7. BLAKE JULIAN (The Bachelorette Season 7, Ashley Hebert)

8. AMES BROWN (The Bachelorette Season 7, Ashley Hebert)

9. WILLIAM HOLMAN (The Bachelorette Season 7, Ashley Hebert)

LIMOUSINE ARRIVALS
When Holly met Blake, fireworks flew. He complimented her legs and she wished Michael was not going to be in the house so she could flirt back with Blake. Justin admitted he had a girlfriend when he was on The Bachelorete by answering that question with, “so what?” Erica walked in with her Tiara and Blake called her thick. 
Vienna arrived to the scene of her ugly public breakup and was already emotional because she did not want Jake to be there. Lucky for Vienna, she got there before him and made everyone there get on her side first. Gia came out of the limo and told Chris Harrison that she hopes Vienna is not in the house because she hooked up with her ex, Wes. When Gia saw Vienna, she simply said, “hello,” and moved on to the next person. Gia told Vienna not to be mean to Jake if he shows up and told the rest of the cast that Jake is a good guy with a big heart. 
When Kasey arrived at the house, he hugged Vienna and Justin made a barf gesture behind their back. He later told the camera that Kasey was his archnemesis on The Bachelorette and still is and that he wants Vienna and Kasey gone. He said Kasey sounds like a frog and Kermit goes out with Miss Piggy. If you watched Ali Fedotowsky’s season, you know Ali had a two on one date with Justin and Kasey and sent Kasey home on the date. Actually, she didn’t just send Kasey home; she left him standing alone atop a glacier in Iceland as she and Justin flew away together. Ouch.
Michael walked in and hugged Holly. They handled it well at first, but things got awkward when Michael said Blake looked cool, not knowing Holly has already formed a crush on him.
Jake was the last person to walk out of a limo and told Chris Harrison he is here to get closure with Vienna. Jake walked in the house and was happy to see his good friend Gia there. Kasey introduced himself and Jake said, “Oh hi, I know who you are, terrific.” Jake later went outside and got a chilled greeting from Vienna, Kasey and her friends. They all talk about the weather.
Jake told Gia that Vienna will always have a place in his heart but her cold reaction to him tonight showed him that he still affects her. Gia told Jake that he needs to be the bigger man and talk to Kasey and congratulate him on being with Vienna to avoid a fight if Kasey drinks. Jake told the camera he is afraid for his safety so he needed to talk to Kasey.
Jake pulled Kasey aside and told him it’s awesome that he and Vienna make each other happy and he does not want to stand in their way. He said he is no longer in love with Vienna but always will care for her. Kasey said he understands there are two sides to every story, but his problem is that Vienna shakes whenever Jake is around. Kasey said it doesn’t matter whether or not what Vienna told him is true; it only matters that she told him mean things about Jake and he just wants to protect Vienna.
FIRST GAME CHALLENGE
Chris Harrison set out the rules: That each week, the men vote out one women and the women vote out one man. He asked everyone to pair up for the first challenge. Obviously, Kasey and Vienna are a team, so they will play together. Holly and Michael teamed up. Alli paired up with Graham. Melissa and Blake teamed up. Kirk had a few too many drinks and paired up with Erica. Ames and Jackie decided not to partner up because they liked each other and didn’t want to be a target since they were coupling up. So, Ames decided to partner with Michelle and Jackie partnered with Jake. Jake and Gia are good friends but they also did not partner up to avoid being targets. Gia partnered with William. Poor Ella ended up with Justin.
The first challenge was a sex challenge called The Hookup. The men were raised in a harness and the women had to hold and straddle unto to their male partners. The couple who held on the longest would win immunity and a date. William gave up and was first to drop his girl, Gia at the 10 minute mark. Gia was surprised he could not hold on to her when she is so tiny. Holly was next to drop because she said she would rather be drinking. Jackie and Melissa were next to go. Erica fell next, followed by Michelle. Ella fell, leaving just Kasey and Vienna and Jake and Jackie fighting for the win. Jake’s right leg was purple from lack of blood circulation and he was about to vomit, looking for a place to upchuck without hitting Jackie. Yet he still held on. We heard Jake saying to the camera that every time he was about to drop Jackie, he pictured himself over a cliff and thought if he dropped her, she would drop 3,000 feet to her death so he kept holding on to her for rescue to arrive. We had previously heard those words on the Bachelor Pad 2 trailer and lead to believe that Jake had said those words, intending on a painful death on Vienna. Now we know that it was just clever editing instead.
Kasey’s back started hurting and and he felt numb, so, he dropped Vienna. Jake and Jackie won which was good because otherwise, Jake may have had to have his leg amputated if he had held on any longer. Vienna was pissed that Kasey dropped her and the two sat speechless in a hot tub after the loss. “Kinda was expecting more from you,” Vienna said after a long silence between the two. She followed that dagger with, “You made me a promise that you would never ever ever ever let go. Ever.” Kasey asked her to not rub things in his face. She hit back with “We made a promise we wouldn’t fight on camera.” The next morning, their fight continued and Kasey blamed Vienna for flirting with other guys. They eventually made up somehow.

