I feel terrible for Ben, but do wonder how much his vulnerability was exploited by producers to get him to propose. I'm sure his feelings for Ashley were very sincere, but I really don't believe, based on being so emotionally shut down for so long, that he was ready to propose to the first girl he opened up to, no matter how great she might have been, and certainly not on the shortened timeframe of the show. I expect out of the bubble he would have realized that.

JP and Ash are like an unstoppable train; I think it's clear now that even if Bentley had stuck around, nothing was going to break that connection/ bond they started from the first night apparently. Eventually, Ash would have weighed the pros and cons of both guys and would have chosen JP over Bentley, I have no doubt.

Ashley will definitely take some flack for Ben, especially from some Ben fans and from people who didn't like her to start with. I don't think it will be as bad as Deanna though, because JP is a much more popular, and BELIEVABLE choice than Jesse ever was. Also, I hope this puts to rest the speculation that this relationship must be doomed in the eyes of the producers because of the "screwy" or too obvious edit. It's clear now what the "twist" was, and it had nothing to do with trouble in Cupcakeland.

ITA. It would have been him anyway, regardless of Bentley. I love that they're a team and an "us." It's my favorite part about them and it's clear starting in HK and all through their post-show media and behavior. I'm so happy they recognize it too and are nurturing that part of their relationship.

JP & Ashley will be just fine. I just know it! :Nod:
