Ernesto Arguello - Ready For Love - Spoilers - Discussion

i will say though I know shandi has moved on and angela is dating someone serious too but is super secret about her love life now.

Thetruth:

You have described Ernesto but you have not described Ben. Can you give us just a sampling?

I think the reason the girls are going GAGA over Ernesto and ben is because they probably have not followed all that we have. Either that or they are looking at them through rose colored glasses.

Ben knew from day 1 he had a business plan on projects to boost from show. he lied about keri. he asked her to come on. treated angela horribly. not going into it.

Thetruth wrote:i don't need to give out more info bc I would never want to hurt shandi or angela. that is for them to say and clearly in their interviews they have been nice to not reveal the truth about ernesto or ben. meanwhile girls are going GAGA over ernesto and ben....WHY?!! WHATS SO GREAT.

Thetruth - one question perhaps you can answer. how did ernesto really end up on RFL? i have heard rumors that he was originally introduced to eva (for the show) by her good friend loren ridinger, who runs in some of the same social circles as ernesto in miami. is that rumor true?

I can say Ernesto made my skin crawl from day one. He seemed extremely fake. It doesn't surprise me Tim is the only one that was truly interested in finding love. He did not need a reality TV show for fame, he already had it....as far as Ben & Angela are concerned, I think they both used the show to self promote. Haven't seen his business plan come full circle that would benefit from him being on the show, but we have seen Angela's. I have come to the conclusion that most of the people who go on these shows are looking for fame or self promotion of some kind!!! Just my opinion!

The truth:

I know that it's true that Ben lied about Keri. She said herself on her twitter that Ben begged her to be on the show. It was probably suggested by the producers for the drama.

My one question that I would ask of Ernesto if I had the chance is "Having the personality that you have, aggressive, controlling, why would you pick at least two women that we know of and there's probably more out there that we don't know about, but at least Eva and Shandi that are the last women that can be controlled." He picks strong, independent women but then thinks he can control them?? Shandi made it clear on the show that she wanted someone that would have his life and she have hers but they went through life together.

And I bet if Ernesto found a girl that he could control he probably would not want her after awhile because he would consider her as being weak. Ernesto really needs some therapy if he ever intends to get married otherwise he's going to be one unhappy married man!!!

laura - there's a reason why these 2 good looking guys are in their mid 30's and still haven't found love, ernesto in particular. ben said he's been in love but never could make a relationship work/last. no mystery there! i don't believe ernesto's line about never having been in love before RFL. odds are that he was ultimately rejected for the some of the same reasons eva dumped him, not to mention that he's a total fraud. i've said all along that tim was the only real one of of the bunch. that's why he found someone and the other two didn't (and won't for a long time).

Guys like Ernesto 'get off' on being able to take a strong woman and break her down to be submissive to him. That's why he's drawn to women like Shandi and Eva. I wouldn't be surprised if he's actually hit women before. Guys like him are raised that way. And judging by how his dad appeared on the show, I'd say he expects women to serve and submit.

my immediate reaction is "wow". my overall feeling is that i'm not in the least bit surprised. yes, i can see ernesto as that guy. his dad, don javier, is no ordinary guy. there's a reason he left nicaragua when he did and so easily came to the usa to "study". lots of dots can be connected when you look at the organizations behind ernesto's business activities and the ones (and people) his daddy has ties to.

i am also wondering about Iamasecret and who this poster knows within the rfl/eva circle of people. katie said her source was someone who was a roommate of a rfl producer. it's well known that eva has friends who live in her home. is it possible that Iamasecret is one of those friends (or a friend of one of those friends)?  if Iamasecret is that well connected, the 3rd sentence of that post is either an interesting (and cryptic) revelation or a cheap shot.

ben did have a business plan and so what if angela made something of the year of hell. u ppl don't know. shandi too.

Why was it a year of hell for Angela? I must be missing something. If she didnt want to be with Ben - why not just break up with him last fall? She chose to stick around until spring.

I feel sorry for Shandi who clearly did not know about Ernesto and Eva carrying on before/during and after the filming. I put that behavior in a different category.

It was only a year of hell for Angela because she wanted to go to red carpets and events to promote herself but RFL wouldn't allow her to until the show was over. She was upset that Ben was out doing promotions but she couldn't.
