Re: Ashley and J.P - General Media Discussion - Thread #4

[Archer23]

In the new episode description for ATFR, they mention that Ash and JP will be discussing wedding plans. So hopefully we will at least get a more exact timeframe (and probably confirmation that it will be televised!).

Probably just the fact that they don't have any. :laughingoutlou Kidding, of course. I don't think ABC would have even bothered to mention their "wedding plans" in the episode description if the gist of their update was "We're happy, but we don't have any solid plans." Add in Chris's opinion that they're getting married "very soon," and there's very little mystery about what's going on here (not that there ever was, IMO).

Anyway, for anyone who's interested, here's the relevant part of the press release:

SEASON FINALE

Bachelor: Women Tell All Postmortem: Ashley Hebert Dishes on Courtney's Tears, Lindzi's Chances and More!

Seems like Courtney Robertson's fellow Bachelor contestants aren't the only ones doubting the sincerity of her apology last night during The Bachelor: Women Tell All.

We caught up with former Bachelorette Ashley Hebert to discuss all the craziness that went down with Courtney and the rest of the gals during last night's special...craziness that Ashley wasn't exactly a fan of, telling us she almost shut off her TV during the special. Yikes!

So does Ashley think Courtney's apology was genuine or self-serving? Plus, which girl does Ashley think will get the final rose from Ben Flajnik: Courtney or Lindzi Cox?

"I didn't even want to watch," Ashley tells us of the Women Tell All special. "It made me just want to turn it off. It was just like a typical sorority party. Everyone fights; I thought people were going to start throwing shoes at each other. It was crazy!"

So what did Ashley, who is not exactly the Courtney's biggest fan, think of her apology? "I actually do believe Courtney's tears were genuine; she apologized from a place in her heart where she was sorry," she says. "Was she sorry for hurting the girls? I don't know. Was she sorry for making herself look like a mean girl? I think that's what it is."

Ashley continues, "I think she did learn and she feels apologetic, but I also feel like the only reason she's apologizing is because of the backlash she's getting from the media, from her friends, from her family, from everyone. Everyone hates her." Ashley also admits she thinks Courtney's behavior on the show and everything that happened during the special could effect Ben's feelings for her. "If he does pick her, he's going to think twice after seeing everything that she says."

Speaking of apologies, Ashley feels like all of the girls owed funeral director Shawntel one for all the mean things they said about her during the show. "I thought that was really brave of her to go back on the show and subject herself to the potential of having even more negativity thrown at her," she explains. "She handled herself well and voiced basically how hard it was to watch and how mean girls can be."

Looking ahead toward the big finale, Hebert says she'd like to see her former beau happy. "I want the happy ending. I want Lindzi," she says. "I want him to have a real relationship and I think he could only have it with Lindzi at this point."

However, Ashley is pretty sure she's not going to see her preferred happy ending. "It never goes the way you want. I think Ben's going to pick Courtney. I could be surprised…probably not though," she says.

Finally, Ashley tells us she's sick of all the drama and is hoping BFF Emily Maynard's upcoming season of The Bachelorette is focused on more important things, like you know, finding love and all that. "I'm ready to see a season that's about love and less drama. I know the drama keeps viewers coming back, but I've been waiting for it and I think Emily's season is going to be that season I've been waiting for."

Did you think Courtney's apology was sincere, Bachelor fans? Like Ashley, are you hoping for less drama next season? Sound off in the comments!

For some reason, this week's video cracked me up much more than usual. I'm so with Ashley about hoping for a season with more love and less drama, but I don't think that's even a possibility anymore. I don't think even Emily will inspire that kind of goodwill in MF.

Me too, she is so cute! I love at the end when she shrugs and goes "If I were to guess I would say Ben probably picks Courtney, but I could be surprised....probably not though" She is so adorable with her facial expressions!

There are cute pictures from the Pick your Purse Party here, but I don't have the rights to click them and see them bigger.

If that video were an ice-skating program from the 90s Olympics, I'd give her 9.9s for artistic impression and 10s for technical difficulty even if I were the Russian judge. They're sticklers, they are. She totally filmed this excerpt after she saw Ben's final pick and she's totally NOT feeling this season or its women except for Lindz, Nicki, and Kacie.

:Clap: :alltens:

So hilarious at the denial that she and JP are a part of this disastrous franchise. Bwah!

"I could be surprised!!!! But probably not..." and then this face: :bigsigh:

Oh gosh! Such cuteness.

LOL. I think she, like me, was sitting at home watching that reunion footage and praying not to see their faces in it. It's the first time I've ever not wanted to see them, but all that footage was at the total opposite of the spectrum from their sweet love story. I have to imagine TPTB felt similarly, since they, in fact, did not show them. I also like to imagine that they spent all their time in the corner making out. :laughingoutlou

So true! That was the only 5 mins of TB I've watched in the past month and I was also hoping not to see them. It's like they somehow got sucked into this bizarre vortex of the show because they're nothing like the rest of the inmates. I guess instead of Haley's Comet every 100 years, TB gets Trista and Ryan every 10. :Smiley:

I have decide to just hang out in my happy place for the rest of this season. I will also go to the Emily's Season 8 part of the forum, but I am done with this Season's part of the forum unless everything doesn't go as expected.

The Jash thread was my "safe haven" last season and it will be again. Love everything about them and can't wait for their portion of the ATFR. I'll make sure to post about their portion of the ATFR in the Jash section of this site as I would hate to have this love story get lost in the muck that has become this season.

:sweetheart:
