Media Stories on Bachelor 8 and 9

[W.I.Z.]

Well, at least it's fun to speculate and sleuth on this. As much of a romantic as I am, I kind of like the mystery of this situation.

And people appearing not to be together doesn't mean too much to me anymore since a certain couple was "not a couple" until one half of the couple was showing.

I think all we can glean from this is that
Jenn & Sadie are friends and Sadie & Lorz are friends
Sadie interviewed for a job in NY and saw Lorz
Sadie ran into Jenn in LA after the show (the day/week/month after???)
Sadie ran into Lorz in LA after the show
Sadie is a gutsy lady who has moved on and is taking some exciting chances with her life.

Sounds healthy and happy to me

Sadie Murray is a Happily Unmarried Lady

In Reality TV News, The Bachelor
Written by

CARLSBAD CA – Many of us will take time in January to examine the pluses and minuses of the past year. For Sadie Murray, the experience of appearing on last season’s reality television series, “The Bachelor: Rome” offered extremes of both.

Pluses included romance with a real prince, and receiving a slew of red long-stemmed roses, each signifying acceptance into the next round.

There was the heady rush of appearing on television, where Murray’s Carlsbad family and friends could tune in weekly to see her and 24 other contestants compete for one man.

Then there was that last show letdown by bachelor Prince Lorenzo Borghese: “The truth is that there is another woman here, and at this point, I’d rather be with her.”

It was the kind of remark that could have prompted a tantrum or a kick in the pants. Under the camera’s watchful eye, Murray took the news with a tearful smile and made a poised exit.

“It was a shock, honestly,” Murray said in a recent phone interview from New York, where she was interviewing for a position with a publicity firm.

“I decided in that moment that I would be selfless. I wanted him to be happy and if that was the decision, who am I to stand in the way of that? I was concerned because he was so upset at seeing me cry.”

The prince shed a few tears, too, before handing a ring and the rose to Jennifer Wilson, a 24-year-old teacher from Florida. He explained the ring didn’t signify a marriage proposal, though he had asked the fathers of both finalists for their daughter’s hand in marriage. The ring was a token of his intent to get to know her better.

After the show, Sadie bumped into Borghese and Wilson separately, in Los Angeles. Borghese, 34, is a cosmetics entrepreneur in Manhattan.

“I remain friends with Jen; she’s a doll and we get along well,” Murray said. “We have a bond unlike any two other friends on this earth. We were on a reality TV show together, competing for a guy. It’s too funny.

“It was great talking to Lorenzo, too. We ran into each other at a club and exchanged numbers. I think we’ll remain friends.”

Murray attended Santa Fe Christian Schools in Solana Beach for 13 years before graduating from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s degree in communications.

She found out about “The Bachelor” series through her public relations job in Los Angeles.

“The bachelorettes get gift bags and things like that,” Murray said. “When I got the e-mail, I thought it would be fun and auditioned for it.”

The fun included a trip to Italy for Murray and her parents, and a romantic date on Moonlight Beach in Encinitas when Murray brought the prince home to meet Mom and Dad.
A dozen members of the film crew set up camp in the family’s Carlsbad home. “We had Mexican food,” said her mom, Colleen Murray. “We wanted to represent our area – fun and California casual. I wasn’t nervous at all and we had missed Sadie so much. It was six to eight weeks without her.”

The show’s camera crew tracked all the contestants for weeks, filming everything from catty remarks and kisses to the girl who drunkenly mistook the prince for a waiter.

“They tape everything all the time and you are always on camera,” Murray said.

“They have the right to do what they want in order to make it as entertaining as possible. No one wants to see someone brushing their teeth.”

During filming, Murray, 23, confessed that she intended to save herself for marriage. She was immediately labeled “the virgin” on many Web sites for reality television viewers.

“I really wasn’t prepared for the amount of light that was shown on that,” Murray said. “But you have to be comfortable with your own boundaries and to really own them.”

Though she wasn’t chosen, Murray did walk away with the stunning cream-colored gown she wore on the last show and a newfound sense of independence.

“It was an experience that ushered me into a new sense of self,” she said. “I became independent emotionally, and that needs to happen to everybody at some point.” Murray said she wants to stay single and would like to move to New York. She said she’s a little scared, but that’s just a sign to move forward because “when you are comfortable, you don’t really grow.”

Her parents are behind her all the way. “We were bursting with pride,” said Colleen Murray. “She carried herself with grace and class. That in itself was a happy ending.”

How the heck do you find this stuff, Bright???....

When I realized that Sadie was no longer listed as a publicist at Kip Morrison's, I started yahooing and googling like mad, but came up with nothing......Guess, I'm a sorry excuse for a sleuther!

You could certainly be right. It is just hard for me to buy into this because as much as I REALLY liked Sadie as a person, I just couldn't put her with Lorz, or perhaps it is he with her I cannot see.
So I derive much more pleasure from hearing this delightful young woman is happy and moving in exciting directions than I would hearing that she and Lorz were an item - as many others are hoping.

It was posted on another board, so I shared it with the different boards I'm on that it hadn't been posted to.

After Colleen "let the cat out of the bag" about seeing Lorenzo with Sadie in NY, Skip posted that he had dinner with her. So it sounds like Lorenzo was with her more than once.It could have been as friends. Does seem like by now
the press would have caught them together.

That is the way that I see it too Jelle. I am going to take Sadie at her word in this interview and believe that she is friends with Lorenzo.

Thank you for posting the article Brightcryptic!

Yes, but did she say JUST friends? I don't think this "friends" statement means that they aren't dating nor that they are dating. It could be either, imo. After all, if Sadie were to say that she was DATING Lorenzo she would also be saying that Jen and Lorenzo were no longer a couple, which would be more complicated. So, it tells us nothing. I still find it very interesting that Sadie is contemplating moving to New York, a HUGE move. I'm staying tuned.

I wonder when Lorenzo will make an announcement that he and Jen aren't together? He's probably not with Sadie either but I imagine they all want to go on with their lives.
