Last night on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert met the in-laws of the remaining four men: Constantine Tzortzis, Ames Brown, Ben Flajnik, and J.P. Rosenbaum.  As she traveled to the contestant’s hometown and met their families, her spark grew for some of the guys, while she questioned her relationship and love with others. In the end, she sent Brown home. Here’s what Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak had to say about the episode in our exclusive interview:

This week on The Bachelorette, Ashley has narrowed the pool to four men for the hometown dates.  Coming up are visits with the families of Constantine, Ames, Ben and J.P. Let’s see what it was like to meet the in-laws:

First up was food-lover, Constantine and a visit to his family in Cumming, GA.  After a cozy chat by a lake, Ashley and her man ventured off to his Italian restaurant.  Yes, Greek heritage with an Italian restaurant-interesting combo.  Anyway, the heat was certainly on in the kitchen as the lovebirds cooked up some treats.  Following their delicious quality time the pair went to meet Constantine’s extremely close-knit family.  All season, we’ve known Constantine was a family man, and after his hometown date we can now see why. Ashley not only met his immediate family but the couple was surprised when the doorbell rang and in walked about 20 more extended family members to greet Constantine for a Welcome Back Greek-style dance party.  Despite the good times and cool dance moves, Constantine’s parents emphasized over and over that love takes time.  This seemed to be the theme of the night from most of the families.

Preview of Episode 8 of The Bachelorette Season 7

Next week on reality TV’s The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert and her four guys will be returning to the states after a whirlwind tour of Asia. That means it’s time for the all-important hometown dates!  This week, the bachelorette will be meeting the families of the following men: Constantine Tzortzis, Ben Flajnik, J.P. Rosenbaum, and Ames Brown. Creating a solid relationship with the family is a critical step in The Bachelorette process, and the sneak peek promises that Hebert will immediately feel at home with Tzortzis’s family. After remarking “I love your family, and I’m moving in,” the bubbly brunette is treated to a “Welcome Home, Constantine!” dance party with the Atlanta native’s extended family. If Hebert is looking for a relationship and love with a family man, maybe this is it — after all, Tzortzis says that family is an “integral part” of his life. Could he be the winner of The Bachelorette season 7?

Last night’s episode of The Bachelorette left us with the final six men! Ashley Hebert’s game face was on as she committed to finding the total package in a guy — an emotional and physical connection — before she would grant a rose for hometown dates.  The episode featured J.P. Rosenbaum whining about the fact that Ben Flajnik had an overnight date and Ryan Park looking like he was on the brink of a nervous breakdown if he didn’t get a solo date with the bachelorette. However, the highlight of the evening was when Emily Maynard came back on the show to chat with Chris Harrison about her relationship and love with Brad Womack — or lack thereof. If you missed last night’s episode of the reality TV show, here’s how it all went down: Continue reading →

It’s been two weeks since we caught up with Ashley Hebert in her search for love on The Bachelorette. During the last episode, it seemed like our leading lady finally found closure to her obsession with Bentley, and her feelings for the remaining six bachelors were starting to blossom.  This week’s episode takes us to Taiwan for more over-the-top wedding-themed dates (you may recall her Vegas escapade with William earlier this season). Certainly, the Taiwan Tourism Bureau had a lot to do with this episode as they’re now offering special packages to fans who want to recreate Ashley’s dates. During a group date, the bachelorette and three of her men model traditional Taiwanese wedding apparel. When will this wedding theme end?

Now here’s the good part: Monday’s episode will include an appearance from Emily Maynard!  She’ll be stopping by to talk with Chris Harrison about her recent break-up with Brad Womack.  Will she be the next Bachelorette?  We sure hope so!  Tune in on Monday, July 11 at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central and be sure to send us your questions for our resident Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak!

It’s almost time again for the 2nd annual “Reality Reunion” on Catalina Island.  If you haven’t had your fill of drama and cat fighting during this year’s reality television season, there’s sure to be some juicy gossip at this summer’s over sized party where contestants from the Bachelor, Bachelorette, Survivor and The Amazing Race are all set to travel to Catalina Island.  There will be raffles, contests, partying and tons of fun.

A portion of the ticket proceeds will go to the “name a tent” fundraiser for the Catalina Experience- a non-profit organization whose mission is to create awareness of the local marine environment and of the critical habitat found on Catalina Island.  All remaining funds from the weekend will go to Stand Up 2 Cancer.

