Who is your favorite artist and why?
I believe athleticism is the "Art" of movement. Michael Jordan was an incredible Artist.

Yes! I love to make a woman "feel" whether it's appreciated, thought of, loved, wanted, and I believe actions can be taken to draw these emotions.

What is your biggest date fear?
I'll be bored to death.

Not stick up and fighting for my brother when we were young. It never happened again.

New season of The Bachelorette is currently filming in Charlotte, North Carolina (Hello to my big brother who lives there). Anyway, the very lovely Emily Maynard, who parted ways with former Bachelor contestant Brad Womack, is on the man hunt again. In fact, she might find love with one of our own. His name is Ryan Bowers out of Columbia County, a former football player and owner of a local sports training center. According to an article from The Augusta Chronicle, Bowers did receive the first one-on-one date with Emily Maynard. You know, she seems like a nice Southern lady, who needs a nice and delicious-looking Southern gentleman. Hey, this could work out, but if it doesn't...

The Bachelorette premieres ABC Monday, May 14th

I'm sure most will consider it unthinkable, but what if Ryan just wasn't that into Emily either? :hidingchair Of course, they'll never edit it to appear that way, but you never know.

Croatia was first then Prague, I believe.

So could Ryan have had a second 1 on 1 in Croatia and Em did not give him a rose of that date?

I don't think second 1 on 1s are rose or go dates. Could be wrong.

They can be, if they are in episode 5 or 6 (JP's was). It's only the episode 7 dates that aren't, and that's regardless of whether they're the guy's first or second solo date.

On another note, even if the guys were all interested in Emily pre-season and went on the show for her, it's also possible that once meeting her, some realized that she wasn't a good fit for what they were looking for in a girlfriend or wife. Although I suspect for guys, the combination of being physically attracted to her and the natural inclination to want to "win" the competition will keep most of them playing along regardless of what their better judgment may tell them.
