I thought it was telling when Ryan was already pitching himself to be the next Bachelor.... He knows how to look out for number one. Can we say "shallow" and egotistical and self-absorbed? I am so glad that she sees through him. I'm sure he'll be kicked to the curb eventually and he won't even realize why!

Please let it be Ryan who gets kicked to the curb next week! Please, please, please. The Bachelorette recap on ew.com says of Ryan, when he's talking to Michael about wanting to be The Bachelor: Augusta, "you may want to set your sights a little lower, pal -- I think your destiny as it relates to this franchise can be found under a wooden bunk bed on season three of Bachelor Pad." 
And she also noticed Jef's crazy knee socks. Who wears knee socks other than 10 year old girls, baseball players and those hunky Scottish guys with their kilts?

Personally, I don't find Arie particularly attractive. However, beginning with that very first kiss, and every one since, the physical chemistry between him and Emily, imo, is electric. I find myself almost blushing, and all they are doing is kissing.
Arie actually reminds at times of Ryan (as in Tristan and Ryan) in how protective he feels towards her, and he has that same sweet, gentle, in love look when he talks to and about her. I have no idea how this is all going to play out, but for now, I am kind of liking Arie for Emily.
I totally agree with Dogdoc. I wasn't going to watch as I thought Emily would be the most boring bachelorette ever. But, she is turning out to be one of my favorites.
Love that she is smart enough to see through Ryan's game. Good girl! She's way ahead of most of the Bachelors and Bachelorettes. I'm not sure how long it is going to take, but I am trusting that she will eventually boot him. (Hopefully, before Arie kicks his behind.)

I'm kind of sad that we didn't get to see much of Nate or Michael before she "kicked them out" ... I know they only have so much time .. but they could have had less of Ryan (we get it already!) .. so we could at least get to know Nate and Michael ..

I resisted the spoiler too. And agree -- I don't feel like I know anything about Nate or Michael. And I was sad to see Charlie go. Physically he wasn't my type, but he sure seemed like a nice guy.

Has anyone seen "Burning Love"? It's a web show that's a spoof of the bachelor. It's absolutely hilarious. The bachelor is a fireman and says "Will you accept my hose?" when he picks the girl. It's 7 minutes long, easier to endure than the 2 hours for the real show.

They are in London and the first 1on1 is with Sean. Emily asked him how many kids he'd like and he replied "I haven't given it much thought". He's adorable but I think a bit immature or giddy in love. Emily is hoarse. Jef gets the second 1on1 and the rest get a GD. They have act out scenes from Romeo and Juliet. Sean got the first rose on his date.

Romeo and Juliet was fun to watch. Arie had to dress up as a woman. Kalon was obnoxious. The rest of the guys had a good time. Doug also had to dress up as a woman. Emily and Arie are sneaking kisses. The guys on the GD are talking about Kalon saying Ricki was "baggage". Kalon does not deny it to the guys and said he meant "responsibility". Doug told Emily what Kalon said and she is furious.

Emily threw Kalon out on his butt. He couldn't deny what he said. Emily is pissed at all of the guys because no one told her sooner. She feels betrayed. I think Kalon said it to Jef and Arie. She doesn't give a rose on the GD, tells the guys how she feels and leaves the GD.

I kind of felt bad for the guys that Emily was so mad that they didn't tattle. We've watched season after season where someone tries to tattle on another contestant and the Bachelor/ette doesn't appreciate the tattle at all -- it ends up making the tattler look bad. I can't blame the guys at all for keeping quiet.

It seems that Ricki will always come first with Emily.
I agree with you Brenda, tattling can be a childish thing to do.
Emily is making this whole process about Ricki.
She said she wants more children soon so they will be close to Ricki's age, but it is too late for that.
Ricki is not baggage but she is a responsibility and she is the focus of Emily's life.
I don't see this turning out well. The men have to prove they can love Ricki.

I agree Dogdoc. It certainly didn't work out well for the women on Ben's season when they repeatedly warned him about Courtney. Jake was warned about Vienna, etc. etc.

yep, Ricky is already 6, so her siblings will be at least 7 years younger, probably closer to 8-10. 'Experts' say that kind of relationship is different than a sibiling that's closer in age,once you cross that 5 year mark it's a whole different dynamic. Emily wants more kids, and that's great, but using her child needing siblings as a reason is not a good one IMO. She's young and she has every right to want more kids just because!
I agree, I don't think any of these guys are going to measure up for her. She's putting a lot of pressure on them.

The daughter of a friend lost her husband in a work accident.
They had a 3 year old son when he died and she was 3 months pregnant.
I don't know if it is still true, but if she re-married she would lose the Social Security for the kids.
She never did marry the her boyfriend because of that.
I guess Emily and the in-laws are able to provide for Ricki.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought Emily was expecting too much from the guys. They did try to deal with it amongst themselves (i.e. they had her back). But, she didn't see that. I thought she came across as very needy during that segment when she had to 'talk' with all the guys about it. It could have been the editing, but she would say she was moving on, then she would still talk about it. It was not a quality that was very becoming.
I get the feeling like she's trying to 'act' in a lot of her conversations with the guys. It's just not all that convincing or real to me.

My hubby was watching with me and he agreed that guys don't "tattle" on other guys. Not that they would really consider it tattling, but they would just figure that's between the guy and the girl. I thought Doug was cutting his own throat by telling Emily what Kalon said. It usually doesn't go over well at all. It was unfair of Emily to be mad at the guys for not telling her. The only one she should have been mad at was Kalon, who wasn't much of a loss anyway ("I'd love to hear what you have to say after I'm done talking." Really???!!! I would have booted him for that alone.)
