Welcome to THG Asks, a feature in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument!
Today, THG Asks: Who should Ashley Hebert choose on The Bachelorette season finale, Ben or J.P.?
BEN by Free Britney
He doesn’t look like a stereotypical reality show hunk. Heck, he looks like a less handsome version of Constantine.
He uses phrases like “ruh-roh.” He talks about his deceased father too much. He took his sweet time before he would truly open up to Ashley.
Frustrating? At times, yes. But all of these things are part of what make Ben Flajnik so human, so appealing, and the obvious choice for our girl.
There’s no facade with Ben, a funny, smart, free-spirited Sonoma winemaker with a lot of heart (no matter how closely he guarded it for weeks).
He’s the genuine article. Ben isn’t fling material. He’s husband material, a complex, nurturing guy with whom love can actually Evolve over time.
Hopefully, Ashley picks Ben and all he brings to the table on Monday’s finale. If not, I bet come January, ABC can find 25 other girls who would.
Can Ben pull off the upset on Monday’s finale?
J.P. by Hilton Hater
If I had a nickel for every time JP Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert have made out on The Bachelorette this season, I’d have more money in my bank account than Chris Harrison gets for playing the most pimp-like host on TV.
These two have serious, lip-locking chemistry!
While others clearly came on for the wrong reasons (eat it, Bentley!), JP is as nice and honest as any contestant in recent memory. Has this made for especially entertaining TV? Not every week. But the show is about love, not ratings.
JP has all the physical attributes Ashley could want in a mate, as well. He’s easy on the eyes and he resides in nearby NYC, just a quick car ride away. Might he be living a double life? Sure. But no guy is perfect.
THG Asks you … who should Ashley choose?
