I know! That poor girl is always hungry! Cassie should have carried around a baggie of Cheerios or fruit snacks for her while they were filming.

Thanks. Loved her and Ames so sweet. She's going to be upset letting Ames go as F4, because he's a sweetheart. JP and Ashley, just always romantic and they can't keep their hands off of each other, even in front of the family, and looks like fun. Cute with Constantine and Ben. But, whoa, Ben said It won't work if his mom and sister don't like her..Ashley looked so shocked at that comment. jmo

IMO, it was also sorted out and she understood what he meant..........from the look on her face, she completely understood and was fine with it.

where was the JP vid - I only saw Ames and Ben.

Anders, I believe they have Ames and JP's tagged wrong. JP's is under the one for Ames.

thanks - found it, didn't see the tabs on the bottom....duh....

I have to say the brief JP/Ash HTD preview reminded me of Rob/Ali's and Ben/Ash HTD preview had shades of Chris L.

Yep I will be looking at Ashley's reaction to what the family has to say...very telling. Ali was much more invested in what RM's dad was saying compared to Chris's dad Ed. Ed was saying some really good powerful stuff and Ali was barely hanging on. Still say CL's hometown date was the best ever!!! I can just see Peyton loving that family!

This season we have two of the final contenders who seem to have stong religious affiliations.

JP and his family are Jewish and I assume obseve the practices of such. How does a non-Jew fit into such a family? I am sure it happens all the time. How?

Constantine is assumed to be Greek Orthodox. His religious values are supposedly partially what lead him to leave. (Who said that anyway? RS?)I have always thought that Greek Orthodox was similalr to Catholic in practice. Again, is there some difficulty for a non-Greek Orthodox believer to marry into the family? What would be "required?"

I have non-Catholic and non-Mormon friends who conveted for their spouses. I have Christian friends who have married non-religious patners. Is there something about either of these religions that would be insurmountable? I have no perspective, but perhaps some of you know.

Well in the bible it warns against being "unequally yoked"...so for someone that is strong in their faith and a believer of the bible, I would say it could very well be insurmountable.

makes you wonder why he'd go on the show in the first place if he had such strict views on who he could and who couldn't marry. hmmmmmm wouldn't he have been better off to go to a church social instead of the Bach?? :giggle:
