Ashley Let Your Brain Do the Thinking, Please!

Dearest Eager Beaver,

What on God's green earth is wrong with this season's Bachelorette? I have never seen a such smart, cute, tight-bodied woman with such low self-esteem! How is it possible that she had 25 eligible men get out of that limo in the first show and she falls head-over-heels for the kind of creepy guy a mother hopes her daughter never crosses paths with? If I were talking right now I would be stuttering because I just can't get the words out fast enough or loud enough to express my complete and utter dismay over Ashley's lack of sense. Here's an educated good-looking woman who's about done with dental school, has a to-die-for body, adorable personality (when she's not being annoying of course) and is so insecure about her looks that she somehow immediately zeroes in on the biggest loser ever to come to reality tv because, according to Ashley, "he's hot." Bentley had an X on his forehead from the moment he stepped out of the limo because she had been warned that he wasn't on the show for the right reasons. Yet, not only did she choose to allow him on the show she put him through TWO rose ceremonies and said he is the front runner for her affections. I say he is the front runner for her physical affections.Women like her give women like us a bad name. Out of 25 guys she managed to "nail" the worst in the bunch. She doesn't have a shred of common sense! He is not "hot" he is reprehensible and I would so like to find out how he was raised to be the lowest of low human beings. Also, I have a big question mark over Ashley's parents heads right now too. How did she grow up thinking that everything she had going for her wasn't enough, that if only she was conventionally pretty she would be loveable? But no. She chases the wrong men constantly because she doesn't believe in or respect herself based on nothing but looks. Ashley use the brain God gave you and your heart! If you connect with a man in these two areas everything else will follow! She really is behaving no better than a man right now, all eyes no brains. I'm just disgusted.

OMG Hot Mama,

No other Bachelorette has ever bothered me more than Ashley. I just can't even deal with her at all and I really couldn't agree with you more. Her insecurities are so completely glaring. I thought that we saw them on her season with Brad, and now they are even more clear. It's like REALLY?!?! A friend of yours texts you and tells you that Bentley is there with bad intentions and doesn't actually want to pursue you, and somehow you still decide to keep him around?! And not just through one rose ceremony, but multiple rose ceremonies. Is it just because he is good looking and this is the first "hot" guy who has ever been interested in her? It's really interesting that you say that she doesn't think that she is good enough. It seems like she is so uncomfortable in her own skin and so wrapped up in her looks. I can't imagine what it's going to be like for poor Ashley going forward when she has to watch these episodes. Seeing all of the terrible things that Bentley has said about her, and wishing that it was Emily or Chantal instead of her... It's certainly not going to bolster her self-esteem. But really she needed Hot Mama around to teach her about being self-confident and picking a man who is there for the right reasons! I don't know how I am going to make it through the rest of the season watching her doubt herself at every single turn!

No Accounting for Taste...

Eager Beaver,

There's a reason for the saying "there's someone for everyone" because there's just no accounting for taste when it comes to men. Last night on "The Bachelorette" Ali was down to three guys when Frank suddenly decides to reveal that he still has feelings for his ex-girlfriend Nicole. Now I don't want to go on a rant about how cowardly this was on Frank's part, to wait until he got to go to Tahiti on the show's dime before finally revealing what had been holding him back all season with Ali, but, really, what did she see in him in the first place? I mean, I never did get it, except for the fact that he supposedly made her laugh a lot, although I didn't really even see that because she was constantly trying to reassure him that he was still in the running. When in fact, he was in the running, running home to Nicole that is!


Ok, dang, I lost control and went on a rant. The point is, she had three very different men left but the only one I ever had eyes for was Chris, from the first moment. So handsome, so nice, so sincere, so sweet and yet so darn masculine. Did he look hot in all those beach shots or what?!! And when he found out about the Fantasy suite well, let's just say I had some fantasies of my own. If I had a met a guy like Chris when I was younger I would've said "put a fork in me, I'm done"! Who she should pick just seems so obvious to me but I'm pretty sure she's got her knickers in a twist over Roberto. He's handsome and nice enough but not my type. And finally, I come to my point, you say "Roberto" and I say "Cape Cod-o". Here's to variety being the spice of life.

Hot Mama,

With tonight's episode of "The Bachelorette," quickly approaching I couldn't help thinking about Ali and Frank's confession. I couldn't agree more with you that Frank is a complete coward. Although, I guess it is better that he did it before Ali picked him. (We all knew she would in the end!) That episode was really hard to watch because I totally felt for Nicole, and couldn't imagine what it would be like to watch an ex that you are still in love with, dating someone else on national television. Ali and Nicole both claimed that Frank was this amazing, funny, great, guy, but I didn't see it at all. After that first night and their initial chemistry, it seemed to go downhill quickly. I mean really, who wants to be with a guy who needs CONSTANT reassurance. I can't believe Ali wasn't exhausted from telling him how much she liked him all the time. Out of all of the show's past seasons, Ali has given away more clues to her "true feelings" than any other contestant. I am still routing for Chris, but I am pretty sure Ali is going to pick Roberto. I hope she does, because Chris could do way better. Talk about the ultimate catch! Can't wait to see what happens tonight...
