Loved Ben tonight. Ashley's loss, IMO.

Ummm really really really hope he is the next bachelor?

The worst thing would be if JP isn't the F1 and isn't the next Bachelor. Then we wouldn't get to see him anymore :(

Jimmy Kimmel was a howl... He brought up the hometown dates and showed Ben taking Ashley home all worried. Then we saw clips from "The Hoarders" with Constantine's name-by-name role call of his family... all clips of people with loads of junk all over the house! Then her stock shot from the Bentley in Hong Kong... what was it? Shut up!

****

Was this discussed yet? I know we shouldn't put too much stock on voice-overs, but this one was MOST interesting...

As Ashley looks at all four photos of the guys before the RC ceremony...

Tonight is going to be so hard
JP photo shown first: If it were up to me,
Moving over to Ames photo: I would take all four guys on more dates but…
Constantine: The truth is I need to start really figuring things out and make some tough decisions…
Ben: Time is running out but…
She touches JP’s photo: I’m in such a great place right now.
All photos but a slow pan out with JP’s strategically in the middle: I’m ready. I’m ready to find my husband…

Ames didn't have the F4 "creepy" date! Saving his image for Bachelor Pad? My guess is the family didn't give them anything to work with.

not one family got thrown under the bus... is MF getting soft in his old age? or is he still deciding a Bach for next season?

He's throwing Ashley's family under the bus next week!! No need to do it to F4.

JP isn't ready for a commitment with Ashley
Im sure that makes her feel real secure

Sorry that I'm so late to the party tonight!! The major thing that stuck out for me tonight was the forshadowing Ashley's sister's disapproval of JP after Constantine and Ben both stated that their families approval (or lack thereof) would be a deal breaker for them. Hopefully, this will be resolved but in the event that it isn't-- I definitely think that Ashley will choose her "her guy" over her sister's wishes.

Also, we start to understand some of the sc's that we haven't been able to figure out up to now. Specifically, Ash crying on the couch speaking to someone (we now know is her sister) and then her speaking with JP on the beach saying, oh well, I'll just have to figure it out. I also think that the person on the other side of the door, when Ashley is so surprised, is her family and her reaction to seeing them. I now think that Ryan's coming back will be a total non-event; even less than Jake coming back to speak with Jillian re: Wes!!

Ashley should take a lesson from all these guys and respect
her family's opinion enough to listen to it like the men do

I don't think any of us believe that. It's how they are presenting it to us, to create doubt where there is none!

The line in bold lit a bulb in my head...

Ben: You’ll figure it out. You’re a smart girl.

Only his logic is applying to the wrong guy... LOL!

On the verge of being juvenile...I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that question... :shock:
