Okay, now I'm a little confused.

It could be possible this SC is Ben? Or JP?

But the vid footage of SHOES coming out of the seaplane are JP.

Sorry for the confusion!

I don't remember ties or watches.

We will see in 5 days. Is it August 1 yet? :D

...Agent, I thought your 'tarot cards' said JP wears the grey suit? And the guy coming out of the seaplane pulling his jacket together has a grey suit, once we ligthened it up from the dark blue/black that TPTB had it. And we can tell from the water color on the lightened up picture, it's grey. The water in the other was way to dark blue, should have been a clue to us to. Oy vey!

Guess we'll see at the FRC. Honestly all those caps gave me a big headache and now it's coming back. haha

I think I recall that the Grey Suit guy had a white shirt and not striped so this would be the white shirt guy right so if its white JP must be right

I picture him in a nice pair of jeans & shirt with a lightweight beige jacket a 'la Banana Republic & beige suede loafers, sans scruff & a grin that could promote world peace!

I see Ashley in a matching flowy beige blouse with a sparkly bronzish skirt and beige heels...it may make her look taller, but she is still TINY. Soft make-up & no nonsense hair.

That's one good crystal ball you have agent!! One of these days, I'd like to get me one of those!!

[noobsleuth]

SEASON FINALE

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST ROMANTIC AND DRAMATIC NIGHTS EVER ON ABC,
ON THE SEASON FINALE OF "THE BACHELORETTE," MONDAY, AUGUST 1


A Shocking Fight Between Ashley and Her Sister May Spell the End of One Relationship

And Immediately Following the Season Finale, Both Ben F. and J.P. Join Ashley
to Look Back at the Dramatic Ending to Her Journey to Find Love,
on "The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose"


"Episode 710" - In this gripping special conclusion, Ashley, who began her search for love with 25 bachelors, has survived a shocking and emotionally taxing journey and found herself falling in love with two very different, but wonderful men, Ben F. and J.P. As she prepares to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life, she invites the two remaining bachelors to tour more of the breathtaking island country of Fiji to meet her family. Ashley hopes her family will offer some crucial input about which incredible man they believe will make the better match for her. Then the men have one last chance to lay their hearts on the line, each trying to guarantee that he will be the one to get Ashley's final rose. Once fearful that none of the men would be drawn to her, she now has two men in love with her. But which man will she choose to leave paradise with and to share her life, and who will go home with a broken heart? The Season Finale of "The Bachelorette" airs MONDAY, AUGUST 1 (8:00-10:02 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

With Ashley's search for her soul mate over, she talks to Chris Harrison about the two final bachelors this season in "After the Final Rose" special. She'll take viewers back to exotic Fiji on the final day, and to what she was thinking when she made the most challenging decision of her life. Ashley and the bachelor she rejected square off in an emotional discussion about his dramatic exit from the show - and he wants some answers. He will confront Ashley for the first time since that day he left heartbroken. Finally, Ashley and the man who received the final rose are together in public for the first time. They will discuss the difficulty of sustaining the relationship in secret, the roadblocks they encountered on their journey - including a surprise guest, Ashley's sister Chrystie, who was one of those obstacles -- and what the future will hold for them. It's an emotional conclusion to Ashley's heartfelt journey to find true love, on "The Bachelorette: After the Final Rose," MONDAY, AUGUST 1 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET).

When J.P. first arrives to meet Ashley's family at the Vomo Island Resort and Spa, he appears to make a great first impression. However, Ashley's sister, Chrystie, whose opinion she has always valued, lets her know that she doesn't see this man as the one for her. The drama erupts as the two sisters confront one another in a sensational fight. Ashley is stunned by her sister's frank assessment and seeks solace from her brother. Meanwhile, Chrystie offers J.P. a litany of things that she finds troubling about any future relationship he might be planning with her sister. He is shocked by this summary appraisal. Will Ashley be forced to reassess her feelings for J.P. because of her sister's brutal opinion?

The following day, Ashley's attempts to clear the air with her sister fail and fireworks start again - especially when Chrystie drops the bomb that she saw more chemistry between her sister and



Brad than Ashley and J.P. Another heated verbal sparring session ensues while Ashley worries how her family will receive Ben F. But when this amiable bachelor arrives, he immediately charms everyone with his carefree attitude and sense of humor. Even Chrystie is happy to see Ashley be herself around Ben F., which will only make her decision ever harder.

Ashley is now down to her "last chance" dates with the final two men to bring some clarity to the situation. She and Ben F. soar in a helicopter over the Fijian seascape, landing near some natural hot springs where the couple spend a steamy time together. Later the date turns serious when the emotional Ben F. finally completely opens up to Ashley and admits that he loves her. This outpouring of emotion has a definite effect on Ashley.

The next day, Ashley and J.P. meet and the distressed bachelor is still reeling from Chrystie's harsh judgment of him. He begs Ashley not to let her sister's opinion influence her decision, but Ashley is determined to make sure that the man she picks is right both for her head and heart. Desperate to convince her that he is the one for her, J.P. admits he's falling madly in love with her. He even surprises her with a special gift that night as they snuggle.

Her journey is over and both men are ready to propose, but there is still one heart-breaking decision for Ashley to make before she can find her happily ever after.

Sounds like this is the mud bath part of the date.

Who was it that said they thought that Ben would get the first LCD so that Ashley couldn't back out? Sure looks that way with JP getting the last LCD.

[Bronwyn]

Gee, guess they completely gave up trying to make this suspenseful. Even without the spoilers they've given away the ending, by describing the obstacles Ashley and her pick had to overcome, including her sister, and then the MTP description of her sister's objections to JP.

I noticed that too. The ATFR description gives away who the F1 is.

[bluwavz]

Thank you for posting that, cupcakes. So now we know for sure that Ben is the guy in the mud bath. I noticed this press release says JP gives Ashley a gift, but it doesn't say anything about Ben giving her a gift. I wonder if he did and they just left that out or if he just didn't give her one?
