I am so glad her season turned out to be a great one! Two bachelorette seasons in a row where I feel like the lead has chosen the right one for them since the very beginning, and I feel like their relationships are real and will last.

My two official favorite seasons of all time ~ Aliberto & Jash. :-)

I was less then thrilled that Ashley was picked to be the B'ette, and even considered not watching. Like most everyone else I found myself watching and hating it every week because of the obsession we saw with the B hole that lives about 20 minutes from me. After all of that ended and we saw the last of him in HK, then I started to enjoy the show. She has grown on me, and I am very happy for her and the way things turned out for her. I hope this is her love of a lifetime, they are so great together. :Nod:

:bigsmile:

I wonder how obvious the LCD's are going to be.

Obviously this season was never who will Ash choose, it was will they last through all the crap thrown at them

Exactly. I think it only brought our cupcakes closer. :hug:

Ben is forced to play Count Paris' role.

Will it be worthy of an oscar :yes:

. I don't know how this could even be consider the best love story ever, when she was pining over another guy for half the season. It sure couldn't be conpared to Ali's, it's another DeAnna repeat, right down to the MTP, FRC, ATFR and probably til 6 months.

For me to even consider the analogy you suggest with Deanna's season, I have to equate Bentley with Graham. I refuse to go there. There is no comparison. Case closed.

The season, the first choice, not comparing the men.

I have to admit that I didn't think it was at all possible after the whole Bentley debunkle. He was just a smokescreen for what was really happening, and I see these two going the distance. :Nod:

But you are in the sense that Deanna couldn't find love with anyone else because she couldn't get over Graham, which is believable because it's Graham. The idea that Ashley couldn't get over Bentley is not believable because it's a douchebag.

ITA AgentCurls and Ironcat. Good Post

The only similarity is that both DeAnna and Ashley wasted too much time on the wrong guys. I believe I tweeted her that Ashley had far more time to et over Bentley than she did Graham. She agreed.

Did Ashley meet with Chrystie before she brought Ben to meet them? If so, I'm pretty sure that Ashley was still feeling very raw about her battle with her sister and that would affect her, she says she has no poker face. :Frown:
