We started with three boys at the beginning of the episode...but it ended with only two left for Emily to choose between. This week we were in Curacao, which looks absolutely beautiful - but basically like any other island area. I love Emily's blue maxi dress at the beginning of the episode, but I hate how long the re-caps of each relationship are at the beginning. There really was a lot of fluff filler time in this episode. And by the way...how corny is it that Emily wrote "Emily + ?" in the sand...
Anyways, her first date was with Sean. I love that Sean is wearing pinkish colored shorts in the first part of the date and then baby blue shorts at the dinner time part of the date. Emily is saying in her interviews how Sean is the only one who has not said "I love you" yet and how that concerns her. The two of them get in a helicopter to head to a private island -- is this the first helicopter ride of the season??? I don't remember any others and there are usually a ton on this show. Their conversation sitting on the beach seems really awkward and Emily seems to be getting kind of tough on Sean. She feels like she needs to know more about him. Emily says that his family told her last week that Sean was more like buddies with his past girlfriends - which seems to be a red flag for Emily. Sean says that his past girlfriend used to bring marriage up all the time but that he would deviate in the conversation to get away from that topic - probably another red flag for Emily. His sister also told Emily that Sean doesn't like to get girls attached - and another red flag for Emily. The thing is, I think Sean just had one long term girlfriend that he stayed with because it was comfortable and he didn't want to hurt her - so all of these comments are about that one relationship. That doesn't necessarily mean that he will be like that with Emily and he hasn't acted that way with Emily at all - but I can understand why these thoughts would concern Emily.
Then comes their dinner date on the beach. Now Emily is super complimentary of Sean and sweet and not tough on him at all. She is just saying all these things that she feels about him, but she tells him that she doesn't really know how he feels -- she is being so obvious -- just tell her you love her Sean! He starts telling her some things like how she shouldn't worry about their lives fitting together and then he pulls out a letter that he wrote to Emily's daughter, Ricky. Emily LOVES when a boy writes something and reads it to her (Ryan, Jef, now Sean). Emily says that he is everything that anyone would look for in a husband, not just her -- is this her way of saying that he will find someone else? Sean FINALLY tells her that he has fallen in love with her after the longest lead-up and being super nervous. Emily then tells the cameras that all her questions were answered tonight and that she thinks Sean is totally ready to be a dad and be married. Wait, was the only question whether he loved her?
Then finally they get the fantasy suite invite and key. Sean says he would love to have the time to just talk with her and hang out with her all night. They go to the fantasy suite. We see them make out in the hot tub -- which may be the first time this has happened all season with any guy - usually we have make out hot tub scenes throughout the season on this show. Emily then decides to not spend the night with Sean and she sends him back to his room. She says she's a mom and spending the night with him doesn't line up with what she believes in and the example she wants to set. Good for her! Sean leaves feeling super confident that he is going to marry Emily.
Next up is Jef. Emily tells him that they are going on a boat ride just the two of them -- umm...I am pretty sure it is not just the two of them. There is probably someone driving the boat. Then there are the multiple camera men. Honestly, I don't know how they all fit on this boat. It is super windy while they are on the boat and the sound is kind of annoying. Jef tells Emily how he can't wait to meet her parents - that he loves parents and loves hanging out with parents. To which Emily replies - hey I'm a parent! She is just too corny sometimes, but maybe that is why her and Jef go well together. Jef really wants to meet Ricky and make sure they all fit well together and that it will work. Jef thinks the two of them have a better balance than any other two people.
At dinner time, Emily is just glowing like she usually is around Jef. Jef has a lot of questions for her, which I like. He asks her where she wants to live if they end up together. She says her ideal would be to move somewhere totally new for both of them and just start a new life, but that she is open to moving where he is. He asks her why it hasn't worked for her and other guys in the past. She says she has dated a lot of really great guys on paper, but there hasn't been that "unspoken thing" so she knew it would never work. Jef says he has never been able to see the end goal with any girl he has dated until dating Emily (maybe that is because there is an end goal in a show like this). He finally asks her whether she thinks he is a good fit for Ricky as a dad. Emily tells him that when she was home with Ricky for a couple days in between things, he was the one she pictured fitting in with them.
The fantasy suite card is pulled out. Jef says he thinks it would be awesome to spend time in the fantasy suite together, but he understands and respects that both of their families will be watching and that they are involved in the process too and there is a time and a place for something like that and he plans to spend every night with her in their own fantasy suite (last part is cute). Emily loves that he responded that way. Emily says they will hang out there for a bit (meaning make out) but not spend the whole night. At the end of the night Jef tells the cameras that it is time to "bridle these passions" and he leaves feeling super confident.
Finally comes Arie. All these two do is kiss and make out - and they know it! Arie even says, "It's hard to even talk because we always want to kiss each other and it feels great." Emily says, "It's no secret that I just love kissing Arie." The two of them go swimming with the dolphins which seems to totally scare and freak Emily out which is funny. At dinner, Emily says she wants to find out if there is more to their connection from just chemistry. She says, "I feel really close to you, but I don't know what you do on a Tuesday morning." He talks about how he hates being alone, and since he lives alone all he does is go out and eat every meal out with friends - basically is the typical bachelor guy. He asks her about where they would live and again she responds that she would live wherever he was. He asks her what she expects out of a father. She says she wants someone to love Ricky like she was his own child. He thinks it would have to be a slow going relationship where he would start out as a friend and then move forward from there with no rush - just easy, fun, and lighthearted. This seemed to make a lot of sense to Emily. And it does make sense to move slow, but at the same time, I can see that Arie would never be the one to discipline Ricky and he would always be the "fun" guy - which probably would not be fun for Emily in the end.
Emily decides to not give Arie the fantasy suite card because she doesn't trust herself to say no to spending the night with him. Oh my word! Seriously. I think that is kind of a bad sign if being with him would make her go against her morals. And if he really knew her (like I think Jef does) then he wouldn't let her anyways. But that is just my two sense. All there relationship is is kissing - it is all they do and I am surprised they even sat at the table for dinner the entire time.
Emily is a complete mess at the rose ceremony. She is crying up a storm. She doesn't want to hurt anyone. She didn't know it would be this hard. BLAH BLAH BLAH. This whole turmoil she is feeling just proves my theory that there is not just one guy made for one girl. We are all compatible with numerous people - which is why she should not be surprised that she is falling for multiple people. This is one reason why this show - as much as I love watching it - is crazy because this person falls for multiple people and its not like those feelings will just go away for the other people as soon as the show is over. It just kind of sets the couple up for disaster in most cases.
Anyways, she sees some video messages from the guys - nothing special. Then she gives out the roses. First goes to Jef. Second goes to Arie. Sean is the one being sent home unfortunately. Sean and Emily go sit on a bench in silence and Emily is just crying and sniffling and Sean is silent. Most awkward moment ever. Emily asks him what he is feeling -- SERIOUSLY??? That is probably the worst question ever. He is feeling awful right now. You just broke up with him. He thought he was going to marry you. I know Emily feels bad, but asking him how he feels is probably not the best thing right then. I feel super bad for Sean when he tells us in the limo ride how he has just been picturing their lives together all week since their date. That is such a hard part because you have this great date and then all you can do is think about that. I mean, as a girl, we overanalyze everything and create stories in our minds of how great dates are and how the guy feels about us and all that. So I guess Sean had been doing that too. Poor guy...
So now I am on team Jef because they actually have a relationship built on more than kissing.
