ABC/Rick RowellBentley, the borderline evil businessman from Denver, has Ashley in the palm of her hands with his manipulative ways.It’s hard to imagine a rougher week for Ashley than the one we just witnessed. Not sure who was screening these losers, but Chris Harrison, you’ve clearly been napping on the job. Ashley is surrounded by jerks, losers and creeps, and we’re not sure if she’s going to make it out alive this season.
Here’s a recap of the horror we witnessed this week:
The roast gone wrong: In their defense, it’s not easy to roast the Bachelorette in front of comedian Jeff Ross and a live crowd, especially for a group of guys who’ve only known Ashley for about two weeks. But come on guys, use your brains! As they pointed out, there’s a fine line between being harmlessly funny and being downright mean. If in doubt, you should probably stray on the side of funny, considering you’re trying to win the heart of this woman, right? William, the cell phone salesman, didn’t understand that. Instead, he’s too focused on trying to impress Ross for a future career in stand-up comedy. Don’t quit your day job, William.
A few of the low blows: “They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” he tells the audience. “I mean, I thought I signed up to be with Emily or Chantal, and then Ashley’s here … Really, who gives a s***?” Then, he encourages the audience to pull out their phones and donate to a fund for breast implants for Ashley. Later, he apologizes, telling us: “You make a girl cry, and you kind of want to run away.” You probably should have, buddy. We would have sent you packing before you finished the routine.
Bentley, Bentley, Bentley: We could devote the whole blog to Bentley’s antics, but he’s not worth the time or effort. There have been several high profile losers on the Bachelorette series (yes, Wes from Jillian’s season, we’re talking about you), but Bentley may be the lowest of them all. On this episode, he consoles Ashley after the roast-gone-wrong. “I’m not going pass up an opportunity to mess with her head and get some one-on-one time,” he says.
Rick Rowell/ABCIf there was a line, William definitely crossed it during his comedic roast of Ashley. He made fun of her appearance and said he wished Emily or Chantal, other contestants from last season of "The Bachelor," had been chosen as "The Bachelorette."Ashley takes this chance to question why her friend, Michelle Money (remember her from Brad’s season? The psycho hair stylist?), warned her about Bentley. Bentley claims it’s all just a misunderstanding. Michelle is friends with his ex-wife, he says, and they’re trying to run a smear campaign against him. Ashley buys this baloney.
The next day, she’s rambling on about how Bentley could be the one and how she could see herself running off to Salt Lake City with him. Huh? What spiked Kool-Aid is this woman drinking? Maybe she was told to say it, for scripting purposes, because the tension builds when we see Bentley back at the mansion, packing his suitcase.
He tells us he’s just not into Ashley, even calling her an “ugly duckling.” Bentley decides to leave the show, but he tells Ashley and the guys that he’s leaving because he can’t stand being away from his daughter. “These fools, these freakin’ idiots, they believe me,” he says. “I had the opportunity, and I played everyone.” The saddest part about his whole charade is that Ashley actually cares enough to break down in tears, throwing herself in bed and pulling the covers over her head. Honey, some guys are just not worth crying over.
The knight in shining armor: J.P., we didn’t think it was possible for you to steal our heart any more than you already had. (Note: Last week we predicted that J.P. will be in this for the long haul). This week, the handsome construction manager with an infectious smile, had to console Ashley after the Bentley meltdown. Instead of having a fancy one-on-one date like the other fellas, J.P. settled for a quiet night at home, wearing pajamas and lounging around. Something about their chemistry just seems natural, and we see Ashley falling hard for him in the future.
Rick Rowell/ABCSo you think you can dance, huh Ben C.? The New Orleans attorney got his groove on during a flash mob dance with Ashley.The flash mob: Ben C., the cute attorney from New Orleans, got overshadowed in this episode of jerks. He starts the week with a one-on-one date with Ashley that was one of the coolest we’ve seen on the series. Ashley teaches Ben a simple hip-hop routine, and then takes him to a park and coaxes him into practicing the routine. What Ben doesn’t know is that a mob of casual park-goers have already practiced the routine and are ready to surprise him with a flash mob dance.
For those of you who aren’t familiar, a flash mob is a large group of people who plan out a seemingly spontaneous event. It’s cute to see Ben dance along with Ashley, and at the end, he sneaks a kiss from Ashley after some encouragement from the crowd. Ben seems to be quite a catch, but we’re not sure Ashley sees that romantic spark with him. He’ll last maybe two more weeks, but we don’t see him going to the end.
In the end: Somehow William, the cellphone salesman, escapes elimination, despite offending Ashley during the roast. Chris. D, a sports marketing coordinator, and Jeff, a.k.a. Creepy Masked Man, are sent home. Jeff, to his credit, actually removed his mask this week and showed Ashley his full face. Her reaction? He looks older than she expected, she says. Ouch. When he’s sent packing, Jeff symbolically releases the black mask into a pit of flames. Burn baby, burn.
Next week: Ryan P, the winner of the first impression rose, starts to annoy the other guys with his aggressive ways. Ashley tries to mend her broken heart and move on from Bentley.
