Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmail

What’s the best way to get revenge on getting your heart broken on and by The Bachelor? Come back as The Bachelorette and have 25 hot gorgeous men fight for your love. That’s exactly what Ashley Hebert did when she was rejected by Brad Womack on last season’s The Bachelor.

Ashley, a dental student, is back on ABC and is looking for a man to share her life with. The men better beware, Ashley is a smart hottie: She graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine with a BS in biology and will graduate in May from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with a 3.96 GPA. Hopefully, she will find a man worthy of all that she brings to the table.

So, who are these 25 eligible bachelors?

The men. Here are the ones we got extra background scoop on:

  • Ryan P. (31): He installs solar panels and loves what he does. He misses that “special person” and is “completely ready to get married.” He is looking for the light of his life and soul.
  • J.P. (31): He works as a construction manager and real estate developer. He seems a bit jaded: Has been dating in NY for 12 years and getting his heart broken over and over.
  • Ames (31): Is an over achiever. He works in finance, went to Yale, Harvard and Columbia. Has about 10 degrees, been to 70 countries, has ran almost 40 marathons. Bejesus. He hopes the Bachelorette is Ashley but, does he really have time for a woman in his life?
  • Ben C. (28): He’s from New Orleans, he’s a lawyer. He wants to find true, ideal love and says he is a 15 on a romantic scale of 1-10. Good luck dude.
  • Ben E. (28): Looks like a a hippie and makes wine. He grew up in a loving family and has been “guarded” since his dad passed away. He likes well-rounded, cultured woman…and brunettes, even though he’s mainly dated blondes.
  • Bentley (28): His name is a car, he is divorced and has a cute daughter named Cozy. Says he has a great life and a lot of “things most people don’t.” He hopes the Bachelorette is Emily. Oh oh.
  • Anthony (28): He’s a fourth-generation butcher from NJ. In Other words, he’s probably going home tonight. He hopes the Bachelorette is full of life and open to a small-town butcher.
  • West (30): He is a prosecutor in New York. He was married for 7 years “to the great love” and “true love” of his life. But he unfortunately and sadly found his wife dead in the bathtub. I didn’t pay much attention before the season premiere, but I do recall hearing some nasty rumors about him a month ago….time will tell about this guy. He says this show is a great opportunity for him to put his faith back in love and take that leap. You know, because The Bachelor franchise has had such a great track record with lasting love.
  • William (30): He is from Columbus, Ohio and admits has a terrible relationship track record. 7 or 8 of his exes married the very next guy after they dated him. Ouch. His father passed away due to constant alcohol use.

Before Ashley meets the men, she tells Chris Harrison that an old show contestant warned her about Bentley not coming on the show “for the right reasons,” but coming instead to promote his business. Ashley though is willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Quick look to the recap above, Bentley is also the one hoping to meet E-M-I-L-Y on the show…sounds like a match made in heaven already.

LIMOUSINE ARRIVALS:

  • Mr. Solar Panel Ryan P. (31) was the first one out of the limo, and he was all smiles. So cute. Ashley said so too.
  • Jon (26) is an E-Commerce exec and had on a purple tie. He scooped Ashley up and said, “Can we skip everything and just go straight to the honeymoon?” He finally put her down and Ashley thought the “ride” was “awesome” and cute.
  • Lucas 30: He’s from Texas and of course he is an oil field equipment distributer. He said, “I’m a hugger,” and apparently he smells good too.
  • William (30): Is a cell phone sales person who is Gorgeous with a capital G. Apparently Ashley noticed too because she rolled her eyes in an orgasmic way when he stepped out of the limo. He reminded us again that he has a bad relationship track record. 
  • Mickey (31): Is a chef, and brought her a gift…well, sort of. He tried to deliver a gift of a kiss and Ashley wisely pulled away. He told the guys afterwards that he had actually sealed the kiss. SO, he’s the no-kiss and tell kind of guy…you’re too old to do that buddy.
  • Tim (35): Tim is a liquor distributor. He paused while walking towards Ashley; just what every woman wants to see happen on a blind date. Then he paused when talking because he lost his train of thought.  Eventually, he told her she’s breathtaking. If he gets a rose tonight, I will be shocked.
  • Ben C. (28): He’s our romantic lawyer from New Orleans and spoke to Ashley in French.
  • Stephen (27): Hairstylist from a beach town in Callie. Not much chemistry there, unless he wants to do Ashley’s hair.
  • Chris D. (25): A sports marketing coordinator who rapped for her. WOW. Eminem would be pissed at this dude’s abilities or lack thereof. 
  • Our NY prosecutor West (30): He brought her a gift of a broken compass stuck on the direction of west. He told her to use the compass if she ever feels lost throughout this process to find her way back to him. OK–that’s either very cute or too deliberate. Again, time will tell on this guy.
  • Anthony (28): Our sweet butcher from Jersey showed up and was all drama the way he twirled to meet Ashley and strutted up to her. I didn’t get a read on him. I still think he’s going home tonight.
  • Rob (27): A tech exec. His claim to fame? He compared himself to Brad Womack and said he is missing crowns. As in teeth. OOOOOKAY! Way to distinguish yourself there buddy.
  • Super high achiever Ames (31): A portfolio manager.  He whipped out a pair of ballet tickets for the two of them because she likes to dance. That’s sweet. Wonder when they are for? She gave one of the tickets back to him. She should have kept both.
  • Matt (31): An office supply salesman. Dunder Mifflin anyone? He gave Ashley a very wobbly handshake. NOT A TURN ON.
  • Our masked man Jeff (35): An entrepreneur told Ashley he came wearing a mask because he wanted to take his “face out of the game” so Ashley could get to know him better. Ashley was either frightened or looked like she was trying really hard not to crack up. I just couldn’t tell. And really, either reaction would have been totally appropriate.
  • Our hippie wine maker Ben E. (28): He showed up with a bottle of wine and two glasses. Kinda cute move –and that’s coming from me, a non-drinker. He started the meet with a toast and told her he had brushed his teeth 8 times. Not bad…
  • Frank (29): A college admissions director gave Ashley a forced wink as he got out of the limo. He is a large man who kissed her hand and picked her up and twirled her around. He gave her another noisy, elongated kiss on the hand…my man’s got a hand fetish for sure.
  • Michael (29): A tech salesman. He made a couple of dentist jokes. At least he made an effort.
  • Chris (27): A Canadian construction company CEO. That’s a lot of c’s. But I like Canadian men.
  • Ryan M. (27): A construction estimator who brought his camera along to take pics of Ashley and the two of them together.  It was cute, at first, until he told Ashley he wanted her to take a pic of him and Chris Harrison later. OK, what’s the deal? Does this guy know he won’t last long on the show and wanted proof that he was there?
  • J.P.(34): Yet another construction guy, this one, a manager.  He said he had no props, but had brought just his smile…cute enough.
  • Nick (26): A personal trainer who wrote Ashley a poem promising to be the perfect catch. I didn’t hate it.
  • Blake (27): A fellow dentist. Ashley had become giddy with joy when she heard earlier that one of the men was a fellow dentite. He was way too quick and made absolutely no impression. I don’t even think he told Ashley he was a dentist which would have been a huge plus obviously. #Fail.
  • And finally came bad-rep Bentley (28): I got to admit this businessman came out of the limo with a winning smile. Wonder if he was disappointed that it was Ashley waiting for him and not Emily. Perhaps, because he too was brief in his hello and headed inside as soon as he told Ashley he was nervous.
  • Last guy Constantine (30): A businessman from Atlanta. To make Ashley remember him, the pink-tie wearing guy took out some pink dental floss and tied it around her arm. 
AT THE COCKTAIL PARTY:

