The Bachelor-Brad Womack Take 2--Monday, Jan. 3 NO SPOILERS!

[robinb]

Is this common knowledge on this thread, about Laurel having dated (long term) both Wes and Brad?

Wow. What a skank biscuit.

So happy Michelle went home!

Just wanted to tell you all I am HUGE into nascar and I was talking with my grandma about Emily on the show and we both realized her fiance was Ricky Hendrix. She is part fo the Hendrix family, Hendrix motor sports ect. So she is absolutely loaded! Did you happen to see the house on the show? It looked huge!

Do you think this will weigh in at all on Brad's decision?

When Callie mentioned a few weeks ago that Emily's boyfriend was the son of a Nascar OWNER and that he was a driver, I had a feeling, that, although the daughter, that they didn't know about before death, and probably didn't plan for in the will, would NOT be left financially uncared for by the surviving family and estate. I figured Emily & daughter would be well off.

I don't know if it will affect Brad's decision. But, it's not like it wouldn't affect Emily's. She can afford to make a better decision, in more ways than one. She can literally afford to be choosy, for all her sweetness, and sheltered life. I bet a good part of that sheltering has been due to the cushioning that amount of money can provide.

I have been wondering all this time: Why is she on this show?

Anyone else notice SHE did not participate in the SI swimsuit, topless pictures? I really don't think it was a coincidence that it happened on a group date that she was deliberately not a part of. I think she comes from more class, money and social position of a family (her daughter's) that she needs to uphold and would have said "No, I'm not doing that." She doesn't have to be so desperate to do that or the other activities like jumping off a cliff or rappelling off a building, as the other gals did to keep Brad.

I don't have anything against posing topless. But, I think, Emily, as a mother of a daughter who'd have rich classmate parents within a certain sector of society, who'd look at those photos, she'd say no. Even Madonna regrets her nude photos, now that she has kids and her daughter's friends talked about it.

Wow. What a skank biscuit.

Skank biscuit. I like that.

 

[shortbun]

I don't consider being passive agressive as having a personality; more like a personality disorder.

And regarding Emily, yes, I believe some people can be THAT pure.

Maybe there are people 'that pure' but would they come on The Bachelor? Methinks not. Will she turn down the romance suite at the end? I saw an interview with Ali, she's from here and a local station interviewed her when she came home. She says, 'it's all real.' Riiiight. So sad that these women are so ready to throw themselves at this man just because a TV show wants them to.

 

[DonDraper]

I have to say that I really like Emily. However, if I was Brad, it would be a major concern whether she was truly over her ex and ready to move on. I know she says all the right things but I'd still have my doubts.

What do you all think?

 

[Disney999]

Emily is so beautiful and appears to be very sweet. I hope she gets the final rose. I'm so glad that "crazy" Michelle was sent home. She was always talking about herself...it got annoying!

 

[DonDraper]

Oh, Ashley. If Brad can't handle you being angry and upset and you feel you need to hide it, HE'S NOT THE ONE FOR YOU!!!

Women shouldn't have to hide who they are in order to be loved - that includes the negative emotions.

Women also shouldn't be pushed into activities, like jumping off a cliff (literally,) and putting their lives at risk, like rappeling off a building, just to be loved. What's the difference between that and putting out for sex before a woman feels ready, because a woman is afraid the guy will reject them?

I disagree with this a little bit. She wasn't pushed into it.. she chose to do it. I didn't see anyone behind her saying, "jump, jump, jump.. you have to jump, we're not letting you come back this way." If she didn't feel comfortable with it, she could have said so. Brad is looking for a girl who is adventurous and takes risk. So I didn't really have an issue with this.

With regards to women showing emotions. Of course they can, I don't think Brad has a problem with that in general. But he certainly doesn't want a drama queen or someone who is going to cry, pout, and scream, every time something doesn't go their way.

 

[DonDraper]

I can't believe he is forcing the issue about her daughter. What an ***! He is so self absorbed. He should be dating a mirror instead of a woman.

