THE BACHELORETTE: ASHLEY & The Guys Head To Thailand: Sightseeing, Orphanage Rebuilding and Sea Kayaking
So, it’s time for a fresh start after last weeks turmoil. Ashley and the guys are saying goodbye to their mansion and headed to Thailand. Sadly Ashley is still thinking about that sorry excuse for a man, Bentley… BOOOO.
Constantine gets lucky and scores the first one on one with Ashley, however, that’s where the luck ends… apparently a huge wave put a dent in their plans to go out on the sea. I think things ended up better in the long run though, they get to do some sight seeing and really get to know each other.
The next date is a group date for Ben F. JP. Blake. Ben C. Mickey, Lucas, William, Ryan, Nick… apparently they’ll be making the world a better place, this also leaves Ames with the other one on one date. The group date is a really inspirational moment. The guys and Ashley are taking the time to renovate an orphanage in Thailand. While the good deeds are being done, Ryan seems to be gaining a few enemies with his micromanaging ways. Ashley is a nice person, but her insecurities really make her unattractive on tv… I think she is really her own worst enemy. On a more positive note, watching the look of delight on the children’s faces was really rewarding to see.
After all that hard work it’s time to partay… Ashley and the guys head to a bar for some drinks and talking. Ben F is taking his confidence to the next level and scores some one on one time with Ashley and earns a kiss. Meanwhile, Ryan is still not doing so hot with the guys and J.P. is giving a standoffish vibe but I think it’s more so the jealousy that he was having…. he gets to open up on some one on one time and score a kiss (sloppy seconds) with Ashley. The men are starting to reveal their fangs, lol. Just as Ashley is about to hand out the rose, Ryan takes the time to pull her aside and aggravates the men further… his ploy wasn’t fruitful as Ben F. walks away with the rose from the group date.
Back at the Villa, Ames receives his date card. When he arrives for the date I must admit he does look quite yummy, they both head out to sea for some sailing and then eventually venture off into a kayak for a more intimate experience. This date seems to really put Ames in a new light with Ashley and has given him a place as a front runner. He of course scores a rose on his date too.
After all the hoopla last week, the men finally get a cocktail party this week. West gets a chance to sit down with Ashley who wonders if he’s really ready to move on with his life after his wife’s passing. Next, Ashley gives Lucas a bit of a 3rd degree about his previous divorce. I think he’s sweet but he didn’t really have solid answers for her questions, hopefully he’s ready for something serious. Blake finally does the genuine thing and pulls Ryan aside to let him know how he’s coming off… In a surprising twist Ashley request an additional rose to give out tonight so Chris Hansen and ABC oblige, leaving only one guy going home today.
Who Gets A Rose?
In addition to Ames, Ben F. and Constantine;
