Wow, really? I think it would be extremely disappointing to the vast majority of viewers. The internet loves Jash, at least from what I've seen, not to mention all of Ash's Bach friends and alums. On Monday night, people were tweeting for JP to "take her home already," and have you read the comments on JP's vlog? If this is a fakeout, TPTB are doing major, major harm to whatever couple they have. Also, I can't ever imagine Ashley or JP signing up for this if they don't comprise the duo known as Cupcake. LOL!

So people will be disappointed if she picks the 'wrong' guy? I thought we were supposed to be happy if Ashley is happy?

I'd see it more as a complete disappointment and mockery of the 'real' couple if Ash and JP and whoever the surprise F1 was were totally okay with faking out the paps just to get the viral media buzz. The fake Bentley stuff is bad enough, but it's even worse if the real final couple is that much of a Fleiss-puppet to throw people off, all outside the actual show! Saying 'tee hee I can't say whether I picked someone' is being coy... faking a hotel stay with your not-F1 seems to be going a bit far! JMO

I don't think JP would participate in something like that, never. Think about Chantal last season and the hell she went through because of the spoiler that she was F1 ..... do you think she would have played a part in the deception? I don't. It's one thing for the spoiler to say he had a Thanksgiving dinner with her and her family, but another thing for her to have posed for the pics.

People will be disappointed if they're seeing a love story and get 'proof' it's for real post show and then it's all fake. TPTB contributed to the demise of Brad and Emily with the fake spoiler and I see no point in doing it again.

Thanks so much DMBfan!! JP looks so hot!

In those pics, I can't tell if the background is the same for Ashley and JP at all. I don't have great photo analysis skills, but it doesn't look like it to me.

Oh, and YES I will be disappointed if JP isn't the F1 because that's who I see her as best with, for a variety of reasons! I was upset with Brad picking Emily because they were so obviously not right for each other, and he really had something with Chantal. I'm not one of those "whoever the lead picks is ok with me" types - I like the love story to go the way I see it :P

DMBfan - thank you for the screen grabs!

It does appear the pics of Ashley are very recent based on her hair matching the picture of her at the airport (though not her Jimmy Kimmel hair, which might've been because Skype distorted the color).

It sure would be nice to be able to establish the pics of JP as being in the same time frame and place. It looks to me like they got him crossing the street whereas they got Ashley right outside the hotel. They didn't by any chance say which hotel or neighborhood in New York did they?

Hard to tell when she is just exiting the hotel (?) and he is in the middle of a cross walk. I feel like maybe the pap caught him first near the hotel and he stuck around for awhile to see if Ashley would emerge...and she did.

Thanks so much for the pics DMBFan! It doesn't look like they are at the same place. lol But they are farther apart so that could be why.

by Alanna Fri Jul 01, 2011 11:19 am

Ashley's pic has to be from Sunday or super early Monday because she was spotted at Dunkin on Monday morning in the blog I posted yesterday. Can't believe it came in handy! LOL.

Doesn't look like the same location and Ashley holding a Starbucks doesn't help either. I am now thinking they were both caught in NY but not together.

I'm curious about the neighborhood too. As I mentioned last night, she was seen on the Upper East Side at a Starbucks, but there are really no hotels near the Starbucks she was at.
