Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

[Guest]

Maybe this is being discussed in a different thread, but I think it's really significant. This is helping me make sense of why she kept seeking him out in the first episodes. from Wetpaint.

Michelle Money and Emily Maynard were the only single moms on The Bachelor Season 15 and they became fast friends. And that’s not the only thing they have in common!

According to Us Weekly, Michelle’s brother Doug is longtime friends with Bachelorette cutie Jef Holm, who also lives in the Salt Lake City area. "When Doug found out that Jef was going on the show, he called Emily and told her what a good guy Jef is," a source tells Us Weekly. "Doug said to keep Jef around. He really thought they would get along."

That would further explain why Emily seemed immediately drawn to Jef — beyond just loving his skateboard and "super cool" vibe — and why she keeps going out of her way to chase him instead of making it the other way around. Maybe it’s an unfair advantage to tell a Bachelor/ette about a contestant in advance … then again, Michelle tried to warn Bachelorette Ashley Hebert about Bentley Williams and that didn’t work. Maybe all future contestants should be vetted by Michelle.

Wow. Things are making a little more sense now. I bet Doug told her about Jef's business and the Holms family as well. http://www.wetpaint.com/the-bachelorette/articles/source-friend-urged-bachelorette-emily-maynard-to-keep-jef-holm-around

Michelle and Doug have denied telling Emily anything before she went on the show. (to me privately and Michelle in a blog I think). Believe who you want of course, but I go with them over a tabloid.

I almost always am a "lurker" on this site and rarely post, but I saw this today and wanted to post it.

If it is not the correct forum, please feel free to move it, as I am a "newbie" at posting, so to speak..

Obviously, and to no suprise at all, the "bad" press has commenced with respect to Emily, but no matter what she will always be my favorite Bachelorette other than Jillian (a fellow Canadian and of course I fell in love with Reid..)

I so adore Emily and I am so happy that I can look forward to Monday nights now instead of dreading them when Ben and the girls were on...although I have to admit I didn't really watch much of that and I am a mega fan of the series!

Also, I wanted to say that I really think it all comes down to chemistry between two people...both emotional and physical chemistry and if you do not have both there is no way the relationship is going to last in the long run.

I know, personally speaking, that if I don't have both with someone, it doesn't work for me, but just having one half of the chemisty might last for a while, but never for the long haul!

I think Em had physical chemisty with Arie and emotional chemistry with Jef, which ended up turning into emotional and physical chemisty with Jef and therefore..well we know the story thanks to Love Me. Of course this is all just my learned opinion..

Lastly, I want to say thank you to San and Love Me for such an amazing and addictive site which I so adore and cannot wait to read every moring and evening....so THANK YOU.....as well as a huge shout out to the wonderful members with their amazing sleuthing skills..you all never cease to amaze me!!!

Apologies if old news here. But I found it interesting that network publicity is mixing it up a bit, and allowing SEAN to do a teleconference today (because who cares about Charlie, really, a minor bit player)?

PLEASE JOIN US TOMORROW FOR A TELECONFERENCE CALL WITH SEAN – STILL IN THE RUNNING TO WIN EMILY’S HEART – AND CHARLIE, ONE OF TWO BACHELORS WHO WERE ELIMINATED THIS WEEK ON ABC’S “THE BACHELORETTE”
SPECIAL REVISED MEDIA ALERT
WHAT: Teleconference call with Sean – still one of Emily’s ardent suitors -- and Charlie, one of two men eliminated from “The Bachelorette” this week, as the field begins to seriously narrow.

WHEN: Thursday, June 7, 12:30 p.m., ET/11:30 a.m., CT/9:30 a.m., PT

WHO: Charlie, 32, a recruiter from Nashville, TN, survived a near-fatal accident almost two years ago, but had fully recovered and had a new outlook on life. He impressed Emily by overcoming the extreme anxiety he suffered at the Muppets charity event, as he developed serious performance-related panic. However, he was up to challenge as he charmed Miss Piggy as well as Emily. Charlie managed to fly under the radar in a number of group dates and unfortunately, was on the losing sailboat racing team in Bermuda and unable to spend extra time getting to know Emily. Finally, when he was let go, he lamented not being more open with the Bachelorette, but he felt he did leave his feelings on the line, as his tears mixed with raindrops outside the hotel.

AND THEN an additional special opportunity to talk to Sean, 28, from Dallas, TX, who has a romantic one-one-one date coming up in the June 11 episode with Emily in London, which could be the turning point in their relationship. He will also preview the drama between Emily and the remaining men. Who was the bachelor who insulted her daughter and why didn’t the rest of the guys come to her rescue?

Re: the Daily Mail article, bad press is still press and with the anemic ratings, they need to drum up business so I'm not surprised to see the dirt/scandal stuff coming out now. Especially since the sweet gal/romantic angle isn't selling with viewers. I'm sure TPTB appreciate anything that works.

I've seen the stuff in the Daily Mail article and more at UNC alum board that I belong to - mostly from Charlotte area men in her social circle that know her, Wendy, the Hendricks, etc. Let's just say they offer a different view of her and her situation than the PR package that ABC put forth.

It makes me think that they are preparing him for the next Bachelor role if Roberto and Arie both tell them "No!"

I think that one has a pretty big "consider the source" element to it.

I also think pretty much everyone who does this show is ambitious and a bit self-centered, interested in the lime light. And it's OK. Both my kids love the limelight and have a little too much confidence at times, but they do the right things when it counts most, and hopefully that is true with Emily. I have certainly enjoyed how well she seems to read her guys.

As for money, given that she is used to a certain lifestyle, it is logical to expect her to try to match it in marriage. She grew up wealthy, too. It would really strain a marriage if she suddenly had to learn how to count coupons. Sometimes it is smart to recognize that you just don't know how to live below a certain level. Do I think that is a shame? Yes, I do. We would all like to think that love conquers all and that all we need is to be with the right person. But real life is more complicated than that, and it is good to be tuned into what adjustments you can make and still be OK, and what adjustments will be more difficult for you, to the point of straining the relationship. All of which is probably why most people end up staying within their original economic class.

I agree, seems like grooming.

I go back to Meredith's season and I can't recall this happening before.
