Lost, I came here to tell you that your avi and signature are amazing. What the heck happened to those two? :Frown: :overreaction:

Thanks! I don't know, but they'd of made a gorgeous couple!

I really like him in these two photographs. Love the look - clothing wise. He looks way better with a cleaner shave.

I'm crossing my fingers that he is a good guy and that we don't have another David Good type guy on our hands (or TV screens actually).

Kikill, LOL!! NOW I see why she got rid of him! Wow look at him, just don't see how she did, but some just don't go well together...wish I could pick her F1! JMO but I have a feeling Arie was very early on and that didn't give the other guys a chance.

Sort of like JP and Ashley. If that were true (for Em and ANY of the guys), I'd be happy for her, because look how well it turned out for Ashley!

I'd say more like "Bentley" and Ashley, since Ash knew about him from the beginning...and she fell for him. If he wouldn't have acted like he did, she'd of probably ended up with him instead of JP. Because of those circumstances and JP being there for her and supporting her, she fell for JP. :Smiley:

I think the Jash fans will disagree with that!

Yeah, really don't feel like revisiting this whole topic, but I'm just going to say that had Bentley not left, Ashley would have had over 6 weeks to try to figure out whether some serious incompatibility issues with him could have truly been overcome (Ashley moving to SLC and becoming a Mormon? I don't think so), not to mention that he wasn't even really into her in the first place, and I expect she would have figured that out eventually. I know some people still assume that a week with Bentley was enough time to determine the whole course of the season, but I think it has to be backed up by the 6 or 7 weeks that follow as well. Likewise, Brad fell for Emily right away (and perhaps Emily did for Arie), but if things didn't go that smoothly for the remaining time of filming, it's quite possible that the end result would have been different, which is what I clearly believe would have happened with Ashley/Bentley had that played out longer.

The Bentley thing isn't even worth arguing, TBH. But to your original point, I definitely think that once Ashley started writing JP daily love letters in Week 3, it was over for the rest of the guys. Ali has also spoken of knowing really early on that Roberto was her guy, and I think it's pretty obvious that Jillian didn't want anyone but Ed by Week 3 or 4. Based on those precedents, I would assume that Emily also was able to identify her F1 early on, and all the other guys have just been competing for F2 ever since. I know Fleiss and Millsy have said it's a horserace and there's no frontrunner, but I just find that very hard to believe, since that's just not the way things work on the 'Ette.
