It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole two weeks since the last episode of The Bachelorette.  Last night, we picked up again in Asia with the remaining six guys vying to make it to the final rose ceremony.  The night started off with Ashley presenting the first one-on-one date to Constantine.  The pair quickly took off on a steam engine to the remote village of Ping Shi, where they took part in the traditional lantern festival.  The couple painted imagery on their lantern of things they were both hoping for in their relationship.  It was a pretty big step for the rather reserved Constantine to paint an engagement ring and children on the lantern with Ashley.  After a romantic dinner, the couple then released their lantern into the sky with the rest of the village.

Ashley then gave another one-on-one date to Constantine’s twin, Ben.  She and Ben stayed close to each other as they went for a scooter ride through Taroko National Park.  While on her date with Ben, Ashley admitted that she considered him to be her boyfriend, as was evident with the make out session on the suspension bridge.  The pair then caused quite the controversy when Ben returned back to the hotel first thing in the morning to a very angry J.P., whose jealousy really shone through.  Then came the worst group date in all of The Bachelorette history!  Ashley took the insanely jealous J.P., Lucas and Ames to take mock wedding photos.  Seriously, she doesn’t even have the engagement ring and she’s making them take wedding photos?  This sent J.P. over the edge completely and his only consolation was getting the group date rose from Ashley.

After J.P.’s temper tantrum, Ashley chose Ryan for the night’s last one-on-one date.  The pair started off by reflecting on people praying to different gods in the temple and after discussing the practice of people doing Tai Chi, Ryan launched into what seemed like a business pitch.  This put Ashley over the edge and she told him that it wasn’t working out and walked away leaving him with just the camera crew.  Forgoing the cocktail party for the second time this season to cut right to the rose ceremony, Ashley then sent Lucas packing and leaving Constantine, Ben, J.P. and Ames still in the running for the final rose and a chance to propose with a diamond engagement ring.

Also on last night’s episode was the heart wrenching interview with Chris Harrison and former Bachelor winner, Emily Maynard.  The single mom was presented with a diamond engagement ring from Bachelor Brad at the final rose ceremony but after the season ended the couple found themselves at the center of every tabloid story around.  The pressure seemed to be too much for the couple, and although they both admittedly still love and care for each other they have no plans of exchanging wedding bands anytime soon.  Maybe Bentley will get his wish and have Emily be the next Bachelorette.
