The Bachelorette

Ashley Hebert is in for one heck of a shock next week. Viewers already know what's in store, and have reached for something to vomit into accordingly.

Bentley Williams makes a long-dreaded return to The Bachelorette in order for Ashley to seek "closure." The other guys? Far from pleased about this.

How long will Bentley stick around? Who will receive roses at the end of this episode, making it one step closer to those coveted hometown dates?

Click here for The Bachelorette spoilers if you care to know the answers to those questions. But clearly, the drama will be running high on Monday.

Here's the preview for next week (after last night's ceremony):

The Bachelorette Episode 5 Rose Ceremony & Preview

William Holman, who was sent packing by Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert on last night's episode, will have a shot at redemption on Bachelor Pad this summer.

He becomes the first of the three "mystery men" to join the Bachelor Pad cast, which was unveiled last week, sans fellas still competing on The Bachelorette.

No word if Bentley will join William on the August 8 premiere.

William's stint on The Bachelorette can best be described as up and down.

The 30-year-old nice guy from Ohio went on an awesome first date with Ashley, but stumbled hard soon after, making her sob during a comedy roast.

He somehow survived that debacle, but shot himself in the foot Monday, sabotaging Ben C. for no reason at all and coming off as beyond immature.

Note to guys: If you describe yourself as a "30-year-old boy" who wants a girl you can "act silly" around "not grow up" with ... you're gonna get dumped.

On the flip side, Bachelor Pad is probably the perfect fit for you.

Ashley Hebert's global quest for love and adventure continued on The Bachelorette last night. One concussion and three eliminations later, she's onto the next leg ... but the long shadow cast by a former contestant remains.

Girl still can't quit Bentley Williams.

We're starting to wonder how staged this is. It's now been two whole episodes since he left. Is she really still hung up on him, or is the show baiting her?

Never has a group date gotten this violent.

Maybe you just want what you can't have, and the uncertainty of that dot dot dot garbage made it impossible for her to just move on. Who knows.

In any case, we'll find out next week when the slime returns. This week, it was all about the men fighting for Ashley's love. In the literal sense.

The Bachelorette spoilers we've compiled hint at what happens with Bentley (sigh) as well as the final men standing, so read at your own risk.

Right now, let's break down last night's episode, the fifth of the season, THG style. Continue on for our patented +/- Bachelorette recap ...

Chris Lambton and Peyton Wright of The Bachelorette and The Bachelor quasi-fame are engaged, according to reports. They're engaged to each other!

The runner-up on Ali Fedotowsky's season of The Bachelorette began dating the contest from Andy Baldwin's Bachelor season last summer.

Peyton Wright, who met Chris at a Bachelor franchise reunion event (a.k.a. hookup fest), also appeared on season one of Bachelor Pad.

Lambton was offered the opportunity to appear as The Bachelor after he lost out to Roberto Martinez for Ali's heart, but he turned down the offer.

ABC decided to give Brad Womack another chance at love. Oye.

We all know how that turned out. Anyway, Ashley Hebert is The Bachelorette now, and Chris Lambton "found the love of his life" in Peyton Wright.

“We are so incredibly happy," he says. "She was worth the wait.”

Great news from a great guy. Congratulations to the couple!

The Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert is happily engaged, according to new reports.

Who's the lucky guy? That you'll have to wait 'til August 1 to find out ... or read The Bachelorette spoilers we've posted that have been 100 percent true so far.

In any case, it's good to hear the happy news, seeing as Ashley Hebert nearly lost hope after Bentley Williams stabbed her in the heart. Figuratively that is.

This week's Life & Style cover story says that Ashley did shake off Bentley's betrayal eventually, and is engaged to the man she gave her final rose to.

On a secluded Fiji island May 13, the last remaining hopeful got down on one knee and proposed with a stunning diamond ring (Neil Lane, obvi).

"Ashley's elated," an insider reveals to the celebrity gossip publication. "She's engaged to the winner and is now wearing her engagement ring."

"I'm happy with the way things turned out for me," Ashley says.

We haven't seen the last of Bentley Williams on The Bachelorette.

