Re: Bachelorette 8 - Media - No Discussion - Thread #1

[Amberish]

Brought this over from the Confirmed F1 tread,

So Jef's best friend Brono and his wife were also part of Jef's hometown date...didn't get aired though.

Thursday, July 5, 2012: Jeffery Carl Holm..lets talk about him.

He is one of our nearest and dearest closets friends.

Maybe you've heard of him recently?

Well......in case you haven't heard of the handsome young lad, he went on an adventure recently that changed up his life a little bit.

Its called The Bachelorette. Heard of it?

And with his life changing, ours has too kinda.

Why has our life changed? For starters, we can't go a damn place without getting mauled by cute, over-enthusiastic, Jef from the Bachelorette loving 12-17 year old girls....or 40+ year old women. Actually, girls...boys...grandparents....truckers....aliens....you name it, and they want a picture with Mr. Holm.

They want proof they've seen him, and duh. We get it. So, Brons and myself are the designated picture takers. A kinda fun, sometimes boring, sometimes crazy, but really actually cool job. Its awesome to see peoples average day turn into an amazing day just by running into him.

BUT, This can be an issue because we go a lot of places with Jef. Sometimes we just want to go to Taco Bell and get a Nacho Bell Grande...this used to be a 5 minute in and out deal...you know, get our fill of fake orange colored nacho cheesiness then be on our way. But now, its kind of an issue. A big issue in fact.

And we also got to meet Emily! When Jef did his hometown date in St. George myself, Bronson, and our girls got invited to go down to their family ranch and chit chat with the southern beauty herself.

To say we were intimidated is an understatement. It was sooo scary...20 cameras everywhere and people listening to everything you're saying..BLAH! Nerve wracking to say the least!

Thankfully, the second we sat down with the two of them our nerves were calmed, even though we may or may not have unconsciously eaten an entire bundle of grapes that were supposed to be a table prop while talking to the lovebirds(...maybe that's the reason ABC edited us out of the episode...? ha ha I don't blame them). But, Emily was the sweetest, least intimidating, most charming and warm girl ever. Honestly, she was a gem.

So, with each passing Monday more and more people are falling in love with Jef, and do I blame them? Nope. He's an easy to like kinda guy. I guess what I'm saying is never in my life did I expect to be in a position that, lately, I find myself in quite a bit. Never did I foresee any of my friends becoming famous overnight. And what is he famous for?...just being a cool guy.

Awesome kind of. Weird too. But I give him props...I get overwhelmed by the amount of people attacking him and wanting him every second. He handles it so amazingly well. Jef is always so kind to everyone, acknowledges each fan, and takes time out of his life to make someone else's day a little bit cooler.

And believe it or not, all of this hasn't changed him. He's still the same ole, same ole down to Earth guy.

If you haven't been watching, start now. Mondays at 7 on ABC!

The Bachelorette: Who Should Be The Final Two?



Monday July 09, 2012 02:30 PM EDT

It's decision time!

Emily Maynard has narrowed her field of prospective suitors down to three: Jef, Sean and Arie. And it doesn't look like she'll have an easy time with letting one guy go on Monday night's episode of The Bachelorette.

The foursome travel to the island of Curacao, where Maynard raves about Sean on camera. "Sean does a million things a day to tell me that he's the one for me," she says in an exclusive preview of the new episode. "But I need to know more. I can't go through this and fall in love and have it not work again."

She's expressed similar feelings for Jef, with whom she finds common ground. "Just like me, there are two sides to Jef and I love that we can bond over so many different things," Maynard blogged for PEOPLE.com.

As for racecar driver Arie, "I saw a different side of Arie after meeting his family and have an even bigger soft spot in my heart for him," she blogged.

So who stays and who goes after the stay in Curacao?

Bachelorette Sneak Peek: Will Emily Offer the Men the Fantasy Suite Card?

It's fantasy date week on The Bachelorette, but will single mom Emily offer up the overnight fantasy suite card?

The Bachelorette's Chris Harrison: "Emily narrowed it down to three phenomenal guys"

In the first clip from Monday's episode, Emily presents Jef with the offer, but he doesn't necessarily jump at the chance to spend a night alone with Emily. "That's a tough question to ask," Jef says.