ALLIANCES FORM
Jake and Jackie learned that not only are they immune from being kicked out of the show this week, but they have a third rose to give to the person of their choice to keep him/her safe. While they went on their date, Kasey and Vienna made a final four alliance with Graham and Michelle and Kasey asked them to get more people so they have more people on their side and have a majority vote on both the men and women side. They got Michael, Kirk and Justin to join the male pack. Why they would trust Justin is beyone me because immediately after agreeing to be in their pack, he told the camera that he can switch sides. He went and told the people not on their side the whole story. Alli went back to the Kasey/Vienna alliance and sold out Justin and told them what Justin just did.
JAKE AND JACKIE GET FIRST DATE
Jackie and Jake went on their date to Hollywood Boulevard, leaving a bummed Ames behind. Jake and Jackie’s names were lit up in lights at El Capitan theater and the two had dinner on the theater balcony. Over dinner, Jake opened up and told Jackie about his relationship and breakup with Vienna. Jake said his heart was broken and still wished he could get back with Vienna even after he claims she broke up with him in a tabloid. He said he wants one final conversation with Vienna since he has not seen her in a year. Jackie suggested to give Vienna the immunity rose as a peace offering and Jake said he would have to think about it. 
THIRD IMMUNITY ROSE
The next day, Jackie gave the decision power to Jake because she could not handle the pressure. While telling Gia he was thinking about giving the rose to Vienna so she remembers what a good guy he really is, he mistakenly called Gia “Vienna,” and she said, “Jake, get her out of your head.” Gia said you don’t give your enemy the rose. Jake and Jackie did end up giving the rose to Vienna, leaving Gia hurt and heartbroken. 
JAKE AND VIENNA TALK
While giving the third immunity rose out, Jake said he wants to talk to Kasey and Vienna. When in private, Jake apologized to Vienna for having raised his voice at her [on their breakup] on TV and said he did it because he was afraid he was losing Vienna. Vienna listened as she cried but once Kasey got up, she left abruptly as well. Jake felt happy with his gesture, telling the camera that he had closure and that he and Kasey are better friends. 
Vienna, on the other hand, told Kasey he is her everything and that she is going to marry him and have his babies. Later, she told the camera that hearing Jake’s  apology was torture and made her sick because he did it to look sweet on camera. She then took off her clothes and had sex with Kasey. Thanks for the rose, Jake.
GIA AND KASEY FORM UNEXPECTED ALLIANCE
Gia told Kasey aside and somehow convinced him to form an alliance with her so that neither would vote out the other. WOW–Vienna ain’t gonna like that one bit. At all. 
ROSE CEREMONY
At the voting ceremony, Vienna was sure that Gia and Justin would be voted off. The other side wanted Alli to go because she played both sides. Kasey was conflicted on who to vote for because he had promised Gia he would keep her safe by Vienna wanted Gia gone. There was a last minute scurry by Blake to get enough votes to kick out Kasey. The women had enough votes if Gia would join them. Jake tried to convince Gia who refused to help because she said she promised to keep Kasey safe.
WHO WAS VOTED OFF?
The two voted off of Bachelor Pad 2 first episode were Justin and Alli. Remember when Ali Fedotowsky told Justin to avoid walking out like a wuss on The Bachelorette and own up to things like a man? Well, he failed to do that then and he failed to walk out like a man on BP2 as well.  When he realized he was going home, he refused to shake William’s hands or hug Michael. He told Kasey to stop smiling because Kasey could not even keep his own girlfriend safe and had to get her “ex pilot boyfriend” to do the job. If that weren’t bad enough, Justin yanked the rose off of Jake’s jacket and said, “I’m walking out of here with a rose one way or another.”
The show ended with the masked man from Ashley Hebert’s season sneaking into the BP2 house, sitting on a toilet, reading a People magazine with the caption, “Ifeel so betrayed.” You could hear him say, “Poor Ashley..Bentley Bentley.”

SPOTTED: Vienna Girardi (Bachelor winner, Bachelor Pad 2) and her boyfriend, Kasey Kahl (Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad 2) were at The Grove in Los Angeles Thursday August 4, 2011, for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra.

This was the first public outing for a very happy Vienna who just got the nose job she has wanted since she was 9 years old. And let me tell you, she looks awesome! Good news for you, I was one of two photographers there, so, you’re getting pretty rare photos here! The surgery was done by plastic surgeon Dr. Franklin Rose of Houston — The father of fellow Bachelor Pad 2 star, Erica Rose.

“I always felt like I had this little face with, like, a Mr. Potato Head nose!” Giradi recently told Us magazine. “In school, they called me Pinocchio. After ‘The Bachelor,’ bloggers called me ‘horse face.’ Evil names. I even went blonde because my dark hair made my nose look bigger!”

Vienna and Kasey arrived on set today just minutes after Vienna’s ex, Jake Pavelka, had left (See Jake’s photos and interview here), but it didn’t matter to Vienna. She and Kasey looked like two happy love birds and said Bachelor Pad 2 helped strengthen their relationship. Just recently, Vienna had Tweeted: “I love my boyfriend very much @KaseyRKahl Bachelor Pad made our relationship even stronger… Thanks ABC.”

Vienna said today that she had no idea Jake would be on BP 2 until two days before they started shooting. Kasey said he was happy he was in the BP 2 house with the ex-fiances so he could protect Vienna from Jake. OH I CAN’T WAIT TO WATCH it all on BACHELOR PAD 2!

J.P. arrives first to meet Ash’s family at the Vomo Island Resort and Spa. He made a great first impression on most of them, which we all knew he would. But Ashley’s sister, Chrystie, whose opinion she has always valued, told Ash that she does not see this man as the one for her because Ash is too much for this demure man. Ash tells her sister she is being a bitch.


Meanwhile, Chrystie gives J.P. a lot of issues she finds troubling about any future relationship between him and her sister. She calls him out for being 34 and single. But she seems to like Brad Womack who is 38 and single and tells her sister she had more chemistry with Brad than with JP.

RECAP: Bachelorette ‘Men Tell All’ Didn’t Tell Us What We Wanted To Hear

Posted on by
Reply

The Bachelorette, The Men Tell All, aired Sunday July 31, 2011. Ashley Hebert, Chris Harrison, and the castoff bachelors revisited some of the most memorable moments of the season.


From masked man Jeff to bad boy Bentley Williams, this promised to be an unpredictable reunion. We all wanted to hear Bentley explain why he went on the show and why he played with Ash’s heart. But Bentley rained on our parade and was a no show, leaving this get together one of the tamest and possibly lamest in recent memory.


Here are some highlights:

WHY ASHLEY SLEEPS WITH A JAR OF VASELINE BY HER BEDSIDE
Ashley answered viewers’ question on why there was a jar of Vaseline next to her bed when she was crying over Bentley. She said she uses Vaseline as chapstick. ZZZZZZZZZZ…more much ado about nothing like the rest of this season..
RYAN P. IRKS THE MEN
Ryan admitted to being over excited on the show – especially when he got nervous. Ashley said her goodbye with Ryan (the first one around) was her hardest goodbye, especially when he asked her, “You don’t want to meet my family?”
Ryan went from being too happy on the show to having an emotional breakdown when Ashley sent him home. Blake called Ryan out on his breakdown and said, “Call me skeptical, or playing devil’s advocate, but my problem is you and I had roughly the same amount of time with her, and maybe your conversations had a lot more depth than mine, but to walk away and be so completely devastated when she said ‘no, thank you,’ I find it surprising.” Blake continued and told Ryan that after being dumped, he kept saying he wanted ‘love,’ but never said he wanted ‘Ashley,’ and felt the two were interchangeable for him. Ryan said he bought several relationship books before coming on the show and made pages of notes on what to ask a potential mate, so, his time with her was very real. “I came prepared.”
JEFF THE MASKED “IDIOT”
Jeff said that he wanted to wear the mask the first night only. Then he thought it would be funny to wear it during the rose ceremony. Chris D called Jeff an idiot for wearing a mask on the show. Tim said masks freak him out and it’s creepy. Good one Tim, but you know what else freaks me out? Men passing out drunk on their first date!

