He played hard to get. It's not exactly exemplary. It isnt evil, but I wouldn't like it if someone did that to my sister. It's like he read The Rules - and it worked!

Funny enough, Emily sure seemed like a "Rules" girl during Brad's season. Amazing how things come full circle sometimes.

We may be seeing a lot more of that in the next Bachelorette series. LOL. Maybe some of the women could take note on The Bachelor instead of throwing themselves at the lead, too. :Smiley:

The "done with dating on reality TV" and "wouldn't accept the Bachelor if it were offered" strikes me that way, too.

Well, I met him, and I can totally see how he does (have the girl). Nothing phased him while we watched the show Monday with him. He joked about Sean kissing her, pretending he was mad. Everyone was teasing him about it, too. He just watched it not like he was trying to figure things out but just like he wanted to see the show, what they showed. He seemed totally cool about it all, and very happy.

There were a lot of cute girls at the party and you could tell he was there just to tell people about his experience and hang out. But he didn't seem to have any interest other than to just be friendly, with anyone.

Me and Joni's story has always been, he just seemed happy, fine.

It's interesting you left out what he did when Arie was kissing Emily. This is what Jonifry55 said --

For me i was just trying to tell you much you seem to know him by saying here it was not a strategy from Jef but then in the recap it said it was a strategy

For this i just wanted to say that we should be careful of the perception we have of these contestants because it might not be the case like here

Jef said that his and Emily's relationship took a while to develop because it started as a friendship first. He told me that it was a strategy to keep Emily guessing and keep her on her toes when it came to his feelings at first. He said that all of the other guys would jump up and get her drinks and fight for time with her, but he took a more laid back approach and he thinks it worked!

I have to agree. We heard him tell Emily that it WASN'T a strategy. So yeah, he pretty much lied to Emily given what we were shown on the last episode.

Yeah what she said above. :)

This is a televised dating show! She dates more than one person! Give me a break.

Oops, I meant to the post above me from proudmommy about it him not lying. She posted their conversation, which I did and I deleted.

It's such an aggregious lie, right? Not so much. I don't think he "lied", it was a moment they talked and joked about. And for all we know, that's partly why he threw that out there in the interview. He asked her if it worked, she basically said yes it had, and that's when he said, yeah, it was a strategy.

I don't even see it as a lie. Every guy there had some sort of strategy. If he is F1 as is rumoured I am sure they have talked about his approach.

I'm not following what was dishonest? that he had a strategy of playing hard to get? Couldn't it be said Arie had a strategy of laying it on thick?

I'm not trying to be fiesty just legit don't see how him saying he had a strategy is not trustworthy?

Some people thought that in last week's episode, Jef told Emily that it WASN'T a strategy...therefore he lied and is not trustworthy. But if you listen to their conversation, he never says that.

I can't wait either. Based on what he said today we know it is gonna be great. giggling

ETA: And about the other stuff being discussed here, who cares? He got the girl in the end and he has kept the girl in the end, that is all that matters. Hugesmile

I would think most of the guys have some sort of strategy when coming onto the show - even if it's just them thinking ahead of time 'how am I going to get her to notice me?'

by lavenderred Thu Jun 21, 2012 5:14 pm

Oh, I think the whole strategy thing from the beginning was dishonest. Very Jesse C of him.

IMO the good guys are the ones who go into the experience open and honest and don't play any games.
