Yeah, the only time I got to leave the room was when the teacher made me go stand in the hall...

On another note, the parts of the RS blog about the Ben/Dino bromance was hilarious, I loved it

And since Ashley and others who personally know JP have all described him as a wonderful, loving man, I'm thinking this isn't really as big a deal as we're making it.

Maybe not so, but don't forget, Ames and Ryan also called JP out on his temper/jealousy/moods.

Exactly when did Ames and Ryan call JP out and what did they say? I only remember one comment from Lucas. Thanks.

Haha yeah, that was a cute little dialogue.
JP -- "Yeah, I know what I said. It's fine in theory....." :Nod:

and Ashley's reaction to that was quite telling.. she started nodding and smiling. She knows right where JP's at. :Nod:

And if the lightbulb wasn't quite bright enough that he's head over heels in love with her, that did it last night. She told hiim she thought he was a cool cucumber and she saw he turned into a hot mindfried cucumber from having to watch here with the other guys and it tore him slap up. That lightbulb is now burning brightly and she knows for sure. :cc3: She saw real emotion, not some cool laid back guy reading scripted lines.

I think JP's behavior is perfectly understandable, given the circumstances he finds himself in. Once Ashley picks him at the end, and she will, he will be fine. Now in a few years if they stay together, and he shoots his dangerous dagger eyes to some guy again, then she might have something to worry about. But considering what his ex-girlfriends say about what a great guy he is, he doesn't appear to be that type of guy. It's just these circumstances he is reacting this way, because he has no idea how Ashley is really feeling about him, he just knows he's nuts about her, and he's scared she won't reciprocate those feelings. He has no idea that he has nothing to worry about on that front.

It's always the surrounding things that tell also the story and shouldn't be overlooked.

Right anders! Lucus really let's you know what's going on. He's doesn't hold back. I like that. I find his comment about the wedding attire interesting, I would like to see how JP would have reacted if he had Lucus or Ames on. Probably would have bursted a vessel.

Too bad Lucas went home. I think he could have provided more insight as time went on even if he wasn't going to be the F1!

It sure is, I think he would have kept us up on what was really going on.

Lucas could have provided a view of what was going on from his own perspective, which may or may not have been accurate. He thought he was one of Ashley's top contenders, and was shocked to find out he wasn't, so he appears to have missed a few things regarding what was really going on.

But Lucas among 2 others did have a handle on JP's attitude and his childish nature.........that's for sure. :yes:
