Bachelor Stars Brad Womack and AshLee Frazier, Dating!

Brad Womack and Ashlee FrazierIf you’re wondering, “Hey, what ever happened to Brad Womack?” You may now have the answer right here.

The two-time ABC Bachelor who in the end walked away with no love is now dating Sean Lowe’s hand-me-down AshLee Frazier.

Remember her? She was the one who was so mad at Lowe for being let go that she would not mutter a single word to him or give a mandatory hug to the girls as she exited? Ya, that one!

AshLee herself fessed up to the new union on Instagram, boasting about her date with the hunky ABC star at the ballpark. The caption? “Game day. Who’s the real winner here? #Astros #twoTexaskids #wgt”

I can’t say I know who the winner is in this photo, but the pair definitely make a beautiful-looking couple. For now anyway….

Emily Maynard: The Next Bachelorette

According to US Weekly, North Carolina native Emily Maynard will ABC’s next Bachelorette.

The 25-year-old who got engaged to Brad Womack in the last season of The Bachelor, has reportedly signed on to star on the eighth season of the show.
Filming will begin in March and is set to take place in her hometown so she can stay near her daughter, Ricki.

Emily Maynard: “I Will Always Be In Love With Brad”

The beautiful Emily Maynard sat down for an emotional interview with Chris Harrison after Monday’s The Bachelorette and opened up about her relationship breakup with Brad Womack.
Right off the bat, Emily said about her ex-fiance that “Beyond his good looks, he’s just such a gentleman. He is so different than any guy I have ever met.” With those words, we knew that the breakup was not over some scandalous affair or betrayal, but the more complicated irreconcilable matters of the heart.
Apparently, the two broke up a while ago as the tabloids screamed. Using an infamous line of Bentley Williams, Maynard said, “For so long, I think we left the ‘dot dot dot,’ and I feel bad it’s taken us this long to let everyone know.”
It wasn’t shocking that we heard Maynard say, “We’re not engaged anymore,” but it was surprising to hear her say, “He’s always going to be a huge part of my life.” She even added, “I will always be in love with Brad. No one will ever hear me say a bad word about him nor will I tolerate anybody else saying anything bad about him.” So, then, the question we all wanted answered is, ‘why break up?’
There seems to be no good answer expect perhaps the pressures of a new romance, developing in the long lens of the paparazzi spotlight, added in to a mother of a young child wanting and needing promises and assurances of a life forever together from her new beau just proved to much to handle all at once. 
Emily said after The Bachelor wrapped up, she was cleaning out her house and planning on renting an apartment for her and her daughter Ricky where Brad lives but “little red flags were coming up.” She slowly realized that her wants for a relationship and marriage with Womack overshadowed the realities of the relationship. She wasn’t particular other than say that each of the duo “are used to being single,” and that “As a single mom, [she does not] have the luxury of saying [she] will figure things out when [she] gets there.” Maynard continued, “I didn’t have that reassurance “that he will be there six years down the road.”
Sadly, Maynard says, “Not a day goes by that I don’t regret how things have turned out and wish things were different.”
Emily said she does not know how the turn in the relationship happened and that no one is more disappointed than she is. “I felt like a fairy tale going through it. This is my worst nightmare.”
Womack was not present at the interview, but had given his blessings for Maynard to speak out. 
Maynard said she last talked to Womack a couple of days ago over text and knows the two will remain in contact. “He’s changed me as a person and taught me a lot,” she said. “We love each other a lot and we could make it work if it was based on that, but it’s not. I want to focus on being a mom and not worry about the [paparazzi] in the bushes.”
Speaking of paparazzi, she said her five year old daughter was just as affected with the alienation such a focus on the couple had brought on and would no longer believe the photographers were not after them but after everyone in general. Maynard had even told Ricky that the paparazzi thought she was Taylor Swift, but her daughter would not believe her.

Emily Maynard: The Next Bachelorette?

WHO did not see this coming the second we heard that Emily Maynard and Brad Womack had hit splitsville: Brad Womack’s Bachelor ex, may be the next star of The Bachelorette.

“She hasn’t officially signed on yet, but it looks like a done deal,” a source told Us Weekly“She wants to be famous,” the source also said.

I will fill you in as soon as more details come in. 
But you know ABC needs this deal really badly since the majority of people watching The Bachelorette this season seem extremely dissatisfied with how things have progressed or regressed, possibly to the point of giving up on the series all together.
But Maynard’s popularity with fans of the show and even with men on the current season of The Bachelortte is undeniable and millions would tune in to see if this beauty and her daughter will find a happy ending. 
And, how much do you want to bet that ABC will be also in talks with Bentley Williams the second the ink is put on a deal with Maynard? As much as we don’t want to admit, I think we would love to see Bentley back on this reality dating show just so we can have a person to bitch about.
Chris Harrison will interview Emily Maynard about her break up with Womack. Will that be the day the next Bachorette will also be announced?

Here’s what Chris told TV Guide about the interview, which airs July 11:

“We’re calling them Bachelor updates, catching up with some of the couples. The first is Brad and Emily, and we’ve actually shot another with Ali and Roberto. If anybody is expecting ‘Jake and Vienna 2’ then they’re sorely mistaken. Emily and Brad very much love each other, very much care about each other and they’re very good people and that definitely comes through. I talk to Brad all the time so I sit down [with Emily] and say, ‘This sucks doing this interview with one person and we’re talking about a friend.’ As far as interviews go, even including Jason/Molly/Melissa this was the most awkward and uncomfortable because Brad wasn’t there.”

It’s Official: Brad Womack & Emily Maynard No Longer Engaged

Another couple made in The Bachelor heaven bites the dust.

We’ve all heard the rumors since it seems like before The BachelorBrad Womack Round 2 finale even aired: That Brad and his chosen lady which turned out to be the beautiful Emily Maynard have hit splitsville.
But now, we sadly have confirmation: Maynard and Womack have called quits on their fairy tale while on TV but rocky while in real world relationship.
“We’re no longer engaged,” Maynard told People. Maynard does not place blame for the breakup of the relationship on Womack, but Womack surely places fault on himself:

“The demise of our relationship was completely my fault,” Womack told People.

Maynard takes a kinder approach: “Just because we love each other doesn’t mean we’re right for each other.”

Want to know more? ABC will air a heart to heart between Maynard and Chris Harrison on July 11.
Emily Maynard for the next Bachelorette?? I say yes! But then again, ABC would then be tempted to bring back Bentley Williams who was dying to have EM as the Bachelorette but instead got Ashley Hebert (and we all know what happened there…)

Bachelorette 5/30 Recap: Who Got A Rose?

Eighteen men still remained at the beginning of tonight’s Bachelorette episode. The guys find out early on in the episode that there will be two individual and one group date with Ashley Hebert this week–the kicker though is that NOT all men will get a date before the next rose ceremony.

ONE-ON-ONE DATE WITH WILLIAM

For her first one-on-one date, Ashley choose William (the one with the bad relationship track record) because she thought he would make “light of any situation” which is what she needed for the first date.

She flew William away to Sin City in a private jet. But I bet William was not prepared for what Ashley had in mind: A series of wedding preparations to make sure William is commitment prone. They went wedding cake taste testing and ring shopping. William looked like a deer stuck in headlights. I felt bad for the guy…Ashley, don’t you think that was jumping the gun a bit for the first date? William regained his exposure long enough to tell the camera, “I am getting nervous because we keep inching closer to the process of finalizing a marriage.”

Ashley didn’t get the memo because she rushed William to a Vegas chapel. William kept telling himself, “this is a joke, a joke, a joke!” And when the minister showed up in a full robe, he made William almost catatonic. This was the weirdest date ever – William even said, “I do!” WHAT? What was I missing? 

Ashley then realized that there are 17 other men she hasn’t had a chance to get to know and if she also said “I do” then she’d be married, so, she put the breaks on things. William did say this was his best first date ever and Ashley agreed (though I do seem to recall her telling Brad Womack that her first date with him was her best date ever, so, I hope things turn out better for Ashley this time around). 

Later that night, Ashley and William rowed a boat to a VIP first-ever dinner in the middle of the world famous Bellagio Lake. As eager fans looked on, William opened up to Ashley about his father’s alcoholism and tragic death and he and Ashley bonded over their similar pasts (Ashley too has an alcoholic father). So, of course Ashley gave William a rose. And as the couple kissed, the Fountains of Bellagio water show began and the crowd cheered…
Ashley afterwards told the camera her date with William set the bar so high, she’s not sure any other date will compare. We shall see…

GROUP DATE
The next day, Ashley had a group date with Constantine, Ryan M., Chris D., Ben F., Nick, Bentley, West, Lucas, Stephen, Blake, Matt, and Ames who flew to Vegas in another private jet. Ashley said she wanted to “test their ability to move, if you know what I mean,” and with that, she invited them to the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino where they watched a private performance by the Jabbawockeez hip hop dance troupe. As the men were enjoying the show, Ashley sneaked off and joined the show on stage! The men were thrilled at first to see her but their excitement turned to a total freak out when they realized that they’ll be doing some dancing of their own. 
Two teams of six men each created, rehearsed and performed a routine for Ashley and the Jabbawockeez. One winning team would spend the night in Las Vegas, perform on stage and get to spend extra time with Ashley. The losers would go back to LA. 
Constantine decided that his group (Stephen, Ames, Ryan M., Matt, and Chris D who called themselves “Best Men”) should do a wedding dance with the groom being stood up at the alter. Ashley was impressed with their creativity. But it was the other team, “No Rhythm Nation” comprised of West, Nick, Lucas, Bently, Ben F. and Blake which won and got to stay in Vegas to perform in front of a live audience. 
Later that night, West shared the heartbreaking story of the death of his wife with Ashley and she seemed moved. Meanwhile, Bentley said he is very competitive and the competition makes things exciting for him, and although he thinks Ashley is pretty and has a nice ass, he says she is not his type. One-on-one, he played the “if I didn’t have a daughter, I’d be more secure in this process” card. He had Ashley begging him to “please please please” stick around if he had any feelings for her. And with that, Bentley knew he had her in his pocket. AND YEP, he was right, she gave him the one rose of the group date which made Bentley say to the camera that the game is over. Too bad Ashley can’t hear what we hear…sigh…

