Check it out: HELLS YES Ashley Spivey!

I know I'm late with this...but AWESOME, honest blog from Ashley Spivey! I wrote my recap of the episode right after I saw it, before I saw any recaps from other people, and I was really upset by the way Ben acted, especially what he said to Emily. Then the next morning I read everyone else's recaps, and no one reacted quite as strongly as I did, and I started to second guess myself.


THEN Ashley posts her blog. And it's AWESOME. And it says everything I was thinking and more. Let's dive in...

No, don’t worry, I’m not going to stop blogging for this season but I think I’m done with trying to defend Ben and his decisions or find a way to see a love story unfolding.

Damn! 

He picks up the rose but then tells Elyse that he will not be giving it to her.  OUCH!

Elyse seems to think that it was something that she did that made Ben send her home.  Instead of being brutally honest with her like he was for most of the date, he opts to sugar coat things.  This infuriates me because he got so mad at Ashley for this same exact thing.

Emily starts out apologizing to Ben for the Courtney talk last week but then she goes and starts dissing Courtney again.  Ben cannot hide his disgust - it is written all over his face.  He even tells Emily to, “Be careful and tread lightly.”  I was hoping that Emily would just get up and kick sand in his face.  No guy should talk to you like that or not be open to hearing you show concern. 

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I was saying! It really pisses me off that he was talking to her like that. You could argue that he's trying to give her "advice," but he sounds extremely condescending and it comes off very controlling. Unattractive.
