Episode 12 - 7/22 - Bachelorette 8 - ATFR (Live) - Discussion

just logic wrote:It appears that Trista and Ryan may be at ATFR as she posted about flying out for a few days. Wonder if Ashley and JP will be there as well. Anyone have any news on that front?

Haven't heard anything about Ashley and JP being there. Considering she's only 2 weeks into her residency and working crazy hours already, I'd think it's probably not possible for her to get the time off, but who knows?

JP tweeted he was flying out to Cali for a few days on Thursday I believe, he and Ashley will be there.

Ashley & JP are def there as is Ashley Spivey

Chris B. tweeted that he's going to LA for the weekend. Some people asked if he is attending ATFR, but he didn't respond.

JP and Elan were spotted together tonight at one of my favorite sushi restaurants here in LA.

Trista posted that she will NOT be at ATFR. Nor will she be doing DWTS. Deanna Pappas just tweeted me back.

Linda Petersen ‏@MsPetes
@DeAnnaPappas Any predictions on ATFR? Will you be there?

DeAnna Stagliano ‏@DeAnnaPappas
@MsPetes I'm thinking she chooses Jef. Yes, I'll be there.

Here next tweet:

DeAnna Stagliano ‏@DeAnnaPappas
I'm leaving...on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again....

So - rationale for DeAnna being there?

Thanks Linda.

Trista was a huge flop on that first season of DWTS. No way would they ask her back for any kind of All-Star season.

To celebrate the happy couple & their beautiful love story, I would guess.
Because - despite her unhappy ending w/Brad & her um.... er .... disappointing (to say the least ) relationship w/Jesse - Dee would never have met the love-of-her-life & husband, Stephen, if not for being on this show.

It's been my experience that when people are happy & in love, they are very excited for others in that same state!!!

DeAnna? Maybe she'll be in the audience (fingers crossed). She is not a Bach/ette success story IMO.

Rationale for people being there...more time on tv

By the way. Another rationale for former bachelorettes being there is they can be sympathetic for her position of
A. Changing her mind
B. not getting engaged
C. Not getting married too quickly
D. Having doubts
E. getting engaged after 6 weeks with a kid involved


There are many ways this could go

Does anyone else (besides me) remember there already being a LIVE ATFR? If memory serves me correctly, Meredith and Ian had the first LIVE one.