Unfortunately for all you reality TV fans, the event is for reality stars only.  However, four lucky fans can snag tickets to this year’s Reality Reunion by heading to www.realityreunion.com and purchasing them for $1,500 each. Who knows, you may come back with a rose or at the very least a tee-shirt that says you survived the 2nd annual Reality Reunion weekend!

As we all saw last night on The Bachelorette, it was an emotional evening for Ashley.  She put a “period” on her “dot dot dot” relationship with Bentley and had to confess her secret meeting (and feelings) for the bad boy to the remaining bachelors. Here’s what our resident Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak had to say about the episode:

We’ve been waiting for Bentley to return for weeks.  When Ashley spoke with him in Hong Kong, were you surprised by anything he said to her?

Bentley is so used to talking to girls until they are totally confused, and then they just do exactly what he wants.  Nothing Bentley said to Ashley last night made any sense!

We all know Bentley was never truly interested in Ashley.  So why do you think he kept saying things like if things didn’t work out with her and the guys, she had the option of looking him up in Salt Lake City?

He figured worst case scenario, “we can hook up”!  That’s it.

After Ashley Hebert’s confession to host Chris Harrison last week in Thailand and sneak peeks from ABC, it was no surprise that this week’s drama would center around Bentley Williams. Before the dates could start in Hong Kong, our bachelorette was treated to a private meeting with the bad boy. In the privacy of Williams’s hotel room, the pair had an honest conversation about Hebert’s feelings about their “dot dot dot” romance. After the villain said, “I feel like where you’re at in this process and journey, we should call it a period,” the bachelorette finally seemed to see his true colors. As she walked away from his room, she called him a “player” and shared that she felt “liberated” to move forward in her relationships and love with the remaining bachelors. With that chaos in the past, this week’s reality TV episode would feature two one-on-one dates as well as a group date.

Ashley Hebert and the remaining eight bachelor contestants bid Thailand adieu and now find themselves in Hong Kong.  While it seems like our dentist in distress made significant progress in several of her relationships – notably with winemaker Ben F. – she made it clear to host Chris Harrison that she still needed closure with the never ending Bentley drama, as he was proving to be quite the roadblock on her journey to find love.  Since ABC’s Bachelor franchise can’t resist drama, this season’s trouble maker ‘wants to talk to Ashley’ – in person – since a phone conversation simply wouldn’t make for good television.  Will he keep tugging on Ashley’s heart strings or will he finally reveal his true colors?  And how will the contestants – you know, the guys that want to be with Ashley – react to the news of his return?

Tune into ABC on Monday, June 27 at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central to see what the single dad has to say for himself.  While you’re watching, don’t forget to send us your questions about Bentley and anything else rose-related for our Bachelorette expert, Jesse Csincsak!

Last night on The Bachelorette, we said goodbye to Ben Castoriano, William Holman, and Nick Peterson. Their journey for a relationship and love with Ashely Hebert ended in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. We also learned that our bachelorette needs closure with Bentley Williams in order to move on with her other guys — and it looks like he’ll be coming back next week!  Here’s what Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak had to say about the episode in our exclusive celebrity interview:

Last night on ABC’s The Bachelorette, the gang traveled to the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Ashley Hebert was optimistic that it was “the perfect city to fall in love” and she hoped the change of scenery would mark her new beginning with the bachelors.  Here’s what happened during this chapter of her love story:

During last week’s episode of The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert did her best to move forward in beautiful Phuket, Thailand and leave Bentley in the past.  We even saw her connections grow stronger with several guys, including Constantine, Ben F. , J.P. and Ames.  However, don’t think Bentley’s become a distant memory for Ashley just yet!  As you’ll see in next week’s preview, our lady in distress confides in Chris Harrison about her nagging feelings for this season’s villain.  The always comforting and wise host says that due to her one-track mind, “This is not going work…this is not going to have a happy ending.”  Chris even asks Ashley what she wants to do, and we’re left wondering if Bentley will show up in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where the gang finds themselves this week.  Considering Bentley left things open-ended, we’re guessing we’ll see him again soon!

Tune into ABC on Monday, June 20 at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central to see if the single dad appears in Asia to continue his mind games with Ashley.  While you’re watching, send us your questions about Bentley and anything else rose-related for our Bachelorette expert, Jesse Csincsak!

