Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

I have a question....if Em picked anyone but Jef (let's say Sean), would those who are complaining about her expensive ring still be doing so??
I think some people are just saying those things because Jef's family is wealthy. I just doubt this conversation would be taking place if Sean was the F1.

please don't put words in my mouth - even if I had issue with the price of the ring (which I don't) my opinoin would be the same if she picked the farmer.

Actually Anders, I wasn't even thinking of you. I totally understand some here truly just like to sleuth without any favorites, but I think some people are just upset because she picked Jef, and I just wondered how they would feel if their fav was picked - would the ring still be an issue?

They always exaggerate the worth of the ring. And we always have this same discussion.

I got the same thing from this article which is :

Only 1 guy at the FRC.

What made you think that? I know other people said it too, I don't know why though.

Got the impression from reading the article :Smiley: . IMO of course.


Plus that sort of ties up in my mind the spoiler. Love_Me spoiled Jef as F1 before the FRC even took place. How would anyone know this unless there was only 1 man standing on that day ???

Love_Me can correct my assumption if she wishes but that is how I saw it and this article merely back it all up for me. Agin, JMO .

I think most would still rag on about the ring but ABC bought it.She should take the ring and run (with Jef of course)

And we don't have to respect her for it, and we can judge public figures as much as we like for their choices. i.e., notwithstanding the absolute legality of doing so, I wouldn't respect Ali for cashing in the Neil Lane ring after a failed engagement. Or Shayne for selling it as if it were a bikini in a goody bag. They are free to do as they like, and we are free to comment. I love my country. Is there a flag waving emoticon?

And I appreciate it. I was just wondering what I was misisng.

So now because Emily chose Jef...she has to take a vow of poverty? Wow just Wow!

Jef's family is l-o-a-d-e-d. They makes the Hendricks family look poor however the Holm's family is well known in Utah for giving to the community and those in need. Emily won't miss a beat in her preferred style of living.

I don't know about that. The Hendrick family is worth over $250M and his race teams are over $300M plus he owns Chevrolet dealers all over the South...not that it really matters.

Sure. We'll see how this all pans out but this made most sense in my mind. And believe me - that is about on of the only things that is :Smiley: .

I know we are free to comment, I was just wondering if some fans would feel different if it was their fav.....I know I have a favorite in this race, but I still love to discuss things about all the guys. I feel I am always a fair poster, but these days, I am actually afraid to write a question or give an observation, because people jump on others so quickly. It doesn't have to be sides. People can disagree and discuss it without being made to feel attacked. I know this will anger some people, and I think I will take a few days off....it's probably best for me anyway, I spend too much time here. And it just isn't fun anymore.
jlccaz, this isn't directed to you, I just happen to be quoting your answer.

didn't Ashley Hebert get a 150k ring? Way more expensive than Emily's!

Edit: No, it was 60k. Emily's is a little bit more expensive, but whatever.

That is exactly the point I am making.

Monte Holm is ceo or World Finanacial Group worth billions. I imagine his salary and stock is worth similar if not more but you might be right. Alot of money either way :shocked!:

I didn't want to comment about the cost of rigns, gowns, exotic locations and the like but these things are just an example of how blown out of proportion this franchise is.
