Re: Ashley and J.P - General Media Discussion - Thread #2

[chaslom4]

This article is posted in Ben's thread, but just bringing over a few of the comments that I found interesting in that article. Is it me, or does this sound like none of these three were all that into Ashley, but more about just hanging out with each other?

“There was no competition between the three of us,” explained Tzortzis.

Ben F, 28, was the quietest of the three. Especially when questions involved Ashley Hebert, 26, who accepted a proposal of marriage from another contestant.

The question was posed as to whether or not Ashley made the right choice when she offered the final rose to JP Rosenbaum, 34, a New York construction manager.

“Legally I’m not allowed to answer,” stated Flajnik.

Were there any regrets? “No,” replied McLean. Tzortzis added that “we made friends, we got to see the world. Life is good.” The three unanimously agreed that Thailand was the favorite location of the season and were relatively unbothered by Hebert’s simultaneous dating of other contestants.

You only need one, Ash found him too.

Oh I agree Diana! But for some reason that article just rubbed me the wrong way!

I don't even know what to say. Oh well, the one who truly wanted her is the one who got her.

I am kind of surprised at how bitter Ben seems. I think he feels as if he was led on, which is obviously going to happen, but I don't think he was familiar enough with the show to realize that that happens. Hopefully in time he will be able to see that everything worked out the way it was meant to be for everyone involved.

Ben's "not legally allowed to answer" I assume is a quip, but I really think he would have been better served to just be gracious at this point. Unless he really is still bitter. I agree that something rubbed me the wrong way there.

Constantine had the class to wish JP and Ashley well and a happy life together. Too bad Ben didn't take the high road and do the same.

I agree.Ben, Dino and Lucas are the only ones who did not offer any kind of well wishes for Ashley and JP. Maybe it isn't that big of a deal for some, but to me it is the gracious thing to do. JMO

I'm not sure why he wouldn't have just wished them well and moved on. Maybe it has something to do with being The Bachelor? Not sure what would make sense, but that's the only thing I can think of. I'd be surprised if he was still bitter, just doesn't seem like his style. It's kind of weird, and kind of rubs me the wrong way too.

Actually Dino said this on that interview where Ben said he couldn't legally answer, which is b/s, he could have been gracious and just wished JP and Ashley well. Obviously, he's still jealous of JP, imo

Constantine: We all respect Ashley. She was put in a very difficult decision and in the end everything worked out for the best. As of now we aren't in contact with her and JP [her fiance], as they are probably overwhelmed with attention.
We do wish them the best and hope they have a wonderful life together

[DMBFan]

Maybe he does think she picked the right one but legally he has to play the role of jilted F2. I'm sorry, but I still don't see that he was all that in love with Ashley and think he played a role. That's of course IMHO.

Thanks Gina! I guess I should have read the article better I'm glad Dino finally said something.