Last night on The Bachelorette, Ashley Hebert put her best foot forward to move past the heartbreak of losing Bentley Williams and traveled to Thailand with the guys. Her relationships and love with Constantine Tzortzis, J.P. Rosenbaum, and Ben Flajnik seemed to be on the fast-track. And while the men questioned Ryan Park’s genuineness, Hebert and the boys said goodbye to West. Here’s what resident Bachelorette expert Jesse Csincsak’s had to say in our celebrity interview:

Between William’s unexpected “roast” and Bentley’s early departure on Monday’s episode, it’s been a rocky road for Ashley Hebert.  If you’re ready for some fun in the sun and more of the bubbly dental student we’ve grown to know, you’re in luck!  As you’ll see in the “Shirtless Sneak Peek” below, the gang is in Phuket, Thailand and Ashley is treated to hot tub time with Nick – and we’re in store for some serious eye candy!  Up until this point, we haven’t gotten to know Nick very well, but the preview promises that this trainer’s physique is Adonis-like, and the other bachelors encourage him to “let your chest do the talking”!  Will Nick’s washboard abs help distract Ashley from her recent heartache?  We all know our bachelorette is looking for a man of substance – is there more to Nick than his chiseled physique?

Watch the latest installment of Ashley’s love story on Monday, June 13 at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central.  While you’re watching, let us know if you have questions for our resident Bachelorette expert, Jesse Csincsak – we’re so pleased to have him on board giving his insider perspective about season 7 of ABC’s The Bachelorette.  We’ll be back on Tuesday, sharing both an episode recap and scoop from Jesse!

It’s week 3 of ABC’s The Bachelorette and leading up to the episode, we were promised that self-proclaimed front-runner Bentley would become the biggest villain in Bachelorette history and bring heartbreak to Ashley.  In case you missed out on the action, here’s what left our dentist in distress questioning if the she’d ever find her Prince Charming:

The drama surrounding self-proclaimed “front-runner” and behind-the-scenes conniver Bentley has been building for more than two weeks on the The Bachelorette.  As you’ll see in the preview for Monday’s episode, this season’s bad boy may even leave the show, bragging to the camera, “I don’t care about Ashley.  I had the opportunity and I played everyone.”  We’re about to witness an emotional breakdown, folks!  Especially given Ashley’s confession that she “completely fell in love with Bentley.”  Even host Chris Harrison commented about this incident on his blog, saying, “You will see the wheels completely come off this ride for Ashley – so much so we came very close to having to shut down production on our show.”

Tune in on Monday, June 6 at 8PM/7PM Central to watch one of the most talked about Bachelorette episodes yet.  PS: We’ve also heard through the grapevine that the masked man will finally be unveiled next week!  While we countdown until Monday’s episode, let us know which guy you think will be there to mend Ashley’s broken heart.  We’re guessing William or Ryan P.!  If you miss the show, don’t worry – we will be back on Tuesday for our episode recap!

On Monday we were treated to the season premiere of The Bachelorette, which introduced us to Ashley Hebert’s guys.  While she’s got a great group of men, there will certainly be drama this season – and even a villain.  The rumors about Bentley being on the show for the wrong reasons are confirmed in this short clip, where he says Ashley is not his type and doesn’t meet the checklist of criteria of what he’s looking for in a wife.  However, during his one-on-one time with Ashley, Bentley pretends to display some insecurity (a trait that destroyed Ashley’s relationship with Brad), as Bentley thanks her for giving him the final rose in the first ceremony.  Even at this very early point in their relationship, our bubbly bachelorette appears desperate to keep Bentley around and alleviate his supposed self-doubt by saying, “If you feel something for me, please stay because I feel something for you.”  It’s clear that despite all of the warnings Ashley’s heard about this businessman before even meeting him, she’s completely smitten!

Make sure to tune in to ABC on Monday, May 30 at 8PM/7PM Central to see Ashley’s dates with the remaining 18 bachelors in Vegas – including her date with Bentley!  In the meantime, let us know which bachelor you think may find romance with Ashley in Sin City.  Don’t forget to visit us next week for our Tuesday morning recap!

As we all know, Ashley Hebert was one of the final three women in the running for Brad Womack’s heart last season on ABC’s The Bachelor.  While the spark between them eventually fizzled as Ashley repeatedly experienced doubt about their relationship, this dainty dentist is back for round two of the love game as season 7’s Bachelorette!

We’ve followed all of the buzz leading up to this season, as people have wondered what type of bachelorette Ashley would be, and even made a few early predictions about her first picks.  Without further adieu, here’s last night’s season premiere recap:
