Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #2

[cfck2222]

The new Entertainment Weekly (Johnny Depp/Dark Shadows cover) has Chris Harrison's 6 To Watch and the picture of Emily with all the bachelors.

CH's 6 To Watch: Kalon, Jef, Doug, Arie, Alesandro (sp?), and Ryan

In the picture of Emily with the bachelors, Jef is directly right of Emily in the front row (in other words, he's next to her on her left), Sean is in the back row to the far left (he's the last guy on the left), Arie is in the back row to the far right (he's the last guy on the right), and Chris is right next to Arie (so Chris is the 2nd to last guy on the right in the back row).

CH describes Kalon as cocky/brash/arrogant, they spoil that he came in a helicopter, and CH says he wasn't that impressed by the helicopter. Something about it being like coming in a Prius instead of a limo?

CH says Jef is not your typical 6'4" drop dead gorgeous hunk but wins Emily over with his charisma and humor. CH says women are far more likely to give ordinary looking guys a chance with their personalities than guys are to give ordinary looking girls a chance with their personalities. Apparently Jef ditches the limo for a skateboard on the 1st night?

CH describes Doug, a single dad with an 11 year old kid, as somebody everybody will love. CH says his relationship with Emily is sweet, but wonders if there'll be more to it.

EW says that in case you thought the Bach producers wouldn't be so cruel as to include a race car driver in the cast considering Emily's past, you'd be wrong since Arie's in the cast. CH says the racing world is still a big part of Emily's life and that Arie is Indy not NASCAR anyway. EW doesn't know what that means. CH doesn't say anything about Arie himself.

Alesandro apparently greets Emily in Portuguese and is swoonworthy, but the question is whether more can develop from that.

Ryan is this season's former athlete with a heart of gold according to EW. CH says on the 1st night, he wrote "You are so beautiful" on the back of a note to Emily so she could see that while he was reading his letter to her. EW says "Yeah, he's that guy" (implying he's that sweet I think).

The accompanying article in the 2 page spread talks about the casting process - there's a guy who calls himself 70% child, 30% man and says something about nudity who doesn't get cast, and the article notes that for all the inane questions, the potential contestants are asked serious questions like are they willing to seriously date a single mother because the producers consider stability for Emily's child a priority. Either Fleiss or CH says they had more applicants than ever this season so Emily's single mother status wasn't a deterrent. The article confirms Bent doesn't show up the 1st night. CH says the show is not above twists and turns but ultimately they want the process to work.

This week's People mag (Khloe Kardashian cover) also has a 2 page interview with Emily. I don't think there are any spoilers in there. Emily talks about wanting to be a lady, hoping for no hot tubs and not kissing every guy that's there, but also having fun and showing some girl power. She also says she's a hopeless romantic who's willing to move for love.

So Arie & Jef are in there. No surprise about Arie. Since Courtney was included I guess that's no longer a clue.
Ryan sounds sweet, viewers will love him. He is going to be like Ryan Parks, I think (the lovable part of him, not the annoying, lol).

Well Sean is not mention and that is a very good thing. The bachelor is different than the bachelorette so Courtney mention was because of the what was coming but it is back to basic if you ask me. Hiden gem = Sean.

That could be and was my 1st thought.
But both Roberto and Vienna were both mentioned in his watch list right ?
Perhaps CHs list of 'to watch' literally means for entertainment and not for F1 and Sean is really not a very entertaining guy :Biggrin: . Its possible.

Thanks cfck2222 for bringing this over. The thing I found interesting is there was no risk vs benefit for either Jef or Arie, maybe because she hasn't picked yet, so they haven't finalized the storyboard/edit with that regard. CH doesn't even really describe Arie at all.

CH says Jef is not your typical 6'4" drop dead gorgeous hunk but wins Emily over with his charisma and humor. CH says women are far more likely to give ordinary looking guys a chance with their personalities than guys are to give ordinary looking girls a chance with their personalities.

However, he does provide some doubt for Doug who we know has gone.

T4P cfck.


The bolded gave me pause.... does he in fact show up on another night :shocked!: ?

[nutty1]

I fully expected Arie being mentioned, as he is the most "famous" guy. But Chris not mentioning him may be a clue....or may not! LOL!

I agree, it could be a clue!

[nd4reality]

Well to be fair, CH can neither give or hide a clue to the F1 since as of now....there isn't any.

[Guest]

There was no risk I say it aint a clue!

The was no risk because there is no F1 yet, so they haven't come up with the final edit plan yet.
