Media Discussion - Bachelorette 7 - Spoilers

Life & Style's got the most coverage: large pictures of JP (paparazzi pic from New York) and Ashley (I think from her Taiwan date with Ben F?) that are kind of photoshopped to make it look like they're together on the cover. Small inset blurry picture of her with Ben F in the MTP/LCD date type scene also on the cover. There's text about how happy Ashley is and there's also a line that JP tells her he loves her.

Inside: Not a whole lot of details about the proposal, just that Ashley was nervous waiting for her F1 and when he did propose, she said yes with tears in her eyes and jumped into his arms. They don't say who F1 is.

They say unlike Bremily, Ashley and her F1 are very happy together since filming ended. The article says the producers have learned their lesson from Bremily and are letting Ashley and her F1 see each other more often in the hopes they'll last (my editorial note is I thought Bremily saw each other much less often than other lead-F1 couples?). An unnamed source says Ashley's broken the rules and actually worn her engagement ring to UPenn Dental sometimes even though she's not allowed to reveal the outcome? This might be useful for sleuthing if we get screencaps of the guys looking at rings: the ring is described as a flawless diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds. 3.5 karat if Life & Style's even accurate. Life & Style also says a "friend" of the F1 says he's always smiling lately and when he's asked about the B'ette show he says he's really happy.

The article also says that unlike Emily, Ashley's ready to move for her man. Ashley is allegedly already looking into places she can be a dentist in "his city" - they definitely said city and the article says she will move there in a couple months.

There are 3 paparazzi pictures of Ashley with Ben F and 2 of them are kind of blurry. The best quality one also shows a cameraman filming their 20 minute walk on the beach. One caption says an onlooker says Ben F looked like he had a lot on his mind during the date (my editorial note: he seems like a thoughtful guy and he always looks like he has a lot on his mind!). I didn't see any revealing pictures.

The Life & Style article also has a tiny little bit about Ryan's return and quotes RS as saying he was probably told coming back would increase his chances of being the next Bachelor.

In Touch has another buzzkill speculative article. Basically says JP will leave Ashley even though they're together now, spending time together since filming ended, and are rumored to be engaged. It talks about Ashley showing on TV how insecure she is and the article asks who would want to date that and says JP won't because he likes confident, energetic people. There's even part of the story that says the high school version of Ashley would have appealed to JP but not the version that's had her heart broken by Brad and Bent Also says JP is a player and not ready to settle down according to an anonymous insider. No wonder Ashley called out In Touch as full of crap. IMO this is just standard tabloid punishment for doing exclusive publicity with a competing tabloid.

Star and OK have a CL/Peyton blurb and Emily story respectively that I'll post about in their threads

The Bachelorette: secrets of the proposal

(photos via link below)

As this season of Bachelorette nears an end, three men remain: JP, Ben F. and Constantine. But only one will win Ashley Hebert's heart--and now, Life & Style can reveal exclusive details of that magical moment when the man of Ashley's dreams proposed!

Filmed on the secluded shore of Fiji at the Vomo Island Resort, Ashley was wearing a long sequined pale-pink gown surrounded by tropical flowers, as the winner proposed with a stunning modern-style 3.5-carat Neil Lane diamond ring. With tears in her eyes, Ashley said yes!

Unlike past seasons, in the months since the proposal, Ashley and her fiancé have been seeing each other and it's keeping their relationship going strong. "The producers have finally realized that keeping the couples apart is contributing to the quick dissolution of the relationships," an insider tells Life & Style. "So they're trying a different tactic with these two and letting them see each other more in the hopes they'll stay together for the long run." So far the plan is working. In fact, Ashley's already scoping out places to live in her fiancé's city. "She's been talking about moving to where her fiancé lives in the next couple of months," a friend tells Life & Style.

And Ashley's fiancé feels the same way. A pal says that the winning Bachelor has been ecstatic since returning home from Fiji. "He always has a smile on his face," raves the friend. "I asked him what it was like being on The Bachelorette, and he grinned and said, 'It changed my life.'"

Check out behind-the-scenes photos from The Bachelorette filming in Fiji and learn more about the proposal in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now in New York and nationwide Friday.

Letting them see each other alot kinda makes me wonder if some of the sightings were legit. (key word wonder :hidingchair ) Maybe TPTB decided that a happy together couple is better for the franchise than weakening one for the sake of keeping a secret.. who knows.

I just keep thinking that Ali was MF's all star bette.. well let's be honest probably the MVP of the whole series. Her and Roberto's proposal is plastered on the show's Emmy nomination poster. MF loves Aliberto... I think he likes where Jash is going.

Now if they could only get a Bach season right.
