Bachelorette Emily Maynard Was "Hell-Bent" On Not Accepting a Proposal

Having already suffered through a painful breakup from former Bachelor Brad Womack -- whose proposal she accepted as the finalist during his season -- Maynard was terrified of putting herself, and her daughter, through that kind of heartbreak once more. "She didn't want that to happen again," an insider explains.

The comments are interesting!

^^^Yikes on the US comments! Hopefully, the showrunners take note of how their product is being received and will work to improve it somehow.

It sounds like the tabloids were trying really hard to get dirt because a bunch of Jef's friends and acquaintances mentioned being contacted. It doesn't look like they got much if those pictures were all they found - two fans kissing his cheek lol. The Arie stuff sounds like nothing too. It's hardly Ed-level of shenanigans.

Thanks for bringing it over!

There's a ton of posed photos with Jef with girls, babies, some dudes, all fans in Utah. All of these were posted in Jef's thread on this site. Quite different than Ben's clandestine photos with women he was making out with late at night.

Am thinking that maybe ABC decided to change up it's soft release go to tabloid this time. Me thinks that US Weekly may be the tab of choice this season.

Meaning you think that Life and Style isn't this year?

Could be, don't know. Cfk has commented that Life & Style is currently being very negative towards the franchise and its contestants/lead so just maybe ABC switched it up this time. This is just my opinion!!!!

I know this is a tabloid and not a direct quote. But the bolded... makes me CRAZY! Again, I know this is not Emily's fault, but this presentation of Emily as going on the freakin' Bachelorette as some sort of noble warrior for her daughter is gross. Don't want to put your daughter through "heartbreak"? Try not dating 26 guys in a little over a year on television! I'm #teameveryoneleavesalone at this point.

If Em gets a TV gig out of this, no matter who she chooses, I'm going to keep on thinking that there was one reason she went on The Bachelorette. And, finding a new step-daddy's not it.

Hi all :) This is may first time posting. (tried to post it a few mins ago but didn't see it. My apologies if I double posted.)

Love this site and have been lurking for a while. A friend sent me this and thought I'd share. Not sure if this is the UK equivalent of a tabloid or not.

Pretty much in line with what I have heard about the televised wedding plan.

Any ideas how I can watch the Finale via my iPad? My BF just reminded me of an event we have to attend! He said find a way to see it on my iPad and he'll let me use his mobile hotspot. He's funny because he KNOWS I NEEDto watch the Finale lol!

Didn't MF tweet yesterday that UsWeekly doesn't like to be lied to insinuating who ever sold this story lied?

Inside info or did you hear this on the boards? I thought this was rumor at this point?

The only way I can think of is if you had a slingbox (with the sling app). I'm not sure if you found a live feed on the Internet if it would show up on your IPAD b/c it would probably need flash (which the IPAD doesn't support). At least you can check in with this forum. You could get the play by play that way :Smiley:
