Reality TV World: When did you decide to begin introducing your daughter Ricki to the bachelors and what went into making your decision? How did you determine what the appropriate time was?

Emily Maynard: I mean, she was very sheltered the entire way through and obviously, I can't say if I introduced her to anyone or not, but she had no idea what was going on. She didn't meet any of the guys, you know.

Skateboarding Jef, note-writing Ryan, and racecar driver Arie also landed on her standout list. The adrenaline junky's racing career did anything but irk Emily, who told ETonline, "Arie is such a great guy. He could have been a taxi driver and I wouldn’t have cared." Satisfied with her selections, Emily does waver slightly, saying, "If I could go back and could have kept one extra, I would have kept Randy who dressed up like a grandma. That took a lot of guts."

'Bachelorette' Emily Maynard Sounds Off on 'Helicopter Guy,' Bad Boy Bentley Williams

The Bachelorette's new season is now (dramatically) underway, with Emily Maynard handing out roses to prospective husbands.

The Emily edition premiered Monday on ABC, and as usual, there were some bad eggs interspersed among the higher-quality candidates who caught Maynard's eye. The single mom, 26, gave her first impression rose to 33-year-old charity director -- and single dad -- Doug Clerget, who has a Mark Wahlberg, salt-of-the-earth vibe.

But is she in love?

"You know, I don't know. I don't know," the Charlotte, N.C., resident said Tuesday during a press call. "You'll have to watch. I'll get in trouble."

Despite her past experience as the winner of Brad Womack's heart on The Bachelor -- they broke up last year -- Maynard was nervous to meet her 25 suitors, one of whom made a grand entrance via a helicopter. Kalon McMahon, a 27-year-old luxury brand consultant from Houston, invoked the ire of his rivals when his chopper arrived, James Bond-style, while the other guys rode in on a limo.

McMahon's gesture was also a turn-off for Maynard.

"Anyone that knows me knows I would take a classic pickup truck over a brand new Ferrari any day, so if he was trying to impress me, he probably took the wrong approach," she said. "But he's very unique, and he is who is he."

She said she initially feared two other men might step out of the 'copter: either Womack, or Bentley Williams, the villain from the previous Bachelorette installment starring Ashley Hebert. On camera, he sniped that he wished Maynard was in Hebert's spot and would "rather be swimming in pee than plan a wedding with Ashley."

"I definitely thought it was going to be Brad or Bentley coming out of the helicopter," recalled Maynard, saying she was "stressing out."

She called Hebert, who gave her final rose to New Yorker J.P. Rosenbaum (they're still together, for real), one of the "sweetest" people and a friend.

That said, "I want to give Bentley the benefit of the doubt and just hope that he was able to watch [the show] and ... fix a couple things," she said.

As for her 6-year-old daughter, Ricki, Maynard -- who entered the show on a quest for a marriage-minded man/good father -- said the little girl bonded with the show's crew and was told "it was for a very elaborate family home video."

Known for her reserved, shy demeanor, Maynard displays a bolder side in season promos, where she is shown telling someone, "Well, then get the f--k out!"

"I am feisty," she said. "I am sassy. ... I've never been called 'boring' in my everyday life."

I think she meant Ricky will meet whoever she ended up with (if she ended up with anyone)? But not during regular dates or meet the family!

She contradicts herself she first days I can't say if i introduced her to anyone or not then says she didn't meet any of the guys.

^I think she means that Ricki didn't meet plenty of the guys, just maybe the F1 and possibly F2. JMO!

by nutty1 Wed May 16, 2012 10:27 pm

She did say (was it in an interview) that Ricki would only meet the F1 guy.

He says he won't be watching the show because he has no interest in it. He says Emily is a "Hell of a woman". Goes on to say when ask about his life without Emily and He says he's glad and HE THINKS HE DODGED A BULLET IN THE RELATIONSHIP! I could not believe he said that, but he said it on video, so he said it. He says he's happy and hopes she's happy and it works out for her. He said he has no time to date and he has been on one date in the past year.

BTW, I think he's lying. He'll be glued to the tv watching Em's season. Remember, this guy is a fanatic about the show. He has always said that he has watched the show since the beginning & one of its' biggest fans, so why wouldn't he watch Emily's unless there is still some hurt there..Yea, he'll watch, I don't care what he says.

Well, Brad said he didn't have one piece of Bachelor memorbilia, so I guess he trashed little Ricki's drawings too. This definitely doesn't sound like the guy that Emily said was fully supportive of her being on the show and was excited for her. I just think if he was completely over her with no hurt feelings, he would watch the show and see how it turns out. BTW, the boy is watching the show no matter what he says, and I think it's only human for it to be hurtful seeing her kiss other guys. Somethings not right, because I thought they were going to remain friends. Doesn't sound like it according to him. You know Em is going to see this interview and I bet she is going to be p***** at his thinking he "dodged a bullet in that relationship" remark about her. That remark just floored me because Brad has always been such a gentleman towards his ex's and has never said a bad thing about any of them, including Laurel who trashed him to the tabloids. Personally, I was disappointed in him for saying that, even if he felt it. I know Em is going to be hurt by his remark & she has never said anything bad about him at all. I think it was below the belt! jmo Besides that, it was such a un-Brad-like comment. Not like him at all!

Yeah, I really don't see her choosing someone, much less get engaged to someone, that hadn't met her daughter.

That comment was weird though. I would've thought she met the F2, but she could've just said that if she had. Jason's son met the F2 and I don't remember him getting any grief for it. I'm thinking, along with Love_Me knowing it was Jef before the FRC, that it was an Ali scenario. Or something like it. So maybe Jef was the only one she met, but it was still before the FRC?
