There is just a lot of TRUTH in this latest blog post from Ashley Spivey:

Ben says that he has moments where he can see himself with Lindzi.  Those other moments are spent fantasizing about skinny dipping with Courtney again.

So true.


So TRUE! Ben played it really poorly with Kacie's dad.



I just like this picture because Ben's hair looks especially terrible. And he looks even more like Francine:




Nicki’s Dad makes a sweet speech at the table and Ben’s guilty feelings are written all over his face.  I think he knows that eventually he will end things with Nicki and he will hurt her once again.

So. True.

Ben saves the best for last and heads to Scottsdale, Arizona to meet Courtney’s family.  During the hometown dates, the girls are kept in isolation and all of this alone time must be getting to Courtney.  She feels remorseful for saying mean things about the girls.  Or the producers brought her in to do voiceovers since all of America hates her and they need us to care about her.

And that is the truest thing in the whole episode.

OH man. I feel bad that I'm just now getting to this, but it's awesome per usual, so be sure to check out Ashley Spivey's "Say no to Cosmo" blog. My faves:


At dinner, Kacie tells Ben a powerful story from her past.  For a year she struggled with an eating disorder but it has made her a stronger person.  Ben looked like this picture for a majority of the conversation.

I agree! I felt like he was totally zoning out for this convo.

This was DEFINITELY my favorite screenshot:




Ben really likes when girls do what he tells them to do so he decides to reward Emily with some tongue!

Preach!

And finally, I'll leave you with this:

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.

Is it embarassing how much I look forward to her blog? Is it embarassing that I myself write a Bachelor blog? Ok don't answer that. I SAID don't answer it!

ANYWAY, I really appreciate this commentary on Lyndzi's foundation! It's been bugging me:


The group date card comes and I once again cringe at Lindzi’s foundation which is about 3 shades darker than her face.  It also has too much orange pigment.  Regardless, she’s still pretty.

Also an excellent point - Ben looks scared here, not sexy:


Whoaaaaaa Nelly!  Ben riding up on the group date is also not sexy.  The girls are all super psyched that they get to wear sexy fishing clothing and go fly fishing!!!

Ok I'll let you read her blog on your own, but I had to point out my last favorite screenshot:


Later on the group date we find out that Nicki has a major tell when she gets drunk - her nose gets really red.
