Not only will she choose between two men on the July 22nd season finale, but she will also have to decide if she’s going to introduce the men to her daughter!

However, according to the ABC press release, Emily may not introduce her daughter to any of the men. Does this mean she won’t choose either of them?

Here’s the full release — the part about Ricki is bolded.

“Episode 810″ – After her broken engagement to Brad Womack, single mother Emily Maynard risked everything for a second chance at love, searching not just for a husband but for a father figure for her six-year-old daughter, Ricki. Now, after surviving some stunning twists and turns, Emily has narrowed down the 25 bachelors to two fabulous guys, Arie and Jef. Although her two relationships have progressed at different speeds – passionate and steamy from the start with Arie, while the other with Jef just grew out of a playful crush – Emily is completely in love with both men. She hopes her family, now on the beautiful island of Curaao, will offer some crucial input on which bachelor would make the better match for her. Emily is totally torn between her two suitors and whether she even should introduce Ricki to them. Which man will she choose to leave paradise with and to share her life? Or will she decide not to hand out a final rose? The Season Finale of “The Bachelorette” airs SUNDAY, JULY 22 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

Then, emotions run high as Emily sits down with Chris Harrison, live, to talk about her final two bachelors. She will take viewers back to those final days in exotic Curaao when she was conflicted about being in love with two men. Emily will discuss her relationships with Arie and Jef and the heart-wrenching decision that changed all of their lives forever. Both men return to share the bombshell outcome of the series. It’s the emotional ending to Emily’s heartfelt journey to find true love, live, on “The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose,” SUNDAY, JULY 22 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET).

Emily’s daughter, Ricki, joins her in Curaao, which only reminds Emily of the magnitude of her upcoming decision. Not only is it a question of whom she should choose, but whether she should introduce the two remaining men to the most important person in her life. Confused and overwhelmed, Emily turns to her family for their thoughts on which handsome, terrific bachelor they think would be the best for her and Ricki.

Jef is the first to arrive to meet Emily’s family and makes a great impression. He has a crucial discussion with Emily’s mom about fatherhood and another important conversation with her dad about whether he is ready to propose. Then it’s Arie’s turn. Emily’s family is skeptical about how he will compare with Jef. But this charming bachelor appears, presenting a thoughtful gift, and her family is quickly impressed with him. But will he win over Emily’s overprotective brother and her father? Emily’s family won’t make this easy for her, explaining that they like both men and this is her decision to make. And then her mother makes an astonishing suggestion. Will Emily take her mother’s advice, and how will that impact her potential happy ending?

With two possible proposals just days away, Emily hopes the last-chance dates with the two men will bring clarity to what is currently an impossible decision. Will she introduce the men to Ricki? Will she hand out her final rose? And if she does, will the final bachelor accept it and propose?”

Also, I don’t get how introducing her daughter to a guy in a lighthearted setting where SHE is actually there to protect her is such a huge freakin deal. Like it could be so traumatizing. I THINK putting her daughter on national television could be potentially more damaging than meeting another adult. Really.

It was incredibly unfair of her to not give Arie the same chance she gave Jef. She should have introduced them to both or neither. It pretty much gave away who she was going to choose.

And then, guess what? They break up after like, almost no real time as a couple. They didn’t even TRY to make it work. He just got caught up in the fame.

I hate fake engagements. If there’s no wedding date set, it’s not an engagement. Don’t put a ring on it unless you actually MEAN it.

How can it not be Arie I mean really even with all the edits and cuts of the show and what they choose to air their chemistry is amazing. I know all the spoilers point to Jef but Im convinced it’s Arie in the end.
