Other than the video and what we have read about him, you really don't know Ryan. Wait til the season starts and give every guy a chance. I am sure Em picked some nice guys for her F4! Just enjoy it for what it is....a crazy reality show that we are all a bit obsessed with!!

Right, I'd rather watch her with the men she's in to and has some sort of heat with rather than someone she finds boring and closer to being her dad than her boyfriend. I've already seen that story and it doesn't end so well.

Damn...I wanted to see some of those 'come hither looks' directed at our Romeo Ryan! :Frown: :Frown:

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

Glad Jello brought the "turns out a rose is not always a rose" tweet by MF. It was tweeted by MF on May 8th. In Travis' thread I mentioned the charts show he would not have gotten a rose that week as Prague already has 6 guys with roses. So while this tweet could be about Ryan it could also be about Travis. Maybe he got the rose on his date and she either changed her mind during the date or at the RC. The only other 1:1 that week was Sean right and he obviously got a rose.

Note to self next season: No information or photographic evidence of said contestant before the HTD's begin to film is very bad news.

Yes, Love, some of us wonder if it's legit. Really, though, that's quite a big "secret" to hide. I think you can do it with the F3. To hide him for four weeks would be sorta hard, maybe? Unless there's some other reason that he left...

Regarding the tenor of this thread, I think it's normal--their first date and then the subsequent photos of him in Bermuda and England made it seem like he had a fairly decent shot. "On paper" Ryan possessed many of the qualities that seemed to fit well with the perception of Emily's type: Christian, kind, attractive, successful, established. For as much as I agree with everyone that Emily gets to pick the person who sets her heart on fire, I'm also really curious about the demise of this early frontrunner. From Beck's account of Ryan, I can't imagine him going the way of William. Would he get caught up in the drama? Throw someone under the bus? Or was it that Emily's heart was with someone else?

I think that tomorrow's preview will reinvigorate all of us!

Hi friends! I have been waiting all day to post here & just got time! I obviously am sad our man is...as it seems now... not F4 but that doesn't mean he isn't amazing! I will take my own advice I had when Paige didn't pick Bubba on SHA... Just because someone looks perfect for someone on paper & you would pick them yourself does not mean it is right for that someone else. The heart wants what it wants. If Ryan is as amazing as he appears he will meet The One & maybe the show will help with that. I 2nd the "Where was Jef Holmes all this time" comment....flew under my radar for sure! So excited for promos & premier! Anyone want to have a viewing party? :)

beck beck please send our love to Ryan & if he is ever sad send him over to read our Ryan page!!
