If it was last week, he's in Toronto. The picture could be from anytime. But if its true, at least he's moving on.

Not Toronto - she's from Scottsdale (or at least the Phoenix area).

I know that. I'm just commenting on her regular friday night last week (based on her words). Don't know when she really means. That's all.

Well, I don't have an Indy schedule handy but wouldn't he have been travelling most weekends? Unless there was a race in Phoenix I don't see how he'd be there on a Friday night - pretty sure Friday is one of the days he'd be driving people and Sat. is the light series race that he does commentary for so.....

Actually, just looked and the weekend of June 29th was free

Bachelorette host Chris Harrison is famous for keeping in touch with previous Bachelors and Bachelorettes, but this season's leading lady, Emily Maynard, isn't eager to be put on his speed dial.

"Chris has the personal info for all the people on the show, but he doesn't have Emily's," says a show source of Harrison, who regularly keeps in touch with Trista and Ryan Sutter, who completed on ABC's inaugural season of The Bachelorette in 2003.

Declared a diva by those on set around her, single mom Maynard, 26, isn't entirely cut off from Harrison, a second show insider insists. "Emily corresponds with Chris via text and Twitter," says the source.

As she prepares to hand out her final rose on the show's July 22 finale, Maynard isn't as concerned with Harrison as she is with top 2 contestants Jef Holm and Arie Luyendyk.

The first show source confirms that prior to beginning her search for love -- which brought her to Curacao on Monday's show -- Maynard grilled producers on the financial backgrounds of her suitors, including water bottle company CEO Holm, to see if they owned their houses.

"She wanted to know if she could live comfortably," recalls the source of Maynard, whose famous high-profile exes including NFL star Jeremy Shockey and race car driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

The Bachelorette's Men Tell All episode airs Monday at 8 p.m. (EST) on ABC.

Don't believe it but thought I would bring this over here.

^^ I read that and thought it was funny after watching Em's recent interview where she talked about how Ricki loved CH and his daughter. :Nod:

Your 1st look at this week's tabloids, which feature Emily aplenty. Nothing in People, but I'd guess Emily and Jef would be doing their photoshoot for a People story this week? I don't think they'll be getting the main cover story in 2 weeks with everything else that's going on and the general lack of enthusiasm for this season, but I think they will be one of the feature stories.

US Weekly claims Emily made a secret call to Roberto (story teased on the cover, not the main cover story)
Life & Style teases its usual Secrets Of The Proposal story on the cover: not the main cover story.
In Touch teases a story on its cover about Emily being dumped on national TV (not the main cover story)
Star has a story in which Arie's ex Cassie H runs him down.

US Weekly's cover is a misdirect, in some ways. The blurb inside just says that when she heard Roberto was hesitating on whether to become the next Bach, Emily called him to encourage him to go for it because she really enjoyed her experience.

Life & Style's secrets of the proposal has no paparazzi pictures. It confirms the 2 LCDs, and also claims the day before the FRC, after picking out rings from Neil Lane, both men were rehearsing what they would say. Not too much detail on Jef's proposal itself, just that Em said yes. Just a 2 page spread instead of the 4 page spread Ashley got last year, but that probably has a lot to do with the lack of paparazzi pics. Nothing about how the couple is doing now. However, as another clear hint that Jef is F1 (without actually naming him F1), L&S says that Jef was relaxed and comfortable 2 days before the proposal.

In Touch claims that Emily's eventual F1 pick is a default one because the non-F1 actually told Emily during their LCD that he didn't think they should entertain getting engaged, that they hadn't reached that point yet. She was allegedly heartbroken, but recovered to accept the proposal from her F1 and is actually happy and living with him now. No names are used to identify the F1 and non-F1. There's an inset questioning whether Emily made another bad decision by booting Sean.

Star has quotes from Cassie H in which she says Arie's dated hundreds of women around the world and didn't need to go on the show to find love. She says he went on the show for fame alone, believes he has some growing up to do, and wasn't a good father figure for her kids. She's also really offended if it's true that Arie shared the story of her personal trials with Emily.

[My take: In Touch hasn't been production's go-to tabloid the last few seasons and has gone anti-show out of revenge. However, this particular account doesn't sound so crazy or over the top negative to me in light of what the show has shown. But, not believing it for now. Still no tabloid stories about how Emily is integrating her F1 into her life and vice versa. I continue to find that telling. But at the same time, more indications Emily is still with Jef, as I've believed all along. This is not a couple the media seems to care much about or take very seriously, and the focus of the tabloids, pictorially and editorially, remains Emily as opposed to Emily and her F1 as a couple.]

Thank you, cfck. Your synopsis is very much appreciated. I really like that you add your take on things.

[michelle1109]

Thanks cfck2222! Always enjoy your analysis as well.

What do you make about the Star magazine? Do you think his ex really talked to them?

Also, and this is jmo, but it seems there isn't much the media can talk about because the show has been so tight with information this year.

Star named and quoted Cassie H so I do believe she spoke with them. Probably was compensated for it. It's quite likely though that they took comments out of context and left out any balancing positive things she may have said about Arie. Or not, maybe her comments were all negative.

I actually don't feel like the show's been tight with info in any regard except (and this is a big exception) the usual paparazzi pictures from the end. And, I feel like Love_Me set some kind of record for how early she spoiled the F1. The thing is that the Bach/ette franchise thrives through selective leaks - there's symbiotic relationship between the show and the weeklies (at least the designated weekly, currently Life & Style) that is meant to help the show maintain its pop culture buzz and I'm sensing an ongoing lack of enthusiasm and interest right now. It's an especially stark contrast to the way this season was hyped to the weeklies. That hype gave me every reason to think that the franchise was more than eager to hype the closed loop fairy tale ending where the gorgeous single mom with the tragic backstory finally found her Prince Charming and the right father for her precious little girl. The lack of current hype, even through non-intrusive leaks, is strange, and it's not like the tabloids aren't well aware of who the F1 is anyway.
