    Emily as 'Bachelorette?' Shawntel Nods in Approval

    Emily as 'Bachelorette?' Shawntel Nods in Approval

    Before stealing Ben Flajnik away from a perturbed Elyse on Monday's episode of The Bachelor, Shawntel Newton was sister girlfriends with Emily Maynard during Brad Womack's second stint at the title. Though unconfirmed by ABC, rumors surfaced earlier this week that Emily would assume the role of The Bachelorette in the upcoming season.

    Who better to comment on this speculation than a gal who lived in the mansion with her? Shawntel said that Emily appeals to viewers and is "a great person." However, she's worried that Emily would once again struggle with parting from her young daughter for an extended period of time for filming.

    'The Bachelor''s Shawntel Newton: 'Brad Scares Easily'

    There are also murmurs around cyberspace that villain Bentley Williams would be interested in pursuing Emily's affection. "That would be even more drama than me coming back for Ben," Shawntel laughed.

    Speaking of curveball appearances, when Shawntel showed up at the cocktail party unannounced, she was not well embraced by the other women vying for Ben's heart. Chris Harrison warned her she'd be walking straight "into the lion's den" upon her arrival in San Francisco, but nothing could prepare her for the way she was treated. "I felt like the kid on the playground that everyone picks on," she said metaphorically. "It was right out of the movie Mean Girls."

    Feeling deserving of an apology, Shawntel hopes the women retract their "unladylike" comments at the Women Tell All taping. If they stand by their original statements, "I would probably walk out," she said.

    Shawntel was not the only beautiful brunette to develop feelings for Ben by watching him on The Bachelorette. Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt reached out to the winemaker and visited him in Sonoma, CA. "I heard a couple of girls say, 'Please don't tell me that's Jennifer Love Hewitt walking in right now,'" Shawntel remembered of her entrance.

    She arrived a little too late. Ben was already "head over heals" for Courtney and the model's 'ultimatum" of leaving if Shawntel was given a rose, "influenced" Ben to send Shawntel home. "I think he chooses her in the end," the funeral director predicted.

    Back in the dating pool, Shawntel is looking for a "man that is going to set fair aside" in pursuit of love. If Ben winds up single when The Bachelor is done, she "wouldn't be interested" in giving him another chance.

      Head over heals? Proofreader....

        I think the wrier intended the spelling/meaning to be heals, get it?

        That's a stretch. I don't even get what I'm supposed to "get." Looks like a typo to me.

      Personally, I think it's a joke. Why would they choose Emily? I'm not sure how true her intentions were the last time so what makes you think it will be any different this time? I stopped watching this show a long time ago b/c it's entirely too predictable with the same outcome. A bunch of lunatics with too much time on their hands and all they really want is their 5 minutes of fame to be called a "reality star". Nobody is in it to genuinely fine love. We all know the final couple will eventually break up so why invest any time into watching??

      Who cares what Shawntel thinks?! I do agree that Emily will probably have issues "again" with her daughter and making any decisions. If Bently comes on I am not watching!
      • john 4 months ago
        If Bently came back he would be sent home the first night!

      Shawntel maybe right about Courtney winning, I have read on spoilers that she is Ben's choice, Courtney has been linked to many Hollywood guys so I believe she is in this for the glamour and hype. They are engaged but I wonder how long that will last after he watches the show now and see what kind of person Courtney really is.

      Courtney is in serious need of dental work. That overbite is so annoying.
      • Sassy 4 months ago
        LMAO...........she is annoying..........PERIOD!

