Totally agree, she is 24 come on

I think they were engaged as well. In this 2005 Nascar news article, Ricky's father says:
Hendrick said Ricky and Emily had known each other for years, had been engaged for about six months and planned to be married in December 2004.
Just because there is a ring doesn't mean he's 100% committed. Many guys cheat while they are engaged or realize they made a mistake. I don't know if that happened in this situation. I want to think it's not the case, but I did want to point out that just because she had a ring that doesn't necessarily equate to everything being peachy.
ETA: I adore Emily and also don't think she got pregnant on purpose. I just wanted to point out that a ring doesn't always mean something.

I hate when the cops throw me in the back of the squad car ....like they didn’t hear me call shotgun.
Boy (n) : Noise with dirt on it.
NO need to apologize in my book. Hyperventilating Fan-ism at this time of the Bachelor Lifecycle gets so dull -- saccharin-laced observations about the Happy Couple/Lucky Bride, over the top boosterism of the "heartbroken" rejectee, incredibly personal attacks, stalking and posting personal photos, including of non-contestants. Sometimes I think I would pay $1 per post that did not fall neatly into either one of those buckets. But then I just realize it's time for a nap or a jog.
At this point, The Royal We are hoping for the best (lifelong love), and We don't doubt Brad fell for Emily in an old-fashioned "smitten" sort of fashion, but We too see scads of risk factors and red flags.
Finding a spouse on the bachelor is the HARD way, not the EASY way. There's a reason they made it into a video game.
1. Get lucky that one of the pre-cast F6 is someone lead would date in real life
2. Make way through producer hijinks (back stabbing, hyping, misdirection)
3. Sort out the crazies (people who seem like a fit 1:1, but in real life are someone else or nuts or whatever)
4. Pick right one!
5. Endure 12-week Bizarro World 2.0 -- occasional meetings in safehouse, weekly airings of stuff Lead/F1 didn't know happened or which misrepresents what did happen, tabloids, interviews, secrecy (a secret is a very stressful burden)
6. START and sustain real world relationship -- transform crush/attraction into lasting love. Good luck. Most compatible couples (who didn't have the baggage of 1-5) fail to make it to the altar.
Vanity. A vice. I admit it. But once I say something once, I never forget it, so I dug this up. To be fair, Emily doesn't deserve the piling on either.

FORT BOARD at End of season = garment-tearing, teeth-nashing about stupidity of programming, evilness of producers, lack of basic moral character or desirability in the bachelor, negative comments about girls (let's get real: this board is often NASTY toward the girls once FAVORITES emerge -- with bickering about Deanna continuing to ... today), vows to NEVER WATCH AGAIN.
FORT BOARD prior to season premiere = everything is suddently NEW again. Ecstatic views of beauty of girls, how "fun" they are, the charm and handsomeness of the bachelor, the excitement of fantasy and other date destinations (Americana? OOOOOOOOH).
Now THAT's AMAZING.
I don't agree with you but you are certainly allowed your opinion. I see the connection. We are only seeing snipettes of the show. In the 2 hours we are seeing several days worth of shooting. SO much lands on the cutting room floor. Got to You Tube and search on Brad Womack and Emily Maynard and then look for the video you said it best.
Only time will tell about their relationship. There never is any guarantees on any relationship whether on the show or not. Only they are in control of their relationships destiny. They also know what their heart is feeling. If it lasts I am so glad. There needs to be more of this in the world. People are so quick to put down someone for almost no reason instead of embracing the moment.