The previews at the end of last night's rose ceremony strongly imply he will be back next week. However, all The Bachelorette spoilers we've read and compiled so far indicate that he returns in episode six - the week after next.

Here's the final segment of Monday's episode, preview included:

The Bachelorette Week Four Rose Ceremony & Preview

Our theory is that Ashley Hebert's talk with Chris Harrison and knocking on Bentley's door do take place next week, but the parasite himself doesn't actually show his manipulative face until the following week, stringing viewers along.

Regardless, Ashley is clearly hung up on the loser (she talked about Bentley non-stop on last night's episode) and is just going to get hurt again, as if Bentley hadn't done enough. She was just starting to get over his "shocking" exit too.

So sad for the girl. So great for the producers.

He wasn't even on the show last night, but Bentley Williams still loomed large over The Bachelorette, as Ashley Hebert tried to move on from his sudden exit.

Two dozen references to that shady character aside, the show gave us a boilerplate, run-of-the-mill episode with Ashley continuing her quest for love.

Thailand was the scene of three fun dates, a lot of kissing, a charitable endeavor, the man-claws coming out, and some seriously bad weather.

 Not your typical group date, but certainly a rewarding one.

Save for a minor rule change by Ashley Hebert, there weren't too many surprises, as we're seen episodes like this many times and the favorites remain.

Will Ashley truly move on from Bentley and trust someone else? Eventually, you have to think so ... he doesn't win, after all. But she's not there yet.

The Bachelorette spoilers we've compiled offer hints on when Bentley returns (groan) as well as the final rose hopefuls, so check those out if you like.

Right now, let's break down last night's episode, the fourth of the season, THG style. Continue on for our patented +/- Bachelorette recap ...

The cast of Bachelor Pad, ABC's lowest-common-denominator (but still fun, we can't lie) spinoff of The Bachelor and Bachelorette, has been released!

Season 2 of the raunchy funhouse antics kicks off August 8, with 18 stars from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette coming together under one roof.

So who will duke it out for $250,000, free booze, a better than average opportunity to get laid a lot and another 15 minutes of fleeting fame?

Perhaps most notably, Jake Pavelka visits the Pad after his engagement to Vienna Girardi ended. She'll be there too ... with new man Kasey Kahl.

Also, Gia Allemand is back for a second season, while newcomers Michael Stagliano and Holly Durst were recently engaged. It's gonna be awk.

Here are the full Bachelor Pad Season 2 rosters:

In his three-week stint on The Bachelorette, Bentley Williams openly lamented that Ashley Hebert was the star of the show, not Emily Maynard.

Suffice it to say, Emily is far from flattered.

Maynard, who won The Bachelor last season, besting Hebert and Chantal O'Brien, is offended by Bentley's cruel treatment of her former co-star.

Emily Maynard Speaks on Bentley

"He clearly had an agenda for being on the show, and it wasn't to fall in love," Emily Maynard says in a new video for Bachelor (dot) TV.

Despite his claims that things would be different if Emily were The Bachelorette, she says he would always be a sleaze with ulterior motives.

Bentley crushed Ashley this week, bailing on the show but not before disparaging her behind her back and implying there was still a chance.

Emily Maynard says that someday, Bentley will get his.

Jake Pavelka is making it a trifecta.

The Bachelorette castoff turned Bachelor star is coming to season two of Bachelor Pad this summer! Counting his stint on Dancing With the Stars, this will be the fourth ABC reality show for Jake in two years. Pretty amazing.

Pavelka, who is also starring on Famous Food with Heidi Montag and Ashley Dupre (seriously, that's a real show) will be competing for 15 more minutes of fame - and $250,000 - with other Bachelor rejects August 8.

EW broke the story with its report that Jake took Jackie Gordon (from last season of The Bachelor) out on the town for a date at LA’s El Capitan theater.

While Jackie didn’t make the final cut with Brad Womack, maybe she and Jake will fare better. Eh, Brad and Jake are both uptight stiffs, so probably not.

ABC has not announced the full cast of Bachelor Pad, but if rumors are true, Jake's ex-fiancee Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl, her new man, are both on it!

That is going to be seriously awkward. And ratings gold.
