachel finally made up her mind based on her gut feeling, the insider revealed there was no going back for the Bachelorette.
"She told the runner-up not to contact her because she said it wouldn't be fair," the insider shared with the magazine.

"While her decision was excruciatingly difficult to come to, it was final. And Rachel wants to think she made the right one."

However, a source close to The Bachelorette told Life & Style that Rachel's fiance didn't exactly have the best intentions when choosing to appear on the ABC reality dating show.
"The winner started off for the wrong reasons," noted The Bachelorette source. "He went on the show hoping to become the next Bachelor."
The source said, however, Rachel dumped her runner-up instead because he was nervous about the idea of marriage.

Although Rachel and the jilted bachelor's "chemistry was great" and he's very "good looking," the source said his doubts and fears "made Rachel question if he was really the one."
