OMG, did you see the size of Chantal’s parents’ house?? That thing is a castle. What does this mean? She’s not just a girl who dresses like a stewardess on the day her boyfriend Brad will meet her parents. She’s not just the girl with perfect pink blushed cheeks and cute ears that fold out on top just a tiny bit when she pulls her hair back. She’s so much more. She’s loaded!! Who knew?? Did you see that double stair case in the entry foyer? Did you notice that this mansion is overlooking the water? If Brad doesn’t marry her, I might.
The only other comment I’ll make before we post our Bachelor After Party video review later tonight and my official review tomorrow night is this: Since when was Ashley H a “dental student?” We have been duped. From the very beginning we were led to believe she was an actual dentist. If she’s a student, is it summer break for her that she has all of this time to take off and compete on this show? Shouldn’t she be in a clinic learning how to do fillings and crowns? Is this really the perfect time for her to meet someone?
Shawntel was awesome and I will miss her. But the look on Brad’s face throughout this hometown date said it all. Not interested.
If I haven’t poisoned myself or The Husband from the chicken I cooked for dinner tonight, we will post our video review shortly. Enjoy the rest of your President’s Day!

Either my TV screen has gotten smaller over the last few weeks, or Chantal O, has increased in size.
I thought Ashley, WAS a dentist.
Shantel, the funeral director, was willing to give up her family business, to be with some guy she knows about 36 hours, or maybe a little bit longer.
And finally, is Emily willing to uproot her Ricky, to move to Texas? Not going to happen.
So, I guess there will be Brad, Part III, coming to The Bachelor program, very soon.

I can't believe Ashley is not an actual dentist! How misleading?!?? They showed her like working with a patient in the first episode! Haha. Now all of a sudden she has all this schooling left, that she WILL finish according to her family. I would hope she is going to finish considering she is posing as a dentist on national TV anyway.
I agree with the comment above about Chantal, although I think it might have just been that awful dress that she was wearing at the rose ceremony. And the awful hair and earings didn't help much.
Emily's date was cute. I am wondering when this breakdown that is supposed to happen that they've been teasing all season will happen. Or maybe it's fake and they will in fact live hapily ever after? I found it funny that her 5 year old daughter is still sucking her thumb. And I loved how she lives in this big beautiful house all by herself and inside she has a hot pink couch in the middle of an empty room. Perhaps if she doesn't win the bachelor's heart she can get a modeling job and then higher an interior decorator?
Shawntal should have seen that coming after making poor Brad get on that table. How creepy to see a potential wife standing over you with a scalpal?!?
Mary says
i think ashley is a resident – which means she has completed her schooling and technically has a doctoral degree she just hasn't been certified to practice independently. I have to say I was skeptical when they said she was like 25 and a dentist already! I think she must still be doing her residency.

Dental school is 4 years. So unless she skipped a year at some point in her life and went through all of the necessary qualifications to get her doctorate, she's most likely still a student and not Dr. Ashley H yet.

So the bang braids have been traded in for boots this episode…
I wonder how Chantal can look so thin and beautiful on the hometown date and then look like she did at the rose ceremony? – it is amazing what different outfits can do to your figure?
Pensguys says
I DEFINITELY think Chantal has gained weight. Last week she said she had gained a little and the felt like a "fat lard" in her bathing suit. She is so emotional, probably lots of emotional eating going on for her. Plus they don't do too much between the dates, do they?

Brad – getting married is not in the cards for you. I liked Shawntel, but the editing they did on her segment was a literal hatchet job. Why did they portray her that way? To find a reason why he got rid of her? She's an independent women who obviously is not afraid to get her hands She has a beautiful face, but I just don't think it will work out with she and Brad. Ashley got on my nerves and finding out she's not a dentist yet was a big surprise…why couldn't she just describe herself as dental student and Stacey, I agree with you – she couldn't be too serious if she's going on the Bachelor at this pt. in her schooling. I've heard Emily's fiancee who died was from money….hence the big house. For a 24 year old woman that's pretty good and I'm sure there is a nanny living there as well. She just seems so mature for a 24 year old, but these girls are just too young for old Brad in his late thirties. She portrays herself as the perfect person – perfect looking, perfect young mom, perfectly nice. I don't know – this season is not turning out so great….wonder if Brad is thinking he made a mistake in his final choices?

Part of my comment above got deleted….

Emily's fiancé was Ricky Hendrick, son of the owner and founder of Hendrick Motor Sports, they sponsor Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and 2 or 3 other big name racers. The house belonged to her and Ricky before he passed away. And I bet her daughter has been staying with her grandparents, Ricky's parents.
Chantal's dad use to play football for the Seattle Seahawks and owns 10 high end car dealerships in the Seattle area. She has crazy amounts of money in her family! They also live on Mercer Island in the middle of Lake Washington which is one of the most expensive areas in Seattle. I don't think its fair to judge the girls if they have gained weight, Ali admitted she put in a few pounds because of all the traveling, alcohol and lack of being able to go to a gym. I think all the girls are beautiful and should be remembered form their personalities and not their weight!
I honestly think Emily is way too good for Brad and my thought is (I haven't read spoilers just a hunch) that the producers are grooming her to be the next bachelorette, just like they did with Chris L! I would love for her to be able to call the shots and find someone closer to her age!

Ashley is a 4th year dental student at Penn. She's nice. Dunno where they filmed the footage of her in the first episode b/c that's not the school's dental clinic.

How is Emily being groomed to be the next bachelorette as was Chris L who didn't become the next bachelor. Emily is beautiful and boring so how exciting would the show be if she were to be the next bachelorette. Brad met all the women's parents and siblings except Emily's. She did say her dad was a coal miner: so what? Coal miners are decent and hard working people. Does Emily even associate with her parents or they too unsophisticated and not television worthy? Loretta Lynn's dad was a coal miner and she loved him and even wrote a song to honor him. Emily's daughter paternal grandparents are wealthy and providing very well for them both. Emily has a sad story but she put herself out there and is fair game as the other girls. They are all out to find a rich man. Have you ever seen a poor man cast as "The Bachelor"? Emily ought to take off her engagement ring and move on. Emily is sweet but all that glitters is not pure gold. I'm sure Brad will make the right decision and I hope it works out well for him and the lady of his choice. I hope Emily will be able to move on and find a great husband and step dad for her awesome little girl.

Jesus…and we wonder why girls have eating disorders!! Maybe you guys should look at yourselves before making comments about Chantal being "fat" because I highly doubt you all are Victoria Secret models. Seriously people, don't be mean.
Suzi says
Well said, Julia 🙂

Well Chantal is not that fat at all. With her height her body figure is still ok. 🙂

To comments regarding Chantal's size…are you kidding me. She is drop dead gorgeous and she has serious killer curves. If you think she is fat, you are either really jealous and insecure or you need your eyes checked. She is beautiful, inside and out and her personality is infectious. Any guy would be lucky to be with her and if I was a guy, I would be proud to stand beside her as her man.
