*Spoilers* 2/28 The Bachelor: Episode 9

[REIDISCOOL]

Notice he turned his head away as they embraced to avoid the kiss!

[RichLP]

Ha! Brad's 'in the bush'... sorry, I have a dirty mind.

Fantasy suite's already?...

[cupcakes]

Emily is one in a million

Emily makes me a better person

Brad comment about his F1 during his teleconference: "I've always wanted to wind up with somebody that is just genuinely sweet and that is just as much of a friend as anything else and so I found that and you know it's someone that makes me want me to be a better person....but just genuinely sweet and very much a friend and I found that."

Um, if I was Chantal, I would be SOOOO happy he didn't send me home to protect me/because I asked him to if he wasn't feelin' it right about now. This is TOO cool. Experience of a LIFETIME.

[ButterflyFaery]

Because he was told to - if in fact she's the safe F1 and he still isn't sure if Emily is totally interested in him and able to love him back, he had to have a back-up- stinks for Chantal!

I just can't buy that Brad did something because Fleiss told him too..nope..nada..he's already proven that he follows his own path..he doesn't let others make choices for him

[Alanna]

This date is ridiculously cool!

[mnmhughes]

There's the real-life action of that picture we analyzed so many times!

[REIDISCOOL]

OOH WE GET TO SEE THE MYSTERY ANIMAL ---- A HIPPO and we thought it was a cat
ETA and I think someone else thought it was a cow.

[mnmhughes]

Don't put your faith in him, Chantal! You'd be safer back with those lions.

[Alanna]

Chantal, Brad could not keep you safe in this situation. This is a 2000lb hippo.

Brad LOVES Daddy O. Too bad he wasn't a contestant. Poor Em would have been F2 all the way.