During Sean's date, Emily asks him about his past relationship. "There came a point where I knew that she wasn't the one for me and I knew I wasn't supposed to spend the rest of my life with her," Sean says. "I loved her, but I wasn't in love with her."

In the final clip, Emily and Arie swim with dolphins. "Arie is so protective over me," Emily says. "It shows me he would be a great dad."

Who do you think will make it to the final two?

The Bachelorette's Chris Harrison: "I Got Teary!"

On this week's episode of The Bachelorette, Emily sadly and tearfully said goodbye to Sean and even host Chris Harrison says he welled up watching their farewell.

"I just wanted to give the guy a hug and make it OK and give her a hug," Harrison tells TVGuide.com. "You'll see next week at the 'Men Tell All' he's still heartbroken."

Keep reading for more on Harrison's reaction to the fantasy dates, why he's proud of Emily and whose hot-seat conversation next week is extremely uncomfortable. Plus: Why did Emily ask to not watch the guys' video messages?

Did you have any idea who Emily was going to let go?
Chris Harrison: You could easily make a case for all three that they are the best man for her. They will love her, respect her, take care of Ricki — they're perfect — and I've never been able to say that before. I've never been able to run through the final three and give you a laundry list of things why they're the best guy.

Bachelorette Sneak Peek: Will Emily offer the men the fantasy suite card?

What do you think ultimately led Emily to cut Sean?
Harrison: On paper and in her head, Sean is the guy, and without a doubt one of the greatest guys she's met. Publicly, I think she's even afraid that she's going to be tarred and feathered for not picking him, but in her heart it just wasn't there like it was for Arie and Jef.

How tough was that goodbye?
Harrison: Watching that goodbye I got teary. I just wanted to give the guy a hug and make it OK and give her a hug. I thought it was the most emotional, heartfelt goodbye we've ever had, and she really said it all when she said, "I wanted it to be you so bad." She really tried to force herself into thinking Sean was the guy but thought, "I can't want it to be you; it has to be you." For him to have opened up and say all the things he did, you know that doesn't come easy for him. You'll see next week at the Tell All he's still heart-broken.

The Bachelorette's Chris Harrison: "Emily narrowed it down to three phenomenal guys"

Were you surprised when Emily wouldn't trust herself to be alone with Arie?
Harrison: Her and Arie definitely have that intangible physical attraction. I'm just proud that Emily let herself embrace and feel all of this, and she walked the line beautifully where she did talk and act like a normal woman would like, "I want nothing more to jump his bones."

Jef asked some poignant questions about Ricki and their future.
Harrison: Jef has a youthful exuberance and is wonderful to be around, but she's also very attracted to the guy who wrote that letter [after Prague] and is very thoughtful in a serious manner. One complaint about our show sometimes is we don't show them talking politics or religion so I'm glad we showed these real-world conversations.

The video messages were back!
Harrison: We always shoot them, [but] we don't always show them. It just depends on whether or not it's clear that one guy is going or that it's not as emotional of an episode. This was such an extraordinary situation with three guys so in love with her it fit. We didn't show it, but she actually asked me, "Do I have to watch these?" I convinced her that "These guys took the time to say this stuff. You at least owe it to them to watch it. It's not fair to take the easy way out."

The Bachelorette's Chris Harrison: Next week's decision is not as easy as people think

What can we expect from next week's "Men Tell All"?
Harrison: It was very emotional, and I was surprised at how emotional Chris was. People will really see how special Emily is and get a sense as to why all these guys were falling in love with her.

I assume Kalon will be in the hot seat?
Harrison: It wasn't as intense until Emily came out and confronted him and then it got very contentious and slightly uncomfortable. He tried to be a wily politician, and good on her for not backing down. There's a moment that got a round of applause from the audience.

Was there any arguing among men?
Harrison: I was worried it would be a big bro fest, but they definitely weren't afraid to rip on each other.