WILLIAM GOES FROM FRONT RUNNER TO SECOND MOST HATED
William, who went from having the best first date ever and almost marrying Ashley to roasting her to tears at the comedy club, said he was only able to stomach watching the first episode when it aired on TV. He could not even watch the high lowlights shown on Men Tell All. He even covered his ears during the recaps. He said he can’t watch or listen to the sound of his voice on TV. He said he made an ass out of himself on TV and can’t change what happened; he can only change himself moving forward.
Nick asked William who he wanted to be The Bachelorette, Chantal or Emily, and William said, “I was happy with Ashley.” Nick followed with, “Why are we all here?  William said, “Cause none of use can find a girl to date, cause all of us are single.” 
MR. POPULARITY, AMES
The women in the studio audience went nuts for Ames and he told Chris Harrison that he is surprised with all the attention he’s gotten since the show. He said, “Ashley said a bunch of times that I was unique and different, and I thought maybe that was a gentle way of saying, ‘this isn’t working,’ but I just hope that whatever is unique and different about me, appeals to someone.” 
Ames said his relationship with Ashley felt natural and real, and he didn’t pay attention to her relationship with other men, so, he did not realize he was behind other guys.  But don’t feel so bad about Ames, he will be appearing on Bachelor Pad 2 for another chance at love. As a parting gift, Chris gave Ames his pink Thai boxing gloves! 
BENTLEY IS A NO SHOW
Bentley was invited to the show but he declined to attend. BOOHOO BENTLEY, BOOHOO!!
Nick called Bentley’s game plan “crappy.” Blake took it where he should have and said what Bentley did to Ashley is a “terrible display of humanity.” He called him a coward, narcissist, and a liar. Mickey said, “Karma is a bitch, my friend!”
Michelle Money, who had warned Ashley before the season started about Bentley was on the show Sunday. She said it’s hard to know when things are true or not but her information from Bentley’s ex-wife was valid and hurtful enough, so, she decided to tell Ash. Michelle told Ash that he was there as a game and wanted to stay there just a week. Michelle said “we all want what we can’t have” and wondered if she had NOT warned Ash, maybe she would not have been drawn so hard to Bentley.

ASHLEY FACES HER REJECTS
Ashley, dressed in a killer sexy black dress, came on stage and said the men looked good!
She said the hardest part of this process for her is how everyone has reacted to how things went down with Bentley. She fought back tears while admitting that she felt like a fool for being played on national TV and being called ‘an ugly duckling.’ She said people have been really hard on her. Ash continued, “The hardest part is seeing how much time I wasted. If I could go back, I would change that. Wasting so much time is my biggest regret.” She asked the men for forgiveness for that part. Blake said it wasn’t so much Bentley, but he was bothered by anyone coming back for a second chance and the fact that she fell so hard for someone so fast. 

DEANNA PAPPAS, ALI FEDOTOWSKY AND JASON MESNICK SHOW ASH SUPPORT
Ali said this season was hard for her to watch because she related to Ashley in that she felt like a normal girl and wondered like Ash did if the men wanted her. Ali said the process is worth it if one can find that one guy like she has. DeAnna said the second Ash kicked out Bentley, she stood up and raised her arms and jumped up and down in joy.

ASHLEY IS HAPPY!
In case you are wondering, Ash is happy! She confirmed: “I am very very happy and I hope everyone can hold out a bit longer and can share in my enjoyment.” Well, we actually do not have to wait much longer. The season finale of The Bachelorette airs Monday night, August 1 on ABC.

