We are watching The Bachelorette, aren't we? <br />I actually couldn't stand your girl until this season. I respect her more now for sure. <br />I have to admit that I too was zipping through and I guess I missed a funny line that I'm wondering if you missed too. Did she really say she'd "go all West Virginia hoodrat on his ass"? My friend and hubby (shhhh) both quoted it to me the following day and I wasn't sure which bumpkin cult they had joined together. Alas, 'twas the Cult of Emily. :)<br />And I agree that the Hendricks aren't letting Ricki go ANYWHERE!

Being LDS myself, I can tell you that any Mormon guys past 30 that aren't married yet tend to have commitment issues,pornography issues, or depression. Most marry early to mid twenties and start families while in college. The men tend to go on missions ages 19-21 that have them come back being unbelievably mature for their age. They have taken on huge responsibilities that prepare them for both the professional world and responsibilities of family life. Even by 25, I can tell the difference between an LDS guy who served a mission and one who didn't without them telling me, just based on maturity level. <br /><br />I have to also say that I grew up in the south, and all of my religious Christian guy friends also married in their early 20's and started families, while my Mormon guy friends waited till upper 20's. I think it's not just Mormon's this is a norm for, but many men of a devout Christian faith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-67449138532496642462012-06-15T11:58:45.732-05:002012-06-15T11:58:45.732-05:00Generally the only reason someone would want a pot...Generally the only reason someone would want a potential spouse to "convert" to Mormonism would be to marry in their temples (you have to meet high moral standards for this, even if already a Mormon). Jef is obviously not an active member (he drinks, swears, etc.) and obviously wasn't intent on finding a Mormon girl to marry (or he wouldn't have gone on the show). He's about as Mormon as Michelle Money or Bentley was (again, all of them from LDS families but obviously do not associate themselves with the religion). That being said, he seems to come from a good family and I think is a fantastic individual (not only donating bottles of water, but installing wells in third-world countries in little towns with no clean water.

Very witty as usual!<br />Im a reader from Canada, and we have roots to "London Town" so i laughed out loud to all your "english" comments.<br /><br />I love the fact that someone else noticed Aarie's resemblence to John Travolta while he was dressed as a nurse for the r&j play!!! it totaly weirded me out. Isnt it appropo that Aarie's JT resemblance only surface once he was "in drag!!"<br /><br />As for Emily and all her trenches and gloves. Well, very demure and classy look. Very London. <br />However, did anyone else notice her ORANGE hands!!! I mean, i love me some fake bake too, but that girl has taken it to the next level! just because her tans are "free" as we all know, im sure they are covered by ABC... <br />Im thinking the gloves we're a clever prop used to cover her nic stained knuckles. I mean, overly tanned knuckles. <br />lol. Sweet lovely girl, i loved her spunk this week! i felt it was about f'ing time Kalon left!<br /><br />Jef is cute, and i will speak from experience that just because a man is younge, doesnt mean he cant take on a woman and her child & transition into family life & love them unconditionally.<br />I married my husband when I was 25 and he was 23. I have a son (form a previous relationship)who was 3 when we married. <br />We have been happily married for 5 yrs & still going strong, and he loves my son as his own. <br /><br />These younge guys signed up for the gig KNOWING she has a child... they must all want to be a parent figure... or atleast are up for the challenge of trying.<br /><br />Go Em! i hope she finds a keeper! and ditches the tanner.<br />As for Ryan... not a keeper, tons of self love from that guy, but i did love his extra kiss & "not quite dead" comment. he layed off the schmooze this week, and I ACTUALLY found myself smiling at a few of his comments. DP, you mentioned Emily falling for him termporarily in her current "weakened mental state" maybe its her current weakened "menstral state" oy! She really seemed emotional this week, and not just cause of the "Kalon Situation" Im a gal, i can speak from the heart on this subject....<br /><br />Some Guy, i continue to wait with baited breath every week for your re-cap... loves!<br /><br />Lauren - Ontario, CANAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-7368606714476460332012-06-15T10:39:29.212-05:002012-06-15T10:39:29.212-05:00Heather, happy to do so!

