Especially with his latest Chippendale work, Jake appears to be fabulous in a whole 'nother way! :gotcha:

Will she ignore him after their seemingly great first date? Will an "issue" come up between them? Since the ending has now become a fait accompli for me, that's probably the thing I'm most interested in finding out about.

Exactly, ironcat. By all appearances, Ryan made a significant first impression. All the pictures and videos of them show palpable, playful chemistry despite the high-profile intensity of the first date. What happened? Was it Arie that stole her heart?

In the Bermuda pictures, Ryan is near her on the boat, even looking at her. He's right next to her in England. I'd imagine that something pretty significant occurred for her to let him go that early. Look at the length of time that Brad held onto Ashley despite Emily! If TPTB were interested in Ryan as the next Bach, I'm curious about them letting her let him go this early. They could have easily told her to take him to the end.

Did he leave before or after Kalon? Anyway, maybe he pulled an "Ed" and will return? Or maybe RS is just wrong. Or maybe it really is what it is. Some of the air went out of the season for me in terms of suspense!

Ashley had great chemistry with William at first also....I guess we will eventually find out what haapened.

He may have been that right on paper guy but not in her heart guy. :Frown:

So far, there have only been 2 seasons in recent memory where the person who got the first 1 on 1 didn't make it to F4. Jake was pretty obviously a producers pick who Jill didn't care for, and was probably made to keep until the episode before HTDs. William screwed himself up with Ashley on the roast, and was sent home earlier than I imagine she and the producers expected when he was given that first date. So I wonder which scenario is closer to what happened with Ryan?

But I am still surprised that the producers didn't put more pressure on Emily to keep him around at least until F6. I'm sure that out of the 6 guys left in Prague, she had no serious interest in at least half of them, so there's something more to that story.

I wonder if there will be a fake 'I'm coming back to warn you about such and such' this season.

I think something might have went wrong. Does anybody remember when MF tweeted that "a rose is really not a rose"

Well, for him I say something went right by not being picked by her. It doesn't matter why, because we won't hear the truth anyway. Just a version of what the show wants people to think.

Interesting! That would have been around Croatia, wasn't it? OR was it earlier?

I read the lil paragraph here on the RS thread but I'm not one who wonders over to RS site. Did he say when Ryan arrived home. Any sightings of him? Were there any specific details given? How does he know 7 didn't make it to Prague. She could have still had 12 in England if there were 10 guys on that group date according to the girl who was there. More than likely they have all been home at least 2 days according to Chris's arrival on the 17 as it takes less time to make it to the East Coast where Emily lives. MF said another bachelor first by Emily...could that mean 7 in Prague...Can anyone help me fill in the blanks? I just want to KNOW Ryan is not part of HTDs!! Can't hep it.
