JP is a very confident guy. I can see where it would come off as cocky to some people but I've been around enough athletes to tell you what cocky is, and it ain't JP. I hope they have a big NYC wedding. I think Ali and Roberto will do the beach so I'd like to see something different but Jash says beaches are their thing...... Bet they have more fun in Fiji this time around :tackle:

In the Philly interview, Ash listed her first turnoff as arrogance.

OK- finally joined and posting. (I really just missed Alanna's posts) :Nod:

NYer here!

JP is one of the most real guys ever to have had any interaction with this ridicluous show.
The moment he stepped out of the limo and told Ashley it was just him and no props I knew- this dude is not just here for kicks. He's really going to give Ashley a fair shot at love. And he didn't dissapoint.

By far, this is the most real season i have ever watched. The next bach/ette have big shoes to fill.

BEST.SEASON.EVER.

:smileywelcome: bachfanNY ~ I agree with you! BEST. SEASON. EVER.!!!

BachFanNY!! Glad you're here.

Thank you!

I couldn't help myself. Ashley and JP have got to be the cutest couple in Bachelor history.

Ben is adorable and when he said JP is the "safe" choice didn't he mean it'd be less change for Ashley in geography and flexibility? Ben knows he's tied to the winery. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt instead of using the lack of maturity approach. However, I'm way older than him and part of me will never "mature" but would like to give away some of the parts of me that have! It does appear that JP and Ashley are a great couple whichs is fun.

I'm also "way older" than Ben, and I'm sure that's the reason I'm more uncomfortable than many viewers with Ben's video that was leaked. I'm not making a judgment here, just commenting on the generation thing. My daughter, who is much closer to Ben's age, thought the video was hilarious. So when I saw how swiftly ABC got that video "recalled", I wondered if they were thinking of viewers like me, and wanted to be sure no doors were closed on the possibility of Ben being the next bachelor.

I haven't been on the board much in the last few days and hadn';t heard about a leaked video??? Can I see it somewhere, or was there a discussion going on about it in another thread??? so curious

Apparently the video was posted on RS's blog, we also had it here, but ABC legal asked everyone who had the video posted to remove it from their blogs, forums. So it is no longer available for viewing.

It was discussed in an RS thread yesterday. Not the usual RS thread though! Hope that helped! :awesome:

I never viewed it as we are not allowed to go to You Tube at work, it was gone by the time I tried at home. From what I understand it was spoof rap video called Cream Dreams or some such. Ben wore the wig that he debuted at the HTD (SC around here somewhere). Most thought it was pretty funny, some thought it was crude. It apparently showed a completely different side of Ben than what the edit is showing.