'Bachelorette' Fantasy Suite: Past Winner Reveals 10 Scandalous Secrets

Every season, fans tune in for the most intoxicating episode of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette known as the overnight dates installment. Because well, up until this point in the season, all of the making out and kissing, it doesn't quite do it for us. And while Emily Maynard refused to spend the night with her final three contenders — Sean, Jef, and Arie — during Monday night's episode, that's not usually the case. We usually get to see a little bit more action like Ben Flajnik sucking Courtney Robertson's tongue in the hot tub or Vienna Girardi slamming the door in the camera's face as she falls into bed in nothing but lingerie with her former fiance Jake Pavelka. This season may have a been a little more on the non-pervy side — but former Bachelorette winner (from DeAnna Pappas' season) Jesse Csincsak shares 10 scandalous secrets with Hollywood.com exclusively of what goes on behind closed doors in the fantasy suites.

Do the couples have sex? Is protection provided? Are the producers getting to see some porn scenes from the footage that they caught? All these questions and more are answered. So, read on to fulfill your deep, dark Bachelorette curiosity.

1. Producers don't push couples to hook up. "Not really hook up, but they want a scandalous bath tub scene," Csincsak says. "Once it gets down to final three, you are on your own. You're sailing your own boat. There's no more captain." He adds: "You always see a poured bath that's drawn in all these fantasy suites. Every season they always try to get people to go in the bathtub together." But that's about it. "It never happens."

2. People do have sex, though, behind closed doors. "The fact that she [Maynard] didn't blows my mind," says Csincsak. "Have you ever thought about being engaged to a guy that you hadn't been with? You don't buy a car without beating the sh*t out of it first. Anything that you are going to have that is expensive or for the long-run, you touch it, feel it, squeeze it, break it. That's the society we live in."

3. There are no cameras filming the sex scenes. "[Most of] the cameras that are used for the production of The Bachelor are shoulder ridden," explains Csincsak. "Everything is a big camera. There's no way to just mount one in the corner." He says that, though, at a certain point the cameras leave and the couples are left alone... somewhat.

4. But producers can hear what goes on in the fantasy suites. "There's never a microphone free moment," Csincsak admits. "They will take the microphone off of you, but everywhere they put you, they have those rooms wired. No camera, [but] they can hear audio, what you are talking about. They'll need to be able to produce you the next day if you come up with a grand scheme. Potentially yes, [they can hear your sex noises]."

5. Producers provide protection for couples. "There's everything you need to be good about it," says Csincsak. "That's what I mean by they make it very safe."

6. There's no down time between the one-night stands. "It's back to back to back," Csincsak states. "Four nights in a row or three nights in a row. Most people that are on the show have never watched the show. That's how they cast you. You don't know how it works. You don't realize that's what's going on right in front of your eyes. After the show is over, you realize what you saw. It's hindsight."

7. The bubblies are provided to help set the mood. "There's always champagne every where you go," notes Csincsak. "Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries."

8. Host Chris Harrison doesn't write the fantasy suite cards. "Producer Casey writes those," Csincsak shares. "It's a gold mine of awkward talking. That was the coolest part about Jef [from Monday's episode] — that he didn't wait for the card. He just went boom, bring the awkwardness right out. The dude was so good at it. That was all him. If you plan on doing it, its not so awkward. He was probably the only one who was like, 'I got this.'"

9. Producers don't feed lines on how to say yes or no when the cards arrive. "They give you topics, and I guarantee Sean was coached through it," says Csincsak. "Jef was the only one really on it."

10. Runner-ups do get pissed that they had sex and then got dumped. "I probably would be," Csincsak says. "This season it's not going to be the case, but contestants do talk after the show."

At this point in the season, production seems to give Bachelors and Bachelorettes more free reign. Whatever happens behind closed doors remains there... unless the stars decide to dish themselves. "Once it gets down to the final four and the production factor goes off, there's no tension in the room," says Csincsak. "No cameras in your face. It's when you actually get to be yourself. And get to know the other person. When it goes to final 4-3, this is when things become normal." (Well, if you call meeting your boyfriend or girlfriend on national television normal, then yeah!)

PRESS RELEASE - ENTERTAINMENT - BACHELORETTE CONFERENCE CALL WITH SEAN (7/12)

MEDIA ALERT


PLEASE JOIN US THURSDAY FOR A TELECONFERENCE CALL WITH SEAN-
THE FINAL MAN ELIMINATED ON ABC'S "THE BACHELORETTE"


WHAT:
Teleconference call with Sean, who was crushed when Emily decided not to extend one of the final two roses to him.

