Every season people believe what the tabloids say. I am going to stick with they are very happy and still together. Remember Jef said his family is very private. So chances are he is keeping everything that way. DeAnna posted on Twitter yesterday that "if" Emily and Brad were texting it isn't a big deal. DeAnna and Brad texted after the show for a time just to say hi. I think everyone is trying to make this into a real big deal. I don't think that is the case. And as far as no ATFR. My take is if she lets Sean go before the FR then she has already explained things to him and why. Which we will probably see on tv. The other thing is if there is a wedding involved, then that would be current information. I still wish them nothing but the best.

But what the tabloids said about Courtney and Ben was true right ? :winkie:
I do not care though

The tabloids are a little bit of truth, a lot of sensationalism, and a dash of speculation that leave people guessing. As cfck noted, the sorts of stories leaked--the features and the tone--hint at the show's finale and post-finale projections. Take them for what you will, but they tell us something.

Thanks, cfck. Always a fascinating read.

I know this is said a lot and part of me believes this true, but then another part tells me that most of these couples break up after the show so the post-finale projection doesn't really mean anything. I mean they should just hint every season that the couple won't make it and they would probably eventually be right.

I think that they usually do hint that most of them won't make it with the exceptions being Ali and Ashley to large effect. The tenor of the stories and the subjects of those stories reveal the attitude toward the season, the lead, and the contestants.

I don't dismiss them out of turn, but I understand the reason that some people do. Each season, though, they've revealed some portion of truth undergirding the production.

I keep thinking back to her statement about not being really good at a lot of things but she knows she's a good at being a mother. With her looks and the name recognition she could probably have found some endorsement things and I don't recall any. I really do think her reasons for doing the show were legitimate. Now will it work out for her and F1? Who the heck knows but I do think he's better suited for her temperment wise than Brad.

Advancing a career in entertainment is in my view the MOST, not least, legitimate reason to do the show. People go on TV because they have something to gain by being on TV, and no one will ever persuade MOI that "find a spouse" is the reason. Sport, adventure, bromance, make out sessions, travel ... also good reasons. I always think they cry because they are being sent home from the Best Spring Break Trip Ever.

and I feel very strongly that is exactly why she's doing this. Notice after Brad 2.0 they did nothing, nada, zip and this season she has been all over the place, everywhere - even posing for twitter pics - she is soooo obviously in this for what she can get out of it. But she doesn't appear to have any qualifiable talent/skill - but a pretty, altered face can go a long way in Hollyweird.

this is exactly what i think too and if you can find a good guy by doing the show, it's just a bonus High clap

And even IF he did know, that was so long ago that the link to what may (or not) be happening now seems very very strainuous... makes sense?

For me, Ryan saying she's making the wrong choice or a bad decision is wrapped up in his mind only. There is no way he knew the resultant outcome back then. He truly believed that he was everything she would want and more, I don't think he can see that not all women would jump at the chance to be with him. He's confident to the point of being arrogant at times. Emily did not feel that she could be herself 100% of the time around him, she would not bring him back. Nor would she go down the road traveled with Brad again either. I firmly am holding on to my belief that she's still in love and happy with her F1.

by NCGalBecca Thu Jun 28, 2012 10:16 am

Of the various scandals being bandied about..regarding Emily and the show.. today, about 75% of today's articles and videos are all about the possibility of Emily and Chris H. being in love...not just on the regular entertainment sites, but on off-topic sites, too. I'm not seeing much mention of Brad at all.

This is not quite the publicity angle that I expected to take off. Hopefully, The Machine and CH aren't complicit with this one but it's somewhat novel as far as scandals or gossip for this show goes. It presents a running theme of sorts after the Cassie/Arie thing - that the behind the scenes stuff is more interesting than the show itself to entities currently trying to attract readers.

This whole Emily and Chris is thing is funny.

Can you all imagine that if it is NOT true (and who knows) ....how awkard all the post show interviews will be ? CH is normally friendly with the B'ettes but now he has to be additionally careful of what he says and how he acts. Too bad.
Obviously if it is true it would be the most dramatic ATFR ever !!!!
