BTW, What, that I have shared about your favorite contestants, isn't correct? I am listening...

I'm pretty sure you stated that Arie was going to be on the show.  Several other posters said there was no way he'd do it because, for one reason, he's too busy racing.

You are right, I did say(though that was quite a while ago--months back--) and at the time I genuinely thought so.   They cornered him for BP4(they did the initial casting for BP not BIP) and I've been told he showed interest. Once they changed the format to BIP, I stopped hearing his name. Good for him if he ultimately rejected TPTB's offer, especially, because I am sure that they lured him with a lot of money.

Good to see you, Beader! Yeah, RS and Chloep both thought Arie and 1F would be on the show. Funny that the people who pay attention to Arie knew he wouldn't. He works! Wowza. Something that so many of the recent favorites from this show don't do. Let's see; Jake, 1F, Sean, Brooks...none of them have jobs as far as I can tell.

Jake and 1F, I get the scorn.  Though not a huge Sean fan but a huge Brooks one, both clearly make a living and have comfortable lives and to me are good guys.  If they can do it without traditional 9-5 office hours and have a more free flexible life, good for,them.  Who doesn't want that?  They should in no way be mentioned in the same breath as Jake and Jef, IMO.

Yeah, Brooks does work, it may not be a traditional 9-5, but he does work. Jake is a struggling wanna be actor. Sean has his stuff in Dallas, but the SeanCat shippers can address that better.

Jef, I agree he has no discernible job at all.

As for Arie not doing BiP, I know he has been busy now and I am glad he is not doing it, but he did make time out of this life to go on Bachelorette in the first place, so I understood why some thought he might. Plus, he has been into dating other girls from the franchise.

Well, please forgive my ignorance.  For what company does Brooks work?  Sean?

Brooks works for a Marketing company and Sean has a furniture business.

No idea about Brooks, but Sean is still involved with The Factory Girl as well as investing/a partner in a few other companies. I won't share the names of those as he hasn't shared them himself, but he does work.

Brooks also continues to do modeling and is in music videos. As Stucinsc said not your typical 9-5 job but if they enjoy it and it works for them who am I to judge?!? He was also really close to Eric and there seems to be an indication that he will be involved with what Eric was doing. He and Eric went on a bike trip to Mexico and it seems that they were pretty close.

Brooks is no longer mentioned on Fit Marketing's website so I guess he changed companies. JMHO, both Brooks' job and Sean's were set-ups to make them appear responsible/desirable on the show. They both miraculously went to work for those companies shortly before filming began. Whatever. I don't really care. Just find it interesting.

Sean's job was not a setup. The Factory Girl is owned by Sean, his best friend and his best friend's sister. The best friend was the best man at his wedding.

Anyway, back on topic, I am looking forward to some AshLee and Tierra drama/catfights. Anyone else have a particular drama you are looking forward to on this show.

From what had been researched about Factory girl and I certainly don't know all the facts anymore, but I do know someone(s)who do and could post here if they chose to clarify:

The father of the brother/sister team put up the money for Factory Girl.  Sean was given a place here. The father had other interests and ownership in the furniture business and supplied Factory Girl with some cast off furniture that was slightly re-tooled and sold by Factory Girl under their name.
This part of what I am remembering above for the most part correct.
 
The place pretty much went belly up from what I understand. (the furniture end of it) The  Factory Girl that supplied the furniture moved to an out of the way, in the middle of nowhere spot that is basically like a hole in the wall warehouse. So it may still be housing/selling some of Dad's discontinued, retooled goods. 

As far as the clothing end of Factory Girl--I think this part existed via the brother and sister prior to Yawn ever having any interest in it. I believe this still exists in Dallas, but not sure about it's real status. 

I know quite a few members of this forum do have correct knowledge and hopefully they will fill in the blanks and correct me because I readily state--I don't recall all. But I do agree with IG--this was just a set up for Yawn moving into his TB role and attempting to beef up his professional value.