WHEN:
Thursday, July 12, 12:30 p.m., ET/11:30 a.m., CT/9:30 a.m., PT

WHO:
Sean, 28, an insurance agent from Dallas, TX, was the "perfect" man by all of Emily's standards - except that he hadn't been able to tell her that he loved her yet. Now he knew he must put his heart on the line or risk losing Emily. During their romantic dinner, Sean mustered up the courage to tell Emily that he couldn't picture his life without her, that he had fallen in love with her and wanted to be Ricki's dad. And with that, he read her a touching letter he wrote to Ricki. He welcomed the drastic change that would take place in his life if Emily gave him the final rose. Emily, for her part, was sad because the three dates she had with the final three men didn't bring any clarity to her. She was scared she might make the wrong choice. Sean was so sure he would marry her that he was blindsided when Emily didn't give him a rose. Through her tears, Emily told Sean how she wanted him to be the final one and that she would miss him. Ever the gentleman, even though his heart was breaking, Sean expressed his care for her and thanked her for everything. He had thought all week about Emily being his wife, about him being a husband and father. He pictured himself with Emily and Ricki, starting a big family. Sean felt like that had been stolen from him. But now he knew more than ever that he wanted to love someone with every fiber of his being.

EMILY FACES THE MEN SHE REJECTED, AS 17 JILTED BACHELORS CONFRONT HER
ON ABC'S "THE BACHELORETTE: THE MEN TELL ALL," MONDAY, JULY 16


Get a Sneak Peek at the Explosive, Upcoming Third Season of "Bachelor Pad"


"The Men Tell All" - It's an exciting, unpredictable reunion viewers won't want to miss, as the most memorable bachelors from this season - including Sean, Chris, Kalon, Ryan, Doug, John "Wolf," Tony and Travis - return to confront each other and Emily one last time on national television to dish the dirt and tell their side of the story. Tensions flare as the guys face off about one of the most disliked bachelors this season -- Ryan. And one of the most controversial men, Kalon, takes the hot seat and gets a severe dressing down by the rest of the bachelors over his behavior. Sean, a devastated fan-favorite, also takes the hot seat, revealing how he handled his broken heart. Emily and Chris Harrison look back at some of the unforgettable moments of the season, as well as some unseen gems. A special preview of the third season of "Bachelor Pad" will also be presented, on "The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All," MONDAY, JULY 16 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Sparks will fly when the men challenge Ryan, whose arrogance irritated the other bachelors, when he tries to explain his behavior. Many of the guys were threatened by his relationship with Emily, and they definitely didn't think he was there for "the right reasons."

And what does Kalon have to say about his devastating comment, calling Emily's daughter, Ricki, "baggage" and the firestorm it caused? When he takes the hot seat, the men just rip into him, accusing him of being there for the spotlight and the glamour. The war of words boils over as Kalon tries to justify his actions.

A dejected Sean seeks closure, disclosing that he has "never had a broken heart" until now with Emily. Not only did he truly fall in love, but still has strong feelings for her. He debated whether he should come back and try to convince her that she made a mistake. In the end, he was grateful for what Emily did give him. She showed him what he wanted out of life.

Chris, who made it to the final four, shares his devastation at being sent home. He loved Emily so much that he was totally blindsided about how much it hurt him. He also reveals what falling in love with her really meant to him.

Then it's Emily's turn to confront the men. She wants to make sure Sean knows that their parting was very tough on her as well, and that their relationship was totally real to her. What does she thank Doug for, and what huge regret does she have about the group date in London? And in one more bombshell, she lets Kalon know in no uncertain terms what she thinks of him.

It's the bachelors as you've never seen them before! The special also includes a sneak peek of the Season Finale and the final two bachelors, Arie and Jef, vying for Emily's heart and the final rose.

Booted Bachelorette Contestant: I Thought I Was Going to Marry Emily Maynard
By Carrie Bell
Wednesday July 11, 2012 10:00 AM EDT

After he braved public speaking in the Hyde Park, searched the streets of Prague to steal extra time – and kisses – and worked up the courage to declare his love for Bachelorette Emily Maynard in Curacao, Sean Lowe was sent home sans rose in a final-three shocker.

PEOPLE caught up with the Dallas insurance agent, 28, at last weekend's Men Tell All reunion taping, where he admitted it was "a little weird and awkward to see Emily again," because "it transported me back to a very sad moment in my life." Still, he was able to reflect.

