Seriously! fans blamed producers for always asking Chris L about his mother. That is what they do! We know this! They talk to producers for hours and we hear just the minute or two that help tell the story.

It almost seems like she finds out about his return the end of next week, and she meets him the beginning of episode 6.

My guess would be not too early. They'll string us on, and we'll get to watch the preview about a dozen times!

Oh goody, I can hardly wait.

This season does blow. But for me, it's not the rum talking. That stuff is far too good to make anything this unbearable.

Lol @ Possessionista:

I get that Ashley misses Bentley but instead of telling everyone, just drink too much and be sluttier, like a normal girl. #Bachelorette

@ryansutter could tell you better, but I feel asleep on his lap in the limo back from SeaWorld. Guess that happened 2 JP. good sign.

I'm guessing he comes in the nick of time...for JP's 1:1.

LOL Alexxxx, agreed, this is WACK!

Yes, of course. We will only see 5 minutes of her 1:1 date with JP. Ashley has some great guys. I liked Constantine and Ames.. but boy were those dates B O R I N G. Ashley's conversation with Constantine went on and on and on... nice guy... but the chemistry is not there. Good friend though. So when it's time for some fireworks for JP's date we'll get 5 min. Why? Because Bentley keeps sabotaging. Maybe that's the theme... Bentley sabotages and JP gets frustrated.

I agree with Ali. WHY is everyone so certain that Ashley is hung up on Bentley so much??? Because she's saying it in front of the camera? Because Chris Harrison kept badgeting her about him?

We have seen over 20 seasons of this show. To me the Bentley overload is ALL producers trying to hype the drama and completely distracting us from the REAL story.

Ding Ding Ding!

That' s the storyline of the season...the rest is just distraction from the main storyline...

I have faith that TPTB are emotionally breaking the audience down (& it's working!) only to hopefully build it back up later through an Ashley epiphany...wishful thinking....My wine glass is always half-full! :D

Well true or not, I'm sure Ash's blog tomorrow will be full of apologizing and apologizing and explaining it all away. So it's likely we'll never know the real story of Bentley. But one thing that's definitely true is what someone just wrote on TWoP:

She and JP are operating on a COMPLETELY different level than the other guys.

Which, yeah. So if they needed a way to distract us from what's going on with Cupcake, they've found it. Big time. So big that I'm wondering which is the real story.

I'm totally on the JP train. It's just so obvious to me that they're crazy about each other. Ashley must be mortified about the way they are portraying her as being a fool for Bentley. I'm not bying that story at all, she's been more into JP from the beginning. Ali and Trista know how it works behind the scenes.
