Dent school is like med and pharm schools- it's 4 years and a BS or BA is required in 99% of cases. So if he graduated from UMKC in 2010 and is a dentist, it means he finished all his studies in dent school.

I'm surprised so many find him hot because he really does nothing for me.

My early favorite is Will because Ash seems to like him and he seems nice, and I also like Ben and Mickey.

I think Blake is cute and if Ashley ended up with him they could open their own Dental office together. I also like Ryan and of course Wish is the front runner for me because like you said Ashley seems smitten in the pictures we have seen so far of them on their date. Which Ben do you like? I need to keep an open mind about Ben C. because Ashley didn't seem that into him.

I know it is too early to tell. Just passing the time looking at the guys we have so far pictures.

HAHA that's so cute about Ash and Blake and the dental office. They could totally make that work and because he finished last year, he can probably pick up and move to start a practice anywhere he wants right now. Definite possibility in terms of convenience.

I like Ben C for his looks. I love those seersucker pants he and his fraternity gentlemen buddies are rocking in every pic. LOL! He's a little prepster hottie. :laughingoutlou

Aww. Very sad, they were a beautiful couple. However, I'm really, really, REALLY over TPTB making a sobfest out of every tragedy that comes their way. I really hope he's either eliminated early or we hear about her once and then it's not mentioned again.

I have a feeling that we might be hearing about it often because RS mentioned it in his blog today. However, was RS told about Ashley's boyfriend that passed away before she went on TheBachelor?

From what I have heard from her friends they were a wonderful couple and West was the best husband. This was left in the comments after her funeral.

For those whocouldn't attend, West gave the most beautiful eulogy I could ever imagine at Sarah's service this morning. Please keep him and both families in your thoughts and prayers.

Yeah, whatever happened to TPTB exploiting Ashley and the dead boyfriend? Was a producer sleeping on the job or smoking up or something the day she mentioned it? These people are ridiculous. Seriously, if I think about this show too much, I get nauseous and never want to see it again.

I agree with you. I can see him even becoming the next Bachelor if he isn't the F1. I am giving all the guys a chance, but I do have some early favorites. West looks cute and has accomplished a lot which is good.

So far I like the group of Bachelors Ashley has on her season.

But Bentley is already home and we are only at the 4th or 5th Episode, I would think he would have to be there through hometown dates to be in the running for the next Bachelor. No? :silent:

I only found that out after I posted that. My mistake.
