Ashley Hebert - Episode 10

The finale is finally here!


On tonight's episode, the guys got to meet Ashley's family.  The first to meet the crew was J.P.

He was pretty nervous to meet everyone, but Ashley assured him that her family would just love him!  Well, she was mostly right.  Everyone loved him EXCEPT here sister.  Her sister had some tough questions right off the bat like "Does he make you laugh?"  Apparently, that was such a tough question that neither Ashley nor J.P. could really give a straight answer.  Eyebrows were a raising.  Her sister sits down with Ashley for a chat and tells her that she does not think J.P. is the one for her.  "You're too much for him."  Ashley instantly breaks down in tears because, above all, her sisters opinion meant the most to her and to hear that makes her sad.  Very, very sad.  Ashley feels that it's unfair for her sister to pass judgement on J.P. so soon after meeting him.  So, her sister pulls J.P. aside and talks to him a little bit more.  She's very honest with J.P. and tells him that she just "doesn't see it there" between them and that she would not be happy if J.P. proposed in the end.  Ouch.


Ashley is concerned with her sisters opinion and decides to have another chat with her.  Things go from bad to worse and her sister tried to convince her that "I'm trying to protect you from yourself."


Then it was Ben's turn to meet the fam.

Ben gets off on the right foot with the whole family.  Once again, Ashley's sister pulls him aside and asks the tough questions.  He passes with flying colors and even admits to her that he's in love with Ashley.  Ben felt very accepted by Ashley's whole family.  That's all I got on Ben's meet-and-greet.  It was pretty perfect.


Then it was on to the final dates of the season.  Ben was up first.  They took a helicopter ride above Fiji and took in the sights.  When they landed they enjoyed a sensual mud bath together.  It appears as though things are progressing as they should.  Bow-chicka-wow-wow.  After the bath, they meet up for some dessert and Ben finds his opportunity to tell Ashley how he feels about her.  He's in love.  "We're just two kids in love."


The final date was with J.P. and Ashley decided to start things off with a heart-to-heart about what went down with her sister.  J.P. understands that she values her sisters opinion and really hopes that this doesn't change things between them.  "We are the perfect fit." he tells her.  "I am madly in love with you!"  Later they met up in her hotel room and J.P. gave her a gift.  It was a picture of them lying on the beach and it was inside the first page of a photo album.  "If you pick me, we'll fill the rest of it up together."  He wrote her a cute note about how much he cares for her.  Ashley loved the gift.


The next day the guys went out and picked out their rings for Ashley.  They both planned on proposing so, it was important to have the ring!


I won't leave you in suspense any longer.  Ashley ended up picking...


Drum roll, please...


J.P.!

J.P. did a cute little proposal to which Ashley said "YES!"  They are so in love and plan on making lots and lots of babies together.  Ben walked away crushed, but it's all in the name of love.  He'll find someone else, i'm sure.  The show ended with a somewhat cheesy song.  They frolicked in the ocean to the song "I can't fight this feeling anymore" by REO Speedwagon.  Yes, frolicked in the ocean.  Oh well, at least it was a happy ending. :)
