Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #3

[bilolo]

i think people are so focused in the one they're rooting for that they miss the discussions of the lead with other guys (like saying the guys only cares for Emily and do not talk about Ricki while we know they did)

[Hotmomma]

Yes Sean and Emily have talked about Ricki a lot..I did post it somewhere..

so I do agree with the above posters..

I don't know where to post this thought so I guess here is just as good as as any..

I like the edited Jef on the show much more that what I seen before and after..He seems so shy and quiet on the show..but in pre and post show not so much..

Besides, Emily spoke to Sean and asked Sean how many kids he wanted and discussed what she wanted in terms of family. She said nothing of the sort to Jef1.
But each episode they (Sean and Emily) have been talking about Ricki and how she would handle Em in a new relationship.

I found it interesting that Em told Sean that she wanted lots of kids YESTERDAY when CH told her that might not be the best idea. Was she unconsciously trying to scare him off? Hmmm.

I think she spoke with all the top 4, at least, about Ricki, more kids, etc. TPTB choose to show us what they want us to see.
It is becoming mind boggling watching people try to one up each other.

No one is trying to one up anyone. If you see how this discussion even started, the poster said that she hadn't seen the other guys talking about Ricki that they were all about Emily and we merely pointed out that in fact the other guys (Sean at least in the post I did) has been having conversations about Ricki with Emily regularly. All of which were shown to us. No one upping at all.

And I definitely agree with your 1st statement anyway.

I get the feeling that many out there don't think Jef is the right fit for Emily. I think he is the perfect fit. Not just for Emily for Ricki also. I don't see the other guys stepping up to the plate and being fun, with even stupid situations. They are all about Emily, and aren't saying much about Ricki. This is where Jef has taken the lead. He's asked her about Ricki, and toasted to Ricki. He is the calm that she needs. He can be fun and serious. My nephew is the same way and married a lady with 3 children. They are constantly doing things and having family outings. He saw how to be first hand from his father. My sisters husband is funny, loves to travel have fun. They have been married 40+ years. He treats my sister like a queen every day. Jef is a mold from the same character, they will fit great together and have a happy life.

Sean and Emily have spoken about Ricki in almost every episode that they have shown 1on1 time with Emily. Not sure how this is being so missed ? Oh yeah Jef is F1.

And I would like to add that I see all 3 of the guys as having a calming effect upon Emily, and I am trying to keep an open mind. I also believe that all 3 of these guys can be fun to be around and are capable of planning fun family outings that are entertaining. These are 3 very different guys from very different backgrounds. Some will have more money than others with which to plan those family outings, but the bottom line is that Arie, Jef and Sean seem like they have a calming effect on Emily and have given me the feeling that they would be fun to be around, each with their own distinct personality and sense of humor.

because we see what we want to see

Tell me about it.

True but we also only see what TPTB want us to, I can't say what she has and hasn't talked about with any of the guys. Doesn't mean that many of these discussions also didn't take place with Jef and Arie. Also, I think them showing him talk about Ricki solidifies him as being in the F2 over Arie to me.

I was about to post something similar. Sean seems very interested in how Ricki fits in the equation of his relationship with Emily, including how he would view her as is daughter and if she would be okay with Emily getting married. IMO, Sean seems to be just as ready if not more ready than Jef to be a father. One look and read about how he treats his niece and nephew will tell you that.

Besides, Emily spoke to Sean and asked Sean how many kids he wanted and discussed what she wanted in terms of family. She said nothing of the sort to Jef1.
But each episode they (Sean and Emily) have been talking about Ricki and how she would handle Em in a new relationship.

Sean's edit reminds me a lot of Charlie Maher in Trista's (since I foolishly watched that right before this one), but without Charlie's critical streak. Sean did comment on Kalon in episode #2, but is otherwise pretty laid back and not involved in the drama. Trista didn't just discuss kids with Charlie. They were picking baby names in the hot tub! Not once did we hear daddy talk with Ryan until the final rose ceremony. Ryan was the "dreamer" and Charlie the everything-happens-for-a-reason "realist".

Picking baby names in the hottub using babytalk. Uggh, I rewatched Trista and Ryan's HTD date and it reminded me of what grated on my nerves that season- babytalk voice.

Anyway, i think the problem is we interpret what a couple of posters say to be what everyone says. Many of the Jef posters- although gaga over Jef- and to be fair to Sean and Arie fans "sickeningly so"- they also like and see the connection with Arie and Sean. I am a Jef fan- I clearly heard the conversation with Sean over children.
Sean I haven't thought much about it. But two would be great. Emily- yada, yada Sean- 6, 10, 12 kids.
He is a great guy, he will be an amazing father someday and if Emily did choose him. Congrats, she would be lucky. We just believe she didn't choose him.

Yes post show especially. Too in your face for me but maybe ok for em. We don't really know what is for real. Only what the edit wants us to see and I don't see a long term life style but who knows.

[Piper61]

What do you all mean by "post show" in your face?

[Cecilia]

Well post show is different because he is becoming an instant "celebrity" with fans and what not so he posts pics and promotes his business. He would be stupid not to.
