May 23, 2011 - The UNOFFICIAL "The Bachelorette" - NO SPOILERS, please!

[Goofydiane]

I'm so glad that I'm not playing a drinking game that requires a shot for each time she say's Bentley. I would be passed out by now. She's giving the guy just what he wanted - attention.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Ben and Constantine are killing me!! Team "Bachi" which apparently translated meant idiot! Too hilarious!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

OMG, please Ashley, erase the words "Bentley" and "closure" from your vocabulary now!

 

[Cat0727]

Oh man this episode is bad. Ashley is painful to watch. What did Bentley say that made her angry? I wasn't paying attention and missed it.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Ashley is chowing down while JP is pouring out his heart?? Nice. Did she not eat all day or something?

 

[Snoopygirl]

I am sick to death of hearing the word BENTLY.......she needs to get over it!!!

 

[Imzadi]

Watching it right now. . .

When Chris told Ashley that Bentley was there in the hotel, Ashley said, "Shut up! - -" Then I swear a completely BLANK look came over her face & emotions, like "I forgot my next line. . . What am I supposed to say?"

Oh, it gets better. Just watch the exchange between her and Bentley!

And the Emmy goes to.....NOT!!!!!

Show was a LITTLE better as it went on. I'm so glad Mickey left, there was nothing between them. I don't get what she sees in Ben and Constantine, the twins, they and Ames look so uncomfortable and geeky with her. And that KISS in the elevator...

I couldn't even watch it!

The only one left worth anything is JP and he's WAY too good for her.

Talk about baaaaad acting, right? It was painful to watch. Bentley is all "maybe we should end it here and put a period." What is his fixation with punctuation anyway??

My respect for Mickey went up when he left on his own. I'm sure he's watching it now and thinking THANK GOD!

Ya, the twins can go especially with Ben's awkward kiss! It was very forced and uncomfortable looking.

Ames was acting really strange in the elevator. Was he drunk or something? It looked like two mannequins kissing!

The only one left worth anything is JP and he's WAY too good for her.

JP is much too good for her. Run away JP, run away!

 

[Imzadi]

Bentley: "Tell me everything. Tell me what I missed. . . Like, umm, I can tell you I've been WORKING. . . uh, yea, that's about it."

Not: "Oh, as soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to see my daughter. I missed her so much. I scooped her up," etc.

This is from the guy who left because he missed his daughter. But he doesn't bring her up. Ashley has to ask.

Then he's like, "(Oh yeah, her.) She's alright."

Their body language when they first sat down across from each other is NOT like two people who have been pining away for each other - even not Ashley's body language.

IF she even really felt anything real for him at all, what occurred to me earlier was how when you tell some women that that guy is a married man, they want him even MORE. It is the fact that he IS unavailable that draws him.

Michelle Money saying he would be there for the wrong reasons was the equivalent as saying: "He's a married man. He will reject you in the end."

Many women DO fall in love with the married man. Painstakingly so. Not just have casual affairs. That knowing that the man will leave in the end is easier for some women to bear, than the unknown of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Ashley keeps saying she's worried the guys don't really want her. It's easier to pick the sure thing out of 25 guys, the one she KNOWS will reject her and put all her love into him. She's guaranteed heartbreak, which is what she fears anyway.


However, that being said, she caught on to him really quickly. Too quickly. Unless the producers edited a BIG part out, or as 3prettyprincesses said below, they showed her the Bentley tapes:

I have a feeling the producers or someone gave her a sneak peek at some footage...

OR that she's been in on this all along, which is what many of us suspected all along, she processed through all her emotions from heartbreak, to anger & betrayal, to understanding to acceptance, really, really quickly.

My guess is the last. This was a BADLY scripted (and ACTED, "Most unexpected Bachelorette ever," season with this badly inserted Bentley storyline.


Still watching. . .

 

[Imzadi]

How many times can she say,

"I need to know if these guys are here for ME.

"I so hope these guys are here for me.

"These guys are here for ME."

She says this as many times as "Bentley, Bentley, Bentley."

Shut UP already!

 

[Imzadi]

Oooo! She lost J.P.the moment she told him that she saw Bentley. (She actually said it THREE times.) And that she didn't want to leave unfinished business, because really Bentley mattered more than J.P.

You can tell from his facial expression. He squinted at her for a moment in silence, and he got a pulled back look in his eyes. He says all the right things afterward, to her and in his TV interview, but he's not there anymore. He's distanced himself from her inside.

My satellite went out right before the rose ceremony. Who went home besides Mickey earlier?

Blake went home. I think he should have voluntarily left along with Mickey, rather than waiting to get the boot. I'm surprised Lucas didn't leave also. I think if he hadn't been given a rose already, that he would have left.

I think ALL the guys that are left are staying only to see who will win. None of them are really in it for her anymore. She's not that great a catch. She's whiny, insecure, self absorbed, and high maintenance.

She's kind of the epitome of, "Oh, no wonder why you are available to be on this show."

Yes I noticed that too. He wears his heart on his sleeve.

ME, ME, ME, ME I love how shocked she was that the guys "weren't excited that I was ready to tell them the truth and move on!"

That was a self-sabotage move if I ever saw one!

I think Blake and Mickey should have left together too. They probably had producers running around offering them bonuses to stay or else they wouldn't have had enough guys to finish out the season.

I can't believe how contrived this is. Did anyone else notice how perfectly Ashley was framed by the lights as Mickey sailed away?

Oh and someone else already said it (sorry, forgot to quote) but could Ames be any more awkward? I think I would have been scared in the elevator! And what happened to his clothes for the Rose Ceremony? I think he borrowed a jacket from a Chinese guy and a pair of white pants from another one. The jacket was too small and short, the pants were too big and too short and had static cling - someone should have helped him.

 

[Disney999]

I hope Ashley ends up with JP. I think he's so cute and really cares for her! I hope Ashley is finally over the Bentley fiasco. It was beyond annoying and really ridiculous. But I think that MIckey and Lucas got a little too mad at Ashley. She wasn't trying to be deceitful or waste their time. But since Mickey felt betrayed then I think it was a good decision for him to leave. http://whosright.com/poll/bachelore...ryan-park-or-lucas-daniels-and-mickey-mclean#

That was REALLY noticeable and he seems to me to be a guy who is always dressed nicely/properly.

[Magic Mom]

I had to stop watching. She is an idiot. She isn't ready for a relationship if she has a meltdown over a cheesey jerk that dumped her. She need to just tattoo "I heart Bently" across her forehead and get it over with. Then she can go back to the states and stalk him until he gets a restraining order or his own reality TV show, whichever comes first.
