Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

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.

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 think the Hendricks are richer.

People are always saying how the Hendricks support Emily financelly, but I think Emily's family has a lot money too. Does anyone know if Emily comes from a wealthy family???

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.

I don't have a problem with the ring, I love it. And I think it is being over-valued. I tried on a similar square cut 4K diamond ring in a very reputable, high quality jewelry store, and it's price tag was $40,000.

[anders]

the price of the ring is always an issue every season, not just this one. and there were a couple of bachs who actualy paid for the ring themselves.

for us po folk, it seems like a waste of money - but for the fantasy of this show, I dont' have issue with it since it will likely go back to Neil Diamond Lane anyway.

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?

Over the top
This season too full of excess and boring boring dates

can we say 'High Maintenance' season.... on so many levels.

Even need to spill the beans to the ratings up

Yes very clever

So true..they're having to work their PR hearts out this season to make it work. It's interesting to watch such a miscalculation (their choice of the lead, the chosen storyboard (boring dates, etc) at work and how they are trying to fix it or overcome the mess made with various tactics.

I still say that they actually needed the boost that they received from RS in the past. Shutting him down in the fashion that they did essentially killed one of their best promotion channels. Both parties benefited from the, err, "relationship".

I thought we were free to have opinions about the cast...I have always had the same opinion of Emily since Brads Afr. She just proved me right this season. Hi maintenance, hypocrite. Oh I'm never doing the bachelorette unless they give me money and fame. No hobbies or interests boring dates. Tweets about expensive jewelry and clothes. Never apologizes inher blogs when she acts like a complete&&)&$)$. Kim k wanna be.

Exactly. It's a good deal for Neil Diamond Lane (love that!) anyway, since he gets the free publicity and in most cases, eventually gets back the ring as well. And frankly, I don't blame the couples for taking the free ring; they generally earn it as combat pay (IF they even get to keep it).

Does this mean after midnight of May 10 and very early on May 11?

[Guest]

SOOOOOOO... a trashy tabloid with ZERO credibility...

Splashes a front page "Exclusive Bachelorette Interview" headline that turns out to be just garbage from a "pal", an "insider", and a "source"...

And y'all are running with it as a "PRESS RELEASE"???

Can we get uncalum and worseseason back on here? Might as well...

i love you rich.

That is the $64,000 question. Arie and Sean arrived back on May 11 (according to Love_Me) so was the FRC started on May 10 and ended at midnight/12:00 am on May 11, or did the FRC start on May 11 and end on May 12.
