The seaplane with Ashley could be him, mud bath possibly but could be someone else including Ryan, and I'm not even completely sure that the beach walking pic is him. Even still, I'm inclined to believe that JP made it to the f2 date and the yellow shirt on the beach with Ashley in brown might be the LCD/MTP part.

Edit from last night's show was interesting and noticed some things:

Ben

- of course the "I love Ben..." in the intro package. I don't think it was plucked from somewhere else but seems to go with the love theme of the 2 of them last night.
- during the intro Ashley talks about wanting to see in there's an emotional and physical connection with the guys and if they're the "whole package". It appears they used the same clip at the beginning of Ben's date other than it now says "that's the only way I'll go home to meet his family" instead of their family.
-Ashley talked about having very strong feelings for a couple of guys, Ben included. Not a surprise but a confirmation that we saw.
- so many adorable parts like Ben attaching Ashley's helmet strap and his sweet talking (we saw one but they talked about another time).
- we saw Ben say "We're going places" and it's "right out of a fairy tale".
- Ben talked about falling in love and Ashley said that she "might be falling in love with Ben". We haven't heard that in relation to anyone else.
- I noticed that they showed us the name of the hotel they stayed at. It's Silks Place. http://taroko.silksplace.com.tw/index_en.html

JP

Mostly it was the jealousy thing which I've already talked about. I don't think it was a good edit for the f1 person so why show it to that extent? They could have still used it to introduce doubt by scaling it back. We didn't have to see his veins bulging, swearing, and him walking out when Ben was talking about his date. It even ruined the wedding photos because of his attitude. Very sulky and unbecoming.

Couldn't agree more...........JP's jealousy stuff is really unbecoming of a F1 edit. The tide definately is turning more towards a Ben F1 finish. The Silk's Place is something that was sleuthed out a while ago..........I think all locations were sleuthed out and are in the sleuthing section??

What does the Silk's Place have to do with anything......there is no way in heck I could read everything here....never seen so many posts. LOL I'm curious to know. Why is that significant?

Throughout the season she has encouraged Ryan beginning the first night with the First Impression Rose and then followed it up with two group roses which are endued with high praise and favor when they are given out in front of the other guys.
She mentioned at one time to him meeting his family, and so when he found himself still there prior to the Hometowns with one single date remaining and Chris Harrison's proclamation of "No rose/no pressure ringing" in his head, he was completely unprepared to be dumped on the spot on his 1-1 by an Ashley who had suddenly after all of this time changed her mind.

Now, having made a decision, does Ashley stick like glue to it? What do we hear?
We hear an indecisive Ashley say that she is definite about letting BOTH Ryan and Lucas go ONLY to turn around and be seen crying and saying she is NOT sure that she made the right decision about either one of them!

In fact, we see and hear a crying, indecisive Ashley saying that she wonders if she is "cut out for this process."

Folks, these kinds of things are left in the edit for a reason.

It may well be a combination of things, Blondie, but the very first thing that hit me, and I feel even more strong about it right now after last night's edited episode, is that Ashley may well not have been ready for a committed relationship at this time in her life.

We know that she wasn't at the end of Brad's season. My feeling of Ashley was that while she was smart as a whip and was well on her way to becoming a dentist, emotionally she is a butterfly flitting here and there, experiencing life and not ready to settle down.
We heard from one of her peers that she tried out for So You Think You Can Dance, and we know that she is into teaching dance lessons.
I think Ashley is too busy with life right now for a settled, committed relationship leading to marriage.

In my opinion the overall edit we are getting is not positive enough to make me think the producers believe there will be a solid, lasting relationship.
Ashley is indecisive. JP is too jealous and impatient. I could ignore that they have painted Ben with all of the sterotypical F2 signals except that they didn't have him show up until basically the 4th episode ( If he wins, what a shockeroo!! Wouldn't that be a kick to the sleuthers?)
I just don't think this looks so good - certainly not for an Ali/Roberto type relationship.
