Chris Harrison just said "sup fellas?". Um no, Harrison, no one has said that since 2002. Two guys are going home this week and there are no roses to be handed out during the 1-1 dates. However, there will be a rose handed out on the group date. Lucas feels confident. Well, you shouldn't. JP's green-eyed jealousy monster is going to rear its ugly head soon. You can see it simmering in the vein that is pulsing in his neck.
Date Category: 1-1Bachelor Involved: Constantine
Location: A remote village in the Taiwanese countryside
Highlights: Ashley and Constantine board a train to go to a village outside of Taipei. I hate Ashley's shirt. I really hope she has some pasties on. Ladies, I don't care how small or big your boobs are, always wear some kind of support. Nothing is more embarrassing or unnecessary than 'headlights' and boobs flopping all over the place. This isn't Baywatch, it's real life! You feel me? Ashley and Constantine put their 'love wishes' on paper lanterns that will be released into the sky at night. Anyone else feel like Constantine should have been on DeAnna's season? The nice, Greek boy from Georgia meets the nice, Greek girl from Georgia? Ashley is trying to show Constantine some affection by putting her hand on his leg and he couldn't be more disconnected. Time to let the love lanterns fly! OMG, this totally reminds me of the scene in Tangled. Anyone else? Constantine is open to the idea of falling for Ashley and wants to take her to meet his family.
Date Category: 1-1Bachelor Involved: Ben F.
Location: Taiwan (Taroko National Park)
Highlights: Ashley and Ben are going to take a moped to sight see around the park. She needs to make sure she has an emotional and physical connection with Ben in order to keep him around. Well, if she doesn't have those connections with him, I have this friend who would. And by friend, I mean myself of course. Ben thinks that his wine is better than the wine they are having at dinner, which he will touch upon during his hometown date. He is feeling confident about getting a hometown date and about his feelings for Ashley. Ashley, in turn, feels like Ben is her boyfriend.
The guys wake up the next day to find out that Ben's 1-1 date turned into an overnight date. JP is testing the limits of his seven deadly sins (jealousy). Oh JP, dare I say it? Are you in love? I think yes.
Date Category: GroupBachelors Involved: Ames, JP, Lucas
Location: Taipei, Taiwan (Photography district)
Highlights: Ashley and the three guys are going to experience taking wedding photos in a district where people from all over Taiwan go to get their wedding pictures done. Lucas gets to wear a gold gown, Ames gets a suit straight out of 1982 (or the offspring of an ostrich and Elton John according to JP), and JP gets a modern tux. Ashley and Lucas take traditional Taiwanese photos, hence the gold gown Lucas wears. Ashley and Ames take pictures that could appear in anyone's wedding album from the 1980s. Ashley and JP take modern photos. JP is still having difficulty keeping his jealousy under wraps. Lucas didn't like that he had to wear a dress. Uh, it was a gown Lucas..a man gown. Lucas's biological clock is ticking; he wants kids, like yesterday. Why is Ames wearing magenta jeans? I'm so confused. Did he steal them from the wedding photo place? He liked the 80s wedding garb so much, he had to take some home with him? JP confides in Ashley about his jealousy. Ashley thought he was cucumber cool. He said that his feelings for Ashley changed everything.
Status: JP gets a rose which guarantees him a hometown date.
Date Category: 1-1Bachelor Involved: Ryan P.
Location: Taiwan (Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Square)
Highlights: OMG Ashley, what is up with your backless shirts? If the wind blows any harder, everyone in Taiwan is going to see everything you (don't) own. And in a temple! Oh my lawd... She went from only wearing shirts as dresses to wearing shirts missing their backs. Ryan is yearning to share his life with one person. He said yearning, not me. Don't shoot the blogger. Ashley and Ryan throw some stones on the ground and they land on the same side, which is apparently bad, very bad. I will say one thing. The 5 o'clock shadow is working for Ryan. At dinner, Ryan asks what Ashley does to 'go green.' Ashley says she doesn't have much knowledge but wants to learn. Ryan talks about water heaters and all I hear is the Charlie Brown teacher voice. I recycle, but I don't need to talk about it on a date, at least with not that must zest anyway. Ashley can't take it anymore so she starts to let Ryan down and tells him that she'll be sending him home. Ryan is confused and looks like he's about ready to cry. Mr. Sunshine's parade was just poo-poo'd on. Ashley isn't 100% confident that she made the right decision. Ryan has the the sads. Cheer up Charlie, I'm sure you'll be the next Bachelor...as long as you don't talk about what an Earth destroyer water heaters are. Leave the Earth's destruction to the Decepticons. :)
Status: Ryan is sent home.
Pre-Rose Ceremony Party
There will be no party because Ashley knows what she wants to do. She made up her mind after she sent Ryan home. Oh snap.
Rose Ceremony
Rose-d: JP, Constantine, Ben, Ames
Sent Home: Ryan, Lucas
Episode 8 Preview
Ashley goes the the remaining four bachelors' hometowns to meet their family and friends. There will be Greek dancing where Constantine's dad will make it rain, carriage riding with Ames, emotional talks with Ben and heart guarding with JP.
Emily Maynard Interview

Brad and Emily are officially over. She is already a mess and she hasn't even started talking to Chris yet. Brad is not participating in the interview. Emily feels that she will always be in love with Brad and will never speak a bad word about him. Emily says that she fully planned on moving to Austin but red flags kept popping up. She felt like she couldn't pack up and move her child when she had so many doubts about whether or not she and Brad would last. Understandable. Emily hopes that by doing the interview, people (haters) will leave she and Brad alone.
