Episode Synopsis: Seventeen of the rejected bachelors dish about Emily and each other, and Emily dishes about them as she looks back at the season. The hour also includes a sneak peek of the finale and the upcoming third season of "Bachelor Pad." Original Air Date: Jul 16, 2012

I wonder if this means we'll get some sort of previews for the finale tomorrow (tonight).

I hope so!

Let's hope so..but I wonder if it's going to be a cliffhanger so we won't get any details..

I thought they did - or used to.

I thought that was the folks who were at the ATFR taping.

That is correct nutty..MTA just see the FD episode..that why they can have the f3 there...the ATFR (when it's taped) see the FRc episode ..But with it being live..no one will see it in advance..

I know we don't have a lot of Live AFRCs to go back on, but wouldn't the audience view the show before the AFRC begins taping. Wouldn't it make sense that when (for instance) Bryon chose Mary and not Tanya that the audeince knew that before taping began??

And CH always does the = "but before we start let's see what happened..."

Going to go ahead and add this here. Diana who we've talked about that has inside Jef scoop and has been proven correct numerous times this season, told us in the Jef thread last night that there would be an announcement re: the ATFR show. Her exact posts were:

1st post
Hey y'all I think they are going to announce some news about the ATFR soon! But I'm not exactly sure when but I'm sure excited for it!

2nd post
It's VERY positive!

3rd post
I wasn't told when it was going to be announced maybe at the MTA?

4th post
When asked if this was the same announcement she mentioned the other day but wanted to clarify first before she announced it, she said YES!

5th post
She agreed with Pattycake who said that this was an announcement ABOUT the ATFR. It has to do with it specifically. Something different is going on.

For sure it is a televised wedding. They are in the planning stages now. For sure

I think the best speculation I've seen and tend to lean towards too is the location of the live show. Maybe it will be in North or South Carolina so all parents can attend, including Jef's parents who cannot travel more than 200 mi. outside of Columbia, SC. Makes sense kind of.

Whatever it is, it is about the ATFR show and it's positive to Jef & Em.

Does make Fleiss' tweets re: "it's not over til it's over" and "it will shock everyone who thinks they know" from several days ago very interesting!!

Oh Good Lord, I hope not!!!! I don't think it could be because too many people outside of the show would have to know (if they want friends/family to attend) and word would get out somehow. Perhaps Jef does not actually propose at FRC but says he wants to make sure it's 'real' as he only want to be engaged once and he and Ricki need to get to know one another better. Then ATFR could be the actual proposal.

I'm not about to overthink this - we always tend to and are always disappointed when it's nothing extraordinary.

An AFRC wedding would be ludicrous and irresponsible.

Let me correct myself NO televised wedding on the ATFR but an announcement that they are planning a televised wedding for the future. They are both on board for this. People Water benefits and she gets to shine as a bride with all the perks ABC will give her.

The announcement is ABOUT the ATFR. It will be different this time and not just because it's live. It's something they have to announce. Maybe it's longer or in a different location.

I think some of the words are being taken far too literally - like when Love posted that Arie was on his way home at the F3 RC.

TV Guide has the finale listed for 2 hrs with hr for the AFRC - even if the timeline on that has changed, I dont' see that being a big deal. Different location - so what? As long as it airs, what does it matter where it airs.

Anders,
Diana agreed that the announcement is specifically about the ATFR. That it will be different.

cool beans. guess we'll have to wait and see, eh?
