With 12 guys left, none will be left out of dates this week. Two guys will get 1-1 dates while the rest will go on the group date. Chris Harrison tells the guys that he won't be giving out the first date just yet because they are travelling to Thailand! And you get a car! And you get a car! Oh wait, wrong show...
In Thailand, Ashley commiserates the loss of Bentley. Girl is hung up and needs to move on. She enlists the help of Annie, the resort lady to help plan the dates. Annie looks confused and shocked when Ashley tells her that she has 12 guys with her. Either that, or Annie thinks Ashley is a high-priced hooker.
Date Category: 1-1Bachelor Involved: Constantine
Location: Phuket, Thailand
Highlights: Ashley and Constantine are supposed to take a catamaran to a private island, however the weather sucks, so that is cancelled. They decide to go into town to walk around the shops and talk to the locals. Constantine kind of looks like Josh Groban. I like Josh Groban. They enlist the help of a translator when talking to a shop owner who has been married for 36 years. His advice for marriage is to forgive and forget. He also told them to not try to win...in other words, "Yes, Dear." Constantine and Ashley discuss sweating like beasts, which they both are. Sweaty mess is not a good look for a date. Ashley wants to tell Constantine how she felt about the whole Bentley situation, but she doesn't. Back at the resort JP, Blake and Ben F. discuss Ashley and who has kissed her. JP gets jealous and I think it's cute. Ashley tells Constatine that he was able to help her get back on her feet and that their date was per-fact.
Status: Constantine gets the rose
Date Category: GroupBachelors Involved: Ben F., JP, Blake, Mickey, West, Ben C., Nick, Lucas, William, Ryan
Location: Phuket, Thailand (Baan San Fan Orphanage)
Highlights: The Baan San Fan Orphanage was created for the children who lost their parents during the 2004 tsunami. Ashley and the guys are going to spruce up the buildings. They guys don't like how Ryan takes charge and is constantly 'on'. My friend pointed out Ryan's poor technique when painting near the ceiling. Ben F. decides to paint a mural on one of the walls. He paints an elephant while Ashley paints some flowers. The kids love their new home. At the party later that night Ashley dons a bikini covered by a crotched tunic, which Ryan approves of. Ashley and Ben F. connect over the day at the orphange and he reads the signals really well (i.e. Ashley puckering her lips) and moves in for a kiss. The rest of the guys discuss their dislike of Ryan and hope that he doesn't get the rose again. Ryan tells Ashley that he gets along with the other guys. Little does he know... Ashley pulls JP aside because she feels like he's been standoff-ish. We find out that Ashley fell asleep on JP's chest on their last 1-1 date. She thinks that JP's kisses are magical, the per-fact cure for Bentley-itis. As Ashley starts to hand out the date rose, Ryan interrupts and pulls her away for a quick chat. He's starting to annoy me. Also, I didn't like the lack of Ben C. on this date.

Date Category: 1-1Bachelor Involved: Ames
Location: Phuket, Thailand
Highlights: Ames sure does like those button-down shirts with the shoulder straps. I also saw on Twitter where someone said he was the lost member of a boy band, which I find hilarious. Ames talks a lot about being spontaneous and going to cooking school in Thailand spontaneously. They hop into a kayak and proceed into a secluded lagoon. I'm pretty sure I saw a scary movie that started like this once. Ashley comments that the water feels like bathwater, and coincidentally it looks like bathwater too. Did you know that Ames likes women who are spontaneous? I would have never guessed. Ashley and Ames are both wearing navy blue tops and white bottoms to dinner. They both have "nerd areas" in their houses; Ashley has a bunch of dental stuff in her closet and Ames has white boards full of math everywhere. Fun...not.

Pre Rose Ceremony Party:
Ashley questions whether or not West is ready for another marriage with his wife passing away less than a year ago. He says that he is ready to move on. Lucas, who is divorced, hasn't dated much since then but is open to different types of women. Oh rly? Blake confronts Ryan to tell him that he is getting on everyone's nerves. Ryan seems perplexed by this news. Blake tells Ryan that he is too intense. Ryan pretty much says that he won't apologize for being happy all the time. Ashley then asks Ryan if he's always happy. He says that he is bursting with a lot of love in his chest...or whatever.
Ashley tells Chris Harrison that she is still a bit hung up on Bentley. She says that him leaving with the "..." prevented her from getting closure. She says that she will always wonder what could have been. She did say that she is starting to see some relationships that could possibly trump what she had with Bentley. Ashley tells Chris Harrison that she was originally going to send Ames home on his 1-1 date but what glad she didn't because he has a lot of qualities she's looking for. She is going to break the rules and ask for an extra rose and only send one guy home.
Rose Ceremony:
Rose-d: Constantine, Ben F., Ames, Lucas, Ryan, JP, Nick, Mickey, Blake, William, Ben C.
Sent Home: West
Number of times Ashley said Bentley's name: Approx. 18...17 too many if you ask me.
