Local news reports that neighbors of the Bachelorette Mansion are not happy! Probably due to the lookie-loos and paps that are lurking around.

:Nod: Yup... complaining gets themselves on the teee-vee!

The only problem the media would have is if the neighborhood has quite hours (ours does) and they helicopter noise was in violation of that. And like you said, it's only for a couple of days.

I wonder if they will travel to any 'exotic' places or if they will keep it fairly close to home this time? Are they going for a 'Sweet Home Alabama' theme this year?

BTW, I don't care about Emily's 'baby mama' status. It's just that people get so self righteous regarding leads/contestants, I'm curious about the lack of outrage. It's not a cardinal sin to skinny dip yet people were ready for a Salem Witch Trial when Courtney and Ben did it. I still see her being called a skank and a slut on every article that is posted on the web. Despite the norm now, there was a time when that was shameful and if Emily weren't 'pretty' and, what people perceive to be as syrupy sweet, she'd be getting the same label. Folks just need to be consistent with their moral crusades and tirades.

I think it will be interesting. I didn't think that Emily's tone/demeanor with Brad was particularly sweet or attractive during Brad's season - before or after the show - especially not at the ATFR. Of course there will be the edit to beat all edits so who knows what will really go down.

BTW, producers have hand picked a number of bachelors/bachelorettes and have had disasters/duds. But, I'm sure they are going to try their best to give the people what they want this time.

Why would there be outrage?? Why would Emily be labeled as anything?? She is a single mom .. Regardless of how she got there. So no need to embellish her situation with any other descriptors

And why the need to be lnsistent?? People are entitled to their opinions.

Not so sure what you are really getting at. SJ

Now THAT would solve a multitude of political problems!

I read the article. They made a big fuss about the helicopters at all times of the night and day. Some of the helicopters have been local news reporters nothing production related. FLiess did say that they flew her home meet and greet night in a helicopter. I commented on this somewhere else. But I think it would be very hard to essentially have no neighbor there for four years and all of asudden be invaded by a tremendous amount of people. There are always people that walk and bike along that road but I am sure the traffic has picked up. The local resturants are loving the business, THey said that business has increased the last several weeks.

This site says Bentley comes back!!!! Also some other stuff about group dates and Ben Smith leaving.

"Surprise Bachelor Returns – Bentley Williams is going to return and be given the chance to repair his image. Remember him? He was a contestant on Ashley Hebert’s seventh season of The Bachelorette when she pulled him aside during a group date to discuss how former Bachelor villain, Michelle Money told her that Bentley was on on the show to promote himself and his business. Bentley reacted by leaving the show claiming that he missed his daughter too much to say. He later revealed that his exit was more because he was disappointed that in season seven Emily Maynard was not the new Bachelorette.

Group Dates – One of Emily’s dates will be at one of the hundreds of wineries in the Charlotte area, the only region on earth where you’ll find every major type of grape grown in the world. Another group date will be at the Booth Playhouse in uptown Charlotte in which all the proceeds will benefit the Levine Children’s Hospital, a place where Emily has done volunteer work in the past and the Muppets will be in attendance"