What went wrong?
I don't think anything went wrong necessarily. Me, Ari and Jef are three very different guys. We all have our own great qualities and, I'm sure, we all have a few that aren't so great. At the end of the day, Emily realized I'm not the one for her and had to make the decision that was best for her. It was hard to accept at the moment, but I've come to realize that when I find my wife, she's not going to have any doubts about whether I'm the one she wants to be with forever.

Were you blindsided?
I was absolutely shocked. I didn't think in a million years that I was going home that night. I was standing at that rose ceremony thinking I was going to marry her.

Did you understand why that night?
No, it happened so fast. I was confused. It's like, "Sean you didn't get the rose. Say your goodbyes. Go home." I didn't have much of a chance to say anything. I didn't get answers. When she walked me out, I was in no state to have a serious conversation. I was seeking closure, some of which I got tonight. It helped that I took extra time off work when I got home and spent time with my family. After a few weeks it hurt less, and I realized she was not the one for me, either. If she was, she wouldn't have had any doubts about our future.

That's a healthy way to look at it.
Well, it did take a few weeks to get to that point. I'm not a saint. I created my own closure. The positive reception I've gotten from viewers also helped.

Knowing you're not the one, would you have rather gone home earlier?
No. I'm glad I made it as far as I did. I experienced heartbreak for the first time and it sucked. I don't want to do that ever again. Once is enough, but once is an important life moment. It opened my eyes to what I want out of life, love and my wife. I want someone to love for the rest of my life. I want a family to live the simple life with. Emily made me aware of how much I wanted that, and that it's important to open yourself up to love. For that, I'm forever grateful.

Any hard feelings?
I wish nothing but the best for Emily. I'm not mad she didn't choose me. She had to do what was right for her. That isn't to say I wasn't really sad or that it doesn't hurt to see the episode. When I saw the footage, it took me right back to that night in Curacao. But I also care about her and want her to have her happy ending. I'm sure, whether she chooses Ari or Jef, it's going to be great because those are both great guys. I would never say a bad word about either of them.

You spent a lot of time with her and with the final two men. Do you think one is better for her than the other?
I don't think I could ever answer that. I got to know them very well. Ari and Jef are fantastic guys and have qualities that make it easy to understand why she finds them attractive. But it comes down to Emily's heart, and I don't know what type of special connection she has with those guys. It isn't like I spent a lot of my time with her talking about why she liked them. But she can't go wrong with either.

Are both ready to be a husband and stepfather?
Yes. I would never have allowed her to get that far with a guy who wasn't ready. I would have spoken up if I questioned their intentions and qualifications. I would have pulled myself out if I hadn't felt ready.

You're a popular choice among viewers to be the next Bachelor. Interested?
That's a hard question. If ABC offered, I would have to think long and hard. It was an emotionally draining experience. Could I go through that again? I could end up heartbroken again. But I'm an open-minded optimist, and I believe the process can work. I fell in love. If I found my wife, it would be worth it.

Are you ready to date again?
Yes. Hopefully, Mrs. Right will come around sooner rather than later.

Emily Maynard has been warned by Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s ex-girlfriend, Cassie Harshman, not to choose her ex as the winner of The Bachelorette 2012. Cassie alleges that Arie is a womanizing playboy who is just using Emily and the TV show to boost his fame. Cassie’s disgust with Arie was cemented when she earned that he ruthlessly sold her out by revealing to Emily a tragic secret they shared.

According to RadarOnline Cassie told Star Magazine all sorts of unpleasant details about Arie including: “He’s in it for the fame,” and that “Arie has dated hundreds of women and travels all over the world.” Given what we know about Emily, who is also totally invested in becoming a big star, these two sound perfectly matched! Let’s be serious – Emily Maynard is all about the fame and fortune and not about the romance.

She even scoffed at the idea that Arie was looking for love – “Clearly, he doesn’t need help finding a date or someone to fall in love with,” she said, following up with: “The whole idea of Arie being on The Bachelorette is a joke. He hasn’t raced much since 2008, and I know with certainty that his only motive for going on the show was for the fame and attention.”

