While it could happen, I'm not sure I can see Ashley and JP fighting on the fantasy date unless he really gets scared and tries to sabotage things. I hope that things don't end badly with Constantine. She knows he's not at the top of the list anyway.

If Ashley and JP had really been fighting on the fantasy date, I think they would've shown us more. All they showed was her walking away from the bed and JP's face..and I've only watched it once but I don't think he looked upset.

Ok..let's get off all the smokescreen that TPTB are sending our way to distract us from what will probably be a very standard FRC. How about that rollerskating date? Which was better the rollerskating date or Hong Kong date?

I don't know...tough call! Hong Kong had all the hotness in the world...but rollerskating had REO Speedwagon. I mean...how do you choose???!!

Ok, I am going with rollerskating only because this date let us see the HUGE difference in Ashley's body language and whole demeanor with JP vs. the other three guys. With the other guys, she held herself very similarly, not as relaxed, more formal, less tight hugs, shorter kisses. On the other hand, she practically melts into JP. More kisses that last longer, tighter hugs, etc. So for that reason alone, I'll pick rollerskating. Oh, and REO Speedwagon gives it bonus points for sure!

It's true that they could be making Ashley & JP's FD look like it ends badly even if it doesn't however I did get a flashback to Ashley & Brad's date. It can't be that bad because he gets a rose.

We know that Ashley's wearing the same top with JP as she does with when she's upset with her sister. We'll have to look back at what she said to him and to someone where she's on the sofa and see if we can figure out how they all tie in.

Ben got a haircut while home. I must say he looked very hot carrying Ashley after the pool. I guess we know why she called him sexy. I wonder if that's on the LCD? Seems like too much swimming otherwise.

I don't think I can get enough of Ashley's greeting with Ben. I must go find CC's little clip of it.

I have a funny feeling that the sis doesn't like one guy and the parents won't like the other.

Me too. If not, then I'm going to have to think she's either anti-Semitic, jealous, an idiot, or a drama-starter for no reason. Choose your poison, Chrystie!

She can really look different depending on the photo huh?

If the shoe fits...

That's how I'm feeling. Even if you don't like someone, why say that on national TV? I mean, come on!

I think that's Ashleys issue with her sis being such a b****. It's uncalled for and she probably a little embarassed.

Now we know why "it is not fair!"

What is this line all about?

"I woke up today thinking this is going to be a great day… and now it is ruined. It is so, like, cruel."

Those lines make no sense at all... but with the family "problem", maybe something happens after she puts on her dress.

Voice-over: "You have hopes for something and it doesn’t come true… and this crushes a lot of things for me..."

What else does Sis do?

At least we know HIS family approves. Not 100% sure about Ben's... they appear to approve. BTW, ... gee, I had better position myself better here... :hidingchair ... was it just me or did it appear that Ben's sister was reading from something below her...

Well if we were told the reason for that, it would all make sense, but we can't know the reason. That would hurt the sources. Duh. :awesome:

LOLOLOL!!!! clap3

It was because the whole idea of JP's edit going "south" was predicated on the fact that he was dangerously jealous, moody, temperamental, had a dark side. Did I leave anything out? Now we know that it's something else entirely.

I hope this is the last we have to hear about any more psycho business! These are four great guys who are all worthy of being in final 4!

Now I am off to eagerly watch the show here on the west coast!

Enjoy the show! JP does discuss his difficult times in Taipai with his brother. His brother is the one
who says that it's understandable, when you care for someone.

It really shows how unreliable some people's sources, *cough* opinions are ~ when they were based
on previews from last week's show!

I'm willing to bet we just might see that sis at ATFR saying that she watched the show, and saw how JP made her sister feel and she totally loves them both now and gives her approval.

^ She's pretty.

The head vs heart comment has a new meaning now! I think she'll choose her heart, at least I hope she does.

The didn't show us the pinkie swear, did they? :(

I think it's all just really sad. I wonder what they think now when they actually watch the guys in action?
