Jesus. Had there been that many Greeks at Thermopylae, the Persians never woulda made it through.

Yeah, the wife and I are convinced he's the only person who doesn't know he is gay.Has anyone commented yet that Ames is gay? He's got to be the gayest guy I've ever seen on this show outside of Ryan.He'd make a GREAT best girlfriend for Ashley. But there's zero spark there, and I agree he's clearly getting booted here.![]()
sweet. based on reality steve it seems like blake will be a hero for most of the 6 episode arc... what i'm reading he does can't be good for his dental career unless he plans to specialize in 20-39 y.o. females/gheysPlanning on it, yes.Pickles - will you still be blogging for bach pad 2: return of dentist?

Hold on here....what's exactly is a YouTube channel and how do I get one?The trip to Ashleyland is going to reveal more Whiskey Tango roots than a Kid Rock song. I'll never forget a summer camp outing in the heart of Maine where we were told to 'be very careful around the rednecks'. I was SHOCKED to learn that rednecks were not relegated to the south, but after a few summers up there, I learned otherwise.So really, the choice now comes down to only two, since I'm convinced Ben and Constantine are the same exact person. JP Wins! He's just enough of a cheese ball to win her over and I could easily see him being talked into every chick flick movie out there without much of a fight. I can also see him spending forkfulls of dollars to win Ashley an oversized stuff animal at whatever podunk carnival she makes him take her to. They're the couple that will put their hands in each other's back Guess Jeans pockets. Water seeks its own level and I think the two of them will not only get engaged but will be one of the very few couples to tie the knot.And did I really see a preview for Jake and Vienna again? Good leaping lord, ABC...first you bring back Charlie's Angels and now this?

A "channel" is just YouTube speak for your collection of videos. We've known JP wins for eons, but I'm curious to see how that shakes out later on. I agree that they have a better than average shot to actually get married. The limiting factor is him, though. We've learned that he gets antsy and throws little tantrums. You're seeing him on his best behavior for sure, whereas I think Ashley is pretty much what you see on tv.Hold on here....what's exactly is a YouTube channel and how do I get one?The trip to Ashleyland is going to reveal more Whiskey Tango roots than a Kid Rock song.

Romo has all his hair and doesn't suck so bad at life.JP has a Tony Romo thing going on.
JP is one of these freaks that shaves his full head of hair. I don't get it.He definitely bears a resemblance to Romo. He might have a better passer rating too.Romo has all his hair and doesn't suck so bad at life.JP has a Tony Romo thing going on.
Totally agree, but also think that what we're seeing as a woman who is DESPERATE to find somebody who will love her and JP - for all his emotional strangeness - has at least shown her a portion of his heart. The flop & mop twins haven't done anything to make her believe they love her. JP has at least sold her on that. And once she makes this decision, she's not going to double back on it. She's not exactly the female equivalent of Brad Womack, and I sincerely mean that, I really do. Brad had options. This is Ashley's big break and her options are what? Finding love in the dance studio? Cleaning teeth? JP could go Burning Bed on her and she'd still stay with him. This thing is going to cross the finish line and while we might read about some domestic violence along the way, these two have codependency written all over them.A "channel" is just YouTube speak for your collection of videos.

Yeah, I don't get the hair shaving absent any male pattern baldness. That's odd to me. But hey, they love to roller skate!JP is one of these freaks that shaves his full head of hair.

I don't think we've seen JP offer up much of his heart yet. He's 34 and lived in New York for many years now. He's not a neophyte to the dating scene. There are some pics of JP on NYC socialite sites of him hanging with some stunners. I'm not seeing the codependency out of him. He probably wants to find someone that he's compatible with, but I think once they're back in their normal element, a more critical and selfish JP will emerge. I agree with your assessment of Ashley. She's 27, cute but not hot, and seems more than willing to throw her career out the window to be with someone that will love her. I also think, if the stories are true about her ex, she has truckload of baggage leading into this relationship. JP will have all the hand in this one.

I think that was his step dad.
I was kind of wondering how Ames got into the Ivies with poor boarding school grades, but I'm guessing connnections and great test scores (plus a slight variation on what constitutes 'poor grades') had him pointed there from early on.Grandmother, aunt and two cousins of mine went to Wellesley....and boy do/did they ever let you know it.'Mr. Pickles said:Ames' mom
Former head of the USTA and Wellesley grad. Some preferred stock there. My mom has an associates degree from a technical college.![]()

I kind of agree here. When the whole Bentley thing came to the surface and all the other guys were pissed off about it, JP was playing the "let's stop and have some sympathy for what she's going through" card. That, to me, connotes caring on some deeper level and I think that's exactly what she's looking for - someone who will put her needs before his own.

Forgot about that! That was....perfect!the awkward handshake as they got up from the bench...not good. poor Ames.

They always have auditions.. for the rest of the cast. I don't think the uploader has any information on this. He pretty much just recited the plea for auditions that ABC put out. Mike Fliess has said they'll never go back to an unknown lead, and that make sense. They probably could start over this time given how weak everyone was.

I think she was relieved to let him go. Being from Maine, she must know that she'd never fit in with Ames' family. Maybe if she was from Oregon she wouldn't know any better, but I think the family visit overwhelmed her and left her feeling an urgency to part with Red Pants. No, there wasn't any chemistry, but even if there was, Ashley would have felt inferior at every family gathering and she knew it.That dismissal was brief and emotionless from her.

How far down the chain are they normally willing to go? Is it usually someone in the final 3 or 4? If so, they have nothing to work with here.
