Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

[Guest]

OMG!!!!! An ex who actually has good things to say - that in itself is newsworthy!

LOL! Ain't that the truth.

One thing I remembered that seems spoilerrific though I don't actually know if it's accurate.

The US Weekly article claims Emily was pissed off when she found out Arie had dated a B'ette producer (obviously Cassie but she's not named) in 2003. The article claims Emily stopped speaking to Cassie for a while despite Cassie having been her confidante. The article also claims Emily cut Arie immediately when she found out.

But she took Arie on the FD! Thought she found out during HTD. Not buying that part but I think the no group date rose is correct.

She wanted Jef to get violent on Kalon? Because that sure solves things... I have a hard time believing that. And I believe Love's source, so the last part about Arie is irrelevant to me.

Kalon would have killed him... :winkie:

You mean knocked him senseless with his LV luggage!

What a mental image

[Archer23]

Was Jef on this date? I didn't think he was, so I am wondering if they got this wrong and it was Arie. The media thing for next week says Arie is in the hot seat...so maybe him??

I doubt he was there because he had a 1 on 1 the next day. Unless I'm missing something here I believe Arie was the one on the hot seat not Jef.

In one of the other threads, it was sleuthed that the comment was made while Emily and Sean were on their 1-on-1 date, because on the GD, Chris says "Yesterday, he was saying stuff I was shocked to hear." So, even if Jef wasn't present when the comment was made, it certainly appears to have become a hot topic of conversation before the group date the next day. Maybe Emily confronted Arie on the group date, and then tells Jef on his 1-on-1 that she wishes he would've punched Kalon. (And violence is never the answer, Emily. Tsk tsk.)

nothing is certain at this point about the FD

arie, jef and sean went on HTD but then before the fantasy date, it is said that arie was the F3.

it is all for debate who is F2 at this point. I am dying to know the circumstances he left tho.

I cannot wait to watch jef 1:1 and sean 1:1 and make a fair comparison between all 3.

I agree!! It's really hard to compare Emily's reactions with Arie vs. her reactions to the other guys when we've been limited in what we've been shown. I just find it impossible to believe that she was so over the top with Arie that there was never any chance for anyone else. We've seen the pictures of Jef and Emily in London and we've seen the pictures of Sean and Emily in London - we've also seen the infamous library pictures - all taken before the HTD when so many speculate that 'something went wrong'. But, if it was all Arie and only Arie until the htd then why haven't we seen any other pictures of Emily and Arie hot and heavy during Europe - even in Bermuda their scenes together seemed lukewarm.

I think there are stills available of their time in Prague to contract your assertion. But I am not playing the role of Screencap Goddess even part time this year.

Thought I'd post this little portion from my US Weekly that I bought today...hope it is interesting. I don't buy into ALL of what US Weekly says, but it certainly throws up a couple of signal flares for me in terms of losing parts of the WHOLE story...

From SHE HAS A TEMPER (p. 56-57)
"...After the two (Maynard and Womack) split in June 2011 and she was tapped to be the Bachelorette, "she got difficult" says a show source. "She knew she was the star, so she became a bit of a diva." That attitude rears its head in an episode airing June 11. Maynard goes off the rails when she learns Kalon McMahon, 27, referred to her daughter as "baggage". She rages "I want to go West Virginia hood-rat backwoods on his ass" and tell him to "get the f--k out." She later tells contestant Jef Holm, 27, she's upset he didn't give McMahon a black-eye. And she refuses to hand out a date rose because she's angry the men didn't fill her in earlier about McMahon's shadiness.

Race car driver Arie Luyendyk, Jr. also got on her bad side. During shooting, Maynard learned Luyendyk had dated a female Bachelorette producer in 2003. "She was livid," says a source. "She cut him right then and there. Her ego was shot." The show source said Maynard briefly stopped speaking to the producer. "She was Emily's confidante," says the source. "Emily felt betrayed."

I don't believe that Emily was high as diva-like as this purports, but it's interesting that she doesn't give out a group rose. Did we know that?

Dang, Emily! She's a fun Bachelorette to watch, but I've thought ever since Brad's ATFR that she definitely has a temper. At least the guys got to see what they were in for this time.

HI!

This introduces one of my FAVORITE perennial topics for those Fan-Girling about the F1 (presumably, Jef this year) -- if you love him so much, are you sure you WANT the Lead to be the one he proposes to?? The lead gets so built up, coupled with this vague sense that a favorite should "win", that no one really backs up and says, why on earth should (as to this year) this guy end up with this girl. Only to be cussed out, and be forced to support her Career in the Public Eye. She is not an angel. She is just a person.

Bingo! I like Emily well enough and I'm sure she's a lovely person, but her temper (at least as I perceive it) is one of the reasons I don't see her and Sean as a match at all.

[nutty1]

I agree. Just yesterday, I was wondering if she is a good fit for any of these 3 guys.

[Bet2Win]

Yes you were.

I have posted a few times about how Emily has been alone with Ricki always, calling all of the shots with respect to raising Ricki. It's going to be a process for her to let go of the reigns, and not easy for her to hear someone else's imput on decisions relative to Ricki.

She pretty much told Ryan on their date that she intends to stay in control. I don't know Emily at all, and she doesn't know herself as a wife and mother, yet. It's not easy under the best of circumstances, let alone her circumstances. Yes, there are blended families galore, but usually the single parent has had the father's imput somewhere along the line. She has a routine that is probably fairly entrenched. As much as she wants a partner, there's going to be major adjustments for her.

[Jeepers]

Be honest folks .. EVERYone has a temper .. Just push the right button
