I really think it would have been funny if Jake had told Ali that she "was the one"... what would they do next? Would Chris have announced, "That's it folks show's over for the season, see ya next year?" Don't you think that the last two men on the show (Jake and that other one that picked Melissa then dumped her) have been really wimpy? You are right Dotmom. How could Ali's visit be a surprise to Jake when the cameras are in the room? AND, what is the world is wrong with this freaky little girl named Tenley? I thought I would die laughing when she started dancing for Jake. She acts as if she is 12 years old giving her first dance recital for her daddy. No wonder her first husband left her.....she's just plain goofy. Woman Up Tenley. You know Jake was looking at her wondering how fast he could get away from that crazy chick. Give me a break. Gia is probably too smart for Jake. He'll never pick her. Like others have said, I think he will end up with "I've got the crazy eye" Vienna. Ali is probably still crying in a corner somewhere. Listen girlfriend, don't leave a good job for a man who's dating three other girls....DUH... I am so angry at myself for watching this crap but, I can't help it. I've got the addiction... hope they all live long and prosper.ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

I figured Ashley would be the new bachelorette, thinking of some of the last ones and she stood out as the best one in my opinion as the best bachelorette. Brad and Emily both have tempers and I think the watching the Monday night episodes were tough to watch. Emily said if Brad knew she was probably going to be the one, why wasn't she treated more special. I think she was though, remember one of the first shows where he brought a basket with a special cloth to sit on and I think something to drink, the other girls got jealous. I hope they work things out. I really think Brad loves her deeply.

You can go to ABC.com and watch the episodes. It wasn't anything too special, but there were a few good lines from several of the guys! I especially enjoyed Chris L's description of Kasey...it involved roses, hearts and unicorns. Pretty funny stuff!

I think Sean was the most mature (except for the silliness at the visit to his family's home). He really seemed concerned about being a good husband and father. I was sorry to see him go. I visit the boards at abc site and it has been stated that Jef has been "coached" by someone "in the know" on what to say and ask. His conversation with her last night seemed to show that possiblility. I don't think Arie is ready to settle down and be a dad. His lifestyle wouldn't be a match for how she has been living in NC. I know Ricki's dad was a racecar driver but that's not what she has been used to in her short life. From the previews, which they edit to bring drama, it seems she is still confused. Some on the boards are saying that the ATRC is being shown live because she doesn't agree to an engagement at the FRC but does at the ATRC.
