Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

I am sure Sean was given some coaching on how to answer the questions. He is also an intelligent and thoughtful person who is not going to give loose-lipped answers.

and I may be wrong, but I think there is usually someone from MF productions with them so they can't say defer if they're not sure if they can or how to answer - I know it's happened before.

Agreed.

However....

But wouldn't Sean inadvertantly spill something too ? Not saying he will but he could.

I'm sure TPTB would be just as happy with this scenario as well. A "slip-up" would generate more sleuthing, more reading into his words trying to find hidden meanings, and more speculation... all of which leads to people back to their TVs every Monday night. I'd say it's a win-win in their books.

[Archer23]

I think Sean's call will be very interesting. He must not be THAT sad if they feel confident to put him on the call and not give it away...?

I certainly can't imagine they'd make him do it (or he'd be willing) if he was despondent and brokenhearted about the outcome of the season, which makes me happy. I've always said that I hope that once he was out of the bubble, he was able to heal pretty quickly.

I think Sean is more than fine .JMO.

LOL. I know.

Another nugget from US WEEKLY

SHE HAS A CONNECTION TO A CONTESTANT (P.58)

"Before signing on as the Bachelorette, Maynard struck up a friendship with Doug Cartwright, the brother of Michelle Money, who competed with Maynard on The Bachelor. Coincidentally, Cartwright is longtime pals with contestant Holm. "When Doug found out Jef was going on the show, he called Emily and told her what a good guy Jef is, " says a source. "Doug said to keep Jef around. He really thought they would get along." Seems Maynard took his advice: Internet reports suggest Holm - whom Maynard has called "supercool" - lasts a while."

Now that we've un-covered the fake posters who denied this, do we think this may have any validity now?

Just curious, not trying to stir the pot...

It might be valid, but I doubt it changed anything, unless you believe that Emily fell for nobody (and had no intention to from the start), and just picked Jef so that she could fulfill her contract and walk away with her big paycheck. Personally, I don't, but MMV.

Just hearing that Jef was a good guy from her friends would only perhaps "spare him" a quick elimination the first night, if he made a bad (or no) impression on her, over another non-entity. Or it might have saved him for another round or two (after all, even now she's still "trimming the fat", as there are several guys still there who she doesn't have the slightest interest in). But if she truly connected with somebody else, REALLY fell for that guy, and decided he would make a good husband for her, she wouldn't pick Jef over him just because of a recommendation.

Did it give him a slight unfair advantage? Probably, but this show isn't set up to be fair. The guys who get the early 1 on 1s, or ANY 1 on 1s, have a distinct advantage over guys who only get stuck on group dates. Guys who are better looking usually have an advantage over guys who aren't. Anyone think that Brent, ordinary looking single father of 6, had a shot at this? The only way to make the competition reasonably "fair" is to give every guy the exact same amount of time with her throughout the filming. Ain't happening.

[nutty1]

Couldn't it then be said Arie (Cassie connection) and Sean (friends with Jeremy) also had a bit of an advantage?
Ironic how these are her F3.

New Interview with Charlie and Sean

Charlie and Sean took some time out to chat about pursuing Emily on "The Bachelorette". Charlie was eliminated Monday night, but Sean is still on the show. This is one of the first times that ABC is allowing a bachelor who is still on the show to talk about their experience and preview some of the things that are coming up. We'll start with Charlie's part of the interview.

Charlie said that he felt like he had enough time with Emily on group dates despite not having a one-on-one but maybe that fact was his downfall after all. He did say that he was shocked he was sent home because the guys who were left were maybe not as suitable for her as he was.

He did address crying in the van on the way home from the sailing competition and he said, "I think all of us guys were all upset because we all have this competitive side to us, I never really cried during a loss growing up." He thinks he was more disappointed because he thought they had those guys beat. "I don’t remember being that upset, it was a long drive back," he said.

As for the "evil" Ryan, Charlie said that he actually got along with Ryan and found him to be a decent guy. When it comes to Kalon, he said that he didn't really get along with him as much as the other guys because he was kind of standoffish, he wouldn't play games with the guys and would never would take part in conversations. "Maybe he thought he didn’t fit in, I’m learning more about him by watching the show," Charlie said.

Charlie says that since his accident a year and a half ago, he is still going to speech therapy. He says there are still a lot of words he can’t pronounce. He said that, "if there are three or four syllables I have to sound it out." He said that his rehearsal with John during the Muppets group date made him go talk to her because he was afraid he might be made a fool of.

Charlie also said that he met Emily years ago and found her to be different. He said that she has a kind of "persona" for the show and said that the conversation flowed on his end but not so much on hers. She did remember Charlie's face and he had to remind her that they had met at a party. He said their conversation about it was never shown. Interesting!

Since being on the show he says that he has been requested to speak to children at children’s hospitals and he's so happy to have the opportunity to do that.



Now let's get to Sean's half of the interview. Sean gave a little preview of what would happen on his one-on-one date with Emily. He said that "Up until London I knew she was a great girl and we had connected on other levels, I’m not afraid to say it was one of the best dates of my life." It sounds like someone will be sticking around for quite a while! They apparently see the sights and take a double decker bus ride. He said that after that date he knew he had really strong feelings for her.

Sean said that going into this season, he knew it was Emily and knew she had a daughter and he was up for that. He said that he never really thought that he would be someones step-father but after connecting with Emily in London he was open to that and it became a real possibility.

Now, we all know the big "Baggage" comment made by one of the guys regarding Emily's daughter Ricki is coming up next Monday. Sean says it all happened on the group date that he wasn't on and that Doug tells Emily about it. He said that his hat is off to Doug for letting Emily know about it because if he had heard that he would have told her too to protect her.

Also he said that, "It didn’t surprise me that this person said that." Ouch! He added that once the guys came home from the group date it was all they could talk about and they loved Emily's strong reaction to that as well.

I'll have the full transcript of the interviews tomorrow! Have a great day!

[poohbear]

Sean had a conference?? Does that mean he's actually the F1?? why would they make him more visible if he's not F1...

1. To stir up articles about the show before Monday at 8 eastern.
2. To measure fan interest in Sean as a future character/lead in his own right.

That's bizarre. I wonder what her "persona" is that she portrays on the show vs. her real self?

[poohbear]

Sean had a conference?? Does that mean he's actually the F1?? why would they make him more visible if he's not F1...

1. To stir up articles about the show before Monday at 8 eastern.
2. To measure fan interest in Sean as a future character/lead in his own right.

why would they choose Sean to stir up the drama in episode 5.. he wasn't even on that group date...

and we know that Roberto is the next bachelor, i really don't think they'd ever come back to a F2 a year later to be the next bachelor.. if Sean were to become the next bachelor, it will be this coming season.

[Pattycake92]

Roberto has denied being interested. LaurenT confirmed. I wonder if they were worried Jef would slip up in the interview? I hope they do the commentary like they did last year.
