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

He looked confused before she handed out the second rose. :confused: :confused: :confused: Was he high on something? :confused3 All is reactions & reflexes seemed off. Ashley even took HIS arm and walked him out slowly like he would topple over if she wasn't holding him up. Then the way he opened the limo door, it was like he was going to put her in the limo. He was acting very odd. :confused3

I think he was nervous going into that rose ceremony. Either that or he got a glimpse of his reflection in that head-to-toe Khaki suit. It was borderline Miami Vice.

Still though, I think he certainly thought Ashley was much more interested in him than she truly was and therein lies his confusion. Poor guy.
 
I see Ben's family as being very protective. He went into a shell after his Dad's death and it seems like he's going thru the worse part of grieving... guilt.

I don't think he's ready for a relationship, yet, he definitely needs more grief counseling, which is sad. Been there, done that.

::yes:: :sad1:

JP is still my favorite, he's just the cutest doll baby... loved him with hair at his Bar Mitzvah. I wonder if the religion thing ever came up with them?

Yeah, you could tell she is a tiger of a Long Island, Jewish mom!


Constantine's family was a riot! Yes, I'm sure everyday is like that in their home...Greek line dancing with hundred dollar bills being thrown at you. Yup, um-hmm.

Yeah, but the clip at the end of the show, where Ashley was acting as a waitress, I don't see THAT happening in her future. She didn't go to dental school to become a waitress as a wife. :snooty:


Poor Ames though. He seems so genuinely nice and it was a little painful to see his shocked face when she chose Constantine and not him.

He looked as blindsided as Ryan was. :eek:
Poor guy. :(
Doesn't realized he dodged a bullet.
 
Ames honestly is one of the last "nice guys" out there. I feel horribly for him. I wish I could cross his path. ;) He isn't far from me....lol

I actually read somewhere that he's dating Jackie from Jake's season. Somehow I think they match! :lmao:

Jackie? She had the long brown hair, right? I remember her as being very sweet.

Did you see the commercial for Bachelor Pad with Jake and Vienna? :eek: He said something like he hopes she drops 3,000 feet or something odd. Then they show her crying and saying she hates him. Ugh, they're both attention hounds. To think I wasted time watching that season with them. Or this one for that matter with Ashley. :laughing:

:rotfl2: This sentence made me laugh out loud!! And I think you're right. She probably likes the idea of him having a big, loud family but not if she has to work tables. :laughing:

He looked as blindsided as Ryan was. :eek:
Poor guy. :(
Doesn't realized he dodged a bullet.

Yup, a HUGE bullet. I'm sure Ames is thanking his lucky stars tonight after watching this episode.

Ames honestly is one of the last "nice guys" out there. I feel horribly for him. I wish I could cross his path. ;) He isn't far from me....lol

Aw, he does seem so nice. :goodvibes I thought his date was really cute with his favorite tree and picnic. I guess Ashley felt differently...:rolleyes1
 
Is anyone else hoping Ames will be the next Bachelor? That would be a Bachelor I tune into. He is really an unusual Renaissance man. They would have to pick some girls beyond the usual crew of bimbos, they would have to recruit women with brains first and beauty next. But I bet it would be an interesting season.

I think it's pretty obvious she will pick JP. I doubt it will be for the long term though.
 
i felt for poor Ames. however, it was pretty obvious that she did not have feelings for him. they had very little physical contact. on the carriage ride, they were sitting about a foot apart! ;)

i will be really surprised if she does NOT pick JP. he seems to be the one she likes the most. their kisses are definitely different from her kisses with the others.

regarding bachelor pad--can Jake PLEASE go away? i am so sick of him!
 
I'll have to go back and read your responses - I need to get to bed.

Ames is a sweetheart, but he just doesn't fit. His sister looks just like him!
I think he wants love so bad that he's trying too hard, and it just isn't clicking for either of them. He needs to find someone who will appreciate him, not look bored when he's talking.

I really like JP and I think they look the most comfortable together, but I'm not sure he can trust his feelings. It looks like more drama coming up with "the most dramatic bachelorette ever!" :lmao:

I'm not watching Bachelor Pad -can't do anymore Vienna and Jake stuff again. It is just such cheap TV - reminds me of the stuff Fox used to do.

Just found this thread so hope you don't mind if I jump in?

He looked confused before she handed out the second rose. :confused: :confused: :confused: Was he high on something? :confused3 All is reactions & reflexes seemed off. Ashley even took HIS arm and walked him out slowly like he would topple over if she wasn't holding him up.

I kept thinking, "So... is he still concussed from the muay thai boxing, or what?"

