Agree, Pattycake I know I'll be sad. He's not a bad person, imo, just clueless when it comes to what Ashley feels for him, compared to what he is feeling for her. And the unspoiled viewer will be totally shocked that he's sent home and does not get a HTD. I'm going to hate watching it.

For me (If I was unspoiled) it will be like Reid being sent home at F3, never expected it, thought it'd be Kiptyn. (I love Kiptyn, but thought she and Reid had a better connection).

She mentioned something about his hometown at one point, as well as giving him 2 group roses and the First Impression Rose. He has been kind and supportive of her when others haven't, and he definitely has shown an interest in her that some haven't, so what is he supposed to think? He might not think he is the frontfrunner, but I bet he thought he was going to get one of those HTs.

Bloomers, I agree and Ryan will be totally blindsided as she has made him feel comfortable enough (esp. in his happy Ryan world) that he expects have a least an HTD. And the plot thickens as to why he returns to Fiji..did she leave him with the dreaded .dot .dot .dot (ok, just kidding). He was still down in the dumps on his vblog, he must have been really hurt.

Or maybe not, but I had to snark a little. He's hurt but smiles; she's giving him the boot, but crying about it. *sigh* Prove me wrong, Ashley!

Jesse C. already tweeted that one guy leaves crying, so I think it will be very emotional on the rejection tonight.
Ashley may cry too, because I think she hates to hurt anyone.

hmmm, I wonder if we'll be seeing this tonight:

I'm thinking of all kinds of wild scenarios here...

This LOOKS like the post-hometown RC, but it COULD be tonight. I do know she has developed a close bond with Ames, on a friend level at least. I thought she was crying over his departure, post hometown (and we just know he will have the best one of the lot) and how difficult the process is. The tweets suggest that the post-hometown RC is a drama fest one way or another. Perhaps Constantine already made it clear he wants out and accepts a rose over Ames... a shocker.

Fleiss tweets:
April 27 - Ashley H looks hot tonight!!!
April 28 - Must admit--this might be the most shocking rose ceremony EVER!!!
April 28 - I take it back....This IS the most shocking rose ceremony EVER!!!

Then... I'm wondering if Ryan's return is HER doing... to get some closure. Maybe she feels there's "dot dot dot" business that needs taken care of. He, of course, may think she wants him back, but she just wants to explain herself better to him. Give HIM closure. Maybe she sobs post-hometown of wanting to bring Ryan back.

I do think Jordan's yellow shirt PI discussing her closure with Bentley may have been shot around this same time.

The famous lamp! In looking thru sites for some hotels in Fiji, the more expensive/luxurious hotels have more contemporary styles of fixtures.

I have looked at so many hotels at this point I don't think I would even remember if I saw a lamp that looked like this anymore!

peterjscalettar Tonight! #Bachelorette dare I say "the most heartbreaking goodbye in Bach history?"

I'm confused. Is this lamp being discussed in tonight's episode?

I looked at the Regent Taipai and thought that the crab lamp would probably be relagated to the maid's closet - certainly not out in sight

I thought about the Rosenbaum's condo on St. Thomas, but that didnt match either Perhaps JP bedroom at home? probably not

Really - the lamp looks like a 1950's pressed glass base. The dish looks about that vintage also (American contemporary?) They dont stay in any retro 5-star hotels do they?

Correct me here... are we talking about Jordan's crab and starfish one? I still think that is SOMEWHERE in Fiji. Maybe it is the ONLY lamp of its kind!

Ok, thanks, I was confused because this thread is about tonight's show, so I wondered if that lamp cap is from tonight?

But where in Fiji would they be that they would come accross furnishings like that lamp? Certainly not the 5-star resorts where Ashley stayed. Maybe the crew or guys stayed elsewhere?

Maybe they bought it on a shopping trip..
