"Most of Emily Maynard&amp;apos;s Bachelorette suitors would jump at the chance to spend the night with their leading lady in the show&amp;apos;s enticing Fantasy Suite -- but not top 3 finalist Jef Holm.\r\nTrekking with Maynard and fellow contestants Sean Lowe and Arie Luyendyk to Curacao on Monday&amp;apos;s episode, frontrunner Holm, 27, politely declined Maynard&amp;apos;s all-important invite to sleep over in the luxurious suite, taking Maynard, 26, by complete surprise.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;It would be awesome to forgo our original rooms, but I completely respect that your daughter and my family and your family is going to be watching this,&amp;quot; Holm told Maynard after the couple enjoyed a boat ride and dinner. &amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s a time and a place. I plan on spending every night with you in our own Fantasy Suite.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTouched by his gentlemanly gesture, modest single mom Maynard wished she could have been the one to refuse the offer. &amp;quot;He took everything I was going to tell him about why I couldn&amp;apos;t go,&amp;quot; she said on Monday&amp;apos;s episode. &amp;quot;It was very sweet, but he turned me down and I wanted to turn him down!&amp;quot;\r\nFinishing out the evening &amp;quot;more in love with Emily than ever,&amp;quot; Holm indeed secured a rose at the end of the episode, securing himself a place in the final two.\r\n\r\nThe Fantasy Suite also proved to be a sticking point for Maynard and her other two suitors. Calling Lowe the &amp;quot;perfect man,&amp;quot; the Bachelorette did not hand over a suite key -- even after Lowe finally professed his love to her.\r\nLuyendyk, on the other hand, was a different story. &amp;quot;At the end of the day, I don&amp;apos;t trust myself,&amp;quot; a hot and heavy Maynard reasoned when declining to invite the race car driver to stay the night with her. &amp;quot;I won&amp;apos;t let myself go there, but good Lord he&amp;apos;s hot!&amp;quot;  Lucky for Luyendyk, he earned a rose after making Maynard&amp;apos;s heart go aflutter even without the overnight date.\r\n\r\nLowe wasn&amp;apos;t as fortunate, and was sent home in what he declared to be a rose ceremony blindside.  &amp;quot;I feel kinda stupid, because I knew with certainly that I was ready to spend forever with you and I didn&amp;apos;t see this coming,&amp;quot; he sniped to Maynard after his elimination. &amp;quot;I think you should know it&amp;apos;s going to hurt me. All week my thoughts were consumed with being a father, being a husband -- which I was fully prepared to do. It hurts a lot -- a lot more than I can describe.&amp;quot;\r\nTell Us: Should Emily pick Jef or Arie?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