He sure looked it. And after the final rose (Ashley, Gentlemen, this is the final rose of the evening, Ashley, when you're ready... Holy smokes Chris! Where'd they all go???... but I digress.) he looked like, "You guys got roses and I didn't, does that mean I won?"


Then the way he opened the limo door, it was like he was going to put her in the limo. He was acting very odd. :confused3

Yeah, I noticed that too. It was like he was being a gentleman and holding the door open for the lady... then, uh... oh yeah, she's not getting in...

Doesn't realized he dodged a bullet.

Oh man! You got that right!
 
Ames will be fine. He's bright and now lots of women know who he is. Lots of the people on this show are so shallow. He isn't one of them. He's lucky he escaped. I hope the editing is true and that jp gives her the boot. He doesn't deserve the crash and burn of a public engagement. He reminds me of my husband-a rock, sensitive, intelligent and good looking.
 
I can't help myself. Every time I say, I am not watching this one, I do. Although I made good on my promise and did not watch Brad the second time.

If this girl picks anyone but JP it will be the surprise of the century. No chemistry with anyone but him. The other guys seem really nice but no chemistry.

Also when they cast these things, do you have to be loaded to get a hometown date? Every house was big and nice and decorated! Wow! Ames house, Wowza! An indoor swimming pool and it was so big. I love how WASP'y his family was. They said oh wow, you got to go to Thailand again, you love it there and how he went to the best schools. Even though JP's house was the most normal, it was on Long Island and very nice.
 
I was SO sad for Ames last night...not because I really think he'd be good with Ashley but just because he seems so sweet and kind. I hope the Jackie rumors are true, and that they're very happy together! I think that's a MUCH better match! :goodvibes

Come on in! The more the merrier. This is a really funny thread when we get going.

I think he comes back though. In the previews, she opens the door and is so happy to see someone back. Unless it's Bentley again. . . :eek: :faint:

The producers probably promised J.P. a lot if he came back to finish the show. :scratchin

They actually did have one bachelor who lived in a tiny NYC studio. I think Trista was the Bachelorette. She was so uncomfortable sitting in that guys apartment. The camera crew barely fit in.

I remember the guy turned, excited to see something and the Bachelorette said, "What is it? A rat?" :scared1: :rotfl2:

She obviously did not pick him. :rotfl:


IIRC, Ames is a stock broker. That accounts for his money.

Now that's a fantastic idea! I'd watch his season, he doesn't come across as slimey like some of the other bachelors who shall remain nameless...*ahem* Jake! :laughing:

I think it's pretty obvious she will pick JP. I doubt it will be for the long term though.

I used to think so but now I think she might actually choose Ben. JP is a such a cutie though, I'm sure he won't have any trouble getting dates if Ashley sends him packing.

i felt for poor Ames. however, it was pretty obvious that she did not have feelings for him. they had very little physical contact. on the carriage ride, they were sitting about a foot apart! ;)

I know, Ames is such a great guy and Ashley doesn't deserve him. Their physical contact was non-existent! It was awkward to say the least.

i will be really surprised if she does NOT pick JP. he seems to be the one she likes the most. their kisses are definitely different from her kisses with the others.

I think they have the most physical chemistry by far. Yet somehow I don't know if she'll pick him or not. I'm not convinced. Plus they're all too good for her anyway. :laughing:

regarding bachelor pad--can Jake PLEASE go away? i am so sick of him!

Ugh, no kidding! My thoughts exactly. He is like a ticking time bomb. If I were Vienna I'd be sleeping with one eye open on Bachelor Pad.

Ames is a sweetheart, but he just doesn't fit. His sister looks just like him!
I think he wants love so bad that he's trying too hard, and it just isn't clicking for either of them. He needs to find someone who will appreciate him, not look bored when he's talking.

He truly is! I agree, he wants to be in love and it looked forced when he was with Ashley. Though, really, Ashley is the worst bachelorette in history so maybe that something to do with it. :laughing:

I really like JP and I think they look the most comfortable together, but I'm not sure he can trust his feelings. It looks like more drama coming up with "the most dramatic bachelorette ever!" :lmao:

Me too, he seems like such a sweetie. But I just don't see them together for the long haul. Heck, Ashley is so indecisive and insecure that I can't imagine anyone who'd be able to put up with that for a great length of time.

I'm not watching Bachelor Pad -can't do anymore Vienna and Jake stuff again. It is just such cheap TV - reminds me of the stuff Fox used to do.

Did you see the clip for it last night? :eek: I cannot STAND either of those two fools.

Just found this thread so hope you don't mind if I jump in?

