"Season finale"
Well, no surprises to wrap up the season. We saw it coming, with Ben's rejection and Ashley accepting J.P.'s proposal.

Ashley's sister was perhaps the surprise of the episode, piece of work that she is. She nearly sabotaged J.P.'s efforts.

I think Ben is the better man (and Ames from earlier better yet), but I also think, for better or worse, J.P. and Ashley deserve each other. They've been tabloid fodder and it's going to continue.

On the other hand, Ben can do better, with a lady of a character more like his. I like his eventual chances of a long, stable relationship better.

Finale recap here.

Should I bother covering Bachelor Pad 2? It's more like Bachelors & Booby Bikini Bawlers. The previews almost horrify me.

Ashley's sister is a complete BEYATCH!!! Hay-zoose H. Key-riced, there are things you just don't say and things you just don't do and lines you just don't cross when you're the older sister. Well this idiotic witch not only crossed all the lines, she bulldozed them the hell out! She could have f---ed up the whole works, and she still could, and it's not her own life she'd be ruining, it's her sister's. With a sister like that Ashley needs no enemies, and I hope Ashley and the rest of the family told her where to get off.

She's been married and divorced, after all, which makes her the relationship non-expert. Good riddance for ex-hubby.

Ashley's sister is pretty! Who knew!? I didn't remember that from Brad's season. Cover those heinous tatts and you have a pretty woman. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Ashley's pretty.

The sis judged JP on that scant prolly half hour dinner. She was too judgmental. She said that he was too old for Ashley. 7 years difference? Pffftt. that's not too old. Anyway, Ashley went for JP. Their Chemistry is just immense.

As for Ben, she had a face filled with sorrow as he approached. She started to speak, saying only, "Ben . . . " and he stopped her. He said, "Before you say anything" and then he told her how much loved her and then proposed. Ashley's not at fault for letting him propose when she knew she was going to reject him. She tried to send him away first. He was gung ho on proposing.

Btw, where is Ashley's biological father? Did they ever mention? Just curious.

That finale was ridiculous. I sat there with my mouth open, shouting curses at the screen. Really? REALLY?!! I was incensed because . . .

The producers couldn't find shade. What the frack? The interviews, the proposals--no shade. Poor Ashley's brother is mopping his head, Ashley is sopping up the sweat from her cleavage, but producers can't move them inside or under a tree? Shameful!

What a boring season. Thank goodness for Bentley.

5. "RE: Season finale"
I knew the ending beforehand, but I was still surprised. Surprised at just how cruel Ashley was to Ben. I liked Ashley and JP. I liked JP. I thought there were many times during the season where JP was definitely the frontrunner, and it showed.

But . . .

Here's a girl who, in one season, mentioned Bentley more times than Obama mentioned change in his entire campaign, and Bentley was there for mere weeks. So when, exactly did Ashley "fall"? If it was so early on, why did she continue to lead Ben on the way she did. The lubing with the sunscreen in the previous episode and the mud in this one was way too much. While my heart absolutely broke for him, I was also so happy he left the way he did.

17. "Ben Deserved Better"
Agree that the overt sexual behavior with Ben, when she had already decided on JP was pretty disgusting and again, very immature. All the seasons try to keep you guessing, getting it down to the final 2, and actually editing to making it look like the loser will be the winner - but I don't recall another season where the deception was this unnecessarily over-the-top. These scenes didn't even need any fancy editing. Ashley showed her true colors by apparently deciding she could provide the necessary deception all by herself. Ugh. Ben deserved much better than that. He's so better off without her.

On that last date when she was rolling on the bed with Ben, engulfing him with her legs, I couldn't help notice the 2 big mosquito bites she had on her upper thigh. For me it was hilareously distracting.

So the rejected one finally had something to say - all I remember from previous times is the leaving/crying whatever.

I've said all along (since I started watching a few seasons ago) that it's crazy that the Bachelor or Bachelorette expects all the suitors to fall in love - & never seems to give a thought to how they will feel when rejected.
It's a very selfish concept - but makes good tv watching.

Oh, & Ashley professed that she was in love; and then said she had not made her decision yet. Did that mean she was in love with both men? or she knew she was in love but didn't know with which one?

Supposedly, they've set a wedding date, towards the end of 2012 with the exact date not made public. But, then again, maybe even they're not sure based on their responses during their live appearance on Kimmel last night. They pretty much repeated the same thing on Good Morning America this morning.

