In her own words.
Emily tells us all about episode seven of The Bachelorette.
She writes...
I'm going to start by addressing what I'm sure everyone who watches The Bachelorette is talking about this week: Arie.
During this experience I was at times suspicious of some of the guys' motives, but I knew I couldn't live my life being paranoid so I just had to trust them.
I remember being at Dollywood with Arie and saying how I felt so close to him without having the "awkward ex-girlfriend talk" yet.
I could tell the word "ex-girlfriend" made him nervous and I think from that moment on I had a feeling I was missing something.
Got thoughts? Post them at the end.
Before we started filming I had been told that there may be one contestant on the show this season who had dated Cassie, and I was asked if I would mind.
Once I knew it was almost a decade ago, and knowing that Cassie is engaged to another one of my favorite producers, Pete, I was fine with it.
I put it way out of my head as I was gearing up to meet the men, so when Cassie took it upon herself halfway through the season to tell me who the guy was, I was definitely surprised.
We had all been together so many times and it was never mentioned that they had ever met before and that's where my feelings of mistrust came in.
If you knew Cassie the way I do, you would know what a great person she is, and that I'd be lucky to have a chance with one of her exes!
Although I wish I would have known the specifics earlier, I understand the show didn't want to color my opinion of him. But I was concerned that Arie hadn't told me.
I kept feeling like I should just come out and ask him about their relationship, but I didn't because I'm looking for someone that would just be straightforward with me.
It was such a relief to finally have it all out there, and as you can see, we picked up right where we had left off.