Ashley Hebert Speaks Out On Constantine’s Departure

Posted on by

After the hometown dates last week on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert said her date meeting Constantine Tzortzis’ family was her favorite date and that she fell in love with his family. But on Monday night’s episode (July 25), Constantine uttered these words to Ash:

“I know what the fantasy suite means and what it implies. I knew if I got to this point and I wasn’t in love with you, I wouldn’t accept the fantasy suite. I have too much respect for you, for myself, for my family and ultimately your family also.”

He then finished his words by saying this was the end of the road for him and he left Ash alone at dinner in middle of Fiji islands.

“After such a great hometown date, I was excited to see Constantine again,” Ashley told People. “This was a critical time for us. We needed to figure things out. Throughout most of the date, I felt a huge disconnect with him.”

“I quickly realized I was holding out, looking for a romance between us that will never be there … Although I was willing to use every last minute to see if time was what we needed, Constantine didn’t surprise me by saying goodbye.”

I don’t know, she sure seemed surprised when he told her he wasn’t in love with her. Ashley does admit that Constantine’s departure made her worry about her remaining two men.

“One might think that because it was so late in the process that I’d be devastated, but I wasn’t … It only made me concerned that if Constantine could be unsure about us this late in the process, could Ben or J.P. feel the same?”

“That is why I wanted to still have a rose ceremony.”

She did hold the rose ceremony and lucky for her, both Ben Flajnik and JP Rosenbaum accepted the roses.

Who do you think Ashley will pick in the end?

The Bachelorette: Ashley Is Finally Down To Two Men – Spoiler Results

Posted on by

The Bachelorette Ashley Hebert is down to two men after tonight’s episode (Monday July 25, 2011). But before the night is over, one bachelor leaves on his own and another returns asking for a second chance at love with Ashley.

Ashley and her final three bachelors, Ben F., Constantine and J.P., traveled to the tropical island of Fiji for three overnight dates.

DATE WITH BEN F.
Ashley’s first date was with Ben upon a luxurious yacht. The two sailed to a remote island and spent the afternoon snorkeling in Pirates’ Den. They were very flirtatious and Ashley told the camera that she feels like they are on their honeymoon. She feels like she has known him forever and he said that she makes him feel like a teenager.

They then enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner  as Ben finally revealed his feelings for her. He said he is available for a relationship today whereas he was not at the beginning. He sorta said ‘I love you’ to her. It was more like, “My feelings are growing and I am on my way, you know, to the whole ‘I love you thing.” So, of course, BAM, Ashley dropped the Fantasy Suite card on Ben and he said after today, “continuing on would be wonderful.” And with that, the two of them jetted off to the hotel room.

They went for a private swim in a pool and made out. And then he carried her away out of the pool inside the room against Ashley’s voice over that she is really falling in love with him.

DATE WITH CONSTANTINE – CONSTANTINE LEAVES
READ MORE: ASHLEY SPEAKS OUT ON CONSTANTINE’S DEPARTURE!
Constantine and Ashley went for a breathtaking helicopter tour over the gorgeous Fiji Islands. They spent the day diving into vast waterfalls and later got together for a romantic dinner which turned tragic for Ashley. What is the big shocker? Constantine eliminated himself from the show and from Ashley’s life.  Why would he leave at this point?

Ashley kept asking Constantine why he has been slow to warm up to her and she also asked him if it was weird for him to be dating the same girl as his twin friend Ben. Constantine said no, because he wouldn’t be able to stop them from falling in love if that were to happen.

He said things like holding hands, hugging and kissing in relationships come easy to him–he does it without thinking but with Ash, it has not come easy. He finally said he doesn’t yet have that madly head over heels in love feelings for her. He said he knows what the Fantasy Suite is and what it implies and he had told himself that if he had gotten to this point and if he weren’t in love with Ash, he would not accept the offer. He said he wants to show her a level of respect by making this less hard than it needs to be and that this was the end of the road for him.

I’d heard that after Ashley visited his family who are Greek Orthodox, his family convinced him that it would be hard to be with someone who is not religious like Ashley. At least Constantine did the right thing and walked away before the final rose, or before the two spent the night together.

