Re: Doug Clerget - Bachelorette 8 Contestant - Thread #1

[nutty1]

Emily was very careful about what she says/said and does/did on the show because one day, Ricki will see the show and see how she acts on the edited version. But she doesn't have anyone else she has to account to.

Doug also has a child at home now. He has a son, older than Ricki, who could easily watch the show. Not only that, Doug has another parent of his child to consider, from whom he has JUST gotten custody, with whom he has had a not so harmonious relationship. That complicates matters also. Perhaps it is nothing more than Doug being uncomfortable "making out." Perhaps he was just #6 on her list, and the disagreement precipitated his leaving.

At least you know the three 1:1 dates in Pague.

Arie, John and who else?

I think we were assuming Doug got one since the article said he had "just returned from his date with Emily".

Right, thanks.

Heck, who gave the link to Reid and Jill on the ATFR?? Man, I adore that guy! Of course, I had to watch it. He is beyond adorable. I may just have to change my avi back sooner than later!!

this must be the week before hometown dates: three 1 on 1 dates and 1 group date. No rose on 1 on 1 dates. 1 rose on group date. So he may have gone home during the date like Ryan P and Brit in Brad 2.0.

I'm under that impression. So who are the three guys on the group date? And who got the rose? :greenman: My guess would be Ryan, Chris and Sean on the GD. And maybe that Chris or Sean got the rose?? (so that we can all sweat it out during the RC whether Ryan gets a rose or not.. )

Right, thanks.

I had to watch too! And since you don't have him as your avi, I changed mine for Em to Reid. Maybe that will help you keep your Team BHG longer! I always know its you posting when I see Reid, but it always makes me smile to see his cute smiling face! He'll always be one of my favs!

Bingo, either that or Ryan is the only who who got a rose on the GD which would guarantee a HTD. Of course, I can only hope it would be that easy for us Ryaners!!!

I know, so do I! He is a cutie pie and my favorite of all time.... swoon

This situation brings up thoughts I had while reading on RS. He mentioned that during the overnights some leads chose to sleep with more than one of the contestants. Is that ‘testing the waters’, cheating or just being opportunistic. If any one of us was dating a guy and we knew he was also dating, kissing, potentially sleeping with other guys, it would really mess with us and make us doubt the possibility of forming a real relationship. Relationships, especially marriage, require physical chemistry but they also require trust and respect. I think it would be very uncomfortable to put yourself out there emotionally before the other person has made an obvious decision, too. I definitely can’t see Doug being comfortable ‘sharing’ someone. Maybe he should never have gone on the show knowing that’s how it works. However, if he was starting to develop true feelings for Emily, that rejection would probably hurt a lot. I feel for him, but I agree that cutting him out now would be way better than waiting until after meeting family.

As to misinterpreting what happens in the fantasy suite, I think it cuts both ways . Men can misinterpret what happens as well and it's important to keep this in mind during every Bachelorette season as well as Bachelor seasons. I'm thinking of Reid's pointed comments and then silence during the ATFR...... Forward to 5:15.....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWqS0uwEkhU

I'm sorry to go off topic here, but this AFTR clip i can watch hundreds of times and never get tired of!! the part about the audience girl asking Reid out was just TOO funny and cute!!!!

[KikiLove]

Do you guys think Doug will come back a la Ryan P (and Kacie B etc.)..? I was just thinking about this, and maybe he would (total bachelor /ette style) if he left rather abruptly..

[n4692u]

If we now know that Ari, John Wolfner & Doug got the 1-1 dates in Prague (Ep 7) & Doug was sent home, I am going to predict that either Ari or John will be her F1. I hope it's John.

I think her F4 guys are Ari, John, Ryan & Chris. However, I'm not sure about Chris. When is the last time he has been seen in sc?

ETA: Was sad to hear she sent Doug home! :Frown:
