Bachelorette Ashley Episode 8
Its Hometown Date Time!!!! I always love seeing the different places and the different family’s people come from. Usually explains a lot.
We have Ben F, Constantine, My boy AMES and J.P. left.
Constantine gets the first hometown so Ash’s first stop is Atlanta, GA.
Giorgios’s is his Italian restaurant and he takes Ash there to cook a meal and spend time together. I like his passion for what he does – its really awesome when someone truly loves what they do. I know it’s a turn on for me when a woman has that same kind of passion.
I like what his dad said….”I can tell when I see his face.” Dad’s do seem to have this ability. His family seemed really cool and close, which is great. Very open, very loving and looked like an easy family to get to know and fit in easy with.
The surprise party was so awesome!!!! Made me miss my family a lot. L
I have to say his family was what I expected they would be – judging by what I’ve seen of Constantine. A+
My dog Ames is next! Off to New York Ash goes…. I’m thinking a very college professor type home. Brown jackets with the light brown elbow pads and bow tie with a few Atlases in the house with little marks for the places they have visited.
I don’t normally notice dudes clothes but Ames has some good taste. His family seems really nice. House is sick! Not quite as Oxford as I thought though. Very well rounded individuals. Poor Ames has had two fathers that passed away. I can’t imagine how that changes a person.
Ames sister really drilled Ash though – but she handled it really well. It’s hard to talk to these family’s, I’m sure. But I think she did a really great job!
I feel like Ames really really likes Ash, but he keeps a lot in and moves slow in letting someone get to know him. I really like this guy. He takes her to his favorite tree and really starts to open up. Say’s he was a nerd growing up. He would probably like the Harry Potter movie I saw last night then. DON’T go see it. Sucked! Holy shit I can’t believe so many people watch those things.
I think Ash is intrigued by Ames, but I really don’t see the spark in her eye when she is with him.
Next she travels across the country to Sonoma, CA to see Ben F. – the winemaker. One of my best friend’s is a winemaker…some of you might know him….. JESSE ANDRAS KOVACS!! <3 Kovacs wine is the best wine on the planet earth. Check it out: www.kovacsbrothers.com Sorry Ben F.
Ben shows her around and they drink some of his wine, then sit down and he tells her about his father who passed. He is really nervous about bringing her to see his family. Said he has only brought one girl home – ever!
He really wants Ash to get along with his mother and sister. It seems like he is building it up a little much and making her feel nervous.
His mom and sister seemed really nice. They are very protective over him. I like his outlook with Ash and how he is not forcing anything. His parents’ marriage was a big influence and I wish all kids could have a marriage like that to look up to.
With my father fighting cancer right now, I am actually getting choked up watching this. I don’t know how I would handle losing him and to think about it or see someone else who lost their father is upsetting… and I feel for him.
Shit, I hope my roommate does not walk in right now. I’m not sure I could explain me watching the Bachelorette by myself with a tear in my eye. I gotta get my shit together. This would be the second time he walked in on my crying to a TV show. I lost it on the Dale Earnhardt ESPN special and he walked in to me curled up in a blanket sniffling. Lol
Time out while I go smell some leather, build something with my hands, workout and watch a video with heavy machinery in it………. OK. Back to normal.
J.P is next…missed his hometown and the thing won’t rewind?? Anyway they are going to go roller-skating. LOL. Kind of cute. Ash looks sexy in those jeans. For some reason they just seem natural together.
He really seems to have been hurt from a girl in his past and like the kind of guy who falls real hard. Nothing wrong with that, but sometimes when you fall real hard you get hurt real bad.
All of these families have been amazing and his is no different. His mother is cute. Not going to lie, I’m tired of hearing about this other girl that broke his heart. They need to stop focusing on her and on J.P. and Ash instead! Look! People get dumped and it sucks. Stop bringing it up to poor Ash though.
I’m going to say that Constantine’s family was my fav. They were all great but his was so awesome!
So… finally back to L.A. and the mansion. Ash sits down with Chris to go over the dates. (Chris’s hair looks great.) She felt the same and said that Constantine’s family was the best.
Rose Ceremony time! Ben gets the first rose. These are very intense.
J.P. looks like he could murder someone. But he gets the next rose and smiles from ear to ear. Pick Ames, Pick Ames, Pick Ames Pick Ames. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Oh damnit. Oh shit! He is such a good person.
If anyone else ever dumps Ames I’m going to find them! Never stopped smiling until the limo. He is so smart and so well spoken. Buddy you will find love trust me. I think you’re awesome after that – let alone every girl in America crying right now.
The final 3 are left! See you next week!
My Prayers are with your dad. Hope he gets better.
I probably seen like such a stalker or nerd fan but i swear i’m normal, i’m always first to write on your blogs. goood timing i swear!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you blog as your watching helps get the real reactions out of you not everyone does that.
Adding the <3 after kovacs was adorable, love a guy that can show male affection even though hes straight.
anywhooo about to watch the beatdown!
great blog once again, hope you blog & do beatdown for bpad2
And no worries we will see Ames soon enough on bpad2
I felt bad for Ames, but rumours say the boy finds love on the Bachelor Pad with Jacky from Brad’s season. And although he really liked Ash, somehow they weren’t a good match – Ash wants a regular guy but Ames is one of a kind and he needs a lady one of a kind, too.
<3 your blog, always cracks me up!
Hey, I don’t normally comment here, but as soon as I read your comment about crying infront of the TV I thought of this commercial…the guy even looks like you! Enjoy!

Great post! Constantine’s family was great and I think that hometown date was the most comfortable for Ash, but I really didn’t see a spark there.
I haven’t read any spoilers and don’t plan too, so when I say this it is purely my prediction just from watching the show and nothing else. I think the final two will be Ben and JP, and in the end I think she’ll pick JP.
Also, agree with your comment about the new Harry Potter movie. If you’ve read the books at all, then the final movie is a huge letdown. I wrote a blog post about it here: http://gritsandgadgets.com/2011/07/18/the-battle-of-hogwarts-book-vs-movie/
How am I JUST finding this now? LOVE this blog and love the “Beatdown.” Thanks for making me laugh! You are a funny funny man!
So, love your blog as usual….but my real comment is on beatdown. I got busy and am three weeks behind…so basically I just watched the one where Ryan P gets sent home and JP had his meltdown. While I totally get where JP was coming from, your explanation was the funniest shit I’ve ever read. LOVE it! Best part was you did it in a wife beater and a backwards cap.
Welp, I guess they’re fuckin’…..
You crack my ass up…and I love every bit of it….
Can you address this on Bach Beatdown puhleeze?HOW did you and Kovacs NOT make the hottest bachelors list? Seriously. The world wants to know. Gay Jake? No woman likes him….who made that list? Seriously…this question is from a bunch of us. Please address! You said that you want a sexy bachelorette not an Ashley…well stop giving us Ryans and Jakes as the bachelor! We need a REAL man- kovacs or dave good! How do you think the girls watching feel…no one wants to see a mancrier as a bachelor..enough of this!! You have pull with the producers- can you help change this?
i didn’t like you on jillian’s season but i’ve watched on the beatdown showw and i love your comments they are so funny , and yes you are better good looking than jessie kovak to mee
greetings from latin america (venezuela) where the most beautiful women are 
This post was so funny! I literally laughed out loud when you were said you needed to go smell some leather
Your honesty is so refreshing.
i really liked u on jillian’s season. for awhile. Until everyone…even america thought u were being disrepectful to her. But then u apoligized and it seemed really sincere. i watched the bachelor pad beatdown and u were awesome and made me laugh. i cant believe u said half of those things…like the obama comment. but i lol alot. it was awesome. dont worry even though america and i may have thought for a second u were disrepectful to Jillian….I think u redeemed yourself.
ur a funny guy. )
