I was completely touched by their romance and find it to be completely sincere.  They are both very humble people who are in it for the right reasons and it makes me feel better about the process.  Being with my husband for 9 years, you know when people are in love and those two are in love -- it's awesome!  Happy for them both and hope the media LEAVES THEM ALONE!

I really hope it works out for them.   And I really hope she is as into him, as he is into her.  I had a feeling last night, that both guys were more into her, than she was into them.   I was HEARTBROKEN for Ben!  But happy for JP!  Last night was brutal  to watch and go through.  Two GREAT guys!

I was happy to see Jimmy show JP the part of Ben's Final Date where the two  of them were snuggled up on the bed and he asked how she could do that with Ben 24 hrs before becoming engaged to JP. While she didn't answer Jimmy, I'm sure JP had some serious questions for her later.

Personally I think she should've chosen Ben. She even said there was a point where she seriously considered choosing Ben, but she loved JP. I'm sure telling Ben that in response to his questions was her way of justifying to America how she could make out with Ben that way and not choose him.

It remains to be seen if JP and Ashley last or if they become another Bachelor statistic.

It will be interesting for sure.   This morning on Regis and Kelly, they played a game with them and one of the questions was "who said I love you first" .. it was funny, because JP looked panicked .. when Ashley told him "It's ok, be honest" .... and it was Ashley who said I love you first!   I find this VERY interesting and I wonder if he went into the "proposal" knowing it was him.  Wonder if Ashley told him the night before that it was going to be him.

I think she has loved JP since the first  1/1 date with him at her house. JMO. I think she told him then or on their train ride.

It's would not be the first time the bachelorette/bachelor told the person they loved them. Others have

written about it. Firestond told Jenn when he was the bachelor. He stated he knew very early on. You know,

you have chemistry or you don't You cannot force it. Of course, even if there is chemistry, it takes to time to see

if a long term relationship will work. I'm betting this one will last.

Well it was also the Brad and Emily thing too .. where Brad broke the rules SEVERAL times with Emily. 

 

I just don't think this process is ultimately effective.  To be put in a fantasty world for 6 weeks ... and then to fall in love and be expected to spend the rest of your lives together, when during that 6 weeks, you didn't get THAT much time together.  I just wish they'd change the concept of the show.
