"Ashley wants to have sex with JP"

Bhaka wrote:Since I am a JP fan, I must be the first to admit that I see his edit through rose-colored glasses. Having said that, the scene that most convinces me that he is F1 is the scene between Ashley and JP's mother, Eileen.

Ashley has already told us that she doesn't think she hides her feelings well. When Eileen asks if she's put Ashley "on the spot", Ashley responds, "You can put me on the spot as much as you want." Ashley's "role" didn't require her to be that open.

Then when Eileen tells Ashley she doesn't want to see her son hurt again, Ashley responds, "I am smitten by your son. We have something that is very special to me."It's one thing for Ashley to hide her feelings from F4, F3, F2. As hard as that might be, they are adults who knew what they signed up for. But Ashley didn't have to respond so lovingly to Eileen. She could have said something like, "You're right, it's hard. But I just have to stay open and trust the process."

If I were Ashely, which obviously I am not, I couldn't have given such open answers to anyone but the mother of my F1.

I have a funny feeling that people are going to really dislike Ashley, at the end of this.

If you want to say that Ashley is only attracted to having sex with JP ... everyone understands what you mean. If you want to say that Ashley was only interested in having a friendship with Ames but didnt want to go to bed with him, everyone understands that.

Ashley wants to have sex with JP. That's a true statement that I think we can agree on. But that is not the sum total of his edit as a character.

CarrieAlexander wrote:etherealfire.. I'm sure she is going to be screwed either way I was and will always be team Ashley. There's no way for her to please everyone and she really doesn't have even control over people understanding who she really is and why she made the choices she did because of editing.

Some (and by some I don't mean everyone, so chill) who wants Ben to win will say she is cruel and heartless for dragging him along like they do every season to the F2, she should have picked him because he is better than the rest.

Some (and by some I don't mean everyone so you guys chill out too) who wanted JP to win will still conclude that the season was way to obvious and boring because it was spoiled from the start and a waste of time to watch.
