Ernesto Arguello - Ready For Love - Spoilers - Discussion

Never said Ben didn't have a business plan in the works, just said it hasn't come full circle. I agree with tigertiz, break up with a guy if he is treating you bad. I think going on a show like this to meet someone, you have to be prepared he might not be what he seems. You can know someone for years & still not really know them. I think it was a bit careless on Ben & Angela's part to get engaged after 9 weeks was it? And that was not a normal 9 weeks of dating. He was splitting time between many women.

I agree!!!

The Truth:

I agree that Angela used this to move forward in her career. She called in to After Buzz and said she was called and asked to go on the show. So she didn't send in an application on her own. So if she was asked to do the show she might have been told it could be a career boost for her.

What do you mean by "You ppl don't know Shandi." Sorry. But I will defend Shandi to the end. She was on After Buzz. And she was called by After Buzz and asked to be on. I heard this from one of the After Buzz correspondents on air. So Shandi didn't go after that gig.

Shandi said on After Buzz that she went on the show because she had just broken up with a guy that she thought had potential but she was blindsided by him. One night she went on her facebook and saw the piece about Ready for Love but at the time it was to be called "The One." She said she didn't even know who the guy was or what the format would be at that time. She asked her agent to look into it and her agent said she couldn't support her in this. But Shandi said she just had a gut feeling about it and put in her application against friends and family's advice. I believe Shandi when she tweeted that it was 100% real for her, that she found love but it didn't work out. When asked on her twitter "You're beautiful, you were Miss USA, do you have ANY flaws?" Shandi's reply was that she guards her heart fiercely but when she falls, she falls HARD."

If you're talking about her now being a host and correspondent on OK TV, if she got that job by being on the show then I say more power to her. She took months of humiliation with this Eva/Ernesto deal and she was nothing but classy through the whole ordeal. Except for a few cryptic tweets, which to me showed that she was hurt, she never said one bad word against Ernesto!

I couldn't agree more, Laura! Shandi has always been a class act... During the show and after. She deserves any and all success that come her way. And yes, the hosts of After Buzz said they contacted Shandi and asked for an interview. Angela reached out to them asking if she could come on the show. There's a big difference there.

And is it just me or does Angela look like a 40 year old retired porn star? Isn't she only like 21 years old or something?

Haha!!! Well, in my opinion for someone to be as religious as she is, she doesn't dress the part. That derby dress for 1 barely covered her breasts. And many others barely covered her rear.

Agree that she doesn't dress the part that she claims to be (religious and a virgin). And her breast job is huge! What religious virgin gets those? I'm calling BS on the virginity.

Iamasecret

I think Angela is 25 or 26.

But I do agree with you about the "virginity" thing. Apparently for her that's her big plus because she said it enough times on the show. If she is then I think that's great but don't see the necessity for constantly reminding people of it.

I also agree that she does dress a little over the top. On the show I didn't really have much of an opinion of her. She was just so so.

I agree with most of the points of view regarding Angela. She is no victim. Her name maybe Angela, but she in my view is no Angel. How and when did Ben treat her badly? Where was her intimidating stepfather? I ask! As others have pointed out, she could have chosen not to put up with it (if it happened).

Every contestant in my view had a motive, none of them has clean hands.

I confess, the "Southern Christian" façade makes me uneasy. Virgin Angela, dresses like a temptress (barely clad) while selling Christian jewelry. Kari, I read is quite the explosive character with an arrest record (for DUI). Somehow she doesn't hesitate to invoke God. Of course the Lord is Kari's shepherd (see her twitter page). She thought God had a hand in bringing Eva and Ernesto together ("God works in mysterious ways", she tweeted). Shandi also talks about her Christian values, but pictures of her on the internet leave me confused.

They all signed up looking for fame.

Does Angela, really have implants at her age or are her breasts real?

i couldn't agree more. shandi puts her religion on display (and talks about going to bible class) but in addition to the pictures, some of the stuff she says in tweets isn't exactly the language i would expect from a devout person. i don't think she's a bad person at all, but she's clearly trying to create a public personna she can market. same for angela. funny how among the few i didn't get that feeling about are tim and jenna, who came off as being exactly who they are.

i am still curious about the comment Iamasecret made about ernesto. it wasn't a simple or innocent comment - Iamasecret said he/she is an insider and went on to say ernesto is a controlling guy who wants his women to be submissive to him and "woudn't be surprised if he's actually hit women before". that's a very strong statement to make.

Well that's ridiculous. She had to have realized , up front, that he'd be promoting the show and the contestants would have to be quiet until after their elimination aired. Seriously - she had to have known this. And if it still made her feel jealous of the guys, I dont feel the least bit sorry for her .

I completely agree.
