Bachelorette
I know some of you have been dying to discuss 
.
.
Honestly, I'm probably in the minority here, but I think Bentley is a douche but I think he's honest and says what many men feel but don't say. "A girl sitting there crying, and crying, and crying after you've already checked out is annoying." - I would bet money most men feel that way they just don't say it.
He's funny, and although I wouldn't have fallen for his ***, he'd be fun to be friends with. "I'm going to make Ashley cry now. I hope my hair looks okay." I'm sorry, but that was hilarious!
And Ashley is just as insecure now as she was with Brad. Who is she kidding.
ETA: HAH! I wrote sh!t and TN starred it out!
Re: Bachelorette
I think Bentley is an over confident ass but that doesnt make me hate him. It really makes me hate the show because they can act like this was a shocker but I dont believe it for one second. I bet in the pre-screening they ask how would you feel if it is XX and fill in the blank over and over so they knew he wouldnt like her. I respect him for at least stepping away now instead of later.
I am so over Ashely she is so insecure its like I am watching a teenager who has no sense of her identity.
That roast was SO stupid!
I really like JP, I know it likely wasnt the best date he has ever been on but the fact that he can appreciate the little things. Some of my best memories with Matt havent been out on some fancy schmancy date but when I am sick or pissy and he still gets me to have a fun time.
Unfortunately, I see some of myself in Ashley. Not so much the insecurity part, but where she said she was looking for William to comfort her and he just ran away. Sometimes when DH and I fight and I start crying, all I want is him to comfort me and when he doesn't automatically do that I get more upset.
I agree with you BL, the show set that up. But, it's TV. They have to make it entertaining.
I think there is a man out there for Ashley, but it has to be one who knows how to handle her insecurities and has a lot of patience. And one who loves her despite that.
Matt is definitely not a comforter when it comes to me crying. Hes a leave you alone till you can be rational then we can talk through it then snuggle, but I am okay with that.
I agree its TV, but I guess I would respect the show more if they were just honest about it and not be so fake. Also, it would be impossible for me to go on that show as a women with an open mind knowing they have to do something for the ratings. I would be constantly wondering which guy was planted there to shake me up.
I agree.
But, I am really glad she gave William another chance. I think he's a good guy and didn't mean to hurt her feelings.
DH is like that sometimes too, he tries to make people laugh and when he's in a group of people cracking a joke, he doesn't think about how that's going to affect the person's feelings, he just thinks about making people laugh. It's not until afterwards when someone says they got their feelings hurt when he's like, "Oops."
YAY for Bachelorette Talk!!
Bentley - I'm so glad he is gone and glad he isn't dragging her along anymore. I can't even imagine how she fell for him so hard, but oh well. I do appreciate Chris Harrison and the comments he made to her right before the rose ceremony. I was like "Go Chris". She needed to hear what he had to say. I wonder if Ashley finds out the truth about Bentley before the season was aired on TV??
William - I am so glad she kept him too and think he was completely set up for the "Roast". Which was absolutely stupid.
Ryan - I wonder what the show is going to dish up about him next week. I liked him, but now seeing the previews I'm not sure.
Mask Guy - So glad he's gone. His nose was HUGE.
Ben C. - Can't decide if I like this guy or not. He talks way too much and way too fast. I want to know what fantasy world he lives in, but maybe he was just saying those things to woe her. Not sure.
JP - What a cutie pie and how sweet of him to appreciate the small things. I'm with you BL!!
Ashley - Goodness she is still so insecure and I wonder if she's going to be a cry baby the rest of the show.
I will say one thing about Ashley, I don't think she's fake. I think she's completely real.
Now there are an enormous amount of fake women that do go on those shows, it's ridiculous.
Yay I am here!
While Bentley made for some great comic relief, come on dude "I have to leave because of my daughter"? Man up a bit! Although, Summer, I agree I think I'd love to have him as a friend. I tend to enjoy being friends with a-holes.
Amanda- I totally agree on William being set up! I was reading the ABC message boards as that was going down and they were all saying the same thing. As far as the roast itself goes, what dumb@$$ agrees to do something like that and not expect their feelings to get hurt? Ashley is way way way too sensitive and needs to grow a pair.
And also, is anyone else amused when someone semi-famous comes out and the main character of the season acts all buddy-buddy like they've known them forever?
I felt a little bad for Jeff the Mask cause her reaction to the camera after... "Oh, he's older" Shallow B.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
HA HA Yes, I totally agree with you. She acted like she was their best friend. I'm like ya whatever you're so not a celebrity yet. LOL
Ya that was a tad harsh about The Mask Guy. I feel bad for him, but I didn't figure she would see past the fact that he wore the mask all the time.
This was EVERYTHING I was going to say! I have to say that Ashley has always annoyed me. I didn't even like her insecure butt on the bachelor! But, like always, I am amused by reality tv so I watch!
Actually, the one person on each of those shows that I think is the most real is the bachelor or the bachelorette. However, I still don't know how grown people think you can find the love of your life by making out in hot tubs and going out on dates that are not the norm. That's just me though and it's the reason I don't watch.
Bentley - I am more embarassed for Ashley than I am hating on Bentley. "He was the one!" Really? You've known the guy for 5 minutes. If that had been me, I would have been like, "Oh you have to leave? That's too bad. See ya!" Pa.the.tic.
Ben - He is crazy and creepy. He talked so fast my head was spinning. He gives me the willies.
Jeff - I thought him taking off that stupid mask was hilarious. Ashley was obviously underwhelmed. Wearing a mask to go on the Bachelorette = huge fail.
The Roast - I have always hated roasts. If that were me, I would have cried my eyes out just like Ashley. But not just off the stage where everyone could see me. I am very sensitive so I was right there with her on this one. William was a total tool I thought. But what the heck was he doing wandering aimlessly down the street? The small boob jokes got old.
JP - "This is the most incredible date I have ever been on!" Wow, JP, you don't get out much do you? He is sweet and I felt bad for him but c'mon, that was painful. Ashely obviously did not want to be there and it showed. Big time.
All in all I was very disappointed with this episode and I thought Ashley came off looking really bad and I am wondering at this point if I can even watch the whole season. None of the guys really interest me either. It's kind of a snoozefest. At least Bentley kept it interesting.
Oh and that's not the last we've seen of him either. Or so I hear.
With All the Trimmings
Just do it!
But he didn't seem to have much of a personality. He was so......flat. I can't think of another word.
Flat is a good word. Although he did have a bit of arrogance when it was just him and the camera and he was talking about how he'd be good at the roast. Then he kind of bombed it.
I'm not so good with the advice... Can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?
Yeah I was thinking "You? Funny? Okay."
