The Bachelorette!!! Episode 1

Yes, I am delayed by a week.  :) But I'm here now.. :) Ashley has a great set of guys (except for one, but we'll get to him later).. I'm going to try to compound Episode 1 and Episode 2 into the same blog post.  Ashley looks GREAT.. love the new hair color and she appears that she's lost some weight.  Also, she's gained a stylist (thank goodness) so her clothes are TDF (to die for)........ :)

Episode One
Ashley starts the episode sitting down with Chris Harrison and spilling to him that a "friend" of hers (who later turns out to be Michelle Money from last season's The Bachelor) let her know about a guy named Bentley who is there for the wrong reasons.  She tells Chris that she is going into that relationship with her guard up and "hopes he isn't that cute"..Let's go in order of who gets out of the limo..