        A personality overhaul would be much more beneficial.
      • Sandy 4 months ago
        I can't tell it's an overbite it looks like a huge upper lip hanging down from a bad lip injection,..it's really ugly,..what does he see in her?
    • Milly  •  4 months ago
      I am glad Ben didn't give Shawntel a rose. That blonde that he let go, can't remember her name, well that made my day. I could not stand her. I felt bad for the one who nearly fainted because I liked her. Now he needs to get rid of the two #$%$ in the house, Whitless and Courtney the Conceited. Have you noticed Courtney always makes funny faces with her mouth, it just looks weird. I hate Courtney the most.
      • Milly 4 months ago
        Oops the one girl's name is not Whitley (Whitless), it is Blakeley.
      • jj fan 4 months ago
        Courtney is the one he picks. Read Reality Steve. I can't stand her either!
      • Sandy 4 months ago
        Anyone who has a panic attack and passes out, requiring medical attention, because she thinks the boyfriend she shares with 12 other women *might* dump her... seriously, girl. Get some counseling!
    • Lynnette  •  4 months ago
      Emily shouldn't have won during her season and she certainly shouldn't be the next Bachelorette. I've already given up on this season (Ben is boring) and I won't ever bother watching again if they choose Emily.
    • i poop on carpet  •  4 months ago
      I say take all this crap off the air & replace them with some good sit-coms :-)
      • john 4 months ago
        There are good(new) sitcoms?
      • Kat 4 months ago
        I totally agree, who cares about this stuff, It's all scripted anyway. People have enough of their own problems, they want to escape for awhile
    • kat  •  Augusta, Georgia  •  4 months ago
      I don't like when they use past losers to be the next whichever, but to go with Emily who was chosen and it didn't work is soooooooooo wrong.

      We already saw one bachelor, Jake Pavelka, choose with his body, not his head when he chose Vienna, an obvious loose cannon. I sure hope Ben does NOT choose Courtney, as she wants to "win" and has already said to him that she wants children, but first engagement, marriage, TRAVEL, and LATER kids. She is not finished having a model's life yet. She is no way ready to settle in San Francisco with a Sonoma wine owner who wants a wife to come home to share everything with, and a family soon. She won't be waiting at home for him very often with a modeling career. And........for her to actually give the bachelor an ULTIMATUM at the Rose Ceremony as she received her rose, shows the height of her confidence in her very short relationship with Ben. I give him credit, so far, for being able to determine what his father would do in choosing a mate, but there was the scene where she sat back and let him salivate over her "beauty" when they were alone and he held her in his arms and she flipped her hair back and looked away. She is stuck on herself, not confident, arrogant. Here's hoping Ben, who has everything to offer a beautiful relationship and marriage, doesn't make his choice based on his strictly physical attraction to her. She is an empty vessel, beautiful on the outside, and Kasey (the one on his date in Sonoma) or Lindsey, would be the whole package. I will be very disappointed if he winds up with Courtney. Besides, she has a funny mouth...nothing sexy about that.

      This show, like most of the reality shows, is old, tired and needs to go away.

      First of all I think it was #$%$ that they let Shawntel do that in the first place!!! WOW, you guys are idiot's!!! A bunch of emotional women, in the first place, and then to put the pressure on poor Ben like that...... I honestly don't think that Emily is mature enough or mentally capable of being a Bachelorette. She couldn't handle one guy's affection, WinTH makes anyone think she can handle 25 of them??? AND , if they bring that evil, coniving, egotistical, self-centered, self-serving, UGLY PIG of a JACKA$$, BENTLEY back to ANY other Bachelorette I WILL NOT EVER watch anymore Bachelor or Bachelorette seasons. I think I am not the only woman, in the viewing pool of mostly women, to do so!!!! It's becoming too full of #$%$ anyway with just the format of the show that they are presenting now. Really, who pick's these women? Do you just throw a few loo-loo's in their to make a 'dramatic' affect, if so, it's STUPID! This show has gone downhill and has been going that way for a few season's now. It will be in the $h#$%$ before too long.

      Let's be honest, if this clown Ben walked up to a girl in a bar they'd laugh at him. Yet he gets on TV and "suddenly" every hot girl in America is smitten with him?? Honestly, this dude isn't even remotely good looking.

      24 seasons later and still hardly any diversity.
    • Susie B  •  Columbus, Ohio  •  4 months ago
      The rehasing of prior bachelors and bachelorettes is really causing me to loose interest in this show. Makes it much less believable, that anyone is actually there for potential love, instead of a chance to be on TV and 15 minutes of fame
    • Luxtre  •  New York, New York  •  4 months ago
      All a bunch of #$%$ chasing some guy who hasn't come out of the closet yet.

      Bad move, She's a "F@#$N' IDIOT!
    • TwilightMom84  •  4 months ago
      Why don't they have Emily's daughter with her while she's filming? She can have a family member come with her to help take care of her daughter and a tutor to help if it's during school (I don't remember the months the show is filmed in). That way she can be with her daughter at night and whenever she's not out on a date. I'm sure they could make it work if they really tried.
