How have we not talked Bachelor? SPOILERS

IdahoGirl · March 2011

Anyone watch? Or watch the After the Rose show?

Thoughts?

My take? From what little I can tell about the "real" Brad and "real" Emily, they seem awful sweet and I hope they do make it. I dunno though....seems like perhaps there's too much to overcome.

Lord knows I certainly couldn't watch the guy I was into romance other women!

Sounds like he has a temper though. I wonder what that's all about? I'm glad she is hesitant to uproot her child before making sure he can be a positive male figure for her. Emily sure seems more feisty. She's a class act al around I think. I think she deserves netter than a bunch of tabloid garbage and a pretty uncertain love life. I hoped he would pick Chantal for that reason.

I haven't watched it but I was cheering for Chantal only because she grew up on Mercer Is. near me.

TwinMommy09 · March 2011

Do you think they are still together? I want them to make it. Have heard they are not together.

I think Chantal could have handled Brad better. She really wants to please Brad.

Emily seems to try to saying the right thing. But her action of not wanting to move yet--it would be difficult for them to get to know each other with a long distance relationship. He seems to be more into her than she is.

I was shocked he picked Emily... she seemed too cotton candy sweet for him. I thought he needed some one with fire.

I'm impressed to see she actually has a backbone. Good for her for putting her child first. If it's that important to him, he should recognize that it's way easier for him to temporarily move closer to her to see if they can have a life together... he's got the Bachelor pay-out after all... what's 6 months?

I agree with you! I think she got a lot of flack over how she questioned him on their date, but COME ON she is a mom and he has no experience with kids. It's not like they were dating for a year.

Personally I think Brad is a douche, I hope Emily kicks him to the curb, she deserves better. I think he is shady, hiding something and has a bad temper.

Chantal seems happy with her new dude, she was a cool chick on the show.

How much do they get paid?

an I do think Emily is too good for him. He seems like he could snap at any time. I thought it was so weird how he got all sweaty and mad when she was saying about how it's not all fun being a parent. Not having kids he doesn't know. But we all got exactly what she was saying right??

on good morning America they were saying that people are saying that Emily some sort of strong feminist woman for not moving and for her reaction to this all. Which I guess? But i think she's just a mom who cares about her kid and not a bimbo looking for short term fame like a lot of the contestants.

and I totally agree that brad should move to her for a little while. He clearly could leave for the bachelor so it's not like no one can take care of his bars or whatever. It's completely right to not pull a kid from school and uproot her life if you're not sure. Oh an one thing on GMA said they were trying for a baby?? WTF would that be about if they aren't even sure if they want to get married??

I never saw the "see he could snap" part.....but the whole scene with him being upset when she was questioning him....I thought that was weird and I TOTALLY got why she was asking that...but in the same breath, I can understand why he was getting worked up - it's never fun to have your intentions questioned.

Oh and I also wanted to add that her daughter is a Hendrix, they are very wealthy and powerful. Rick Hendrix is the owner of a NASCAR team that is wildly successful. His son was Ricky the guy that died in the plan crash, I'm not sure how keen they are on her taking their grand-daughter to Austin either. Of course that wasn't mentioned but that's just a thought.

I though about that too. I actually was watching the race the day that crash happened. Well steve was watching. I was also in the room.

But I figured early on that she would say she couldn't move. But then again loads of people don't live near their grandparents. So I'm pretty sure they can't stop her. And they can afford to visit a lot. Plus they travel all the time anyway. The NASCAR season is pretty much all damn year long.

This. I am so glad my husband doesn't watch NASCAR.

And when you saw her home, if it wasn't already confirmed that she's either from a wealthy family or that Ricky was, it was then. What 24 year old has a home like that when she was also a mom at 18 with no husband.

I think even more than for him, for her sake I hope she does well in life. She just seems really, really sweet.

Now that it's over, does reality steve have anything interesting we should know about? Who did he think it would be at first? I heard he was initially wrong? Are people feeding him bad info to mess him up??

This. He has rubbed me the wrong way all season.

He says he has a couple of bad sources, but he did think it would be Chantel at first.

I definitely recognize the signs of a temper problem with Brad. He is emotional and you can tell he has a hard time controlling those emotions at times. There were a few times during the season when he got mad at people and the girls would call him on it. And tell me that ABC didn't pay for major therapy for him just so he could find love? He has major dad issues, which is probably what his anger stems from.

Emily seems sweet. DH calls her a proper southern girl. BUT I see major insecurities in her. Going on to a show like the Bachelor, you have to prepare yourself to see the dude hookin' up with all the chicks. She could've left at any time (like vampire girl did early on).

I wonder if ABC provides any kind of couples counseling for these guys. They have a vested interest in seeing them last, as they only have 3 successful couples. They need it for sure.

I just never, ever sensed a spark with Brad and Emily. Just awkwardness. There was never a natural flow. Watching how he reacted to her on ATFR though, he seemed totally smitten, while she seemed very guarded. Even during the proposal, it was all him and not her at all.

Reality Steve is just blabbing on, as always, defending himself. He doesn't seem to know the current state of things, other than they are saying they are engaged. The ATFR was just filmed within the last week, so it is current.

One more thing - I think they said right off the bat that whomever he chose would have to move to Texas because he wasn't leaving.

AND I heard that Emily had dated Dale Earnheardt Jr after her fiance died.

AND I heard that Emily had dated Dale Earnheardt Jr after her fiance died.

I heard this as well, JR has made it very clear that he is the man and won't take anything from any woman. Nice, I am sure it didn't last long if Emily is as tough as she seems.