COIN TOSS FOR FINAL DATE
Back in Los Angeles, a date card comes that reads that the winner of a flipped coin between J.P. and Mickey will get the final date with Ashley in Vegas. If you ask me, that’s kinda messed up–these guys are dying for a date and Ashley couldn’t make the decision herself? Turns out, Mickey wins the coin toss–And Ashley is happy it’s Mickey because he is “gorgeous”. Poor J.P. He is incredibly frustrated and rightfully so.

ONE-ON-ONE DATE WITH MICKEY
The coin-flipping theme continued as Mickey and Ashley kept flipping a coin to decide the course of their date. The two first visited an aquarium and shared personal stories over some wine. Mickey revealed his mother had died 6 years ago and Ashley was moved that he has turned a bad situation into good in his life. 
When it came time to whether or not Mickey should get a rose, Ashely told Mickey she wasn’t sure how she was feeling and wanted to flip a coin to decide if he should stay or go. Mickey thought she was crazy but went along with it because quite frankly, he had no choice. Mickey won the coin toss and Ashley confessed she was going to give him the rose anyway. The couple then enjoyed a romantic dinner with lots of kissing during a special private concert by Colbie Caillat.

COCKTAIL PARTY
Ashley felt a lot of pressure at the cocktail party, especially because four men had not received a date at all that week. One of the dateless men was J.P. who lost at the chance for a date because of a coin flip.  As soon as he could, he whisked Ashley away and told her he was gonna flip a coin to see if he would get a kiss or not. He flipped, she caught, and he got the kiss….and better yet, she hinted to him that he will get a rose that night.
Nick taught Ashley a line dance and while the two were talking, William interrupted the duo even though he already had a rose. Nick was not happy and called him a “ding dong” behind his back which may be a nickname to stick. Meanwhile, Nick reiterated that this was his best first date and stole some more kisses.
Another dateless man was Jeff, the masked man, who vowed to finally reveal himself that night. OOOH! Now, we’re talkin! He took Ashley aside and told her that he suffered a brain hemorrhage at 29 (he’s now 35). He also told her about his divorce and said because of his experiences, he doesn’t take life for granted. Jeff was about to take his mask off when Matt interrupted them. Damn it, the mask remained on.

Ben C. was assertive because he also had no date with Ashley this week. He took her away and then compared her to a table at a good restaurant which needs weeks of advanced reservations. He scored big points by saying that he loves to dance and likes that she likes to dance.

William kept bragging about his date and how they had the first-ever date on the Bellagio Fountain. When Bentley heard that William kissed Ashley, his competitive nature kicked in and wanted a kiss as well. He wanted the kiss despite the fact that he told the camera he would rather swim in pee than plan a wedding with Ashley. Again, he said she is not his type. The jerk literally swept her off her feet and kissed her in front of the fireplace. Bentley said the kiss was “kinda boring.” He continued, “It started out good but sucked towards the end.” Poor Ashley is falling hook, line and sinker and saw the whole thing as a story-book romance move. She said she has a good radar for the insincere but her heart says he could be the one for her….

WHO GOT A ROSE
At the end of the night, 15 men remain to battle for Ashley’s heart. Roses went to:

  • William, 30, a cellular phone salesman from Fostoria, Ohio with a bad relationship track (date rose)
  • Bentley, 28, a businessman from Salt Lake City, Utah who is clearly playing Ashley(rose from group date)
  • Mickey, 31, a chef from Cleveland, Ohio who won a date after a coin toss (date rose)
  • West, 30, a lawyer from Chapin, S.C. whose wife had died
  • Constantine, 30, a restaurant owner from Atlanta, Ga.
  • Ryan P., 31, a solar energy executive from Corona Del Mar, Calif. (the one who got the first impression rose)
  • Ben C., 28, a lawyer from New Orleans, La.
  • Nick, 26, a personal trainer from Tampa, Fla.
  • Ames, 31, a portfolio manager from New York, N.Y.
  • Lucas, 30, an oilfield equipment distributor from Odessa, Texas
  • Jeff, 35, the masked entrepreneur from St. Louis, Mo. 
  • J.P., 34, a construction manager from New York, N.Y. who lost a date but won a kiss based on coin flips
  • Chris D., 25, a sports marketing coordinator from Chicago, Ill.
  • Ben F., 28, a winemaker from Sonoma, Calif.
  • Blake, 27, a dentist from Greenville, S.C.


