Re: Episode 11 - 7/22 - Bachelorette 8 - FINALE - Thread #1

Yeah, there was a part where it said Jef looked calm and relaxed as he ate his breakfast the morning of the FRC.

Any chance of posting the link or pasting that section here ? TIA.

I read it in line at the grocery store.

[nd4reality]

Saw Life & Style dated 5/23 last night article about the finale. It says Jef was seen at breakfast on May 10th looking relaxed and excited (quite the opposites here). No mention is made of Arie being seen.
They claim both guys get last chance dates and select rings then rehearse what they are going to say the day before the Final Rose. Emily made her decision and she was waiting after midnight on the 12th when the one she chose came and whispered will you marry me, she said Yes!. Don't know if this is fact or fiction. Seemingly since only 1 guy is mentioned at the end then probably only one goes to propose and no telling if she let F2 go or he bowed out.....

Did Life and Style article say "after midnight on the 12th?"
AND did it say where they saw Jef having breakfast?

But if it was on the 12th that would mean the filming schedule we have is off and there was the hotel staff tweet about the 'it's a wrap' on the 11th - when was it that Arie and Sean were seen coming or at home? Hard to say what is fact/fiction in the tabloids as they always seem to blend the two together quite nicely.

The Life and Style I saw said "on May 11, just after midnight."

To me, this means the early morning hours of May 11 (which is technically correct, as the day of May 11 begins at 12:01 AM), so I don't know why May 12 keeps coming into the equation. Unless of course, the article writer is making a technical mistake.

I agree. The night of May 10 into May 11.
And the picture stamp was May 11?? So morning after. Maybe she hadn't even gotten to bed at that point!

I thought the same thing.

Pattycake - thanks. Guess you can't paste that for us .

Is Love the only source that said Arie came home the 11th? Did RS also say this? I wish we had more than one account of this. Sean and Arie wouldn't have been on the same plane being they live in different states. Do we believe Sean stayed a whole extra week? Is this normally done for F3? I remember when they said Arie was F3 it was made into a big deal he was still there so people (me included) thought he comes back and has a part in FRC.

What if lingering feelings were handled there. After the FRC... On the island

When Arie arrived home is a big piece to the puzzle. He and Jef appeared back On Twitter a day apart. That would've Jef was home for 2 days before he started tweeting. If the dates we have are right for Arie he would have been back a week. Doesn't make sense...

[just logic]

I have to go out but want to say what a pleasure it is to have a friendly discussion without all the "x is hot, no, y is hot" junk. Was it Love who said Arie came home at the same time as Sean? I don't remember - funny how this season seems to be so long on the one hand and so short on the other.

I think everything was possibly finished up on the island and the ATFR being live is just a way to keep spoilers from leaking out even more than they have already - also, a great way to hype an ending. If it wasn't for the whole "Does she really pick Jef?" debate here on the boards then this season would actually have been rather boring.

I do recall Arie started to follow Emily,Chris H and Elan..on May 12 th..If my memory serves me right...

If Arie was really heartbroken upon his return, I wouldn't expect him to start tweeting immediately. A week to "recover" a bit sounds about right. Jef, OTOH, was probably bursting at the seams, and since he normally tweets a lot for business, it wouldn't surprise me that he went right back to it.

They would have had to fly into an International Airport with customs and immigration; so they may both have been put on the same flight into say Miami. Equally they both could have had separate direct flights, but from Curacao they still would have had to go thru immigration.

I think you are right we need confirmation of when Arie arrived back in the US. Did Arie Tweet much before he went on the Bachelor? Did he even have a twitter account before that?

This would line up perfectly with Love_Me's spoiler.

Jef tweeted on May 18. Arie on May 19. Arie had a twitter prior and his last one prior to the show was around March 8. Jef either didn't have Twitter or deleted everything prior to the show.

Hmm so no description of LCD's.....

Yes, I think we have screencaps of Em and Jef's LCD. There are pics of them at Cas Abou Beach
The skirt in the flourescent green is at that beach.
I am quite sure that the walking pic of Em and Jef at the Beach was at Cas Abou beach.

Maybe I am just losing it as this is my first post, but did anyone notice how much taller the guy is walking next to Emily? It looks more like Arie to me as Jef is not that tall.....is he?

Weslie and his sister have said Jef is 5'11. Arie and Sean were in the 6'3-4 range.

[nutty1]

The green bathing suit definitely is Jef. He is in an upslope in the sand.