As far as Channing Tatum is concerned, I think he's the Campbell Scott of 2012. Remember that guy? Exactly. Google him. You'll be doing the same thing to Channing in the near future. Enjoy the movie, though. <br /><br />Butters, valid points but I think you're putting the cart before the horse. Seems to me that a lot of these guys young and "old" are not even ready for a committed, serious relationship without camera present much less taking on a child. It's a TV show and I doubt this will spell forever happiness for Emily and, alas, for Little Ricki. Oh, the humanity.

As much as you love a person, it's a very serious undertaking and it can be scary. There's an already firmly established family culture, and you're essentially an outsider trying to fit in. These guys need to stop blowing sunshine up her bum and start asking some challenging questions of their own. And when they do, she needs to discuss these issues without being defensive and expecting blind devotion. Qustions like: How do you see me fitting into your family? What is my role with regard to Ricky? How will discipline be handled? How will you "have my back" if Ricky lashes out at my intrusion on your very exclusive club of two?Buttershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090084308920346417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462526990120254693.post-73865410247448940902012-06-15T09:19:15.738-05:002012-06-15T09:19:15.738-05:00Oh come on, Dallas isn't that bad.

Of course, finding a husband/father on a reality show is not the brightest idea to me. I think a lot of these guys come on the show just to get in the Bachelor family for the reunion hookups. <br /><br />My favorites are still Jef & Sean.

LOL!! and when she was telling jef how mad she was and how she was about to take her earrings out to give it to kalon! girlfriend has definitely been in a few fights if the first thing she's thinking about is taking out her earrings! <br /><br />and some guy, thanks for taking so much time with your posts! you seem to be a very busy man and your efforts are appreciated :-) good laughs as always.<br /><br />and for the record, i will definitely be going to see magic mike. alone. the day it opens.

Also, I don't see the Hendricks willingly allowing Ricki to move across the country. The family is very private and I'm not sure that they are enjoying this attention. Not only did they lose their son in the plane crash, but Mr. Hendrick lost his brother, 2 nieces and several friends. He has also battled leukemia. They are philanthropists and extremely kind to the city of Charlotte and surrounding areas. Emily's "job" as an event planner at the children's hospital is because of them. And it's not like she's showing up and stuffing envelopes. She probably picks out some flowers, points to where things should go and shows up in a pretty dress on event night. She has always been pretty low-key and demure when I see her at Starbucks or the pedi place. And she's a good, very-involved mom. Some of my friends' kids go to school with little Ricki. I would be shocked if she moved to another city.

Kalon was absolutely out of line with his name calling (which I don't think I heard him say verbatim--did they air that? but he didn't deny it when confronted....) but I have to wonder if he was that out of line with his thought process. Yes, he knew what he was getting into dating a single mother, but from where I sit, she's asking for complete and dedicated love and acceptance of her and the kid, a kid that none of them have even met! I am sure she is a wonderful child but I have to wonder if Mommy is even going to let the final 2 guys meet Ricki along with other members of her family, on the last few dates. What if the kid doesn't like the guy? Has anyone thought of that? Children have a mind of their own and usually don't hide their feelings. I'm single, no kids and although I am definitely open to dating someone with a child, I think that no-one, not even a parent, could deny that a non-parent dating someone who has kids is more complicated than a non-parent dating someone who has never had kids. They're not in the same place/understanding of the challenges of parenting. Is Kalon is the first guy to ever say "geez I had always imagined that when I had my first kid it would be my biological kid." ? That's a fair statement, I think 90% of the world probably imagines becoming a parent in the Beaver Cleaver way, it just doesn't work out perfectly all the time. I bet some of the other guys are thinking it, but had the foresight to keep it to themselves. Is Emily expecting a PROPOSAL at the end of this gig unrealistic? Is it even smart? Nice girl I hope it works out. I also hope he's really rich, those are some 'spensive Louboutins she's been sporting on her free clothes budget!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
