So, I love to watch The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I have been watching The Bachelor since season 9 (Prince Lorenzo Borghese). The Bachelor finished their 16th season (Ben Flajnik) in February 2012.
I have been watching The Bachelorette since season 4 (DeAnna Pappas). Tonight, May 14,2012, is the premeire of The Bachelorette season 8 (Emily Maynard).
Here is a tiny bit of background about Emily Maynard is a 24 year old single mother of a 5 year old daughter named Riki. Emily lives in Morgantown, West Virginia. She was engaged to Ricky Hendrick, a NASCAR car driving in 2004, when he was killed in a plane crash in October 2004. Emily was only 19 at the time of the crash. Emily found out that she was pregant the day after Ricky's funneral.
Emily gave birth to a healthy baby girl on January 29,2005. Emily decided to name their daughter Josephine Riddick “Ricki” Hendrick in memory of the father she will never know.
This season of The Bachelorette will start off in Emily's hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina insted of Los Angeles because Emily wants to be able to be close to her daughter.

I am so excited about this season but I haven't started it yet so I'm not going to read your other posts about the epsiodes until after! Did you like that Emily ended up with Brad last season? I really liked them together but I guess it wasn't meant to be if she's the new bachelorette this season lol...
ReplyDeleteI love that Emily is the bachelorette this season. I liked her during Brad's season, and hoped she would win but now, as I think about it, I don't think they would make a cute couple. I watched Brad's 1st season where he didn't pick either girl. I hope Emily ends up with a great guy. I don't have any favs yet, but I guess there has only been 2 weeks, I still have time to pick out my favs. I say you should start to watch this season if you liked Emily.
