After the Rose-Brad and Emily

The prince proposes to the princess and they rode happily into the South African sunset. Well, not exactly. After watching the After the Rose Ceremony, I got the distinct feeling that Emily is just not that into him. While Brad is definitely head over heels about her. Every time Emily was about to say something negative about their relationship, she would first pat his shoulder and then say, "I love you" and then, "No I'm not moving to Austin", "No we're not getting married" and "Yes, he does have a temper". We watched another Emily emerge. Gone were the Southern Fried charm and in it's place a reality show make over. I hate to say it but her demanding ways were showing. I caught a glimpse of that when on their last date in South Africa when she kept grilling him about her daughter, that he'd have to be there for all the bad stuff too, like emergency runs in the middle of the night, hey I think he gets it. Brad seems fully vested in her, but she's the hesitant one, afraid to take the plunge because maybe in the back of her mind, no one will ever live up to her Ricky.
Both seem extremely stubborn and temperamental, a volatile combination. They confessed to having knock down drag out fights. How knock down and drag out fights can one get over the phone since they haven't been together since the finale? My guess on their relationship lasting, when it rains money! Too bad, we did want the Hollywood ending for Emily, but she looks like she is trying to sabotage it. Come on, where's that sweet Emily that is looking for love?
