The *atmosphere* here is different, in a good way! I'd say overall that
99.9% of all posting is respectful. We just need to keep in mind that
there are former contestants/now members that we need to be respectful
of the same courtesy we would show other posters.

Wonderful post, Nibbles.

We are a big site now and growing every day. We have some very important people and former contestants who are members and post. We have the world reading our posts. While we are free to speak our mind here, we should remember our manners at all times and think how the person you may be trashing would feel coming onto this site to read? I have always found it rather cowardly to hide behind a computer screen and say things you woudn't say to someone's face. We all have opinions, we all may not agree, but that's no reason to be ugly about it to anyone. jmo

Thank you Love_me and San for a wonderful site and 99% of the folks on here are very nice and classy members and
I enjoy posting with you.

And the other 1% of us say nasty things while typing in our underwear...

You crack me up.

All kidding aside, and that's difficult for me...

I'll join the chorus of thank-you's to Love and San, this place is awesome because of all you do!

I hope we can all find a way to enjoy what is left of the season. This site has been so much fun and wonderful.

This site is better than the show and the reason I watch. If I could keep only one, I would keep all of you here with your comments and observations.

The thing I keep reminding myself is Ashley said the viewers will be happy with the way things turned out. If you watch pieces of certain dates and focus on the positive there is something there.

If that doesn't work we can all meet in the Fun Thread and share a good laugh.

I am just trying to keep the peace because I like our group of members here and want this comradery to continue in the future.

Love_Me (and San), I want you to know how much I appreciate you both and how grateful I am for you creating this place. I know I am not alone in feeling this way. This is the dreaded time in the season when emotions tend to run high. But this is a great group of people and here's hoping we can laugh it off and not sweat the small stuff. Kumbaya ya'll - good vibes to everyone group hug

Totally agree with you.Usually at this time posters are divided into contestant camps and refuse to hear anything against their favorite.Being here is like a breath of fresh air.

Thank you so much Doats, Nibbles, etherealfire, Gina, and Starshine_16! It means a lot to San and I that you enjoy it here. .

What a lovely post from you, love_me!

I will take a crack at how I feel after watching this episode. I do feel much better than I did last week, that's for sure! There were some cringe worthy moments, mainly that scene with Bentley and Ashley! Yikes! How awkward, banal and uncomfortable it was to watch it. The other difficult scene was when Ashley told the other guys about Bentley. She really never saw it coming, all their anger and frustration. I think she needed to hear it and understand their feelings. I could feel for both Ashley and some of the guys. Ashley showed some bad judgement and didn't think about how it would feel for the guys. It was a mess, the whole Bentley fiasco was a mess. I sincerely hope that I have heard the last of him for good this season!

I do find myself feeling a bit protective of JP. He is so totally in love with Ashley and I hope that he doesn't get hurt. I have had this connection to him from the beginning. He confirmed a lot of what I have thought about where he was at and what he was feeling on the 1-on-1 date. He did say that the feelings started on their first 1-on-1 and that's what I saw with him. He also confirmed my feelings that he was in this all the way and wouldn't hold back. I was touched when Ashley asked him what made him cry and he said that it was when he broke up with his girlfriend,the one with whom he had the two and a half year relationship. It was real. He's for real. A genuinely nice guy who has a lot to offer. I just hope this all works out, because he has fallen hard.

My favorite part was Ashley and JP, of course! I recorded this episode and will be watching that date over and over. There was so much going on. JP's reaction to the Bentley reveal was an interesting moment. He seemed nervous and unsure when she was trying to tell him. Then he looked really surprised and seemed a bit quiet and reserved. He would be the kind of guy who would be able to take it.

The previews gave much food for thought. It appears that there is some trouble ahead. Or at least they want us to think that there will be some bumps along the way for Ashley and JP. I do hope we get a happy, feel good ending!

Finally, I wanted to personally thank you for creating this wonderful site and inviting me to join. I feel privileged to be among such good company! I feel much less intimidated and more a part of the forum than I did on FORT. There is so much love and generosity of spirit.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful site!

You and San have done a tremendous job, Love. Second to none. As long as we can remember to focus our posts on the show, and not other posters or their opinions, we won't have any problems. That's why FORT imploded. And yes, thank God for the Fun Thread. If we can't laugh about this ridiculous show, why bother watching?

San wrote:It looks like a Prom pic. Cute!

Is that Lucas and Ashley? Wow. Reaffirms my belief that it just might be lucas at the end instead of JP. anyone know where this was taken? I'm going to be interested in seeing the edits for Lucas in 2 weeks and comparing it to JP.

I think JP may end up being the bachelor. JMO. Figures I never have any luck in picking out a F1 that I like and usually like F2/F3 a little better due to the edits they always get.. LOL
can anyone compare lucas's hands to the hands holding Ashley's at FRC?

Ashley does not look happy at Namale. now I'd have thought that if it was a slam dunk for JP, she'd be very happy about seeing him at the FRC unless maybe she sent him away or something happened?
