'Bachelorette' Recap: Emily's Shocking Behavior Leaves Us Confused & Frustrated

OMG. Can someone please explain to me how in the hell Emily Maynard managed to make it through the Curacao fantasy suite episode of The Bachelorette without actually spending the night (not to mention indulging in all sorts of fun fantasies) in one of the suites with any of the remaining dudes? Good GRIEF -- that girl has some serious self control!
I won't lie -- I highly doubt I'd be able to hold back if I was in her position, especially considering how amazing Sean, Jef, and Arie all are. I mean, I know she's a mom and all, but it took some crazy restraint on her part tonight to be able to resist the temptation of having a few camera-free hours to spend with her final three men. (Am I the only one who needs a cold shower right now?)
And all I can do is applaud her for sticking to her guns and setting an incredible example for her daughter, Ricki. Emily is a well behaved lady in every sense of the word, and it was even more evident after seeing how emotional she was when it came time to choose which one of the guys she was going to let go.
All of her one-on-one dates were incredible, and honestly, it's obvious that she has a strong connection with all these men. Sean Lowe is the epitome of the word "sweetheart," plus he's incredibly good looking, loyal, and really seems to have a genuine desire to be a devoted husband to Emily and a father to Ricki.
And then there's Jef Holm. Holy moly. Don't even get me started on how completely amazeballs Jef is -- because my husband will probably divorce me if I don't shut up about him soon. He's everything every woman dreams of -- funny, smart, successful, and exactly the right amount of dreamy & romantic without being cheesy. (But if he ever said the words "bridle these passions" to me, I'd have to take charge and do everything in my power to convince him to let his morals go for the night.)
And that brings us to Arie Luyendyk, who is so incredibly hot and appears to know how to make out better than any suitor in Bachelorette history. (That's all I've got to say about him.)
Of course, one dude DID have to leave tonight, and of course, it wound up being Sean. (Duh.) He's perfect in every sense of the word, but it's just so obvious that Emily's chemistry is 100 times better with Jef and Arie. But I have to admit, I kind of wanted to throw up after Sean got in the car & drove off. When he said his first thought upon seeing Emily at the rose ceremony was that she was his future wife? I really, really felt for him in that moment. (Don't worry Sean, because there are millions of women across America ready & willing to mend your broken heart.)
And then there were two -- Arie and Jef. Who do you think Emily Maynard will pick on the final episode?

I don't know how she can pick anyone else but Arie with their Chemistry!!!!!

I've read spoilers and know who she picks, but that aside. I thought she should've picked Sean in the end. Jef is ok and Arie, he's just a player, in my opinion, of course.

Arie if they can get past all the publicity

i can't take it any longer! This show, this premise is so freaked up! Please just stop and think for one second about this! You agree to go on television and be part of a herd of guys/girls that are striving for the attention of one person, and usually the one person is a former member of the "herd" that got close but didn't get picked. I mean for the final 6-7 guys/girls how freaking humilating and sad is it that you are bascially allowing yourself to be auditioned by someone who was on the other side not long ago. I mean I'm very open minded and not a jealous person, but if one has any self-doubt it must drive them crazy when the "chooser" is with other members of the herd, and really do you want someone to choose you that got to sample the entire buffet? How do you not in 6 weeks, 6 months, forever not think "is he/she tired of me and now needs to have another herd experience?" It is grand entertainment, but it is a totally screwed up process, that not only affects the dumbasses who are in the herd, but also their families and friends.

I thought for sure she was going to send Arie home....surprised it was Sean. Maybe chose the way she did cause she already knows who she is picking.

I agree that possibly Arie and Jef are in it for some publication. Sean was the only one not in some kind of a job that needed publicity from what I have read. Yes, Arie is super sexy with those kisses but that seems like all that he has her hooked by. Now, Jef, with his right words and family and attitude goes a long way in my book. Hopefully she is sexually attracted to him like she is with Arie. I don't know who she is going to pick. She may go back to Sean, who knows! Very emotional show this year. Good luck to all!
