Ah, the pretty episode of "The Bachelorette." The remaining three bachelors head to Fiji for the overnight date, whereby they declaim their love for Ashley Hebert. Until they do not. Or until one of our lotharios -- obligatory spoiler alert at this point -- does not. Read on.
WHAT'S THE 'SHOCKER'? Ashley gets the heave-ho again -- this time by Constantine. Is Connie the third to get cold feet? Was Bentley the second this season? Losing count. Monday night, the overnight date edition, and Connie simply decided he'd had enough. In shocker No. 2, Ryan Park comes back, thinking he can talk Ashley out of booting him. Doesn't work.
HOW'D JP DATE GO? A plane squires them to a deserted island. Ashley: "I feel what we have is very special and it could last a lifetime." Roslyn's JP: "I'm feeling pretty good about us. I'm ready for it to end . . . but knowing there are two other guys, that's what I'm afraid of." The finalists -- JP and Ben.
WHO GOT THE ROSE? Oddly, both Ben and JP -- even though Constantine earlier hit the eject button. Why even bother with a rose ceremony? Because poor Ash wasn't entirely certain they both would accept.
They (phew) did. On to the finale.
