Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Discussion - Thread #4

First thought that popped into my head after reading the news – she didn’t pick at FRC and is going to pick at ATFR.

Second thought that popped into my head – if that’s the case, doesn’t seem to bode well for anyone not named Jef because there has been no evidence of her possibly meeting up with any of the others.

Third thought – what the heck could have happened at the FRC that they want to keep so far under wraps? It just seems like something unusual must have happened and I can’t think of what it might be.

Final thought – oh dear God, please don’t let this be about something ridiculous like a wedding.

In conclusion – I think that I think she’s going to choose to date Jef at FRC, and maybe they’ll get engaged at FRC. But I’m honestly not sure anymore. I’m so confused. Can anyone convince me this is a straightforward decision just about scheduling and promoting BachPad, and that it doesn’t mean there is some sort of key info that we’re missing?

I think this is another 'hyped up' situation that won't deliver...a 'final lap' effort to pull viewers!

I think they moved the FRC and ATFR to Sunday because of scheduling. The live ATFR part is something I think they just came up with last minute to get even more people talking and speculating about what is going to happen.

ETA: They can hype up the premiere of bachelor pad also. They will probably show a sneak peak of it.

I think airing the finale on a Sunday night would have less people tuning in than a Monday night. ABC knows it and Emily's episodes have not done exceptionally well as expected, they have to go with a live ATFR to increase to suspense and hopefully boost the Sunday ratings

Who thinks Emily and Jef are going to get married on July 22nd or just get formally engaged with Ricki by their side?

I am fairly certain she is going to announce she & Ricki are moving to SLC to start their new life

My prediction is that she chose Jef, but did not get engaged and dated after the show. The bubble has now burst for her IRL and they have broken up. On the LIVE ATFR Em will tell the world the sad news and MF & CH will drag out Trista/Ryan, Jason/Molly & JP/Ashley for fillers. I know the tabloids print trash, but the stories about this scenario seem to have a grain of truth in them. "Emily is having doubts about the guy she chose", "he's not who she thought he was", "he's a party animal and his parents don't even know how wild he is". Sounds like Jef to me. Of course, it could all be a load of crock and they are happily together and since she wasn't sure at the FRC, they will get engaged at the ATFR......OR NOT!

I think she and Ricki will be moving to SLC & all 3 of them are happily involved right now if it's engaged, married or dating I do think they are happy. I feel that this past week seemed a bit "off" with them in twitter world but that could be for a variety of reasons 1 being Ricki's birthday and the other being Emily traveling to NYC. I must admit I am a bit bummed we have to wait an extra week for the FRC. I have been counting down the days!!!

We had a board member that went to the ATFR last season. We had absolute proof because of this. The only way to prevent this is to have it LIVE. Emily chose Jef at the FRC, got engaged and spent an extra 4 days with him. She has since met up with him at least 4 times and even brought Ricki with her last time. JMO

I miss her this season. She did say she was pregnant and so happy. Miss you, AC, hope all is well.

Probably very busy with new baby :babies:

No way do I think they're getting married on the ATFR. I can see them getting engaged at that time if they didn't at the FRC, but I doubt Ricki would be there during it. Having a 7 year old at a live show seems way too unpredictable if she doesn't know exactly what's going to happen during the whole thing... what if she started screaming or crying during the engagement or when Emily says we're moving to Utah? TPTB would probably love that but I don't think Emily would want to have Ricki there while taping live. JMO.