I think this comment is a bit harsh. If Emily doesn't feel comfortable with Brad meeting her daughter after all this time, I really think she should withdraw from the show.

How do you expect Brad to propose to a woman when he hasn't even met the daughter? That doesn't make any sense.

 

[kimmar067]

Sorry. I just thought it was funny because she's trying to be an actress or model or something - I kept thinking about "Money-Penny" from James Bond. I thought she made it up for a screen name!

...she's WORTH about a penny...

 

[kimmar067]

Skank biscuit. I like that.

....does it come with gravy? [ ]

 

[kimmar067]

...okay, I just gotta vent here - Emily is making such a big issue about Brad meeting her daughter....well then, WTH would she agree to even be on the show, since that is a legit possibility??!!?!?!

I think she thought the Bachelor would be someone better than Brad and someone she'd be more sure of. When they interviewed her, she probably was told the Bachelor was someone like Andrew Firestone. He was someone more on her level financially and was a decent guy who was really looking for love.

NOT A SPOILER...

In the Feb 21 issue of US Weekly, Brad and two women from this season are on the cover, and there aren't any spoilers in the article (just so you know, if you read it), but the article is about Brad's former girlfriend "telling all". The interesting thing about the former girlfriend is that it's "Laurel", who had dated Wes (Jillian season) and is the one that Jake came back to tell Jillian that Wes was still dating.

Is this common knowledge on this thread, about Laurel having dated (long term) both Wes and Brad?

She sounds like a professional spoiler. Why does she keep popping up?

So happy Michelle went home!

Do you think this will weigh in at all on Brad's decision?

I don't think so. I'm sure when Emily gets married, the money for the granddaughter will go into a trust. He has his own thing going, and he's pretty comfortable, I think.

I have to say that I really like Emily. However, if I was Brad, it would be a major concern whether she was truly over her ex and ready to move on. I know she says all the right things but I'd still have my doubts.

What do you all think?

That's what I think - I don't think she's ready, and I hope she finds someone better for herself and her daughter.

I think this comment is a bit harsh. If Emily doesn't feel comfortable with Brad meeting her daughter after all this time, I really think she should withdraw from the show.

...okay, I just gotta vent here - Emily is making such a big issue about Brad meeting her daughter....well then, WTH would she agree to even be on the show, since that is a legit possibility??!!?!?!

That is what I'm wondering - why did she come on the show if she wanted to protect her daughter? Maybe she didn't think she'd get this far, and just wanted to see if she could be ready to move on with her life. Like someone else here said, she could introduce him as a friend and just let them get to know each other, instead of putting pressure on the situation.

....uhhh, FIRST CLUE: the bachelor IS ON THE SHOW.....duh.

 

[kimmar067]

...is she related to Michelle?

 

[Imzadi]

....uhhh, FIRST CLUE: the bachelor IS ON THE SHOW.....duh.

Huh? Not sure what you are saying. Andrew Firestone was like the 3rd Bachelor on the show and he is an heir to the Firestone Tires fortune.

So he would have financially been at Emily's level - assuming she is living in a style according to what her daughter would be accustomed to as the granddaughter of a NASCAR owner. Even if the bulk of the money is in trust, the family wouldn't leave her in poverty til she turned 21. The house in the previews show that.

I still think they are setting her up to be The Bachelorette. Have they ever had one who wasn't on the show previously?

Or maybe she has some book coming out about her tragic experience in a couple months and this is her lead in promotion for it.

...to me, it doesn't really matter WHO is the bachelor/bachelorette - you are gossip fodder on a 'reality' show like that....

I can understand why. He hasn't committed to her yet. We all know those proposals are just for the audience. There is plenty of time for him to get to know her daughter after he commits to her and isn't dating and making out with a half dozen other women. If he were a gentleman, he wouldn't have pushed it, or he would have asked if he could just meet her very casually out in a park for a few minutes.