WHO WENT HOME

Ashley sent home three men without a rose (All three went on the group date):

  • Stephen, 27, a hairstylist from Manhattan Beach, Calif.
  • Matt, 28, an office supply salesman from Bridgewater, Mass. who was a self proclaimed mama’s boy who had Ashley speak to his mom Gail. He left his mom a voice mail that he needed love and French toast and ride from the airport
  • Ryan M., 27, a construction estimator from Royal Oak, Mich.
NEXT WEEK’S DRAMA

Ashley said on her Facebook page Monday: “Next week is an INCREDIBLY emotional and intense episode. I suggest a full bottle of wine standing by!” The Previews for next week’s episode show that both Bentley and William will make Ashley cry. Emily Maynard was the reason for both! Sadly, Bently went in with the specific purpose of making Ashley cry. William, on the other hand, was joking during a roast to Ashley that he was hoping the chose Bachelorette this season was Emily Maynard…ouch!

The Bachelorette Recap: Ashley Hebert Comes Back After Broken Heart To Find Love Again

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…


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


THE ONES WHO GOT A ROSE:

  • Jeff: The Masked Man! LOL…The gimmick worked..
  • Constatine: Dental floss trickster. Looks like our Ashley likes tricks. Bet the guitar guy gets a rose too (NOPE, I WAS WRONG ON THAT ONE!)

Brad Womack Tells The Media To Back Off!

Brad Womack is asking the media to lay off! Honestly, I can’t say I blame him! Ever since 13.8 million viewers tuned in to the three-hour Bachelor finale Monday night to see Womack get on one knee and propose to Emily Maynard, I have read nothing on the couple but doom and gloom stories which gloat that the lovebirds have already broken up.

If they have not broken up already, which Womack says they have not, what couple could possibly withstand all this negativity and scrutiny? To battle some of the BS, Womack and Maynard have taken to the press and issued this joint statement and plea:

“At long last, Emily and I can be open to the world and each other about our relationship. Though we are madly in love, it has been a bumpy couple of months for us and our priority right now is to focus on our relationship. We hope that you can respect our privacy as we return to normalcy and begin our off-screen lives together.”

Next Bachelorette: Ashley Hebert!

DRUM ROLL!!!

And the next Bachelorette will be ….. Ashley Hebert, the woman Brad Womack almost picked on this season of The Bachelor! Well, she was one of the last three women left alongside Chantal O’Brien and Emily Maynard before Brad asked her to leave.

Jimmy Kimmel made the announcement which came as no surprise to anyone who witnessed her total transformation and makeover on The Bachelor: Women Tell All. As soon as I saw her complete new look, I knew she had something big waiting in store for herself. And, what could be bigger in the Bachelor world than scoring the lead title of the Bachelorette?

After making the annoucement, Kimmel asked Hebert: “Were you then glad that Brad didn’t pick you?” Hebert said giddily: “Yeah. I mean, I think it all turned out for the best!” It sure did for both of you! Brad is with Emily and Ashley has the once-in-a-life-time opportunity to play the bachelorette to 30 men. On national TV. Congrats Ashley!

Hebert is 26 and from Madawaska, Maine. She is currently attending dental school at the University of Pennsylvania. The new Bachelorette premieres May 23, 2011!

Who Won ‘Bachelor’ Brad Womack’s Heart?

Who won Brad Womack‘s heart in the season finale of The Bachelor? Was it Emily Maynard or Chantal O’Brien?

SPOILER ALERT: On Monday’s season 15 finale, it was Emily Maynard who got the final rose as Womack told O’Brien that she was not the one for him.

“I’ve fallen in love with someone else,” Womack broke the news to a teary-eyed O’Brien.

Once O’Brien was escorted to the limo which whisked her away into the unknown and Maynard arrived, Womack could not contain his joy. He gushed: “You’re the one, Em. You’re my once in a lifetime…Please let me be your once in a lifetime. Please let me be your best friend. Please let me protect you and your beautiful daughter, and please let me love you for the rest of your life. I love you, Emily. I am truly in love with you.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And then, Womack got down on his knee, and proposed: “Emily, please make me happier than I’ve ever been in my life and marry me!”

Maynard’s response? “I would love too!” After Womack placed a ring on her finger, it was Maynard’s turn to gush: “You just made me the happiest girl in the world!”