Hi there! :goodvibes

I kept thinking, "So... is he still concussed from the muay thai boxing, or what?"

:rotfl2: Maybe he was still punch drunk last night! He looked so confused!

Yeah, I noticed that too. It was like he was being a gentleman and holding the door open for the lady... then, uh... oh yeah, she's not getting in...

:laughing: He is quite the gentleman! Must be all those manners he learned in boarding school. I didn't even think people sent their kids to boarding schools! :laughing:

Ames will be fine. He's bright and now lots of women know who he is. Lots of the people on this show are so shallow. He isn't one of them. He's lucky he escaped. I hope the editing is true and that jp gives her the boot. He doesn't deserve the crash and burn of a public engagement. He reminds me of my husband-a rock, sensitive, intelligent and good looking.

Completely agree. Ames is a bachelor that actually has his brains where they should be...

I have a feeling JP won't be able to handle the intimate island overnight dates that she's having with him and two other guys. He seems like such a genuine guy too. :thumbsup2

I can't help myself. Every time I say, I am not watching this one, I do. Although I made good on my promise and did not watch Brad the second time.

Oh, you didn't miss much by not watching Brad's second one! Let me summarize for you. Brad tries to convince the world that he's ready to fall in love this time, you know, for real. But he also apparently needs his therapist to follow him around on the show in case he needs affirmation. Lots of girls cry, he sends lots of them home and picks the one girl who has the most emotional baggage and isn't ready to really let go of it. Oh, and now he's not engaged anymore. :confused: :laughing:

If this girl picks anyone but JP it will be the surprise of the century. No chemistry with anyone but him. The other guys seem really nice but no chemistry.

I still think Ben will give JP a run for his money.

Also when they cast these things, do you have to be loaded to get a hometown date? Every house was big and nice and decorated! Wow! Ames house, Wowza! An indoor swimming pool and it was so big. I love how WASP'y his family was. They said oh wow, you got to go to Thailand again, you love it there and how he went to the best schools. Even though JP's house was the most normal, it was on Long Island and very nice.

:rotfl2: This whole post made me laugh!!! :rotfl: I agree, I thought the same thing. Apparently this round of bachelors are loaded!

I was SO sad for Ames last night...not because I really think he'd be good with Ashley but just because he seems so sweet and kind. I hope the Jackie rumors are true, and that they're very happy together! I think that's a MUCH better match! :goodvibes

I hope the rumor is true, Jackie was very sweet! He deserves someone who knows their own mind too, unlike Ashley...:rolleyes1

I think he comes back though. In the previews, she opens the door and is so happy to see someone back. Unless it's Bentley again. . . :eek: :faint:

Oh please don't use that "B" word again! My gag reflex is kicking in! Although, now that I think about it, I wonder what would've happened if Bentley had said that he loved Ashley and wanted a second chance. She'd probably have ditched all those guys in second.

The producers probably promised J.P. a lot if he came back to finish the show. :scratchin

:laughing: It would have to be a lot! Though, I'm kind of thinking maybe it's Ryan or Lucas who returns since of course, as soon as sent them home she started second guessing herself. :sad2: I really think she is incapable of making a decision on her own. Just look at the clips for next week's show...she looks completely disheveld because her sister doesn't agree with her decision. She's easily swayed I think.

IIRC, Ames is a stock broker. That accounts for his money.

Ok, that explains it. Thanks! :goodvibes
 
The thing that struck me about her date with Ames was the way they kissed. It reminded me of when I was little and was making my Barbie and Ken dolls kiss. Their lips touched but they didn't move at all. Their was ZERO passion in those kisses.

What drove me INSANE last night was that Ashley is incapable of listening to someone else speak without chewing her lips or the inside of her cheeks or contorting her face in some bizarre fashion. I hope she watches it back and realizes how distracting it is to other people.
 
i'm guessing the previews are misleading and the drama does not involve JP. remember when the preview indicated it was him saying, "i don't know if i'm ready to propose"? but then, the next week, it was clearly Constantine (i think. or Ben) saying it on camera.

i also think that JP loves to be in love, so i wonder if it will truly last. he seems like a sweet guy, but just seems to fall pretty easily. i hope he doesn't get his heart broken. although, i'm sure there are thousands of girls willing to mend it now! lol!
 
I thought Ames was drunk or something when Ashley gave that last rose to Constantine. He looked so confused! But then he seemed so sober and normal in the limo. :confused3 He probably knew he'd be be going home that night, tried to "act" confused and hurt, but overdid it.

He is such a nice guy. I hope he finds someone perfect for him.
