Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - Thread #1

Sean could be the darkhorse in this and F1. Maybe she likes Texas, she's spent time there with Brad and it's familiar. Didn't she have relatives or some Texas connection before she went on Brad's season. Her mom owned property or something? I cannot remember.

Which may shake out Sean, F1, Arie F2 (& next bach) and Jef, lovable, fun F3? I'm open to any of them, love all 3 of these guys actually, plus a few who didn't get as far as the F3's. Now to see their personalities and interactions with Emily!

I would love this! However, I just don't see it happening that way...

What you seeing, mnm? I still think Arie is F1, just not 100% sure, cause it seems very obvious. I'm sure the avg. non-spoiled, non mb viewers will say "oh, she'll pick the race car driver" due to the Hendrick racing connection, and not differentiate between Indy car and Nascar drivers.

Yeah, I think Arie is the predictable F1. The lack of dates that Sean seems to get this season does worry me about his chances for F1.
I predict that Sean will be my favorite, but if Arie and Emily have a lot of chemistry and a good "connection" I will enjoy cheering them on, too.

Unless right at the start they have Emily talking about how she wants to be TOTALLY done with that part of her life and move on and find her own guy free from that world, blah blah blah. And use his career as the F1 obstacle instead Add in some tears on the HTD about how she hated being reminded of Ricky, and some competitiveness between the Hendricks and the Luyendyks - we know how MF works, they can create drama to infinity and beyond if they want to!

IIRC, while Brad was on Emily's HTD Ricki was heard saying something about "Pearl". I think we later figured out that Emily did have a relative who lived in Texas and they called her Pearl. That is my guess, I cannot remember either...

And I agree with you, I am totally open to any of the 3 being F1. She has such great guys

Sorry but I cant see the Hendricks getting involved and allowing MF to do that. Rick and Linda are not an average family. MF's not going to manipulate them in anyway. I wouldn't be surprised to see little if any of them on camera. Now I'm sure we will meet her family. Maybe her brother will pull the guy aside and give him some insight. I would like to see both her mom and dad there too.


I'm still trying to keep an open mind here. I dont have a favorite just yet. By the end of the M&G I'll have made my choice. It would be nice if Emily chooses the same guy I do.

Actually Emily's mom lived in Austin at some point. I remember reading that in an interview or something she did for Dana aka Possessionista!

ETA: Found it! It was in her bracelet breakdown interview!

Cross Bracelet- Bought this in Austin when my mom lived there.

Are her parents divorced?

She's used to Texas. It's comfy for her.
She was even planning to move there right after getting engaged to Brad except that the relationship went downhill.
She had a potential place picked out.

I feel like they couldn't help but include the race car driver description, so I don't know if that means anything. Courtney was mentioned in it, I believe.

Are her parents divorced?

Yes, they are. Her mom recently bought a house in the same general area as Em's dad's though, not that it signifies anything.

INFORMATION REGARDING "THE BACHELORETTE"
In the premiere, "Episode 801," Monday, May14 (9:31-11:00 p.m., ET), Emily's journey begins in her hometown of Charlotte, NC, where she lives with her six-year-old daughter, Ricki. After saying "good night" to Ricki, Emily arrives at a southern mansion where she meets her 25 potential soulmates who have traveled across the country. They include a biology teacher, a mushroom farmer, a marine biologist and an ex-professional football player. Emily is nervous, but her anxiety slips away and soon turns to laughter as a single dad produces a glass slipper and proclaims her a princess; a youthful entrepreneur swoops in on a skateboard; a party MC shows off his dance moves; and a southern gentleman brings something special that symbolizes his dedication to protecting her and Ricki. But although one man's grand entrance in a helicopter impresses Emily, it only makes him a target of jealousy and ridicule from the other bachelors.


Inside the mansion, the battle is on among the eager suitors vying for the attention of the southern belle. A confident man is eager to charm Emily, but he is upstaged by a single father of six excited to show off his family photos to her. One handsome man wins her over with a pair of custom bobble head dolls, but another bachelor is extremely nervous when he reveals his career, fearing that it will remind her of her late fiance. The night turns more emotional when another single dad brings her a heartwarming letter from his 11-year-old son. The competition erupts into a full-fledged competition when Chris Harrison brings out the coveted first impression rose. A tough-talking entertainer confronts the wealthy suitor who dropped in via helicopter, accusing him of being selfish and insincere. But unaware of the tension, Emily is stolen away by the skateboarder whose soft-spoken and self-confident ways impress her. Everyone holds their breath as Emily gives out the first impression rose to one charming bachelor, but no one can blame her for choosing him. By the end of the night, Emily will have 19 men left to compete for her affections and, in the end, her heart.
