This is part of a post from NativeNewyorker. It was in the episode thread, but I thought it may get lost there. I find it interesting that Arie & Jef each got 3 answers....


I do have one more thing that I thought everyone might like to read. I watched the ABC local late evening news out here in L.A. and the entertainment reporter interviewed Emily and tested her with some great questions. I will just list them and her answers below. Very good stuff!

Most likely to succeed - Ryan

Best mind - Jef

Best eyes - Arie

Biggest heart - Doug

Best body and legs - Sean

Silliest - Arie and Jef

Most romantic - Arie

Most generous - Chris

Best smile - Sean

Best sense of humor - Jef

[Pattycake92]

Jef- best mind, silliest and best sense of humor

This is what she was looking for. He said something about how their conversation was so good last week and I think she said she wanted someone to love her for who she is. Can't wait for their talk on the beach!

THE REMAINING BACHELORS START THEIR ROMANTIC GLOBAL TOUR WITH EMILY
IN BERMUDA, BUT THERE’S STORMY WEATHER AHEAD AS SOME OF THE MEN FACE
OFF IN A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE REGATTA AND TWO NEED TO TAKE A LEAP
OF FAITH, JUMPING OFF A CLIFF, ON ABC’S “THE BACHELORETTE”
John and Nate’s Dramatic Two-on-One Date Guarantees One Man a Ticket Home


“Episode 804” – Thirteen excited bachelors start the trip of a lifetime with Emily, as their tour begins in the British island paradise of Bermuda. Emily and Ricki embrace the local culture while the men arrive via scooter. John and Nate are pitted against one another on the dreaded two-on-one date as the trio board a luxury yacht before jumping off the edge of a cliff. Doug shares a delightful one-on-one date with Emily as they explore the picturesque city of St. George. The seaworthy group date finds eight men on sailboats competing in a spirited regatta for extra time with the Bachelorette. Finally, it all culminates on a night where the inclement weather rolls in along with drama at the cocktail party. Two
men face off as nerves are fraying before the tense rose ceremony and tearful bachelors are eliminated before the lucky group of remaining men travel to London, on “The Bachelorette,” MONDAY, JUNE 4 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.
Once the men arrive at the Rosewood Tucker’s Point Hotel and Spa, a jubilant Doug discovers that he will spend the day alone with Emily. As he waits for Emily to pick him up, a few of the guys decide to “push his buttons,” and Doug loses his cool. But will he let his temper show in front of the Bachelorette? The couple spend the day discovering the magic of St. George, shopping for souvenirs, creating their own scent at a perfumeria and having a blast watching some local dancers. But Emily has a surprise for Doug that will have special meaning to him. However, that doesn’t stop her from grilling him over dinner to find out if he is too good to be true. Will she believe his “perfect” answers and give him a rose or send him home?

The next day Emily treats eight men to a special day on the water at the Bermuda Yacht Club, where they learn proper sailing techniques. It’s a breeze until they discover that they need to compete in races against one another. The stakes are ratcheted up as the winning team will be rewarded with more time with Emily while the losing team goes back to the hotel. It’s an all out battle, but one team is left to celebrate with Emily on the dock while the other team sulks as they leave. The after party is full of surprises, as one handsome bachelor tries to impress the Bachelorette by referring to her as a possible “trophy wife,” but it is actually another smooth-talking man who charms her and scores the rose.

Two nervous bachelors – John and Nate – prepare to go on the dramatic two-on-one date. They board a luxury yacht, joining Emily to enjoy the beautiful Bermudian scenery before they head for a remote spot where they all jump off the ledge of a cliff into the crystal blue waters below. The three head to Bermuda’s oldest cave for dinner where Emily spends private time with each man, desperately trying to decide who would be better for her. At the end of the evening, she makes a painful decision, sending one devastated man home, while the other bachelor gets the rose.

Anxiety hangs over the cocktail party like the stormy weather that is about to hit the area. One overconfident suitor begins to rub the guys the wrong way, while another bachelor confronts a man who had questioned his age and maturity. At the end of the evening, 10 men remain, and it will be up to Emily to determine if she is in love with any of them when they get to their next spectacular stop on the adventure -- London.


