Let’s just start off by me stating that if Ashley says “Bentley” one more time I’m going to scream. I think the producers of The Bachelorette are trying to make us insane! Well, it’s working.
And we’re off to talk about the rest of Monday’s The Bachelorette.
I was excited to see Ashley go on a date with Ben F. because I actually hadn’t gotten a feel for him yet. When they were at the orphanage on the last show I thought they meshed well while painting the elephant scene. It seemed like a nice relaxed date. It was very cute while they were sitting outside the temple wishing they could kiss. I guess the custom was that it wasn’t allowed. So they had a mental kiss. I thought it was very cute. They did finally kiss at their dinner, but I didn’t see much passion, but she said it was there.
Next they were off on the group date. This was my favorite part of the evening. All these guys working out getting ready for who-knows-what. I think I felt most concerned about Ames because he’d rather talk through a problem than physically fight. I was pretty amused that he ended up with the pink boxing attire!
I think the fighting they do is good for them to burn off their pent up energy, but I’d hate seeing these guys beat the snot out of each other to impress me. What if one of them got hurt, you’d have to carry that weight around. On the other hand, if you’re one of the guys, you have to live with the guy who kicked your butt. Unfortunately, Ames gets clocked and is down for the count. Thankfully he comes back during the evening time and guys are so cool to welcome him back! You can tell they really like him. You know, the more I look at Ames, the more he looks like Harry Connick Jr.
Ok, we need to pause here while I say one name…LUCAS!
Now that I’ve got that off my chest:
SCREAM Yep, you guessed it. Ashley has started saying the “B” word. Here she’s chatting with the guys who are still there and she’s bringing up “his” name. Oh for Pete’s sake.
Then it was time for the 2-on-1 date. William & Ben C headed out for a not so romantic date. I have to admit, William who had me from “hello” has become a thumbs-down dude for me. His appeal tanked for me during the roast and he hasn’t redeemed himself yet. In fact, this date has caused him to seriously take a downward spiral for me. He calls out Ben for saying he’s going to check out online dating when he gets home or some such business. It annoyed me, but Ashley took action and sent Ben home. What cracked me up is a short time later as William is trying to rekindle the flame, Ashley seems bored and sends him home.
Hmmm, picture this…me SCREAMING again.
I can’t remember anyone from past Bachelor & Bachelorette shows pining for someone that they let go so early and who was warned against. If I were on Twitter, I’d use a hashtag that said, #sobeyondme
As they went into the rose ceremony I just couldn’t figure out who the guy would be that she’d let go. Right now my favorites are Lucas and J.P. I’m fickle and that could change with the next episode! In the end, I wasn’t surprised at all that Nick went home. I never saw him on a date alone with Ashley and have no idea what the guy is like.
Next week I have a feeling we will actually see “B” and Ashley get some closure. At least as much closure as she’ll give it. I swear if he’s all she talks about after she sees him I will throw my keyboard at the tv. I’m done with the guy, the world is done with the guy, it’s time for little Miss Ashley to be done with him too! Goodbye and good riddance!
Who do you think will end up going on the home town dates?
When the warm weather hits, the first thing the boys ask is, “When can we have a bonfire?” That means it’s time for me to go get our s’mores fixin’s: Hershey’s chocolate candy bars, marshmallows, and graham crackers.