Ashley started the night by asking the men to be honest with themselves and with her throughout this dating process. Ryan P., the first guy out of the limo, was also the first guy to steal her away. He’s for sure gonna get a rose. He made an impression by being first all around and that’s all you can hope for in a sea of 25 men. Ashley went a step further and told the camera Ryan is the whole package.

Ben F. the wine maker was sweet in his time alone with her. Then came Matt the office supply salesman who whisked Ashley away only to admit to her that he is a mama’s boy. Ashley found that endearing and the two of them called his mom, Gail, who told the two to make sure they use protection when they use the fantasy suite down the road. Cool mom!

Later on, Ashley was having a conversation with three men when Michael the tech salesman who made dentist jokes as soon as he was out of the limo came into the room and started playing the guitar just to steal her away. CHEESEY!! But wait! Once he stole her away, he threw the guitar into the pool because he really doesn’t know how to play the guitar–he just wanted her attention. And it worked. He sold me!

Masked man Jeff was shocked that covering half his face would make the other men think he’s weird. Why do people judge us on the outside, he asked. REALLY? YOU GOTTA ASK THAT? YOU’RE THE ONE HIDING! Tim, the liquor distributer and the man who paused while walking and talking to Ashley when he got out of the limo, really took particular offense to the mask and shoved a pillow in Jeff’s face. Trouble brewing? Of course, it wouldn’t be The Bachelorette otherwise.

The first impression rose came out.


Ben C, the proclaimed romantic lawyer from New Orleans, stole Ashley away from two other men with cue cards which read that he was sad that the two had not spoken yet. OK, original; me like it! He told her he spoke in French to her earlier because he was born in France and travelling is important to him. I’m starting to like him…

Tim, the liquor distributor seems more like a liquor consumer than anything else and is starting to freak me out. He told Ashley she scared him when she approached him. And he thinks the masked man is weird? It turns out, he was tipsy. Actually, he was piss drunk. Good move man. Go wear a mask and hide it out. He started slurring his speech and burping. What a wasted opportunity…Tim then invited masked man to a dance. Later, Ashley found Tim completely passed out and snoring. Well, at least she knows his best qualities right off the bat. She, wisely, sent his ass back home.

The masked man grew on Ashley when she realized he was sincere in trying to have her get to know him without his looks being a factor. J.P. was so cute on his one on one with Ashley. Turns out, his nickname is “cupcake.” She told him that she always wanted the man to marry her to call her cupcake. I liked their interaction a lot.

Ashley then set her sights on Bentley, the man with the bad rep. He pleasantly surprised Ashley and she said if he didn’t come in with a smear, he’d be a front runner. Agreed, he’s a cutie.

The first impression rose went to the guy “who has it all together” and is “modest” and a “nice guy”:  Ryan, our solar panel guy! I TOLD YOU ALL, he made an impression by being the first guy out the limo, the first guy to steal her away, blah blah blah, He has a nice smile too.

OH BUT HERE COMES THE KICKER! We see Bentley admitting to the camera he wanted the rose because he is competitive even though he is “not that attracted to” Ashley! WOAH! Poor Ash! Here we go…

(NOTE: 17 get roses, 6 go home. Tim was sent home already and Ryan had first impression rose):
