Maybe it's just Ashley but even though their kisses are hot (at least TPTB are making them seem that way), I don't see too much of a "connection" with any of them (OMG someone have a drink for me! :margarita: )

I'm going to have to watch it all over again and then see what happens in the episode on 7/11.

Okay, weird observation here but some of Ashley and JP's kisses shows Ashley very closed mouth. Wonder if she does not want to get all sloppy on tv for her future patients to see or ?

There are also people that are not comfortable with conflict and avoid it whenever possible. On the other hand, there are those that like to stir up the pot!

You could be right, but last season was also dubbed the Emily show, so we know that she was front and centre every episode, one way or the other but Ben just seems to pretty much non-existant at this point, and it has to be for a reason, from an editing point anyway. I think we'll know why at the FRC.

Yep, we are on the same page and I think it could be a little of both. Ben certainly seems more reserved than Ryan P. for example, but we also know that he must be talking to some extent and that seems to be on the cutting room floor. I am curious to see how his edit changes in the coming weeks. TPTB have to rev up his edit in order for us to think Ashley chooses him for F1. She certainly seems distraught and in conflict over her choice at the end. Especially that convo with JP in the yellow shirt and Ash in the brown one. They have to make it look interesting and not a slam dunk.

I agree with both of you. Maybe what Ben says ends up on the cutting room floor because what he says does not advance the story they are telling along. It does seem that every season there are "parts" they cast in picking the Bach/Ette group of people.

Spot on, girl! We know one thing for sure...We are through episode 7 and they have not given us a storyline with Ben, other than that he is a sweet and humorous guy. I think that is about to change in order to keep the viewing public wondering, though!

Great point Beeleever. Ben has to step up his game if we are to be wondering on the FRC day. Producers are probably saying at this point of the show, "Ben, step away from the wine bottle and go find Ashley."

LOL I can see Ben and Dino nudging each other like, " you go man" "no, you go I went last time"... OKay fine send in Ryan.

I have noticed Ashley kissing him and then turning her face away. Noticed this more than a couple of times. Perhaps its nothing. Plus I will probably need to :hidingchair.

The passion I notice is definitely JP. He is all in. And the one making those scenes look hot.

Bwahahaha! Priceless.


Seriously though, the Ben/Ash connection has been there, the guys have commented on it, it just hasn't been shown to us. Starting episode 7 we'll get to start seeing it.

IDK, Ashley looked all in when they were on the beach! LOL! I have noticed that they both do this little thing where after a kiss one will kiss the other like on the corner of their mouth. I need to watch again and more closely. Maybe that's just a little thing they do. She would not be the first that didn't allow tongues to be rammed down their throats. At this point, I think that JP respects anything that she asks of him.

Good luck, thanks for volunteering your time

and as much as I hate to admit it, I also see JP/Ash not kissing a lot directly on the lips. Some of the times it's JP kissing her slightly to the right of her lips but it still looks hot IMO. We just need to be careful around this time of the season is usually when MF likes to start playing with us. LOL
