Radar Online is basically Star mag's partner blog. They have the same owner (American Media), so it's to be expected that Radar would pick up Star's story. They picked up the story about Emily's alleged romance with Chris Harrison too, among others.

I don't believe In Touch is in touch with reality. Arie has been wanting to propose since week 2. I would think Jef is the one who might have some second thoughts but I don't believe for one minute that he would let Emily slip away.

So this story says that Cassie 2.0 and Arie broke up in December 2011 after a 2 year relationship. When did filming start?

ETA: So per our filming timeline Meet and Greet was 3/14/12. That's not a whole lot of time to get over someone you were with for a long time, living with, and supossedly involved with their kids. Not to mention had a miscarriage with as seems to be confirmed by Cassie 2.0 in the article. Although I think I remember someone finding a tweet by Arie and connecting it to Cassie 2.0 getting engaged sometime before filming started. So maybe the break up was a long time coming. They both seem to have moved on quickly.

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.

Thank you so much for your insightful updates and analysis. I always look forward to your take on how the PR and promo game is being played and what it reflects about the true story.

Like you, I am totally blown away that the fairy tale ending isn't much more visible by this point given the shaky reception of the season in general by viewers. I really expected that they'd have set that tone by now.

I think she was already engaged to someone else by then so that doesn't make sense.

Thanks- I went back to check and added this to my previous post.

We need to find that tweet from Arie about the engagement and place a timeline on it.

OMG, so Arie isn't a candidate for the "Father of the Year" award anymore? How will the masses react? rotfl
