Bachelorette Emily Maynard Faces Rejected Suitors, Confronts Kalon on Men Tell All

Truth rating: 10

RECAP

(ABC)

Monday’s “The Bachelorette: Men Tell All” special brought back some of the season’s most beloved – and hated – contestants.

More than a dozen of Emily Maynard’s former suitors gathered to reflect on the show and reminisce over never-before-seen footage.

But the show wasn’t without any drama.

Chris, who was dramatically eliminated after the hometown dates, pointed out that Ryan, who referred to Maynard as a would-be “trophy wife,” was “there for the wrong reasons,” with the other men agreeing that his confidence bordered on cockiness.

Ryan explained, “When you’re in a setting like this with 25 guys coming in and one female, that search… for your own territory is tough.”

“I was looking for my wife,” he insisted.

Maynard, however, called Ryan out for being a “sweet-talker,” noting he was “good at going around questions.”

Complaints of arrogance were also lodged at Kalon, who arrived in the first episode via helicopter.

“You were just there for the spotlight,” Stevie told the upcoming “Bachelor Pad 3″ contestant.

Kalon attempted to defend his behavior, claiming he wasn’t in his “environment” and insisting that not all of his controversial comments were indeed “offensive.”

But perhaps the most interesting moment came when he attempted to apologize for calling Maynard’s daughter Ricki “baggage” (prompting her to memorably tell him to “get the f**k out“).

“I’m obviously sorry the way things worked out for us,” he told her, adding, “I am trying to use it as a growing experience in my future relationships.”

But Maynard wasn’t buying it, calling McMahon’s apology the “biggest load of sh*t I’ve ever heard.”

“Give me some credit,” she told him.

Heartbreak among some of the guys, including Chris and Sean, was also discussed.

“I loved that girl 110 percent,” Chris said, adding that he had a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity on the show (even though he’ll soon appear on another reality competition – “Bachelor Pad”).

Chris, though still obviously sore from his elimination, told Maynard that he “respects” her decision.

Sean admitted he still has “very strong feelings” for Maynard, and that it never occurred to him he was going to be eliminated shortly after he confessed he was in love with her.

“No one wants to feel inadequate,” he said, adding later that he’s still “hopeful” he will find his future wife.

Maynard explained that her feelings for Sean were “genuine,” adding, “What girl wouldn’t want Sean?”

But on Sunday’s season finale, Maynard will choose between her final two bachelors – Jef and Arie - and, presumably, get engaged.

Who do you want to see Maynard engaged to?

    I did not watch tonight’s “men tell all”. I just wasn’t in the mood to watch it but I’ve seen clips of it. And while I did not like Kalon and thought his baggage comment was disrespectful and insensitive and Emily was in her right not to accept his apology, I am still not sure about Emily herself. I don’t find her fully sincere. I wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t choose either guy. And If she does, I have a feeling it’s Jef.

    Emily just don’t know what she wants………she asks…..what woman would not want sean…….answer…..her, she dumped him all the while saying that her feelings were genuine, she led him on and then fell for Arie and his kisses, heart ruling head………I have a sneaky feeling that she is gonna end up like all the others out in the cold after a while, there is something about both Arie and Jeff that don’t get me but I cannot put my finger on it………….she let her happiness go and I have a funny feeling that she is gonna pay for it with her heart………………this is gonna sound callous, but I hope that she gets dumped somewhere down the road……….

    Emily will play out the season and then she will be able to be with Chris Harrison whom she is in love with and Chris left his wife for Emily. Wait and see if this doesn’t happen.

    I watched the show last night. I don’t get the attraction to Jef…his parents opinion would worry me, and they haven’t met Emily yet. How she could give up Sean for Jef astounds me! Anyone else get the feeling Sean could be the new Bachelor??? I wouldn’t be surprised if Emily doesn’t choose either one of these last two, and does go on to date Chris Harrison! As crazy as that sounds, watch the way Chris looks at her……! I do have to apologize to Emily though. At first, I thought she was just another blonde with no mind of her own. I was definitely wrong. I loved the way she stood up to Ryan and Kalon last night. Kalon is just a spoiled jerk whose comments about Emily when he was in baggage claim were disgusting. Ryan is one of those guys who thinks every woman is going to fall in love with him. He is quite handsome……but then he opens his mouth and removes all doubt about what an idiot he is. I can’t imagine any woman wanting to live with someone like that. It will be interesting to see Kalon and Chris on Bachelor Pad. I think they will show their true colours there.
