The drama is about to explode on ‘The Bachelorette’

We’ve all been hearing  the rumors since day that ‘Bachelorette’ frontrunner Arie Luyendyk, Jr. once dated a ‘Bachelorette’ producer. Well, we now know that this is indeed fact!

Last week, the drama on ‘The Bachelorette’ was that Emily finally kicked off smooth talking, womanizing pretty boy Ryan.  He tried to talk her out of not giving him the final rose on their on-on-one-date, but although great editing made you think she was going to keep him, Emily left Ryan without a rose & invitation to carry on. It seems this time around, Emily is trying not to make the same mistake she made with Brad. She fell for the pretty boy on the ‘Bachelor’, but in the end he wasn’t right for her or her daughter Ricki. 

Just when you thought Ryan leaving & the way he was booted was enough drama for one ‘Bachelorette’ episode, we get a sneak preview of next week.  We see Emily practically in tears, saying to the camera basically that she can’t believe he kept this information from her. She even alludes to the fact that this person (I’m guessing the ‘Bachelor/ette’ producer that Arie Jr supposedly dated a while back) is still in the picture as far as working on the show & that Emily has even hung out with her & possibly she & Arie Jr have hung out with her together. Another recent preview shows Emily going on a one on one date with Arie Jr on next week’s episode in Prague, now knowing the whole truth & wondering when Arie will reveal the big secret.

Unfortunately, I believe this secret that Arie keeps from Emily is a dealbreaker for her. The trust becomes broken. Others maybe not in the lead, will probably now surpass Arie Jr.

***Spoiler Alert****

Usually by now, Reality Steve )www.realitysteve.com) knows who gets the final rose. Funny enough, he has not revealed this yet. Either he really doesn’t know or the recent lawsuit by ABC against him has kept him mum. Here’s what Reality Steve does know.  Next week Doug gets eliminated. The Final Four hometown dates go to: Chris, Sean, Arie & Jef.  I’m a Chicago girl & am excited to see my hometown on display when Chris shows off ChiTown. However, unfortunately Chris doesn’t make it to the end.

Reality Steve says the Final 3 are Arie, Jef & Sean . The Final Rose ceremony was already been filmed on May 10. So,it’s anybody’s guess who wins. Who’s team  are you on? Team Arie, Team Jef or Team Sean? Believe it or not, they all 3 have T’s you can buy! Team Aries’ site is www.team-arie.com.  Follow all 3 & try to uncover some clues : @ariejr, @jefholm & @seanlowe58

The big reveal airs tomorrow on ‘The Bachelorette’ on ABC at 8:00 PM PT.  Catch the whole season of ‘Bachelorette’ here: http://abc.go.com/shows/the-bachelorette

Adventure awaits as Spike TV’s new unscripted series ‘Diamond Divers’ premieres on June 20

Billions of dollars worth of diamonds lie undiscovered at the bottom of the ocean waiting to be found by those whose lives would be changed overnight by becoming instant millionaires. Now for the first time ever, in the original unscripted TV series ‘Diamond Divers’ premiering Wednesday on Spike TV at 10:00 PM PT, we get to go on this brave & very risky voyage, rarely seen by ordinary folks, with Captain John & his crew, as they trek across the country to the infamous Skeleton Coast off the dangerous coast of South Africa in search of rare diamonds.

I recently had the chance to talk to fearless Captain John about his adventures as a diamond diver. When asked if he ever felt his life was in danger while on this 30 day expedition he replied, “Always. That’s the nature of going to sea. You have to do your best with every challenge that the ocean throws at you & that the boat throws at you to come home alive. You’re always respectful of mother nature.”

Even though the payoff is huge, diamond diving isn’t for everyone. Captain John brought with him the needed skill set & experienced crew to tackle the job at hand due to his background with his own rescue & salvage company out of Cornet Bay, Washington, ‘Marine Services & Assist’ (www.vessel-assist-nw.com).  “The skill set we brought to the table was exactly what was required. Keeping the machinery alive, not killing each other while trapped together for hundreds of hours, the maintenance & safety of the crew. It’s what we do on a daily basis in our business.’

As to what diamonds were found, if any, we’ll all have to watch the 6 one hour episodes  to find out. Captain John assured me that he & his crew were rewarded in so many ways, not just financially. He also promises viewers that the “scenery & the adventure was pretty spectacular. “ He also feels viewers ‘will have a new appreciation of the challenges of the ocean.’ On ‘Diamond Divers,’ we get to see a part of the world not many of ever get to see in our real lives & for most of us, our day jobs don’t even come close to diamond diving.

Delve into the depths of the ocean with Captain John & his ‘Diamond Divers’ crew on Spike TV premiering Wednesday June 20 at 10:00 PM PT & every Wednesday.
