Tonights episode took the guys to beautiful Taiwan.
Ashley's first date was with Constantine.
They took a train to a tiny village and made a lantern of wishes. They had a fun dinner conversation and then sent their lantern floating up into the sky. The idea was for their wishes to come true after sending it on it's way.
The date was short, yet sweet.
The second date was with Ben F.
Ben and Ashley took a moped through a gorgeous canyon in Taiwan. Over dinner they discussed hometowns and what it would be like if Ashley was to meet Ben's family. They also talked about the "L Word". Ben says he's starting to fall in love with Ashley and Ashley is feeling the same.
Tonights group date was with Ames, J.P., and Lucas.
Don't worry guys. Ashley has a horrible date planned for you, too. We wouldn't want you to feel like you were left out of this experience at all. Ashley took the guys to a district in Taiwan that is known for wedding photography. Apparently in Taiwan they are serious about their wedding photos and it's kind of a big deal. So, she made the guys all dress up in traditional Taiwan wedding gear and she got into a wedding dress and they all posed for cutesy photos. Of course J.P. got jealous when Ashley locked lips with both Lucas AND Ames in their photoshoots. That J.P. is sure a jealous guy. At the end of the date she awarded the rose to J.P. to reassure him of his place in her heart.
The final date of the episode was with Ryan P.
I'm not gonna lie. This date made me cry. It was doomed to fail from the start. They began the date by visiting a temple and rolling some stones to see if their wishes would come true...they didn't. They continued their uneventful date by taking a walk around a park and then stopping for a picnic lunch. It was there that Ashley knew that she just wasn't romantically interested in Ryan anymore. There was no spark. No passion. She was very honest with Ryan and just let him know exactly what she was feeling...which was nothing at all. Ryan was crushed. His tears seemed genuine...(genuine enough for someone that wants to be the next Bachelor.) But, it did make me sad because he really does seem to want to find that special someone. All the single ladies out there, please hit Ryan up. He's lonely. Ryan spends the rest of the night walking the Taiwan streets alone and then heading back home to California.
At the final rose ceremony Ashley's mind is made up. She already knows who she is going to send home. There is no need for a cocktail party. She sent home the southern gentleman, Lucas.
Next week is the hometown dates and our weekly contests will begin! Get excited! The remaining guys are Constantine, J.P., Ben and Ames.
Send me an email casting your next vote of who YOU think she'll send home next! Whoever picks the right one will win a prize next Tuesday!