Suffice it to say that the invitations haven't been sent out yet. In the meantime, they're tabloid fodder.

10. "RE: Let's get to the important part."
Tabloid fodder indeed !!!!! But, look at the Vienna sausage and Jake. Yesterday's news. I think if Ashley and JP can keep it together until the next season of idiots come back, they might be able to make it. Look at Trista and Ryan. They are a great couple. Why does everyone have to be such "haters" ? ( Not the poster here. Just the public in general. ) God forbid, that someone finds love in a different manner than the norm. 10 years ago, who would have thought og internet dating? It seems impossible to find happiness when you are in the publics eyes. Someone out there always tries to tear others happiness apart. These people need to get a real life. Like I said, I only hope and pray that Ashley and JP can keep it together for awhile. I know at the time it will be extremely difficult for them, but again, like I said later on they will eventually be yesterdays news.

11. "RE: Let's get to the important part."
Yup, the haters just have to have someone to hate.

Btw, I met my husband by online dating 15 years ago.

I hope Ashley and JP make it, but living with someone 24/7 in the *real* world is much different from being swept off your feet and "falling madly in love" with a person in exotic locations across the globe. Let's see if they're still together a year from now. If so, great. If not, that just means that they're human - as human as the rest of the population that gets together (in any circumstance) and then breaks up.

I think that if Ashley & J.P. last at least a year, they would have a good chance of having a wedding. But as Ants put it, it's harder living with someone 24/7 than it is to fall madly in love with them while in exotic locations around the globe (probably one reason why Jake & Vienna flamed out quickly -- they found out they had to live with the "real person" 24/7!) Trista & Ryan probably succeeded because they could live with each other 24/7 and not drive each other crazy. Ali & Roberto seem to be on the same path as well. Hopefully, Ashley & J.P. will follow in their footsteps -- but I'm a bit skeptical if only because I've seen so many couples who fell in love on this show break up.

13. "RE: Let's get to the important part."
Ashley and her sister are quite the odd couple... Ashley appears to be more of a naive straightlaced...while her sister looks like she can go hang out with Kat Von D on Ink and swap Jesse James stories.

I get the feeling that her sister might be right. I wish Ashley the best, but her judgment with men doesn't seem to be all that great. And, just watching JP... I feel like he's pretty thin-skinned like something boils under the surface. Also, in normal life, the sister doesn't get the opportunity to talk to her sister in private...here, she has to do it in front of the cameras. She probably should have gone for Ames...smart nerdy guy who makes good money. He seemed pretty good natured throughout everything.

16. "Sister Was Right"
Agree with you completely.

Surprisngly, since someone with so many (particularly)hideous tats can hardly be assumed to have good judgement, I found myself agreeing with Sis about JP. What she said made perfect sense. I've been a JP fan since the start, and as we've said in previous week's posts, he is one sexy kisser. His passionate side came through loud and clear and it grabbed Ashley as I'm pretty sure it would have grabbed me. But as we know, that so fades. JP seems very mature (more than just age), structured, and steadfast. Ashley still seems like a little girl at this point, still not in control of her emotions.....rash decisions then with immature highs and lows when things don't go her way. Her moods swings may be cute now, especially since everything is easier to deal with in an all-expense paid tropical vaca. And in this temporary situation, it was a competition as well and don't we all like to win? Back in the real world, I think she'll end up driving him nuts. She kept calling herself "goofy". I think it's more like immaturity, with a little ADD thrown in.

I hope they do themselves a favor and don't rush into a marriage that won't outlast the passion.

Except for the fact that Sis is already divorced with kids (plural) and again, all those low rent tats, she might have made a more interesting Bachelorette. She really is the prettiest one in the family, and showed some very welcome mature judgement in this case.

20. "RE: Let's get to the important part."
JP might have something boiling under the surface, but I think it's about the same as what Ashley has. During Brad's season, Shawntel was doing a short film with him. He was tied to a post, she came in, karate kicked some bad guys, saved the day for Brad and kissed him. They showed Ashley saying, "This is like torture." Now, think about JP's face during the wedding photo session when Ashley was being photographed by one of the other guys. Yeah, something was simmering under the surface, but it was jealousy that came from watch your S.O. with another. Ashley and JP aren't able to contain that emotion. Well, at least it shows how passionate they are.

There's no direct hating involved here -- at least not for the new couple. I just feel the producers (and Harrison) have realized they gain more publicity/ratings from failure than success and cast accordingly.