While putting down her ex, whom she dated from dated 2009 until 2011, and lived with along with her two small children from a previous relationship, Cassie also took the opportunity to knock Arie’s parenting: “He wasn’t the best father figure to my children” – “Let’s just say that Arie has some growing up to do himself.”

As far as the betrayal mentioned above, it seems that Arie told Emily all about the miscarriage Cassie suffered while pregnant with Arie’s child: “What happened is one of the hardest things a woman can go through. I’ve moved on, but Arie using that to try and elicit sympathy from Emily is horrible.” The scene was eventually cut from the TV show.

So there you have it. Arie is not the marrying kind according to someone who should know. Will Emily be sharp enough to see through Arie? Is Arie actually all that bad? After all, we are learning this from a disgruntled ex-lover. Besides – we know that Emily chooses Jef Holm!

We’ve watched all season as Bachelorette Emily Maynard and frontrunner Arie Luyendyk have smooched their way across the world, but sources in Arie’s home of Scottsdale, AZ tell SheKnows not to bet on him taking home Emily’s heart.

“[We] are 98% sure he doesn’t win,” say sources close to the 30-year-old race car driver. “He’s not acting like an engaged guy should act.”

CONFESSION: I flirted with Bachelorette finalist Arie last week >>

SheKnows has learned that since Arie returned home to Arizona he has been carrying on like a single guy — going out to bars in Old Town Scottsdale, flirting with women and having late-night get-togethers at his Bachelor pad.

"He has girls over to his place frequently and they stay up till like 2 a.m. drinking," said our source.

Two weeks ago Luyendyk was spotted at Scottsdale hotspot El Hefe with four female friends, drinking and dancing up a storm.

Our sources say this could be attributed to the fact that Arie doesn’t really have any male friends.

“All of his friends are girls,” says our source. “He doesn’t have any guy friends.”

Still, we hear he may be getting close to one lady in particular.

A source tells SheKnows that while Arie has not said whether or not he wins the Bachelorette, he has been spending a lot of time with one woman. The source says that once the show is over he, “wouldn’t be surprised if they started dating.”

Additionally, rumor has it that Arie had been in contact with several women while on the show, texting them the entire time he was wooing Emily.

If Arie is dismissed on June 22nd, it would be in line with predictions from notorious Bachelor-buster, Reality Steve. If he proposes though, Emily may have some questions for the Scottsdale dancing machine.

See what Arie said about his chances back in June >>

Guess we’ll just have to wait and see!

'Bachelorette' Finalist Arie Luyendyk Has Even More 'Baggage' Than We Thought

Fans are all wondering who Emily Maynard will pick on The Bachelorette finale on July 22, and honestly, she really can't go wrong with either of her two remaining men. Jef Holm is pretty much the definition of what a perfect husband and father figure should be, and he and Emily really seem to fit together like two pieces of a puzzle.

And even though Arie Luyendyk's ex is now warning Emily not to pick him because he's nothing but a money-hungry fame whore -- he and Em really do seem to have some genuine chemistry going on.

But according to his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Harshman (he must really have a thing for girls named Cassie), Arie "has dated hundreds of women and travels all over the world" and "his only motive for going on the show is for fame and attention."

Cassie poured her heart out to Star Magazine about what a jerk Arie is, and issued a stern warning to Emily saying that he wasn't a good father figure to her children and has a lot of growing up to do.

Ok, so it's all well and good that she's trying to warn Emily about what she believes Arie's true intentions to be -- but if she really wanted to save her from heartbreak, why in the heck did she wait until after the show was done filming to speak her piece? Because if Emily did pick Arie in the final rose ceremony, Cassie's warning definitely arrived a little too late.

And by selling her "story" about Arie to a tabloid like Star, isn't she basically doing the exact same thing she's scolding him for? The only possible reason why she would take her claims to the media instead of trying to go directly to Emily is because she's looking for "fame and attention," the very thing she believes Arie is after.

I guess it's possible that Cassie is just trying to do the right thing and open Emily's eyes to the possibility of Arie having a dark side, but unfortunately for her, talking to Star only makes her look like a huge hypocrite who is trying to make a cheap buck off her ex's time in the spotlight.

But regardless of whether he winds up with Emily in the end or not, Arie may never escape the skeletons in his closet or stop feeling the weight of his heavy past.

What do you think about Arie -- is he truly in love with Emily?