The 13 remaining men are:
Alejandro, 24, a mushroom farmer from San Francisco, CA
Arie, 30, a race car driver from Scottsdale, AZ
Charlie, 32, a recruiter from Nashville, TN
Chris, 25, a corporate sales director from Chicago, IL
Doug, 33, a charity director/realtor from Seattle, WA
Jef, 27, an entrepreneur from Salt Lake City, UT
John “Wolf,” 30, a data destruction specialist from St. Louis, MO
Kalon, 27, a luxury brand consultant from Houston, TX
Michael, 27, a rehab counselor from Austin, TX
Nate, 26, an accountant from Los Angeles, CA
Ryan, 31, a pro sports trainer from Augusta, GA
Sean, 28, an insurance agent from Dallas, TX
Travis, 30, an advertising sales representative from Madison, MS

5.75 million viewers? Yikes! I know it was a holiday weekend, but those number are still astonishingly low. I bet MF probably died a little inside this morning.

TV Ratings: 'America's Got Talent' holds on to Monday lead for NBC

Fast National ratings for Thursday, May 24, 2012.

The second Monday episode of the Howard Stern era of "America's Got Talent" held up reasonably well at the end of a holiday weekend, leading NBC to a win in demos and viewers on a slow Memorial Day night.

For the full three hours of primetime, NBC averaged a 1.9 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic, and 6.2 million viewers overall. Thanks to "The Bachelorette," ABC was second with a 1.5 and 5.2 million, followed by CBS (1.2, 5.1 million), FOX (0.8, 2.4 million) and the CW (0.3, 678,000).

8 p.m. -- Last week's debut of the Stern-ified "Got Talent" had been considered something of a disappointment considering how much NBC spent to hire the radio legend. The hope was that the ratings would rise once there was lesser competition, but the Monday of a three-day weekend is a bad gauge of that. As it is, "Got Talent" (2.7 demo rating, 10 million viewers) was down 13 percent in the demo from last week, but up about 500,000 viewers. It was still an easy winner for the hour, followed by "The Bachelorette" (1.7, 5.6 million), down more than 30 percent from its first hour last week (which had a "Dancing with the Stars" lead-in), then "How I Met Your Mother" and "2 Broke Girls" repeats on CBS (1.1, 4 million), a "House" repeat on FOX (0.7, 2.3 million) and a "Gossip Girl" repeat on the CW (0.3, 560,000).

9 p.m. -- "The Bachelorette" and NBC's "American Ninja Warrior" were in a dead heat in the demo, each getting a 2.0 rating, but "Bachelorette" drew 5.9 million compared to 5.7 million for "Ninja." CBS was third with repeats of "Two and a Half Men" and "Mike & Molly" (1.3, 5.6 million), followed by another "House" repeat for FOX (0.8, 2.5 million) and a "Hart of Dixie" repeat on the CW (0.3, 797,000).

10 p.m. -- Drama repeats on all three networks, with CBS "Hawaii Five-0" (1.2, 5.5 million) edging out NBC's "Grimm" (0.9, 2.8 million) and ABC's "Castle" (0.8, 4.2 million).

It was a bit of a bore and if I wasn't watching it this year to see the spoiler develop I doubt I would have tuned in or I would have switched channels.

TV Ratings: Memorial Day Brings Softer 'Bachelorette,' 'America's Got Talent'

With summer encores settling in, Monday's two big reality offerings take small hits on the holiday.
ABC's The Bachelorette also was down as it shifted to 8 p.m. to fill the vacancy left by Dancing With the Stars. The two-hour broadcast earned a 1.8 rating among adults 18-49, a 25 percent drop from last week.

Just saw you already posted about the ratings Archer. I thought the ratings would be better this season, but they really aren't.

Emily has turned out to be a much better Bachelorette than I was initially expecting. But I never thought she would be a monster ratings draw the way MF did, and I'm surprised that he didn't know better. Once Emily was announced as the next 'Ette, whenever I read comments at people.com, ew.com, or the show's Facebook page, for every comment expressing excitement for Emily's season, there was another one saying they wouldn't watch because they found her boring, hypocritical, etc. So I definitely didn't think she'd have huge ratings. But I was expecting them to actually be a little higher than Ashley's and Ben's. I'm really surprised that they've been lower.

It is better when we dont know the end, knowing the end makes it boring

Can someone bring all the pictures that include Emily and/or Jef over to this thread? They look really interesting.. Jef is in several of them.
