We new Emily was smart. But after reading what she had to say as a result of not receiving a rose at last week’s rose ceremony in Belize, my respect for her has gone to a whole new level. She validates what we have been speculating for the past several weeks. That yes, it’s not just us that thinks it was disrespectful to the other women for Ben to get that intimate with Courtney so early on in the process. That yes, this actually diminishes our respect for Ben. That yes, Ben was looking for a great hook up and was clouded by the idea of being with “the model.”
In UsMagazine.com’s article discussing this week’s conference call with Emily, my two favorite quotes were this:
On the skinny dipping incident:
Emily: “I just wish he had been a little bit more respectful of us and taken a second to think, ‘Hey, maybe this will keep my mind clear and help me to make the decision I need to make to get to the point where I need to be, which is looking for a life partner, not someone to hook up with.'”
On her opinion of Ben since watching this season:
Emily: “My respect for Ben has gone down, certainly, since the show has aired and since I’ve gotten some perspective on things. I’ve had some people say that I’ve dodged a bullet. I’ve had others say that I dodged a locomotive with a nuclear bomb strapped to it.”
All in all, I was happy to see that Emily fully realizes that she’s too good for Ben. I think she’d make a wonderful Bachelorette. She’s got beauty and brains.

Emily is definitely too good for him. At this point I'm convinced he will end up choosing Courtney. I don't think he went in the Bachelor with an honest desire to find his future wife. I think he's just there to market his wine business.

Emily is great! I agree, she'd be a great Bachelorette! I imagine she is pretty relieved that she got sent home before hometowns.

Lucky for her to get away from him. His judgement is very clouded. Courtney really is a black widow. I may not watch anymore this season.

This is all for entertainment…obviously means very little since these couples never make it to the alter. The sleezer the girl …the better for these guys.

Ben pretty much looks like a caveman. He and Courtney are perfect for each other and he doesn't deserve the other women.

Courtney does not seem sincere..especially from her past comments about the other girls.

I am sad and disappointed that ABC is letting this continue. I have been watching this show since it's origin. There have surely been bad episodes during The Bachelor's run but this season is a wash. The girls are all too smart for the cave man,wine guy,boring Beatle haircut dude gone Sir Lancerlot.
