I wonder if they knew that Ryan still needed closure and encouraged him to go to Ashely. The whole point being that Ryan will be the next bachelor and it gave him some more tv minutes, and kind of a background??
Constantine did surprise me. Although thinking back, I'm not sure why. I didn't see much spark there. He is a top notch guy, hopefully he finds true love.
I don't know what is being edited and what is not, but the chemistry between Ashley and JP is undeniable.
