Extremely bored and want to see what everyone else thinks: what Bachelor/Bachelorette contestant deserved better? OR: what contestant deserved WAY worse?

I think he's basically saying what you are but your phrasing invites follow up of why he didn't trust Bryan. It would have been rude and weird for Peter to discuss those things post-finale and also after Peter and Bryan exchanged positive messages near the end of the season. The way Peter is saying it kind of puts the blame on himself for taking it too personally.

As for husband material, that's a lens Rachel was supposed to view things through, not Peter. Peter is their friend. He interacted with them differently, saw and heard and discussed different things than she would have, and viewed them through that friend lens so of course he will advocate for them over someone he didn't really care for. It doesn't make him right though. Especially when it's unclear if he himself is husband material right now.

Where is the making fun of thing coming from? Did someone say that somewhere? Thanks.