ONE BACHELOR COMES BACK ASKING FOR SECOND CHANCE
Ryan Park who Ashley eliminated during a one-on-one date before the hometown dates flew all the way to Fiji to surprise Ashley because he felt there were things unsaid between the two of them. He felt that they had something and wondered if she were regretting sending him home.

Ashley was shocked to see him and he told her that he did not see his dumping coming. When he got back home, he felt that he had to fight for a second chance. So, he called Chris Harrison and he told Ryan that she is in Fiji so, that’s why he was there. Ryan asked her to let him know if she wants more time with him.  Ashley sat quietly for a long time and just heard him out. He told her he will be in Fiji for two days and she can take her time to respond to him.  With that, he left her to her thoughts.

Ryan waited for a few, excruciatingly painful days for Ashley’s answer but she finally met with him the morning after Constantine left her. So, the fact that he came back, made Ryan look real good in her eyes. She went to his cottage and told him he is the type of guy she was looking for on paper and saying goodbye to him was really hard on her and she was distraught after. His coming back to Fiji reassured her that he is the type of guy she thinks he is but, she knew it was the right decision to let him go because she doesn’t feel that passion and she has found that with, “actually, two people.” He asked her if she is happy and she said she is.

Oh well, nice try and you can’t blame a guy for trying. Ryan’s coming back should help Ashley feel less abandoned after Constantine left the show. And, who knows, maybe this will help his chances of becoming the next Bachelor. We last saw Ryan trying to convince himself that he will find love eventually by keep telling himself, “It will happen, it will happen, it will happen.”

DATE WITH JP
Ashley surprised J.P. with a sea-to-air adventure and they flew over the panoramic seascape, landing on a private island filled with white sand. Ashley calls JP her rock, so, it was no surprise that she wanted to tell him of all her surprises of the week (Constantine leaving, Ryan coming back.) It’s like the two of them are best friends on a journey together and she feels comfortable telling him of all of her experiences along the way. Or staying silent while the two of them enjoy the magical scenery together.

Ash said she’s been counting down the days until JP got to Fiji. He said his family loved her and he feels really good about the two of them and he is ready for the end.

JP told the camera that today was a great day and even though he knows she’s still dating other guys, he’s gonna forget about that and just live in the moment. They both tell the camera that they can see themselves living the rest of their lives together.

They had dinner in middle of a jungle and she told him, “I said goodbye to two guys this week.” She said about Constantine, “we” decided there was nothing between us so “we” ended it. LOL. No Ash, he left you. But OK, tell it like you saw it. She also said she sent Ryan back home and JP was just glad it wasn’t Bentley that had come back again.

Even knowing he is one of only two guys remaining, JP still did not want to take a leap of faith and tell Ash how he feels about her. To the camera, he said he wants Ash to be his wife but that is contingent on how she feels about him and he is scared to share his feelings even though he knows he is in love with her. But he wasn’t scared enough to jump on the Fantasy Suite option! The two walked to the room, hand in hand. Ash said their villa in middle of the jungle was like their home. She changed into comfortable clothing which was just a guy’s shirt. We left the pair making out on the bed.

ROSE CEREMONY
There is no need to ask who received a rose from Ashley since Constantine eliminated himself, leaving two men for the finale. The two men who received a rose and who will be in the final two are Ben and J.P.  


Before the rose ceremony, Ash told Chris Harrison that it was harder for her to say goodbye to Ryan than to Constantine.

The Bachelorette: Who Comes Back Begging For A Second Chance?

Posted on by

On last night’s episode of The Bachelorette, we were shown a preview of next week’s episode and found out that one of the eliminated Bachelors returns to the show.

Who do you think is returning to The Bachelorette?

Don’t you worry, it is NOT Bentley Williams.

But it will be a familiar face, however; someone whom Ashley Hebert previously sent home who comes back begging for reconsideration.

From what I know, it will be Ryan Park, who Ashley eliminated during a one-on-one date before the hometown dates. He will be coming to Fiji but Ashley will not give him a second chance and he is again sent home. But you can’t blame a guy for trying. Ryan’s coming back should help Ashley feel less abandoned since rumors have it that one of her final three men takes himself OUT of competition next week.
